Are you getting the picture? Lets be honest, there are a lot of nice things over here. Number 1 being my husband is here and really "all you need is love", right?
Whoa mama. That is pricey! Is the pay scale higher?
ReplyDeleteKate... I love that you respond to all my posts... really! It makes me feel loved. The pay scale is a bit higher to help even things out, but not all the way. Being jobless right now, I can't believe the cost of living.
ReplyDeleteYeah it makes it even harder when you aren't making any money, blech. Glad you like it when I comment! No one ever comments on my blog and it stinks so I always comment on others :-)
ReplyDeleteSo can you work as a nurse there?
