If you're barely meeting the minimum and have few assets, you might qualify for a waiver of the fee. If you do a VJ search, there's several mentions of it. I have it bookmarked at home (I'm on campus atm). Likely something I'll request (I can show my big fat student loan debt to help :P ).

yes! i was kinda irritable the past couple days (for no good reason, just in a mood) and not in the mood to talk much with my fiance. when i read her story i was bawling! i immediately got in contact with my love and told him how much i love him, how grateful I am for him!

It could happen to any of us! I hope if anything this will help us appreciate every person we have in our life because they can be gone just like that. we are all so blessed beyond measure!!
