Thank you. We’ve been having a discussion on my notes section. But I just blocked the trolls. One of them showed too much crazy.

Because of Brandon and my retired stratus, my loan "payment" is $0.00 each month. And this counts as a payment. I think I have four more years to go at that amount. Unless the fascists are elected and the deadbeat dirtbags like me are told pay up or else. If "else" is incarceration, it's toodles USA.

Wow. I’m you. Except I’m fairly certain I’m older, and I have a different degree. I paid mine off selling our Flagstaff property (no. It was the unfanciest of the unfancy. Off the grid, haul water, ended up selling to our neighbor). I was an actual public servant, helicopter EMS dispatcher, but, oh this, oh that.

Hubs loans are forgiven. He’s a network engineer and a published technical writer. Does he do any of that now? No.

It says a lot when you write your personal story but it’s universal. I’m painting a large piece of one of the Heber wild horses from outside flagstaff. I’ll hopefully finish it sometime this fall.
