It makes sense that if you're a "cat", you're not going to be happy doing the dog thing. I hope you find what you're looking for... writing perhaps? For real American cashola?

I feel I am both, though my inner self secretly wishes were dolphins. Dolphins are smart and they can kick sharks' asses. <BR/><BR/>I love free lunches, too. And dinners, and coffees. I'm pretty much a big mooch if people will let me. But if I have money, I return the favor. <BR/><BR/>Networking is good, Kevin. You'll find your niche soon--it just takes time and patience. And woo! Free lunches! You go, Kevin!<BR/><BR/>:-)amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14474804320816948025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446070095733469795.post-2139702481095676672009-01-12T19:41:00.000-05:002009-01-12T19:41:00.000-05:00Michelle: Thank you!Sarah: You know where you are?...Michelle: Thank you!<BR/><BR/>Sarah: You know where you are?

Visit from you: AWESOME! Glad you liked it!<BR/><BR/>Lee: All creatures are welcome in this jungle o’ mine. I’ll remember my manners when I get hungry, though.<BR/><BR/>Beth: I flirted with house cat, but I really like the symbolism of the jaguar. The Mayans were on to something…<BR/><BR/>Tony: Thank you! I’m glad Heinous gave me the recommendation to drop in on you. Look forward to hearing from you!<BR/><BR/>OAM: The analogy became crystal clear as I heard it. FINALLY!

Perhaps if you shopped naked…and I am not sure what the Chinese Year equivalent is, maybe the Tiger?<BR/><BR/>MoMo: I…But…uh…forgot what I was going to say.
