1. Move to Miami

3. Profit

National unemployment is 10-20%, depending on how you measure it. The only places in America with lots of jobs are natural gas boomtowns.

I'd always heard that you either love it or hate it. What I didn't realize was that I would love it and hate it at the same time. lol! I no longer live there, but I do miss it. I still love it and hate it.

That's EXACTLY the problem with Florida; Too many people with One foot in the Door and One foot out the door. Geez...commit to a place and love your decision.

What does it say about the people that come here and hate it and spread their joy to everyone else????
