Beans and rice...that was for the days when i was feeling rich! I
survived on ramen noodles for my BS, MS, and PhD (ask Gordon what those
initials stand for). I used to watch the paper for ads so that I get
somewhere between 15 and 20 of the little packages for a dollar. Then,
I'd walk down to the grocery store and pick up 10 dollars worth and
carry them back to the apartment.

Now about selling my white blood cells so that I could buy 12 packs of
Meister Brau in a can...I'm just glad I'm not living like that anymore -
it was a rough decade.

I'm not quite ready yet. I've got to see how the finances go over the
next 6 months (daughter in grad school). On the bright side she's
doing her master's and PHD at the same time so that should shorten the
pain.
