It's been horrible since I came here in February. 7.9%unemployment rate in Lee county, yep it shows...
Please post pictures of the snow in the winter. Shoveling your car out, etc.

What field are you in where they hire people sight unseen? Hired by telephone?
Must be a sales job.

Enjoy the new life!!!

I will be glad to post some pictures too. However I won't have to shovel my car out because I will actually have a subway 1/2 block away.

Ya, I'll send you a ton of pictures, lots of them, all for you. Here are a few from last winter buddy.






I'm actually in apartment management, have been for 15 years, and sight unseen? I'm not a car or a house. I have a great backround, and why am I answering to you anyways? Sales, not me, no way....

Wow... The obnoxious ones are coming out of the woodwork on here today!!! Unreal...

He is being sarcastic, like a few others today, could be the same guy as I dealt with earlier. Hard to tell since people have more than one member name which is against the rules.

I'll take lots of pictures....

You say that like it's a bad thing...

Most people enjoy seasons and a beautiful snow fall.. roaring fireplaces, a white christmas, cold weather, sweaters and jackets, snowmen, snowdays, ect, ect.

I know I do..

Yea I don`t see the problem, different strokes for different folks.....Some like tropics with mild winters some like Mediterranean climates like California and some like 4 seasons....

It`s ridiculous to argue about what weather is better because it`s a preference not a fact.

Agreed.

I'll go on record as saying that I'm a 4 seasons guy.

I love being able to look forward to the leaves changing, pumpkin pies, halloween, and thanksgiving in the fall... love to see the first snowfall in the winter, have a traditional white christmas, have 3-4 diffrent set of wardrobes, sweaters, jackets, ect, ect then when you're sick of winter, BOOM here comes the spring and everything comes back to life, bigger and greener then ever.. then the summer comes and you wish for winter again !

Default Altanta

Good aftnoon all. Just wanted to post 2 cents on Atlanta. If you are black gay or quite wealthy this place is great. I am not at all racist or homophobic just very honest. For most people it is a traffic nightmare, lousy air and nasty manners on the roads. I am stuck here for now (it's a long story). If you are planning on moving here check it out very thoroughly. Very bad education wise as well. LHG

Florida is like everything else in the world. What some people find paradise others find hell. For me, growing up it was the best place in the world and I wanted to raise my kids where I grew up. But by the time I was in my teens it had turned into hell after being discovered as the latest vacation destination. By the time my kids were teens it was so bad I couldn't imagine keeping them there, for safety and moral reasons. I'd love to go back to visit Key West and I do go see my Gram just over the state line when I can, but other than that, I don't care to ever go back even to visit. But a friend I grew up on the island with has been tossing back and forth going back. I think once she got there though she'd realize it's not the place it was when we were little. As I've gotten older I've come to realize you just can't go back in time. And that's what it would take for it to be like it was.
