So this past week I was almost on my way to Miami. My friend Dave has a contract with some states regarding disaster services, especially those that affect animals and wildlife in the affected areas. Well apparently the oil spill in the Gulf is leaking into the ocean and ending up in the Florida Keys and in Miami. I would actually love to go, it’s good money, I’d be helping out with something that is huge, and it’s Miami, who wouldn’t want to be in Miami? Well unfortunately the trip was cancelled due to three potential hurricanes coming in, otherwise I would have been on my way down there yesterday and arriving today. I may still be going down, but right now it is up in the air as to when or if I will. Oh well now it gives me time to get the drug testing done.
In other Florida news (still going to Disney in September), we did some shopping for the trip. We now are the owners of a five piece luggage set that we picked up from Walmart. If I can earn more than enough money for the trip I may invest in a new iPod for the trip, but as it stands right now in August we will most likely upgrade our phones to Blackberries, so hopefully that will be able to hold enough music for the long train ride down to Disney.
I hope they plug that stupid gusher soon. What a big frickin mess down there. A bunch of nit wits.
Yea, they need to get some plumbers down there to stop the leak, not scientists.
I hope that you get to go down to Miami and help out. Cleaning places up is something I always secretly wanted to be a part of but never actually got around to doing it. I think I would have to do it on my own because no one else I know is interested in that kind of stuff.
Sadly, they’re not mine. My friend says that she will give them to her neighbors’ uncle who has an egg farm.
I think it’s because of me constantly returning comments that I end up having conversations. And it’s also because I sometimes comment on random blogs when browsing.
Hopefully you’ll be able to help out with the spill. I’ve heard that people have invented machines that will separate the oil from the water, but I don’t know how long it’s going to take.
I was considering going down South to help clean up the animals if I don’t end up getting a teaching job for the upcoming school year. My boyfriend is from Louisiana and he’s so upset about all of the havoc they have endured for the past few years and really wants to try to do something to help. Hopefully you’ll be able to go down once the weather clears up.
And yay for luggage! I always love finding bargains at Walmart. They have some great stuff for cheap!
I don’t know how much help I’d be, just mainly going for office work when/if I go, but the guy wants to have a working system in place by Monday for better tracking of people.
Thanks. I’ll do a site review for you, if you want.
Actually I was talking about you posting reviews here, in the reviews section.
Hope you can get to Florida soon and that the 3 hurricanes will passed Florida as soon as possible.
My boyfriend thinks that it might have been because I was scratching them that they got so big. :/ I agree that that could be a possibility, because I also had a hugely swollen one on my knee, but it went down after I stopped scratching it. Then again, it had been a couple days and the other one had gone down around that time, too.

Who wouldn’t want to be in Miami? *raises hand* Too hot and probably too humid. I’m not built for that weather; I hate humidity and summer is usually way too hot. I’m used to the rain and general cold that we get here 3/4 of the year. 😛
Wow, three hurricanes? And the oil is traveling even farther? I really want this oil disaster to end. It’s horrible. 🙁
That’s awesome that you might be headed down to help out with the oil spill in Miami! Its a lot better than those people who want to DRIVE down to “see” the oil spill. I recently got in an argument with a woman about how she doesn’t realize how hypocritical and ironic it is that she wants to drive down to the gulf and see the oil spill to ‘educate’ herself. =/
I’m debating on whether I want a blackberry or an iphone. I mean, to me an iphone looks realllly pretty haha. But I actually would want my phone to work as a phone too. Choices!
The oil spill make me insanely depressed.
