I keep waiting for them to bring back this character. Seems like they've brought back pretty much every other minor character from the first few seasons.
This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. The Catholic Church is an institution of the past. Like Men-Only Gentlemen Clubs, it will soon be viewed as an irrelevant and antiquated relic of a different era.
This economy ain't no joke. Especially when you are the most irresponsible couple in the world. These guys get a homeless shelter. Other folks have fared much worse without being rabid consumers.
I have lived on 15k relatively recently, and while on paper it's enough, you are not taking into account the ups and downs of life. If any unexpected thing happens, car breaks, sickness, layoff, you are living in a tent city. And it only has to happen once over your life. Chances are, over a working life, a person making this much will be homeless at some time. And if they make it past working age, they will surely be living out of a tent, eating cat food.
One reason was stated above: you cannot save significant amounts of money on 15k. Not to mention that the poor pay through the nose for everything, and don't have credit.
So, I may have been using hyperbole, but only slightly. Now, I have known of immigrants from China or Mexico who pack into a single family dwelling. In that case, 15k would go a long way, I suppose.
>> ^imstellar28: Thats hyperbole if I ever heard it. $15,080 a year = $1256 a month. I don't care what city you live in you can find a $500 a month apartment.
15k isn't enough money to live on for most Americans because most Americans spend their money like fucking retards...which isn't much surprise, because most American's are fucking retards. It has absolutely nothing to do with cost of living.
We are digressing even further, but most American's don't even realize that their lives only exist to work, make, and give money to someone else. If you are a typical American, you spend 20-30 years working 2,080 hours a year making somewhere between $15,080 to $100,000 and at the end of each year you spend almost your entire paycheck regardless of your income level. It doesn't matter whether you have a hyundai or a lexus, your money (and thus your work, your time, and ultimately - your life) is handed over to someone else with hardly a second thought.
Marine, eh? Don't go and get yourself killed... that's what they do in them thar marines.

Gotta say, everything about her except the boobs and makeup (and apparent lack of penis) seems mannish... may be the hormones involved in growing a woman that tall, but more likely, it is a tranny.
The weather? Well we've had a some snow, both in October and this month, but none on the ground right now. We've had some unseasonably cold days, followed by unseasonably warm days. These past two weeks the temps are about normal - high in the 40s and low 50s and lows in the 20s and 30s.
Are you missing the west? That's my guess. You like the cold weather? I used to enjoy the cold winters, but not anymore. The wind blows like crazy here in Casper, and that makes the winter bitterly cold at times. Sometimes I think about moving to southern Arizona, but then I don't want to live in a desert. Phoenix - the nation's fifth largest city, in a freaking desert. With global warming I see ecological disaster on its horizon. But I suppose we're all screwed anyway.

1 bedroom, 3 bedrooms, 5 bedrooms, bus, hyundai, lexus, .10 acres, 1 acre, 10 acres - you think it really matters?
If you are working for anyone but yourself, you're a fool.

^if the coat of living was the same the world over, you would have a valid point. 15k in the US gets you a tent city address.

Wow! Blast from the past blows my mind! Welcome back, mate.
I was asking sockpuppet-wise, but I've grown to accept you as a person in your own right.
Where have you been all this time?

You mean like, literally or are you asking in a more existentialist manner?
