  • 10tacle: My husband has his MBA. When he graduated in 2006, despite his degree and business experience, he couldn't get a job. He has since joined the Navy and earned a 2nd Master's in Health Admin. Point being, jobs aren't so easy to come by just because you have a certain Master's Degree.

• Urine doesn't ease jellyfish stings, after all

  • Preparation H works too; we keep it in our beach bag. It's what the lifeguard put on my son after he was stung(but not before we tried the urine first!)

• Rick Scott wins in Fla.; LePage wins in Maine

  • Totally agree. I voted against him, but too many Floridians see that (R) next to his name and check the box without knowing the full story of Rick Scott. I, too, was unfortunate enough to work for a hospital under his "leadership" and knew that the state of FL deserved better.

• Florida's GOP launches new attack on Crist

  • Quick question here: How many of you are from FLorida?  How many of you have been represented by Crist? How many of you are just bashing him because he was a Republican who(insert gasp and mouth dropping open here) acted in a bipartisan manner?

• For Gulf tourism, problem is perception — not oil

  Sun Aug 22, 2010
  • You are wrong to say that the Florida coast was not hit by oil. I live off Pensacola Beach, where tar balls and tar patties have been washing ashore since July and oil is intermixed in the sand. I have pictures if you need proof.

• For Gulf tourism, problem is perception — not oil

  • I would beg to differ with your analogy. I live on Pensacola Beach; we were there this morning and there were still "tar patties" floating ashore and oil present when you dig in the sand. Just because the oil isn't flowing anymore, it doesn't mean that it is gone.
