Just loving it

Talk about progressive area
It has always been my believe that people should move to where they love it. Life is too short to do otherwise. JMO of course.

I will if they pay me what I get in Tampa . But I ain't gona surfer just to live here like many do in Florida. I can also go to visit like now--paid by my company.

But really, what a weather was this whole week and I probably walked about 30 minutes without feeling it at all. I see many biking on the side roads. I just realized that I missed such place for some time.....

The light rail was faster than the bus to reach my hotel which is close to the PSU even taking a transfer. Just amazing. Max time was like 5 to 10 minutes I waited before I saw another rail.

Under Florida Law they are not required to refund a penny of that money.

No, just your definition for fairness.

Yes tis true. I am a person who belives in the golden rule, and think above all, respect, honesty and intigrity is the best anyone can offer another human being, and think anyone knowingly takes advantage of another in any area is wrong. yes, I know life is NOT fair- but why should I settle?

I don't think you would have anyone argue with you about wanting things to be "Fair", or wanting just "Fairness" to be had. The problem is when looking at something, what do you say or consider to be "Fair". That's where we might disagree. For all we know we might agree on your definition of fairness at that moment. Just like what does "Rich" mean? I may have a number and you might have a number. I am not beating you up. I just wanted more information at the time.
