David,

I have been down a similar path. My 1st lab was back in Dec 2005, Again in
Dec 2006, and then again in Nov 2007. This seems to be the worst approach,
but family and work need to be on the top of the list. I am scheduled to be
sitting in Nov 21st in SJ. I have been at home studying everyday for the
last 2 months, and I hope my best attempt is next to come.

I have every intention of passing this time, but if I don't I am scheduling
45 days out and go again and again and again until DONE! This has gone on
long enough for me, and I want to move on to bigger and better things.

Best of Luck to you and don't ever quit!
