TwinkelenS t a r Aw, thanks!
I'm actually applying for a job working with Joel Slaven, who used to be Jack Hanna's business partner! Most, if not all, the animals you see in Jack Hanna's TV appearances come from Joel Slaven. He's stationed here in Florida and is approximately 40 minutes away from my house.
I've tried to get my husband to come out and volunteer with me, but it's really not his thing. He is an engineer and would rather play with his electronics. haha
My wife would literally slaughter me if I worked your job and did not invite her to join in. Still, i can relate to your husband . . . outside is not really my thing. I blame my upbringing. Dad was a computer nerd, so when kids learned to work on cars or play sports we did a Commodore 64. That, combined with growing up in Southern Texas meant it was hot as ballz out. I remember telling my wife before we met in person that I didn't go out if the sun was up. She thought that was crazy . . . till she joined me. Then we avoided going out if the sun was up.
Yeah, we met on the net before it was cool to do so.

I used to not do a lot of outdoorsy things, but I'm all for it now. I understand unbearable heat though. My fair Irish skin can't take the Florida sun. I'm a pasty thing, and when I do go outside I burn. My husband tans really well though, it's really quite annoying as well as strange. He is Dutch and they are pretty much all really pale so I don't know why he and his family tan so easily. My father-in-law is always making comments about how pale I am and how I need to go outside more often.
How long have you and your wife been married?

Yeah, we were together for something like 9 or 10 years before we wed . . . she claims it was "so I had ample chance to run away" but after we were together about a year and she told me she was pregnant I was not about to ever run away from my kids. I do love her . . . but there are some fundamental differences that make me wanna strangle her.

Aww, I'm sorry Tana. Do you live close to your daughter, or did your former wife take her out of town/state?
Alex- Haha I think every relationship has those moments where you want to strangle the other person. n_n
So how old is everyone? I get the feeling a few of you may be older than me. [I'm 24 by the way]

massive hugs for my dear old friend. I wish there was something I could do to help you. crying
Twink - we had a friend a while back that handed out nicknames. We had names like Goosey, Pancake, and the like. Me? I was "Hen no ecchi ojiisan." I am told that such translates to "Perverted old man of wierdness." Yes, i embraced that with pride.
For the record, I am 34years of age.

Thank you, Captain Big Bro Talon. ;3 *hugs back* Occasionally posting here on Gaia again can be pretty therapeutic.
Well, she was born back when her mother and I were living in Italy. I was born and raised there, and when everything fell apart her mother came to the States. When I cleaned up I followed them, and as I normally do (I am someone who cannot stay in one place for a long time - I get really antsy) I eventually moved to where I am now. So in the recent years it's been a city not too far off from Roma then Maryland, and now Washington state. My daughter and her mother live in Maryland still. I do get to talk to her every night before she goes to bed. So it's not all bad.
I'm 31, 32 later this year.

I'm all for giving an old friend a nice big hug. Any time you need to talk for any reason, just give me a buzz. Hell, if things worked out that way, I wouldn't mind taking you out for a burger or something. Just to say I did it. 3nodding

Heh. You guys are not the oldest friends I have then.
Oh, I'm going to hate this semester..... I have mandatory philosophy-based classes and dkjfdskfsldkjfsdfkjsdf. I don't do philosophy. It makes my head hurt and then I'm upset because I'm the only one in class who can't follow along because I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S BEING SAID. And then, the worst part is,I have no idea if I'm right or not or what kind of answer the professor is looking for because it's not like science or math where there's right answers.
PHILOSOPHY
WHAT THE ******** AM I SUPPOSED TO BE DOING?

I don't think I would do well in philosophy. Not only is it essentially useless in society and employment, but it also is far more esoteric than my logical mind prefers to be.

Alpha Trion - Liam Neeson
