What negative impact?
Wal-Mart generally has a positive impact on the local economy. Yeah, it may run a small business or two out that cannot compete, but it hires a lot more people and ensures that people that shop there pay lower prices than previously giving a net return of more cash to the consumer. I'll take the lower prices.
Stair-climbing is an excellent low-impact workout - sm
and it costs NOTHING. When I used to work in town, a building down the street was 9 stories tall. I would start in the basement and climb the stairs on my afternoon coffee-break. Only took about 20 minutes. I started with just 2 flights, and worked up to going bottom-to-top 4 times per workout. Excellent pre-ski-season leg-muscle and cardio-builder! (I used to call it the "poor-man's stair-master".)
That was the impact fee. It no longer exists. Some people even got it refunded.nm

...privacy??? How self-centered of them to think

celebrity privacy
I was once the personal secetary/traveling companion of a famous female author/lecturer who shall remain anonymous. My main job was to keep people away from her so she could focus on giving her talks, signing books, etc. I never in my life saw so many people do such strange things to get to a person just for an autograph or to be able to say they "saw her up close" or "touched her" and all that. And now with cell phones that take photos -- who knows what people would do to this celeb. Take pictures of her or her chart, say she told them this or that, etc. Sell the stuff. If they keep her away from people, there can be no chance of false rumors and possible law suits, etc. in the future for alleged or proven this and that.
The one I worked for --she and I had to HIDE on many occasions to escape people so that we could eat or even just rest. It made for a fun and interesting job but as a celeb, you just don't get privacy often. People follow you everywhere -- it was a pain at times and kind of spooky too to see just how far people would go.
I can understand all these measures. I have not kept up with her story; really do not know much about her, but if she is ill these policies sound very good for her. I would want the same for my former boss if she were still alive. She'd want it too, believe me.
Pricing out privacy fence...
When I landed at our place in 2002, I quickly learned I HAD to put up a privacy fence for the safety of my animals as well as the safety of the little kids who visit their grandparents next door, because I found them once too often in the pasture trying to pet the animals, and a hoof to their forheads would have been a very bad thing.
I went to Home Depot and quickly got discouraged at not only the cost of doing it yourself, but the labor and tools required. I live in New England and the ground is 90% ROCK...try digging a post hole through THAT and have fence posts spaced out appropriately...ain't gonna happen.
So, I called a fence place that was in the phone book. They came over FOR FREE, measured out what I wanted, sat down with me and a book and showed me what was available, gave me costs, and said "call us when your're ready."
You bet your bippie I went with the fencing company. They had 274 feet of 6' cedar privacy fence completely installed in ONE DAY for under $4000 (back in 2003). They had the guys, the knowhow, and the proper equipment. I had to go with metal pipes instead of wood poles because our ground is so wet and rocky, and I thought it would be ugly, but it has worked out absolutely wonderfully. I haven't painted or stained it either, just let it turn that pretty gray that cedar does.
You can see some pictures of it on my website here:
http://www.perin.org/images/specialnelliewinta.jpg
http://www.perin.org/Webpics/slides/Frogs%20yum.html
Best investment ever...not only for the safety factor, but also for the privacy, as you can see from the photos, even though we have lots-o-land, the neighbors were just too darned close. Grab your phone book, look up fence installation companies, and at least get those free estimates. 
I agree - I wanted my privacy at that age - still do! (sm)

Question about med records, privacy, and the law...
Today there was a newspaper article by Leonard Pitts. He wrote about celebrities and their right to privacy. He specifically talked about Farrah Fawcett's battle with cancer and how she knew that info was being leaked by someone in the hospital. She proved it by withholding some info from all family and friends--that only she and her doctor knew--and the info still got to the gossip rags. The hospital at first would not release the worker's name due to privacy policies. Ironic, huh? She apparently had easy access to the med record since there was a record of her looking at it more than anyone else did. Eventually the worker was charged but died of cancer before being sentenced.
Anyway, my question is this: If an offshore MT did this, could s/he be charged as well, either in their country or ours? Or would only the MTSO be in some trouble? I heard an offshore MT a few years back who threatened to release info if she did not get, I believe, an increase in pay, but do not know what the outcome was.
Ummm, wouldn't that be a privacy violation?
I don't think that ANY doctor would let you listen to his dictation just so you could determine if you wanted him for a PCP. If I asked my doctor that, he would tell me to find another PCP. Just my opinion.
Talk about a patient's privacy being intruded upon.
And who is paying for these ultrasounds? Are these lawmakers going to support these children. I think we've fought long and hard to make it our decision as women. It is our body. I'm sorry if I offend people who call it murder or whatever, but that is the choice a woman has to make, not some lawmaker. Also, which health care provider (doctor/imaging center) is making the money off of this one? Will the woman that is with child have to pay for this herself?
I laughed when I saw that privacy and cell phones, my goodness
out in public those 2 just do not go together. Unless I get a call (which I seldom do on my cell) I do not make those obnoxious calls that lets everyone else around me or a block away listen to all my conversation. I am so put off by those I usually try to walk away from the person who is doing this. By the way, if I am tracked they will find me 99.9% of the time in my own home.

Anyone move from a single family home to mobile home? sm
I own and live in a house in a midwest city in a bad neighborhood (wasn't that bad 11 years ago). I spent the day waiting for the plumber to come and jackhammer the foundation (slab house, no basement) to find a leaky pipe that is flooding my DD's bedroom. Last week, it was the electrician with quotes for costly repairs.
In the meantime, I've really been thinking about selling out and moving into a mobile home. Has anyone done this before? Is a mobile home in a decent park less of a hassle than a regular house? I'm so tired of cutting the grass and spending $$ to fix things and tired of old flooring and cabinets, etc., that are just too costly to replace. I'm single with no man to do these things for me and I can't afford a mortgage on a newer house in a good neighborhood. Some of the pictures I've seen of the mobile homes look really nice and modern on the inside.
Any advice and comments appreciated. Thanks!
Well I figure I can make my own hours & be home when the kids are home (sm)
I worked PT in an office for a while but spent most of my money on childcare in the summer. Full-time in an office was just a nightmare and I felt like I missed a whole year of my children's lives. I want to be in control of my schedule so that's why I'm looking into the cleaning thing. Never thought I would want to do that but live and learn! Some of the most intelligent people alive work as carpenters and similar things because they have learned what's really important in life. Whew....off my soapbox now :-) Good luck to you!
Daniel had a home, a very good home...
with someone in my family at one point.
She met her late husband at a club down the freeway from me. It's not a fancy place, like you say.
She does have a real brother though. That was the connection on our part.
I agree, though. It is sad that all this is coming out the way it is. I believe she was a good person...she just had a lot of problems, mainly drugs. What is really sad is that all of this is going to be seen by her daughter one day when she grows up.
Home Alone 1, A Christmas Story, Home for the Holidays, Chevy Chase's Christmas, sm
There "The Gift of the Magi," He sells his gold watch to buy her a comb for her hair and she sells her beautiful long hair to buy him a chain for his gold watch. It used to be on "Short Stories by O'Henry" but that's long gone, long ago. Good moral to the story. I can't stand "It's a Wonderful Life" -- too depressing, especially with banks closing, too intimidating right now!!!
Home sweet home.

Home, Home, On The Range SM
where the beer and the cantaloupe play . . . where seldom is heard . . . .
What happens at home stays at home. (nm)
:op
She is home, by that I mean she is 1 mile from her home.
I am the one that moved away. My brother lives there, but she requires 24-hour nursing care right now, and he is unable to provide that for her. My son is graduating high school this year and I plan to move back to take care of her, but I just can't until then. I did tell the adminstrator that they have 24 hours to figure this out, and then we will bring in the police. I have also threatened to go to the media, and this facility has a very excellent reputation and is run by the Brethren Church, so I would think they might not want bad publicity. It is a pretty small town and this is one of only a couple of care homes in the area.
It's Your Home
And I would keep the display just as it is. He had no right to come to your home and tell you to take it down.
Yes ~ I just got home...
They took it back with no problems and he even let me open the new one at the courtesy desk before I took it home. Looking back now, and don't ask me why I remember or even noticed, but you know how when they pass stuff over that little round magnet thing at the checkout to disable the security sensor inside, it kind of makes a little noise, kinda like a little "boing" sound? Well, when I did the exchange today, he passed the new ink over that circle and it made that noise and for some reason I remember the other one didn't make that noise when I bought it. Now, I know why.
Like I said, don't ask why I would remember something like that. My head is so full of useless stuff like that it's a wonder I can do my job!
Where is Home?
I'm not talking about where you live now, either. I'm missing my "home" today, and I'd like to know, where is "home" to you? Do you ever miss it? Will you be heading "home" for the holidays?
All the guy can go home now
- not good with names but the black woman who sang a Whitney song and the black woman who is really shy - Either one of those 2 will me our next American Idol! Remember where you heard it first!
Yes, now way down here. Sometimes I want to go home so bad.
But I don't want to shovel, so I guess I'll stay here! Maybe I'll go back when if my son decides to go to the U of M. Go Gophers!
Not really, did it hit home with you or
sound like your situation? I wrote as overall but if the shoe fits, so to say....If I have major issues, have not really found them yet so don't know where you are coming from, makes no sense to me but guess to you it does. My hubby has eyes for me and that is all that counts here.
home is everywhere and no where :)
i grew up in 1 place, but have moved many many times now...traveled with the racehorses, married a racerider and keep looking for greener pastures i guess!
19 and at home!
My 19 yo boy lives at home trying to get through college, and yes they think they own the world at that age. But rules are you live here you follow and respect the guidelines. Our boy broke some other rules agreed upon and now his curfew is 12 am Mond-Sund. You can't spank the kids, but making life just a bit difficult works well. If he decides he does not need to follow that curfew then he was told he can start supporting himself (HA! That wouldn't last).
If you ran away from home.....
where would you go?
This is probably it for us unless we get put in a home
s
Thanks! He is home already!
He is obviously in a lot of pain. The car trip home was rough. I sat in the back with him, trying to help him. I should have thought to put a dog bed back there, but I didn't. He is lying with his tush on a dog bed and his head wedged up under my chair, breathing fast and shallow, trying not to cause himself any pain. He still has a chest tube in, and we couldn't get him to lie down with the chest tube up, so it's underneath him. It's also time for a pain pill, so I'm going to have to wake him up for that, poor baby.
If I have the nerve I'm supposed to try to get more air out through the stopcock. I can't do it if he's going to lie on that side though.
My son used to come home
drenched in cologne that he kept in his car. Like that wasn't a give away. Now that he's 20, he just comes in smelling like a smoker. Yuck. The only adult he is around who smokes is my father and when he found out that my son was smoking, he tried so hard to quit. Now, my DD has also started smoking. She had asthma as a child and is on the BC pill, but she knows EVERYTHING, so there's no talking to her.
WELCOME HOME!!
WELCOME HOME CEDRIC! I hope you'll be very happy with Misha and her family!
God bless !!

Is your new job another at-home job with a - sm
nationl, or did you find an inhouse job? I'm in your same situation, except that my bills are current. Still, that leaves $0 for emergencies, car repairs, and a pittance for food.
After searching high & low, it appears that it just isn't going to be possible to find an at-home job that pays more than about 9 cpl, and unless I want to spend my waking hours doing nothing but working, and STILL be in the poorhouse, I just can't afford it anymore. For some reason the few inhouse jobs that are left pay by the hour, and have far better benefits.
So, my New Year's resolution is to get out there and find a better job. It was great working from home, but I want to get back to having a life again.
Well, you must be at my home 24/7, right
I talk with her all the time- I offered the washer and dryer because I have the money to do so, just recently updated my dishwasher, offered mine for hers and my husband I went over and he installed for her. We have offered many times to assist with things around her home, this is not new- she makes less than us, my husband can fix things and he will for her, she has a new home so we are available. We give time and love- just speaking with a hospice patient long distance sorta overrides other things at that point.
Who goes home
There's some speculation that nobody will go home since it's American Idol Give Back week (isn't that what happened last year)? But if someone goes home, I think it will be Carly or Syesha. The one I really think should go is Kristy Lee Cook. I really don't believe she's in the same league as the rest.
Have you seen my car or home?
I do not believe so. I would love for you to see the ex-spouse's lifestyle though.
Home
Western Colorado. In a flash!
Don't think its home alone as much as
having something to do...atleast for my hubs. I work at home so I'm almost always here but he can't stand to stay home most days. He has to be running somewhere for something. Drives me nuts! I always have a list of things to do around the house. It is never ending.
How often is she at your home?...sm
Maybe if you could just try to hang in there for the time she is there. How is it when she is not there? Do you guys get along, does he spend time with you? It sounds like she is a spoiled brat. You have obviously done the right thing letting him know how you feel but why don't you try just ignoring them and doing your own thing when she is there and see if he likes being ignored or pushed to the side. Her banging the door and cryng when it is shut is ridiculous. He should not allow her to be so spoiled. If they wanted to go places and not include you more power to them. Less time you have to be around the little brat. Look at it like that. LOL. He should not allow her to call you "she." That is disrespectful to you. You have a name. I don't have this problem. Don't have any stepchildren. The only advice I can give is give them all the time they want. Ignore them if that is the way he wants to play it. If he says something about you ignoring them or not being socialable say oh I thought that is what you wanted since you don't include me in anything. I would just do my own thing and let him do his with the little darling.
Home Ec
We still have it at our Jr. High School, the boys and the girls both have to take a half semester of it.
Yes, this is his home too
and for me keeping the cat mainly outside that comes in occasionally is an okay compromise. It took both are hard-earned money to buy this house and keep it up.
Like another poster said, we are overpopulated with cats. They are getting dumped and the mama cats are having babies left and right. I am getting mine fixed because of this. I found a home for 2 of the babies but I need to find 2 more homes.
Not sure who is going home, but
I absolutely loved Danny last night.
Tell him to worry about his own home, and
if he doesn't like it don't come over and don't send his children over.
I hate it when people behave this way. HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Close to my home!
This happened pretty close to me, actually.
I haven't heard everything, but I guess they finally caught them!!
I have only caught a few pieces of it on the news here and there, running between one thing and the next.
The only thing I've gathered from it is that this lady has had previous problems dealing with social workers--problems as in on her end. This was her 5th child. 3 have been taken away and another had died of SIDS.
The social worker was killed by "several puncture wounds with a sharp object".
That's really about all I know....
Anyone sew at home to supplement MT? sm
I'm just getting back into sewing after being out of it for many years. I always did love to sew but working fulltime with 3 kids and a busy hubby didn't leave much time for it. Would like to make articles to sell on Ebay. Any ideas? I'm thinking in the line of scrub tops for nurses. I see they are pretty good movers.
Home for me is Philly....
I live in Oregon now, don't fly well, and all my family is there. The DH and I drive cross country every year to see them. I would give just about anyting to be with my sister, brother, and their families at this time of year! Our dad just passed a year ago, mother many years ago, so we are all that's left. If my DH did not have such a great job here we would be there!
My Home's in Alabama - nm
:O)
home is where your heart is
Home has always been Texas but almost seven years ago I married a wonderful man and my children and I moved away to the Northwest to make a "home" with him. I went home as often as I could to see my ailing grandmother who raised me. As much as I tried I just could never seen to feel at home here but life as it is my beloved grandmother passed away and Texas no longer was the home I longed for I was happy here with my family and this last year I gave birth to a beautiful little boy and ever since I have felt this inexplicable need to take him home, home to my grandmothers house (someone elses home now) and to feed the ducks in the park like she did so many times with me growing up. So this year I am taking my baby ??home?? to plant roses at my grandmothers grave like I did so many times in her yard and bring home some roses from her yard my mother was kind enough to save for me when they sold her home. So that I can plant them in my yard and create a special place to sit with my little one and tell him stories of my childhood and of the special angel he has to watch over him as he grows up. So where is home???? Home for me has always been in my grandmothers embrace and I thank god each day that I was so blessed to know such love and pray that he will guide me in being the same kind of mother to my children and hopefully they feel (or will feel) about me the way I do about her. So this CHRISTMAS tell those dear to you how much you love them. Merry Christmas
