Re: Life changing decisions

Well....quite possibly the biggest decision of my life is upon me. I've been with my current company for 8 full years and I've never lived away from the city where I was borned, raised, and still reside. Which has been fine for me, I'm not a big city person (a decent sized city is ok, but a bigger ...

I wouldn't have a desk job. I'd be a salesman/on-site tech support for a reseller of a billion dollar software company. So I'd always be on the road or with clients.

i could never ever leave my pets to a almost certain and horrible death! how cruel! At least turn them loose if that's your only alternative. leaving them in a crate for that long its very inhumane!.

but comparing protests against the Brits under those circumstances isn't exactly the same thing what's going on now....It's all relative though....they may have been more violent back then...but so was everything else...that's the way life was...rough. Today, life is far from "rough" and d...

Now I have a new mission when I move to FL. I'm lucky, my cat travels well, and I'll always have a place in A...
