Moving to FLA!

I finally may be as close as I have ever been of getting the hell out of this burg with its cold and snow s**ttyness. I was having one of the worst days of my life last wednesday, sick of my job and where I live when I found out about a job opportunity in Jacksonville, FL. Making the same money I am right now with bennies and all. Anyone that knows me knows how much Ive wanted to move to the sunshine state for a very long time. My skunks are legal there and its where Ive wanted to try living for a while. The cost of living is a lot cheaper and after 6 months you can go to school on the states dime. So near the end of this year or beginning of next I will be GONE. I cant wait.

Thats great1 Congrats. FL eh? Don't blow away. Cost of loving is so cheap cuz your home gets swept away in a hurricane every 2 years. But that's very cool. Good luck with that. I always wanted a pet skunk.

Yea Ive only been looking at brick or concrete block houses for that reason. Besides Jax doesnt get hit that often. I cant wait to be able to bring my skunks anywhere, thats gonna rule. Most of all NO MORE COLD!!!! Cold makes me want to stab my eyes out.

Sounds like a plan. Just don't forget all the little people up here freezing our asses off while you're lounging around in the sun!

Congratulations buddy, moving to the ole sunshine state. Just wanted to let you know that the average temperature is around 70 degrees annually in J-ville. But be prepared for mid 50's in Dec-Feb so don't throw away all your sweaters. Great job on the relocation, and that the skunks can come too!! Oh and you were right not too many hurricanes in J-ville either. You will have to make it to Lauderdale and we could party...

Im looking at 3 br houses, everyones invited! There is no way in hell I will ever miss a snow drift no matter the size. 50 degrees in the winter, thats still windows-down driving! I can definatly make it to ft lauderdale, the best thing about the job Im getting is as long as I put in 40 hours a week thats all that matters, so its 4 10 hour days for me and 3 off. I cant wait.

I hope it works out for you, we'll miss you. Who knows I may get stationed in FL. Then I could share all the nations secrets with you or go jumping out of airplanes, I'll see if they make skunk-jumping equipment.

I would LOVE for you to get put in FL...OMG that would ROCK! But instead you'll probably end up in Alaska or some God forsaken place like that.

Hey guess what. You're still in CT, and Ellis, you're stationed in Maryland.
