Hey everyone!
I don't post much on this great site but I had to tonight.
My wife and the dawgs and I are returning to SW Florida!!!
I'm in IT and I was able to land a greyt job in a city that isn't exactly known for IT positions. And, we were able to sell our home in the St. Louis area in record time. We also got a really nice place down here in the Sarasota/Bradenton area for a steal.
The American dream is still alive!!!

I think my ability to find a good paying job here is a direct result of so many people having to leave Florida during the "Dark Times" of the "Bush Empire".
When a state in our Union loses enough talent because of whatever, the door opens for others...

I just hope the oil spill doesn't spoil the beaches here. That would be a crime.

Well, I've lived in that area for 10 years before I lost my job.
I moved to St. Louis and got got married to a very lovely lady who, against all thoughts, has decided to follow me here. I'm really very lucky.

11. That's a really nice area of Florida ... |

good luck on your new job.
The first summer back may seem hot. It takes a couple of years to adapt.

18. Welcome. Save your hair clippings and roll them up. You might need them. |
|
Congrats on the new job. :toast:
(hair clippings absorb oil, in case someone didn't understand)

20. We left south Florida years ago and I would not go back for any job on earth |
|
The only place I have ever lived that was a worse shithole than south florida was central texas.
