		<description>It's true that there exists also a Valentine's tree as well as 4th of July day tree but they are extremely rare varieties and are seldom seen in the wild. No living species of either have ever been procured.</description>

		<description>Hey... Just in case you aren't aware, but I have heard word that there is a new TV show on over there you might be interested in, called "Spaceballs: The Animated Series" (&lt;a href="http://www.g4tv.com/spaceballs/index.html" rel="nofollow"&gt;official website here&lt;/a&gt;). Apparently it's absolutely hilarious. ;p It's on G4, if you can get that station. Feel free to give me a buzz if you want me to hook you up with the "yarr-me-hearties" versions of the episodes that have aired thus far. :) (contact details for me are still available on www.riumplus.com/contact.html )</description>

		<description>you might check Amazon.com they have the "used &#38; new available from []" link that has sellers offering items for considerably less.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B000FQ9QVI/ref=dp_olp_2?ie=UTF8&#38;qid=1221065180&#38;sr=8-1

I've purchased merchandise through alternate sellers that way, and have almost always been 110% happy, with only one case where I was only 96.7% happy.

Just a thought.</description>

		<description>College is the way to go.   You'll either be doing it now, or as an "older" student, possibly an older student with kids.  I can't see you selling yourself short.  Sure, every person is different, but all the stats are right.  College is your investment in your future.  You are doing fine, for now, except for the scary "no health insurance" part.  Also, aside from the "being married" part (marrying that young is part of the values of your community, something not shared by many other communities in the US), you strike me as being like a lot like other young people I know - intelligent, interesting, creative, and still figuring out your future.  That's OK, great actually, there's time. I would not sacrifice short term "we are doing OK", with long term having a future. 

No health insurance, that's so sad.  I know that many people don't have health insurance, but that's so very scary.  It's not quite so bad when you are young (a lot of young people are healthy), but anything could happen.  I won't get into politics here (odds are we won't agree), but aside from politics, my suggestion is to figure out the health insurance thing, don't give up on it.  College will help with future employment propects, including ones that provide health insurance.  

Good luck and take care.</description>
