't have the ability to open my own shop at this point, so that will be the only way I can enter the field right now. I'm always looking for the opportunity, and I know a lot of people in the industry, so I feel that if that is what I need to be doing, the opportunity will come.
In a way, I feel pretty fortunate. I'm satisfied with my career, and, given the chance to go back and do it again, I'd still end up where I'm at. I have pretty long hours, which can be unpredictable, and am in the middle of a 2-year research project which is a means to an end, rather than a burning desire for knowledge. However, all the other parts of my life are great, and I will be back at'real' work on the first Wednesday in August next year. I can't wait.
My husband quit his job a few weeks ago, and I've never been happier. He's a little worried about what the future holds, but, wow, the kids and I sure like him a lot better now that he's unloaded some of that stress he's been clenching for years.
He's in IT as well. I really hope for him to get into a different field (He'd be a natural financial advisor) but he's more comfortable with staying in his "chosen" field, so IT he will probably remain.
Jeremy I appreciate your post! Faith makes walking through life so much "easier", especially knowing this is not all there is!
I am enjoying my current career and I think it is really cool because I am able to help families accomplish a lot of things in their lives that we are talking about as I consult with them on finances. The time spent with family, providing good education for their kids and so many other things mentioned in these posts are the dreams that my clients have. I am blessed to have the tools help them assemble a gameplan to achieve those. We are not limited either in WHO we can help since we can help people with everything from simple budgeting, investing, income protection all the way to the estate planning process. My favorite thing about my company is that in the process I am able to accomplish my dreams and goals for my family since the more people I help, the closer my family gets to reaching our goals. It is a great feeling to know that if I help my clients win, that I will win as well.
Guava - If you all end up back in the states and your husband is interested in the Financial Advising PM me. We are hiring across the country and in Canada!
Wow - what an awesome crew here at John Stone Fitness! Love all of the replies - you all ROCK!
Okay, so the last quote was contrived.Instagram images are not displaying on Twitter cards as of Sunday afternoon. Instead, users are being shown an empty white space where a photo should live. A link to the Instagram photo is still included.
Update: A Facebook spokesperson confirmed to AllThingsD that Instagram has disabled all support for Twitter cards. Instead, Instagram shots shared via Twitter will only include a link to the photo's Instagram URL.
Several Twitter users have indicated the problem is only happening on official Twitter applications, while third-party apps remain unaffected.
Several months after Facebook acquired Instagram, the latter company disabled its integration with Twitter cards. The change resulted in users' images being shown in a cropped format, the same treatment received by other images. Soon afterward, Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom explained that decision while promising Instagram would "always be integrated with Twitter."Event Information

We were impressed with the product and the price. Jake and Mike did a great job with replacing our units and cleaning up afterwards. I would highly recommend Patriot because of the price, product, professionalism, and promptness."
"It went great! Prompt service and very friendly service technician. I can always count on Patriot HVAC when I need them!"
"I've used him on several occasions. I have a service contract. He's done a lot of work for me. He's wonderful. He's reasonable and very personable. I recommended him to family members and friends so he is wonderful. It was excellent or I wouldn't have had him back. I've had other plumbers and he was half the price and very very good. He actually came back and redid the faucet in my sink and redid the wires underneath. He was better than the one before. He had to come by and kind of fix what another plumber had done. He was great. As I said, I am still under service contract and I have some more work I want him to do with an old sink in my basement but I'll wait till after the first of the year. I have had a couple of emergency problems and he came out within the hour."
"They did an excellent job! They were extremely good, good service, very courteous workmen and answered all of our questions. They were great! We had them back to check the furnace in the Winter. They had to replace some component in the air conditioning compressor outside and they found one that was extremely reasonable in price.
My husband called with additional questions, they gave him answers and explained everything completely. They were really great! They called before they came and came when they said they would, and to me that makes a big difference! They explained absolutly everything."
"It went wonderfully. They were fair. They were really wonderful, personable, incentive. Everything you would want to have. I could emphasize the integrity and amiability or they were very personable."
"They were wonderful. I am very happy with them. He was not pushy with anything. He explained the options to me and let me make my choices. Their price was reasonable too.I would recommend them to any body. I also would absolutely use them again."
"Very well as usual. This is my go to company for my HVAC needs on my home and rental units."
"They were fantastic. I would recommend them to anybody. Four stars. The workers were great. There's really nothing they can do better."
"In the worst of the summer heat, my AC unit went out. Patriot not only came out the very next day, they offered me multiple options to work within my price point. They took the time to explain everything to me in detail and really did diligence to be sure everything was done perfectly. They were wonderful - strongly recommend!"
"I am writing this review a couple weeks after the work was done. First off let me tell you that Jacob is one of the finest persons I have ever had the pleasure to deal with. He was courteous, honest, and very personable. He gave us a couple of estimates for a new furnace and ac. He never once pressured us on which to pick, answered every question we had. He also offered a couple of other things we could add on, once again only if we wanted. On the day of installation he arrived promptly when he said he would and his workmanship was above and beyond. He explained everything to my wife as he was installing the furnace. He then called me after I got home from work to follow up and to see if I had any questions. I will now use no one else but Patriot whenever I need any work done. Extremely pleased with everything he has done for us."
"The provider serviced over 300 furnaces for a housing cooperative.
Comments: Jake and his technician were prompt and professional. Jake was very informative on how to maintain a furnace and air conditioner to maximize the life of both."
"He was very courteous and professional. He came out the day I called because my furnace was not working at all, and then he came back the next morning to install a new furnace."
"EXCELLENT provider who gave exceptional service. He is now my only heating, cooling and plumbing specialist."
"I highly recommend Patriot Heating and AC. We research everything before we purchase and Patriot came in lower with all the same equipment. They pass on manufacturer’s discounts unlike other companies. Not only was it the best price, we could not have had a better installation experience. Jake was great to work with,
