My sisters are pissed with the nurses, lazy shower. People are left unattended, unwashed and unfed while they talk about their social life and gossip
Very difficult. Thinking of you.

Appreciate it.
Last night was also kind of a celebration that he made it through the surgery, hopefully this is just the start of the recovery process for him.

That one's a killer for me Elvira I've been here 10 years and on the whole I've enjoyed it and I really think the US is a great place for young kids because there is so much for them to do. Yes, it has gotten very expensive since I first came here but thankfully I have a good job. I think economically the difference between living in the US and Europe is getting smaller and smaller.

Missing family and friends is the hardest part How much longer will I be in the US ? I have no idea, it's hard to leave the great weather but at the same time perhaps I have my priorities arse over tit as I only get to see my parents and siblings about once every 18 months

ROFL, must be a bloody Saints fan :P

By the way, the correct spelling is Wiggin :P

Setanta Sport is an Irish sports channel that DirecTV have. They show quite a few Prem games now as well as the Rugby League. So, if you like footie and rugby and you have FSC and Setanta then you're laughing mate.
