Losing your job, quitting school, going broke and moving back home with your mother after living abroad for years would be tough on anyone.
It's even tougher when you're a former military dictator who once had the power to execute opponents at will.
must be rough

Oh goodness. Here I'm thinking, I know who she's talking about.... Then, I thought you were kidding. I...guess not.
Is it bad to wish this fate on GW Bush too? He is, after all, attempting to be a dictator.
oh my god. yeah, i can picture him moving back in with George Senior and Barbara, sitting in the garage drinking cheap wine with his basebal cap on backwards.
now that would be funny.
Ha ha ha. That story hits me pretty close to home. I had troubles in college and ended up dropping out. Meanwhile my little brother finished college and got a "real" job as an accountant while I moved to the big city to live the artist/musician/bohemium lifestyle. Every time my parents got mad at me they held my brother up as an example of how to live life the right way.
10 years later my brother lives with my parents (in the basement!!!) and works in a wood pulp processing plant in smalltown Wisconsin, has been divorced and supports 2 kids. I don't really mean any sarcasm, because I wish my brother the best, but things don't always turn out the way they seem like they will.
And I guess the dictator story does illustrate the old saying that your family will be there for you even when nobody else is...
Oh (sorry, off topic), kd I've been thinking about something you said before about alternate OS and browsers. Do you run Linux? Does it have a GUI or is it a command-line system like DOS? And is Opera worth paying for? I ran a free version of it, but now they want money and I have to decide whether to pop for it or not.
He sounds like he has adjusted alright.
