I agree! Snake handling and drinking don't mix. I really enjoy watching the musical entertainers. On another note, sorry to hear about the cut in your hours LVD. That is harsh. Hope something comes along soon to better your financial picture.

I take it you do not really care for snakes?

Thanks, but it really is not that bad. I now have to only work 3 days and have 4 days off including the whole weekend. I am really only short about $100 a month of paying my bills. With the amount of savings I built up I can last for many many years even with the part time hours. The good is I have so much time off (which I needed). The bad is I no longer can gamble and party as I do not have the money for it.

I must say...Aqua's girl has quite the talent...and one that may make Aqua a very happy man.

When it comes to love and choosing a mate...who's to judge? You have two adults who feel an attraction for each other...and we are all just outsiders to that attraction. I say live and let live when it comes to love and marriage.

Again, congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Aqualung!

A few weeks ago in front of Planet Hollywood there were two people who were getting tourists to take pictures with a real marmoset monkey. I felt so bad for the little guy, all those drunk people crowding around him, he looked sad and was making squealing noises, not as if he was in pain or anything, he was just really sad looking, poor little monkey

Even worse his owners didnt look fit to care for such a delicate creature, they looked like a couple of drug addicts who live in a sh*tty apartment on Sierra Vista

I wish Aqua and his girl the best of luck. Beard or not, if Aqua loves her, and if they're both happy, than we should all be happy that 2 people found love in this crazy world of ours

This is why I dont post too much about my own personal life anymore on this thread. If anything good happens I'll share it, if I'm feeling negative I'll vent in another way and simply wont disclose it anymore. I like all you guys and I dont want to alienate anybody here. I hope Im not on anybody's ignore list

LVD you really are a good guy but you need to but down the bottle (or cans if you're still hitting those four lokos) At all of our urgings for you to get help, you claim you do, and than after awhile you go right back to drinking again. You got your hours cut pretty bad, that sucks they did that to you after 5 (right?) years of working for that company, have you considered a 2nd job? You could even buy a costume or do something to earn some tips on the strip. I bet if you did that often enough, you'd make more money that if you were still full time at your security job

You dont seem to want to better yourself. You seem to be satisfied (whether you;ll admit or not) with your crummy ho-hum lifestyle, and dont want to have to better yourself in anyway. Are you still going to move back to Phoenix?

Granted, I can be pretty negative myself sometimes BUT...
I do want to better myself, if I want something bad enough I WILL make it happen. You should too LVD, if you want to improve your life THAT badly, MAKE it happen. In spite of my many ups and downs LVD I've gotten pretty much damn near everything I wanted and dreamed of when I moved out here, my place in CH, my good job on the strip, a brand new plasma TV, and its going to continue to get better for me. Sorry if I sound like I am bragging but thats the gods honest truth

You know Davie, I have everything I want now too. I just have much lower standards than most people. I have an awesome television, computer, Blu ray, digital cable, etc to keep me entertained. The only thing I can think of that I would like to have better would be a nicer apartment and nicer car, but I have no desire to work harder to get either. It just is not important to me. Believe it or not, I am actually happy about having my hours cut. The cut was Saturday and Sunday. I no longer have to drive in the heat on the swing shift. I now only only work graveyards Monday thru Wednesday from now on. Yeah, I am going to have to sit in the apartment for 4 days a week but oh well. I did well all these years putting away a little nest egg so it is time for me to take some time off.

Edit: Regarding Phoenix. I am going to stay here for now.
