[QUOTE="Lil, post: 750012, member: 17309"] That is just so awesome! I wish my son would learn a trade. My husband even knows how to get grants so the basic training is free - he does it all the time for inmates leaving the institution. But no... Except we aren't retiring for 5 more years. At least, that's the plan. So...guess what? The question is moot. We got a call last night and...drum roll please... [B]They went to the courthouse yesterday and got married [/B]- on her lunch hour!:wow: I told her "You should have made him be more romantic than that!" So yeah. She plans on changing her name to ours, which is fine. They hadn't told her parents yet - It was about 8 our time, so 6 theirs? So I wasn't allowed to put it on Facebook yet. I did make the RE Agent offer, but they think they have that covered. He says his oldest friend - the GOOD "J" is managing a Convenience store or something so he thinks he can get a job. I told him NOT to expect other people to get him jobs and do his own looking! :groan: On the up side, she is a CNA and a has experience as a medical receptionist and she's truly bilingual, which will be a very big plus here. Most of the Hispanic population here are restaurant employees with limited English. That sounds so racist, but we're in white-bread, redneck, republican territory here. She should be able to find a decent job pretty easily with 2 hospitals, about 5 nursing homes and dozens of medical offices. If he'll get his head out of his hiney, well, who knows? As for living with us, we aren't inviting. If they ask, and I really do expect they might, it will be for a VERY short time while they find another place. Jabber and I both almost joked that he found a way to get around our "no overnight girlfriends in our house" rule - but Jabber was afraid he'd take it as an insult and I was afraid he'd take it as an invite! So yeah...there's that. [/QUOTE]
