I love the flannel leisure pants.  I wear a pair that were my husbands, they are so soft and give with the hours of sitting in the chair!  What's your favorite, most comfy work attire? 

I do "dress up" some too.  I like to change it up, some days with jeans, some days even with dress pants and a nice top and even a little makeup, just to feel like I am a girl! 

I consistently have to ask somebody three houses down to turn down the music they play in their garage... they think because it is a closed-in area that nobody can hear it, but it echoes off the garage door.  Most of the time I can only hear the thump thump noise and nothing else, and that is the most annoying part.  I've found that for the most part it's renters instead of owners that do this kind of thing, that and let the yards go without watering it or mowing it once a month, things like that. 

Is she wearing a helmet that fits?  There are daily accidents with children on ATVs.  I'm sure she's probably not going fast, but an accident can happen even at 5 mph.  If she should happen to flip the ATV, which can happen on an incline at any speed, your daughter could be killed.  I don't mean to sound so grim, but it's something to be aware of.

We have an ATV.  My 3 boys do ride with their dad and do wear helmets, but it's something I wish I'd never allowed to start.  Every time they get on, I feel like I have to hold my breath until they're off.

I just received documentation for our upcoming cruise and was delighted to find out we have been upgraded to a suite. My only concern is they have placed us near the elevator.  Is this going to noisy?  Has anyone experienced this before?  TIA

I am sorry, but I hate when people reside in one home, yet they feel they can just run the neighborhood.  My parents had neighbors that cursed all of the time. 

We just had (live in a townhome) construction workers building a new store in our town "squatting" in the townhome attached to us.  My husband was furious.  He called the landlord that owns the home.  Now, we have at least better neighbors!!! 

I've found that it keeps you focused, but I was used to listening when I worked full-time on-site.  I am quite accustomed to background noise from when my children were young, but now that they are in school, it makes me feel "not so lonely".  I do not, however, prefer the TV blaring unless it is on a music channel.  I think it is quite soothing, and I'm not real sure why....  lol 

I received an iTunes gift card for Christmas and am looking for music I can download to my iPod to exercise by.  I'd really like exercise-specific music that includes a slower song or two for the warmup, then a steady faster rhythm for 30 minutes or so and then another slower song for the cooldown.

I suppose I could create my own list, but it would take me way too long to figure out 30 minutes' worth of songs with the same basic rhythm!

Any help sure would be appreciated.  I'm so tired of feeling guilty every time I walk past the treadmill that I just "had" to have.

Enjoy!  Cat

You have to download the music to your computer, then you can save it on the CD.  I use an iPod, but they do have restrictions.  IPods are set up as MP4 files rather than MP3, so you can't transfer the music back and forth from an iPod to say, a Zune.  I love the iPod and iTunes, though.  I'm big on the instant gratification aspect of being able to download the music, movies, and TV shows that I want.  I have 2 iPod Video and I use them both quite a bit.

About the free music - I don't know about those.  It's my understanding that any free music site is basically illegal (I could be wrong, though).  I've always paid for mine, so I don't know much about it.

Someone just sent us this neat site:  www.theradio.com   Type in any song title  and it will keep playing songs from that era.

Very new to this so need suggestions.

Can I download music to a CD -

Is an MP3 player or an IPOD a better way to go and which of these is the best

Any good sites to find music for free

Thank you
