		<description>&lt;B&gt;AmyD&lt;/B&gt;: Ooooooh, sweetie, that&#039;s one of the nicest things that I&#039;ve heard in a long time. :) I hope you&#039;re right. :)

&lt;B&gt;AWE&lt;/B&gt;: You&#039;re coming to New York for a visit?!?!?! :)</description>

		<description>Still pulling for you girl. Maybe you should check into modeling underwear.

Don&#039;t take it out on the tourists, I could be one of them soon.</description>

		<description>Hahahaa!  OK, so sorry you are having a tough time and had a bad day, but this visual was priceless.  Taught them there tourists a thing or two about what it&#039;s like to REALLY live in the big city!  ;o)

Hang in there - your hard work will pay off.  My belief is that you haven&#039;t gotten a job yet (or a man, for this matter) because there is one out there that is just perfect for you, and if you settled for something less, that would be a shame.  So don&#039;t settle.  Please.  You are worth way too much for that.</description>

		<description>&lt;B&gt;Pegs&lt;/B&gt;: I certainly hope you&#039;re right! :) ... And, yeah, I *remember* the Woes of Michigan Avenue. ESPECIALY that area right by Borders and The Hancock, just below Oak Street. Oh, yeah, and that strip just above Jackson by &lt;B&gt;Field&#039;s&lt;/B&gt;. Tourists. They&#039;re everwhere.

&lt;B&gt;lala&lt;/B&gt;: I&#039;ll try this out tonight. I know a place that has REALLY GOOD $3.00 margaritas during Happy Hour.

&lt;B&gt;Howard&lt;/B&gt;: &lt;I&gt;&quot;Home Is Where The Heart Is&quot;&lt;/I&gt;. My heart is in New York, so this could be a good thing. It could have been worse, your iTunes could have played &lt;I&gt;&quot;My Kind of Town (Chicago).&quot;&lt;/I&gt;

&lt;B&gt;Anita&lt;/B&gt;: Yeah, I don&#039;t think I&#039;m at the &lt;I&gt;anger management&lt;/I&gt; stage just yet ... but, give me a month and I might be singing another tune. When I moved back to Chicago years ago, it took me 6 months to find a job. The good news is that it was the best gig that I&#039;d ever had. I stayed there for years. So, maybe a really good job is on my horizon ...

&lt;B&gt;Carlos&lt;/B&gt;: 100% travel??? I can&#039;t do it. I once had a job that was something like 50 - 85% travel and it almost killed me. At any rate, you, Sid, and I should definitely touch base when you&#039;re in town. Monday works best for me.

&lt;B&gt;Mitch&lt;/B&gt;: I know, I feel like my luck has to change eventually. Supposedly perseverance always pays off, right?

&lt;B&gt;The Original Bro&lt;/B&gt;: Phobia = Fear. I&#039;m not &lt;I&gt;fat phobic&lt;/I&gt; because I&#039;m not *afraid* of  fat people. When I see mice on the streets of NYC, I let out a huge scream and I run for my life. That&#039;s phobia. By comparison, when I see a fat man, I don&#039;t scream and I don&#039;t run. See??? I fear the fat man not. I even looked phobia up in the dictionary: &lt;I&gt;&quot;PHOBIA: (1) A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous. (2) A strong fear, dislike, or aversion.&quot;&lt;/I&gt;

&lt;B&gt;Firefly&lt;/B&gt;: I&#039;m sooooo watching that game!!!! I wanted to watch it at &lt;I&gt;Zum Schneider&lt;/I&gt; with the Germans (I&#039;m supporting Argentina), but the tickets were all sold out.

&lt;B&gt;Kelly&lt;/B&gt;: Orlando?!?! That&#039;s like Tourist Hell.

&lt;B&gt;Raymond&lt;/B&gt;: I&#039;m trying. Thanks for the support.

&lt;B&gt;Darwin&lt;/B&gt;: I was once a tourist in Bath. Beautiful city! But, you say &quot;buth&quot;, we say &quot;baaaaahth&quot;. You say &quot;pram&quot;, we say &quot;stroller&quot;. Buth, baaaahth, pram, stroller ... let&#039;s call the whole thing off! :)

&lt;B&gt;Mel Chickk&lt;/B&gt;: I hope so!!! I keep hanging on. Each week, I wake up on Monday and I say, &quot;Yay!!! THIS is the week that I&#039;ll find a job!&quot; The optimism really worked for a while. Now that I&#039;m somewhere between week 15 - 20, my patience is wearing thin and my spirits are starting to dip ...

&lt;B&gt;JohnJEnright&lt;/B&gt;: I went to visit earlier this year. And, you&#039;re right, it did seem quiter. It&#039;s true what they say about, &quot;you can never &lt;I&gt;return&lt;/I&gt; home&quot;. You can return to where you once were, but it won&#039;t be a home anymore.

&lt;B&gt;Mel Chickk&lt;/B&gt;: That&#039;s too cute!!! I&#039;ll add that one to my Bloglines too. 

&lt;B&gt;Papigiulio&lt;/B&gt;: Yeah, tourists (and tour guides) suck. And, by the way, I&#039;m sure you were joking about the &quot;time of the month&quot; comment. For the record, never ask a woman near you that or else she might bitch slap you to the high heavens ... :)</description>

		<description>Stolie, that was a perfect response to the situation.  What&#039;s more, it proves you are acculturating properly.  You can now pass as a native New Yorker!

Chicago will now seem relaxing and slow-paced to you when you visit.</description>

Your job is out there. It will find you eventually!</description>

		<description>Got plenty of clueless tourists here in Bath too. The worst part is some of these dim-wits actually bring &lt;I&gt;prams&lt;/I&gt; with them. Big huge double prams with snotty whiny little brats that have feet long enough to touch the ground so the lazy shits can walk but they seem to prefer to block the whole sidewalk...Grrr!

ps: Sorry about the blues, chin up! It &lt;I&gt;has&lt;/I&gt; to get better soon right?!</description>
