So, for all the nobhead Brit ex-pat rich kids that took the Michael, I think you should mail this girl and give her some advice and encouragement. You may have turned her off America. People come here for help and advice. Some of you treat it like a gentleman's club for the elite. It is getting old and is useless if you cant be constructive.
All of you have good advice and experience to share. We were all newbies (I still am) once. So think twice and stop being dicks.
Thank you and goodnight
(PS - I am gettin gflamed for this aint I ha ha)
Be nice folks

some people here obviously are on the forum as they are having a rotten time here and others can help and identify with it. So they are giving advice as how they see it.I actually like it here so if someone has decided they are coming here and are excited I tend to join in with them believing there is a season for everything (cry with those that cry, laugh with those that laugh (I'm getting too philosophical
).My point is they will probably be disillusioned on their own quickly enough and they don't need my help in discovering that.
So if you feel others are too negative etc just try and counterbalance it with your thoughts
But everyone has a point and I'm glad we are such a weird mixture as it makes it fun here and another different viewpoint is always good.

Now be a good guy and put your avatar back the way it was, Thank you!
Pourquoi mon chere? Tu not like les MG's?
Par ce que Tu likes le Monsieur L'agent qui s'appelle Judge Dredd a bit more?
Or perhaps you noticed the very quick change to an early Sean Connery before the new one????
Its so cool to be tri lingual.

It was a flash in the pan
Not sure if I like the new one yet.
Love the cars though.

Dredd's face was allways so freakin mean looking.
I went bananas when Stallone made that movie. The best part was the opening credits.

You're welcome.
Agreed, a diabolical choice.

Re: Has anyone made the move on their own?
Hi Seab. I came on my own in 1979 to Chicago tho' I did have a job with a British Co. They sent out 5 unmarried guys and gave us a 10 state territory each. Huge and we were on the road the whole time. Luckily , I met my wife about 9 months later and we were married in 1981. We moved to Atlanta. She had a teaching job and I started my own repping business in just 4 states incl Florida.We're still married, 2 kids in college and have done steadily better with each passing year. Re Orlando - there are very nice areas surrounding it. Winter Park,Deland and others. It is a tourist mecca but does support a vibrant economy in other ways too. If you're coming alone - rent an apartment, get a roommate to share expenses ( lots of apt complexes have roommate finding programs. I'm now a Realtor and have access to lots of info. <<snip -PM for info>>
