Just wondering if there were any other IC in the Tampa/Brandon area, and do you think line rates are cheap around here?? 

I have been here for 15 years and still love to drive over the causeway into Tampa it is just so neat having the water all around!  I will say that things are more affordable in Tampa but the county taxes are high because you are paying for the Bucs and for many social programs as there is a price to pay to fix a city and make it a place anyone would want to live.  Pinellas County (over the Bay and more beach like) is a bit pricier, but there are still affordable places to live.  SW Pasco county is also affordable and taxes are lower but so are services.  It all depends on what you want/need.  Jobs are available.  Many hospitals still have inhouse and there are services always looking for good help.  I love it here and there is a substantial community of MTs if you need a shoulder to cry/grouse on!! 

We have had more storms the past few years than we know what to do with!  You can buy all the canned stuff you want, but if your house is gone what good is it??

Just wondering if there is anyone in my area that would be interested in doing my IC accounts while I am on vacation 3/18/06-3/25/06.

Let me know if anyone is interested

I would love to know - I have a question.

thanks!

Florida and especially TAMPA is up and coming - they cleaned up that city (which was a mess 30 years ago) and it's booming and affordable!!  That's just my opinion.  Also the beaches there are far nicer than the east coast of Florida, again, just my opinion.  I hope you find Florida as wonderful as I do but it took me 5 years to really start loving it once I got here.  Best of luck, really!!!

in the Independence, MO area.  The city governments have passed laws banning pit bulls and last week something like 100+ pitbulls were picked up by animal control or dropped off at the city pound and all were destroyed.

Personally, I think the owners of these animals should be held just as accountable as the dog.  Well, I guess maybe putting the owner to sleep is a bit extreme.

I'm so sorry about your lab.

I can really relate to your situation and wanted to tell you this story. 

I live at the base of a mountain.  There is an RV place out here and every winter the hunters camp and .....leave aggrevation everywhere (garbage).

Yesterday i drove the 15 miles to town to the post office where they know everyone by name.  I was packaging my book to mail and was listening to this conversation:  A gentleman handed a change of address form to the Postmaster. He says," You just moved in that new house on the hill last fall.  Is everything okay"? 

Naturally everyone looks that direction.  The gentleman says " We don't like that housing developement on the hill.  There is way too much snow".

Continuing with his story:  My wife had the kids were in the SUV and the road was covered with snow and ice. (duh, it is all winter long).  She had to stop because of the herd of Elk standing on the hill in the middle of the road.  She slid back down the hill and wouldn't drive up again until I came home from work".

So i have asked my husband for a snow maker!!!!!! Maybe they will all move back to the city.  At the base of this hill, a herd of Elk always graze in the field.  There have been many occassions i drive the grandkids that direction to watch.  The 3-year-old asks to me take him to see the funny cows.

So if anyone has a spare Snowmaker please send it to me.....I would love to drive the rest of the city folk out of there!!  

you are working in?  I live in TN and all of the jobs I have seen advertised pay under $13 per hour.  I had no idea the hospitals here pay that much.

I was first told no and now have been told that yes I do.  So check with your city and they will let you know.  You are running a business just as any building contractor, consultant, painter, plumber, etc. and so they are making us do this more and more.  You usually pay a percentage of your earnings.  But since we have no foot traffic I did not have to get the approval of my neigbors for the business.    This is in Portland, OR.
