Liz and Sam have it all: a happy marriage, a precocious preteen son named Nate, and a house that's just the right size for the three of them. Then, Liz's parents move in. Grandpa Irv is a kindly but occasionally grumpy Korean War vet who loves watching TV, bickering over politics, and spoiling his grandson. His wife Sarah is equally strong-willed, whether urging Irv to diet, questioning her daughter's parenting choices, or finding surprising success as an advice blogger.
With an estimated 50+ million Americans living in such families as of today, Freshly Squeezed is a refreshing look at newfound family togetherness after the economic collapse. Can three generations of one family share their lives, their feelings, their dwindling fortunes and a bathroom — and keep their sense of humor in the process? Pay a visit to the Freshly Squeezed family to find out! Freshly Squeezed is the brainchild of Ed Stein, an award-winning political cartoonist. He created the local comic strip, Denver Square, for the Denver Rocky Mountain News for 12 years. He lived the Freshly Squeezed life first-hand when his kids were little and his 80-year-old father moved to Denver.

How does a woman…how does ANYONE go to college with no thought of a future career? Was she a heiress when she was 20? She must have been gorgeous if she was that dense and still snagged a husband.

Looks like she is headed for a job in retail or fast food.

When she graduated there was probably a job she could have gotten. But not now. Depressions make for poor job possibilities and choices.

At least she’s not out making an ass of herself as an Occupier.

She can work in various museums or art galleries or maybe the library at a local university?

She was going for an MRS degree….
Sad, but I know many girls who only go for that purpose.

It sounds like she was studying something she was interested in.
