Its ok, Im back to gay it up a little.

Here is my wifes cat, it goes by the name snowflake, but I call it devil kitteh or white satin. This cat has the shortest temper of any cat ever, it hates everybody except my wife.



And here is my dog, Sparky, he is a beagle, which makes him the most stubborn dog ever, he wont listen to anyone but me. On this particular day he was helping me clean the garage.

I love animals, almost too much.. I had to stop volunteering at the ASPCA (http://www.peninsulaspca.com/) because I just couldn't take being around all the animals all the time, seeing them need a home and knowing that I couldn't provide one for them.

Bleh, I'm a softy.

He's a lifter, just like his owner.

Seriously, I hope if/when I move to Miami the apt I rent from won't think he's a dog.

Why in heaven's name are you going to Miami?

I hate Miami.. I hate all of that area, well, no I take that back.. Hialeah Gardens, Miami Springs, and Coral Springs are all decent.. but, I don't like how speaking English is a commodity in Miami, and an advertising point to boot.

But, on the feline point.. my parents used to have a cat named Red (Dissy) and he got up to 32 lbs. He was a red tabby, paws about 1.5 inches in diameter. Huge cat.

I just got off the phone with a prospective employer offering to let me live ANYWHERE and shuttle me in for work every week around the country to wherever the company is installing it's crazy technology.

My buddy owns a place in the whitey section of Coconut grove and I hate DC winters. Also, free air travel to different cities, comped hotel, a 35K salary with much room for improvement, free rental cars, a corporate card for expenses and a $100 a day per diem ain't bad!

Whoa! I bet he ruled the house with iron claws! As it is now, my cat eats waaay too much. Twice a day is more than enough for a house cat...

Well, I hope you've visited that area, because the truth of the matter is that it's a little hard to get used to. But, I wish you luck with that.

If these rounds of jobs don't pan out this time, I'm just going to go back to school and further my stupid education.

I'm not quite sure what you mean... Miami is a good place for a drunk like me I think.

Are you a drunk that can speak a form of Spanish and have a particular desire to have vendors sell their wares (normally flowers, drinks, and food) at every intersection you come to?

If so, then Miami is the place for you!

I'm with you on Miami. Definitely not one of my favorite cities. It's easier to get around in South America without knowing Spanish than it is in Miami. Earlier this year, I read that Spanish officially is the predominate language in Miami, with more people who speak Spanish-only, than English.

That, and it's always 110 degrees with 98% humidity there. Absolutely miserable.

Wrong...Hialeah Is Where You'll See That, Don't Think I've Seen It Anywhere Else.

But Srsly The Eatable Things They Sell Are Good And Cheap ~1!Mostly Fruits They Grow And Churros(sp) They Made Make.Most Fruits/Things They Sell, You'll Never Find In A Supermarket...Ever!

Sometime I Just Pass There Hoping The Light Will Turn Red.If It Doesn't, Start Making U-Turns Till It Dose.

Coconut Grove Is A Very Upscale Neighborhood.Few Blocks In Almost Any Other Direction Is .But It's Just A Cool Place to Just Back From Work And Relax.

Edit:

About The Spanish.Coconut Grove's (My Moms Boss Live There, Visited Couple Of Times.) Population Is Mostly Made Up Of Professionals White's And Hispanic's Alike.Becoming A Manager A MacDonald's Without Knowing English Is Very Possible.But Owning/Managing Companies(Most Coconut Grove's Residence) That Not Only Cater To South Florida, But The Rest Of The Country And Other Nations.English Is A Must...

Well, I never really liked Miami, honestly. I guess I didn't like the fact I couldn't speak my own language in my own country. I did however love the food court marina in downtown. That's hot. I got to drive a nice boat when I was there..

It is not always 98% humidity down there, in fact, it's usually alot less than DC is in the summer. Partly why I want to go there and live.

I just had the second phone interview, and It looks like ill be all over the east coast the first week of work if I get hire anyway, so it will be nice to come home to a warm climate during the winter every weekend.

Average humidity of U.S. cities ranked from most humid to least humid, and Miami is above Washington:

so, drunk, naked, pic request, animals....

If there was a donkey-show involved, please leave that stanza out.

I think we need to change the name of this thread to "Animal House".
