		<description>Hi Jared, well I haven&#039;t signed up yet, but will after I&#039;ve posted this comment. 

I was going to say just what Gypsy said! I actually look for blogs now that have good content and don&#039;t post too often! That way I know I can truly appreciate their value: I can&#039;t speed read at all, so I have to be selective and take my time and enjoy reading:)

So, focus on your studies and enjoy Curacao after. 

Look forward to your posts as and when they come...</description>

		<description>@Gypsy Jane,
That&#039;s cool. Thanks for the insight. You know I&#039;m the same way. I love reading good content, but when I don&#039;t get to a certain feed in my RSS reader for a week and I see there are 5-12 new updates... I usually flip through them quickly, only looking at some briefly, more than likely this is when I unsubscribe or re-evaluate if they offer anything I really want to keep up with. 

Thanks for the &quot;meaty&quot; comment also! ;-)</description>

		<description>Hah - One of my pet peeves is when I sign up to receive a blog or updates and get inundated with way more posts or emails than I have time to read with full attention.  I&#039;d be good with one a week - yours are meaty enough I want time to digest them.  I want to see a new post in Google Reader and think &quot;Oh good, Jared posted!&quot;, not &quot;Oh God, where am I going to get time to read all this stuff?&quot;
Have a great trip.

		<description>Mate I&#039;ll be hanging in there. Good luck with powering through to the end of the MBA. I&#039;m sure your holiday will be awesome. You&#039;ve been doing awesome as is, so I&#039;ve got nothing to offer on how to do this better.

Be like a tree, and a human. ;)</description>

Thanks for the heads up on the hugs!! 

Isn&#039;t there just something so great about people that aren&#039;t afraid to give a hug. Or even greater yet, witnessing the change in some one who was once broken and alone then to see them reach out and be part of something greater. Once they felt they had nothing to offer and soon realize by giving or receiving a simple hug they&#039;re giving something special... (sorry I digressed there a little)

Yes I should be working on homework right now! 
Thanks for the comment!</description>

		<description>Best wishes with all the things on your plate right now! We&#039;ll look forward to getting more news after school and your trip (and scuba diving) are memories ... and of course you have to keep some good chunks of time open for your granddaughter. (My preschooler is fortunate enough to have all four of his grandparents close by, and those relationships are priceless. Get in all the hugs possible!)</description>

		<description>I&#039;m hangin&#039; in there! I appreciate you writing this post. I feel like a lot of bloggers don&#039;t write for awhile and never say why or if they will be back. This leaves readers wondering, &quot;Should I stop coming by?&quot; Thanks for the update!</description>
