Hi again, BlondeAmbition007!
...whoops...slipped on the enter key.... thanks again for the info... the first $56,000 I get in book royalties, I'll invest on construction speculation, occupy for awhile, if I like it I'll stay... and /or if I want to go elsewhere, I'll sell...

I'm sure you can get quite inspired over here! I would love to see some of your artistic expressions from your experience here

Studios very in price depending on location, but average would around 100,000-120,000USD. That is property that is complete and available for living....you can get better deals on pre-construction starting out around 56,000USD.
Yes, they do have employment agencies for all sorts of work over here. Americans and Europeans can make a pretty penny and it is tax free......up to 80,000 reportable.
Sorry, don't need an artist yet!....but if I did, you would be the first person on my list
Flights are pretty reasonable over here....economy class starts out at 1,200round trip.

Hi again lustorlove!
..you're right... I'm the one who had to learn the hard way by letting myself get out of shape... and I've had to painfully pay for it for the first couple months... but Im back in form now and can still pull a twelve hour shift...

Hi cpklapper!
...good point! I suppose it would be the traveling CEO who's looking for cheap tea... and thus take away some of Lipton's market share... don't know about Britney, I suppose things can be a bit stressful in the celeb world... we all flip a bit.. now and then.. and again...

but you don't have to sit around and get old, I am retiring because I am tired of the hassle of work. My parents did a lot of traveling and never were bored.

Hi BlondeAmbition007!
Thank you! ..you gave me the answer I was fishing for... I totally agree about the World Banks... and they can make or break a country... all they have to do is call in the debt.. and ours is way over limit and over due... How much are studio apartments in Dubai? ...do they have temp agencies for expatriate Americans there? Are you hiring eccentric artists?

Hi Troosha!
Thank you for the additional data! ...so, I'm another 29 grand in debt! ...maybe I can get increase in my line of credit... better yet, let's start a grass roots movement ...an avalanche of emails and paper mail to Congressmen and Representatives demanding returning to our former bankruptcy laws of the 90's... we all need a break... with bankruptcy and debt relief... laws for people, and not just for Corporations and fat cats like Don Trump... whatever you bought with your credit card last year, you've already paid for it by now, and now you're paying off the loan shark interest rates... power to the people! ...are we ready for a strong indepedent 3rd party with intellegent leadership that is committed to doing what's best for the people and not just rich speacial intrests? ...are you tired of voting for the less of two evils (of which you don't know for all the B.S. until after the idiot is elected)!

Hi again lustorlove!
...that's always nice.. everything seems so much better after they leave... after 18 mos of sitting on my butt... Like you will be doing.. I'll probabaly do temp work as I need it, until I check out for the next dimension... the sitting around is what kills people... I think now we were designed to live and work until we drop (perhaps over a 100 years)... it's the retiring and vegitating that kills people early like in their 60's-70's..

But the price of tea in China?
Who is keeping tabs on that? Certainly not Britney who now has as much on her head as in it.

I wouldn't say "all of the secret money", but yes, this is a safe place for that. I think a lot of people waste their energy on fighting one another in the States and also like to play the political blame game....Rep vs. Democrat......it is so much on a larger scale than that.....all of these politicians are part of the chess game on a grander global scale......the world banks are where all of the real power is.

Another reality:
The Outstanding U.S. Public Debt as of 18 Feb 2007 at 10:51:03 PM GMT is:
The estimated population of the United States is 300,992,799
so each citizen's share of this debt is $29,049.73.
Thanks for shaking us up a bit....everyone needs a good shake. Who need Arabian oil when there are so many alternatives staring us in the face.

well the asshole of a boss is gone now and if I can survive the nonsense for the next 22 months and I keep to my savings plan I should be ok. And then I will take on part time jobs until I cant stand any longer.

Hi BlondeAmbition007!
...they would have to buy up all the quartz crystals, and herbal remedies (what I'm currently using to fight off this season flu viruses), and hire indigenous native shamen... and if it's profitable, they will! ...more and more I'm interested in you neck of the woods, Dubai... I've noticed that it's sort of the Swiss Bank of the Middle East... nobody bombs it because that's where all the secret money is stashed... I'm I wrong?

I won't talk to much about the hidden conspiracy with the cure for cancer then.....can't do that!......then what would all of the corporations and pharmaceutical companies who make billions on cancer treatment programs and meds do???
This is another reason that I like to stay involved in areas that I don't get caught up in all of that Hoopla B.S......there are other places in the world that actually print and discuss News worthy events.....but, I don't care if I moved to Timbuktu.....I'm sure they are even talking about Anna Nicole!.....craziness......pure craziness.......

haven't seen Britney yet, but she must be making a statement of some kind, but everything with corporation in the good ole USA is about greed, and you and I have one of those in common.
