Gotta love no payments! LOL

People who keep their signal lights on for miles and miles
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.
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.
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)

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). :-)
A Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton - sm
This song by Vanessa Carlton was in the movie White Chicks, LOL. It was hilarious. Watch the movie if you ever get the chance.
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.
Even if you have not changed anything - sm
you can still develop an allergy. I was told years ago that your body chemistry changes every 7 years or so; don't know if it is true, but it seems that way in my experience. I have developed shampoo allergies in the past totally out of the blue, as well as skin sensitivity. Do patch testing on her arm, place a dab of everything she uses on her inner arm, leave on for 24-48 hours (no showers) covering with a band-aid and then check to see if there is a reaction. That is how I found out it was the shampoo I had been using for years; stopped using the shampoo and my rash went away instantly. But regardless call the dermatologist, make an appointment, I cannot believe you have not called them because you think it will take too long to explain to them the problem; tell them skin rash, period. It may just be a reaction to the drug she is on as well, so once she is off it still may take weeks to clear up and she may need somethings to counteract the reaction. My daughter a few years ago had a reaction to Omnicef, they had to put her on 2 other drugs to get the rash to go away, then taper her off them once the rash disappearred, took about 2-3 weeks for the whole process. Call doctor today, get her in ASAP!
5.4, I think. But might have changed since this was

I can't get into it anymore...has it changed?..
I just get "picture of the day" and not the live cam I used to see. ???
This was some years ago and probably has changed
but I was the custodial parent. My ex-husband stayed behind in child support, never caught up and owed me over 3 thousand when my child reached 18. He wanted me to "drop" off my child at another place, did not want to perhaps run into a new guy at my home and the judge said my child not a puppy dog, if he wanted to see he would have to pick her up there. Whatever the courts say, not what you or the next one says, is what goes. Getting the police involved is fruitless- they will tell you need an attorney, go thru the courts, etc. Calling them is taking up their valuable time and they are not at liberty to state who a child should go with. What kind of court order is there and if not, there certainly should be something before you start playing these games. I do not think nonpayment of child support now days plays any part in whether a child is allowed to visit with noncustodial parent. Basically when a court says so, you have to abide by their orders.
Things may have changed
when he was like 2. I will never do that again. They put a bunch of needles filled with different types of serum up both of his arms and all over his back. Then they had to be watched to see which one he reacted to the most. The allergist claimed he was allergic to every food out there and every tree and mold. So, I just laid off the milk and kept him inside on high pollen days. He would have been bubble boy. Thankfully, he's fine now other than an occasional sinus drainage problem, which I think the pollen or something or other must be high right now.
Yes, a friend of my DIL had this and changed
for the worst. She lost weight in her body but her extremities did not and she did not look that good. She changed completely in personality, went from mother and part-time teacher to thinking sex goddess, running around with lots of guys, stealing- things she never did before the bypass. I also saw a television show on bypass surgeries and the stories were similar to this, lots have experienced complete character changes.
In many ways she has changed
Far from perfect but definitely better and being with Nick has definitely helped. Of course, she was just recently holding over Sharon and Brad's head their affair and could go to jail for it, so I guess that is the Phyllis you remember. I have only been watching the show for about 3 years.
times have changed
dont make a big deal about it or it will become a big deal. so buy her the little sports bras that look like half T shirts. this is also good in the winter as it helps keep them warmer. no big deal.
The age for some retirement has changed
I am almost 65 (next March) and my retirement age is 67. It has gone up with people living longer and people born around my year and later will find their social security starts later than 65. I am still working and hope to continue- I have retirement money starting next April from place outsourced from (being independent contractor, that will probably pay part of my taxes for the month, ha!) I guess I should go ahead and contact SS so I can find out if and when I should sign up.
I have a friend who changed her name.
She now wants to be called Sunshine. It would be one thing if the name fit her, but she's the most negative, complaining person I've ever met. I refuse to call her Sunshine. She corrects me whenever I call her by her given birth name, so I just roll my eyes and call her, "Hey!" I think it dishonors your parents to change your name. I've known her by her given name for over 20 years. I'm not changing just because she decided she doesn't like it any more.
A lot has changed in 5 years --
I don't have any personal experience with bankruptcy, but I have a few friends who do. One of them filed several years ago and I think a lot has changed since then. I don't think it's as easy to do anymore and I think you still have to pay some of it back. It's also harder if you have assets to file bankruptcy, so you might want to look into it a little better.
On an another note, it's rather upsetting that so many people think (and not just you) that it's okay to just throw your debt over your shoulder and walk away. I'm sure everyone has their reasons for racking up the debt, but in the end, it's a decision you made. I think people should be more responsible for their actions. Too many people live for the moment and let the rest of us pay for it.
I would have changed seats anyway sm
Less inconvenient than being sick! If I see someone coughing or otherwise obviously sick, I hold my breath as I walk past them if I cannot go way out of my way to walk around them...lol. I used to be a classroom reader with the first graders at my son's school...I built up quite the immune system that year ;) Didn't volunteer this year for my daughter's third grade class...lol
remember they changed it?
It always happens before Halloween however someone in the government changed the daylight savings time weeks... my calendar on sunday says "daylight savings time ends". does that mean saturday night, i guess someone said below!
Unless things have changed
As far as I know, you have to have a converter box, if you don't have a HDTV TV. You can't use a DVD or VCR player for a converter. Maybe what they meant, is if you need a converter box, and don't have one, the only way you can watch your TV, is using a DVD or VCR player, playing the DVD discs, or VCR tapes.
I have bought 5 converter boxes, ending up taking two back. First one I got was a Magnovox, and I didnt' like it. My antennas wouldn't fit it.
I took it back and exchanged it for a RCA one. I couldn't get my money back, with the coupon, so, had to exchange it, and am stuck with the RCA one. It works OK. Not great.
Then I reviewed and found the TiVax was recommended. I got it. I liked it, till I got a DVT Pal today. It is better than any of them i have tried. I traded a Zenith for it, didnt' like the Zenith. My antennas wouldn't fit it, either. So I took the Zenith back, got the DVT Pal.
The Pal is the only one , so far, that I have gotten 4 stations. The others I have only gotten 2. With the ZEnith, I got none. I think I'll stay with the DVT Pal. I have one more coupon left.
No slump here so nothing has changed. NM

Wow, the place sure has changed!
My hubby and I went there on our honeymoon in 1985. It was very quiet, and we went all over the place on scooters, taxis, and even rented a jeep and drove up the peninsula some 100 miles or so to see the ruins at Chichen Itza. At that time, the airport looked more like a bus station!
I would have had a great time, but it was January, and I had the flu... REAL influenza; the sort of illness where you feel like you're going to die and you just don't care. I started feeling a little ill even before we left home. By our first night there, I felt horrible and was sick for the entire week. All these years later we laugh about our honeymoon and how I walked around Cancun like a zombie.
Wills cannot be CHANGED. They can be
be contested, but the involved heirs have to agree and consent to the change in distribution.
Without their agreement nothing can be changed.
Have you changed anything in your diet?
My sister had horrible migraines about 20 years ago to the point where she thought she had a brain tumor. She found out that she has a lot of allergies to food, MSG being the worst one. She has to read labels very carefully and the big thing to stay away from is turkey. Turkey has it's own natural MSG that would put her in bed for a day with a headache if she ate it.
I hope you find a remedy that works.
Maybe the office has changed their
policy and will not just renew RXs without an exam.
Even if he truly changed, I'm just not sure if I could love him again.
I just don't know if I can ever completely trust him again and there is a panic that rises in my gut when I think about him coming back home and things going back to the way they were.
He used to steal money from me in order to buy booze because at one point I just decided I could not trust him with money, even if he had a dollar he would buy a cheap can of beer at the gas station. He had booze hidden all over the house. He would look me in the eye, drunk as a skunk, and say he hadn't been drinking. When I asked if he had booze in the house, he said "no" without batting eye.
I just don't want to walk around feeling tense all of the time and worrying if he's telling me the truth or not. Even if he does truly change, how do I get rid of my doubts? I don't know if I can ever completely trust him again and I don't want to live like that.
Hang on, though. The rate could have changed...sm
If any payments were late (or missed), the rate could have gone up astronomically for the OP. They may well have gone up and up. It's probably in the fine print of the card agreement that that will happen automatically with late payments.
And I have heard financial experts say that it's not a good idea to call and cancel a card if you still have a balance on the card, because then you have no way to negotiate with them. Though it doesn't sound like any negotiating was able to happen in this case, you're supposed to keep asking for the person's supervisor (and their supervisor, if necessay), and be persistent, until you get to talk to someone who can help you with lowering the rate and maybe waiving some of the fees.
Then I would apply for another card with a lower rate (and make darn sure you don't make any payments late or miss any payments!) and transfer that WA MU balance over (and ask if they can wave the transfer fee when you apply for the new card).
BTW, I recently applied for a credit card with WA MU because the offer was for 0% interest for 15 months on balance transfers, and the person was definitely in India. Every time I interruped him to ask him a question, it was like he then had to start over reading his "script" but I could understand him.
I asked if he could wave the balance transfer fee, and he said he was unable to do that. I didn't persist or ask to speak to his supervisor, but I should have. According to the experts, the time to negotiate is before they have your business. After they have you as a customer, they aren't so interested!
I read this was changed 10 years ago what with
20-40 young adult
40-60 adult
60-80 middle-age
80-100 old age
seems a better fit in today's world of people living significantly longer than our ancestors.........
I got a couple of years until I hit middle age according to what I read 10 years ago or longer..........
Hubby changed dermatologists after...
arriving for what he had been told was the first appointment of the day, only to learn from eight other patients that they had been told the same thing.

would not want scoring method changed
because if the judges had too much weight on their scores, there is never a question of who wins -- this way, a person can impress the audience with their overcoming obstacles or rate of improvement, etc, and may get to rank up there with someone who has more natural talent. This makes it more fun!
Name changed legally in the courts and
the reason for the change, he tells me, is he always since a child did not like his given name and as adult, when he could afford, changed it in the courts. He thinks the only reason they are not calling the new (like I said, old name like Lewis and new name like Lou so it is just a shortened version) is just not respecting his wishes. He has told them before, not just this time. The entire name was changed but this is the catch, when he got the thank you note for the flowers sent for the funeral, they came in his newer name!! The person who died, his aunt, always sent him notes, cards, etc. in his new name so not everyone in his family not acknowledging, only the younger siblings actually (those being in the 40s,50s group). So your answer, not just at this funeral time and did because simply hated his name for years. In talking about your friend's name change, I see you emphazied if it MEANT that much to her, pray tell, why do you think someone might do otherwise (other than being in witness protection??) Another thing, just to let you know, his mother prior to her death knew, respected and called him his newer name.
