This song by Vanessa Carlton was in the movie White Chicks, LOL. It was hilarious. Watch the movie if you ever get the chance.

Shut them off already. Can't you hear the clicking noise!
What kind of miles? Highway or city miles?....
DH says the kind of miles makes a difference. Based on wear and tear I guess. The average person drives about 12K miles a year.
I don't need a DVD player and the price works for me, so I would buy the 2006. JMO.
Excellent advice Vanessa.
It's hard to ignore more than one accusation like that. If it were one isolated, possibly misinterpreted incident, that would be different. Vanessa is right. Only you know your sisters and your husband well enough.

I'd rather die a thousand deaths.

Gosh, Heather Mills says she needs 20 thousand a day to get by
from Sir Paul and here I was thinking, gosh if I could only win that $1000.00 a week for life from the lottery.. Guess it takes more to live in England.
Thanks everyone, the thousand dollar post before made me feel CHEAP!
I will go with the gas card and some cash, good ideas. I think I got 10 bucks and told I had to start to pay more "board". Times are changing. I don't remember last time we gabbed about this subject but the gifts were way up there for high school. These sound more like what I can afford.
According to ask.com I'm 66 miles
from Lewisburg. I'm in MT Union PA. It's a little town located just east of Lewistown and west of Huntingdon (smack in the middle). Small the world, huh?
Lewisburg is an easy drive for me. Would you please email me the name of the surgeon?
-- 20 miles to get there!

How much did you walk? Every day? How many miles - sm
I have 60-80 to lose (80 pound weight loss being my HS/college weight) and cannot exercise right now except for walking (hurt my arm/shoulder). Since I cannot go to Curves right now until my shoulder is diagnosed and healed (will know the verdict Friday) I plan on getting into a walking plan right now since the weather has finally turned beautiful and am going to try to walk off at least 20 pounds before my OB/GYN appt in 5 weeks. Since you had so much success in 6 weeks of walking, I'd love to know the how much and how often you walked. TIA.
Got you beat by miles! $3.23 in CA (sm)
and $86 to fill up our Expedition. Which is why we mostly keep it parked in the garage nowadays. Bought in back in 1999 before all this gas price gouging hooey.
Mine is 12 yrs old and has 240,000 miles and still going!
Gotta love no payments! LOL
No, but they live 100 miles away.....sm
so we always know when they are coming. My BIL is rallying really hard to get them to move to where we live though so he does not have to deal with them anymore (he is the favored child of their 2 sons so to me it is the price he has to pay). We used to live about 20 minutes from them but even then they did not just drop by though they did have keys to the house. We moved 2 hours away just before my first daughter was born (yeah!), had we stayed I know we would have had some issues. They told me a few months after Jess was born that had we stayed they would have been over every day, I told them I would have changed the locks and not answered the door. (I was not kidding). So I would (1) keep your doors locked, you should anyway (2) if they have keys either get them back or change one lock, add deadbolt, whatever so when it is locked they cannot get in with the other key. Simply way of keeping them out, and if they try to visit them, just say no, you cannot come in right now as it is not a good time and to call next time and shut the door. Maybe they will get the message then. Good luck.
it's about 2 miles from the beach
here on the West Coast of Michigan in Muskegon. Bought the house from a man who was a nut and who had bought it in foreclosure for 17K. Huge yard, 100 x 100 feet, all fenced. Two bedrooms, one bath, just over 800 square feet (pretty small). All new siding, all new triple-pane windows, new furnace, new fridge, new hot water heater, new stove (found the receipt, $1700 for the set), and a totally re-done kitchen. It's in the inner city, I call it my "little house in the hood." Taxes are about $900 a year. The only repairs we needed to make were to the plumbing, of which there was none, and I mean none. So, my nephew and I spent just over $200 and learned how to plumb -- all connected and flowing, PVC is my new best friend.
There's tons of houses even cheaper than this here, just not the best neighborhoods, but you can houses anywhere from 2 to 5 to 20 grand as fixer-uppers. I take my child to school of choice out of district, cuz I wanted him to go to school where I went; it's only a 5-mile drive. Gotta love it, good enough for now.
my dad swore by every 3000 miles. (nm)

Mine is changed every 12,000 miles but
i do not use the regular oil that other cars use
yep and for all Toyotas, do it q.3000 miles
We recently moved 200 miles away and
joined a church after being away from the church for several years. There are so many activities for couples and singles, or both, and not just church/religion related. We have dinners, baseball games, hayrides, dances, etc. and have made several friends in the few months we have been here. We get out more now than ever before. I don't know how old you are, and though I hate to admit it, we joined the seniors center also (you only have to be 50). They do all sorts of things - day trips, 1 and 2 week trips, dinners, plays, game nights, music... I just never thought I would be joining an old folks place, but it's fun and a lot of them are in the 50-60 range. Lots of singles and couples.
20 miles is not far, 1/2 hour drive
if you can stay in his town, for now, and if it's better for the kids, and your first grader is comfortable with people working with him, and it's cheaper, maybe you can go visit your family regularly. A half hour is not far; people drive farther than that one way to work day.
also, it sounds like you agree there was nothing ever in common, it's okay, at least he is caring, and you can remain friends, and he is a good father. It's okay; you'll probably be happier in your own place.
Maybe the Miles Kimball catalog?? Been a while since

NW Minnesota, about 75 miles NE of Fargo, ND -- sm
I'm actually closer to Canada (and Winnipeg) than I am to the Twin Cities (at least by a few miles), and it's a town of about 1100 on an Indian reservation (we have more slot machines than residents). :-)
Georgia, 30 miles south of Atlanta
lots do here, just where you live I suppose. I for 1 am glad to take hubs last name, no problem with that for me.
We have 5 acres in a remote county about 12 miles - sm
away. My DH has been wanting to sell but I want to hold on to it. It has already doubled in value in the 5 years we have had it and as the sprawl comes towards us it will get more and more valuable. Plus it is river view land (5 acres), 4 acres cleared and flat and nicely sloped too. If we don't build in the next 10 years we will probably sell it later, figure maybe college money if we don't have enough set aside (we should) but it is nice to know it is there and we can cash it in if needed.
And TV or radio dont mention fog 2 miles away?

To hike 150 miles to the Appalachian Trail
I love to backpack, but I haven't had time to do a nice long trip. I've gotten a lot of obligations off my plate this year, and will have time to go into the woods again. I already have a 70-mile trip planned for spring.
When I die and my survivors put up photos of me around the funeral home, I want most of them to be my smiling face as I stand on a trail with beautiful scenery behind me. :)
I totally agree, my Chevy Suburban has 213,000 miles on it - sm
and going strong. Though they are a lot cheaper used now, friends got theirs for about $14K, we paid $26K, ours was 2 years old when we bought it in 1999, their's was about 5 years old in 2005. Granted we could save some on gas, and my DH is constantly trying to get me to get a new car to save money on gas. But I see little point in spending $30K so I can save $50 a month on gas. I plan on running my Suburban into the ground and then picking up a smaller used SUV or a wagon of some sort (Honda, Toyota). But I still have 2-3 years before that happens with any luck.
Corpus Christi Texas - 150 miles of beach...
sand is very hard though....LOL - and since I was there, I heard they built up that city. I was there in the 70s but I remember what a GREAT time we had (a bunch of us) and how laid back it was.....bring lots of sunscreen/block as it's subtropical sun there as is S. Florida.....and for west coast of Florida, Naples, Fort Myers, Sarasota, Tampa, Clearwater
My round trip commute is 30 miles. I ride the bus every day.....
It is free to employees of the hospital I work for.
She's over 100 miles from stations, she prob does need rooftop antenna sm
With digital TV, it's an all or nothing thing. If the signal is not good enough, you will not get anything, but if you have even a little bit of signal, you will get a clear picture. Where I live is probably 50 miles from the stations, and even though I got 80% of the channels before the switch, I now only get one with the converter box and the same rabbit ears I was using before the switch. I went to antennaweb.org and put in my address, and it showed that I need an outside antenna to bring in the signals consistently.
We are close in that we live about five miles from each other, but we aren't close like good frie
By husband and BIL WERE pretty good friends, though.
I live in the south and here a few miles south of Atlanta
it is around 14 this morning. I had to go out but layered clothes, put on socks for a change, headgear and even gloves and have a really good coat with hood but fur on the inside so I was cozy. Supposedly even colder tomorrow.
