If you are going to South St. Seaport and are staying in Midtown, you might want to plan other things in that area while you are there. If you like Latin food, there is a restaurant called Cabana at South Street Seaport. Reasonable for lunch but expensive for dinner. It is on second floor and overlooks harbor. Also the downtown alliance has a free shuttle that takes you around lower manhattan. you get on and off at various points. http://www.downtownny.com/gettingaround/?sid=19
That way you can do Staten Island Ferry, ground zero, Brooklyn bridge, etc., and not get lost walking around in lower manhattan. It is not laid out like a grid down there and gets very confusing.
My daughter plans on going to college in NYC so we go often. Have a great time. Don't be afraid of the subway. It is a great experience. Going back to NYC in August. Cannot wait.

manhattan
Don't live there, but visit as often as possible. One of the best web sites we use to get around the city is hopstop.com. You put in your starting and end point, and it gives you walking/subway directions with images, subway lines, etc.
Don't worry, Mom. NYC isn't such a big bad city. My daughter plans on going to college there next year, and even she has learned her way around the subways, streets, just from our visits.
Lugging around a bunch of samples will probably be his biggest obstacle in the crowds.
Anyone live or work in Manhattan recently? sm
We live in NE and our son has just taken a sales job where part of his territory is Manhattan. He cannot afford to say no, and we have no clue as to the subway system, best way to get around, garages to park, places to go and to avoid. The company just said, "Have a good holiday, see you Jan. 2." The company is not even located in NY, just his "territory." We would like to help but feel totally lost. Any suggestions? We don't even have a clue as to how to take the subway system, how to pay, let alone which lines, etc. This is going to be a nightmare but we are trying to be positive for him, he has a family to support and mortgage to pay. You may e-mail me with some ideas. Money is tight as he's been looking for a job for a long time, things are rough. I can't get into what he'll be selling but the samples are very heavy to lug around NY city. I feel bad for him but he needs this job. Thanks for any clues on maps, etc. I am sure a Garmin would help but don't know a thing about them either or whether it would be stolen as it will not be built into his vehicle. Are the cheaper ones any good at all? He has enough heavy stuff to lug around. Thanks in advance.
Where in lower NY?
I'm in Upstate NY and it's in the mid-70's here. I think this morning the low was in the high 50's. Brrr to you.
me too (lower NY state)
had to go out for son's teacher conference
Please not the lower back...
Hip or shoulder yes, lower back...please NO!!! So trashy...MHO, of course...good day!
I have one on the right side of my lower
abdomen, only see it in swimsuit. Really wanted one on the back of my shoulder, but decided not to get one that would show when I was "dressed up." My ex told me I could NEVER have one, so when we divorced that is the first thing I did!!!!
Lower it - 21 is too high
1. Three years is not a huge difference.
2. Most kids are drinking earlier than 21 anyway and nobody is enforcing the law when they get caught drinking under age.
3. It was 18 when I was 18 and there was not a high incidence of drunk driving or whatever reason they have for a drinking age.
4. Germany there is no drinking age and they do not have a high rate of drunk drivers (they have one of the lowest rates of any country).
5. If they are not going to lower the drinking age they should then raise the age of joining the military. Someone tell me that it makes sense that they can't drink til their 21, but at 18 years old in the military they are given guns and can use them.
Some kids will be responsible and some kids won't. I know a lot of people who are in their 20s and 30s and older who are very irresponsible when it comes to drinking - btw, I am 48 years old, not 18, 19, or 20 (and just want the age lowered) :-)
Your lower teeth
in the front ... have your gums eroded in back of the teeth as well? Mine look fairly normal in front of the teeth, but behind them (especially bottom front teeth), I can see the gums are quite receded. I have one of those little dental mirrors. I am wondering why they would be worse in the back, as I think I brush the same way there.
If the houses around you are crap, your value will also be lower than it should be.

She said TURKEY BACON which is much lower in sat fat, etc. sm
I did Weight Watchers for years and I'd eat something like this, if you were judiciously using the bacon/cheese.
P.S. They DO lower your minimum payment due (nm)

If you suffer from lower back pain
or arthritis like me, you may want to try the SALONPAS pain relieving patch. Works great! Relatively inexpensive. Comes in different sizes. Right before it rains, I often get horrible arthritis related lower back pain problems. I put on the patch and I am able to type almost pain free. If you can not find it in your local pharmacy, your may want to look it up online. Made by Hisamitsu Parmaceutical Co. Best patch/pain reliever I have tried.

try to negotiate for a lower APR before going to CCC & use the word "hardship"
Search Google for credit info center they have great advice there.
Try to negotiate for a lower APR yourself first.
First call and threaten to cancel, (but do not cancel if they don't help!) and that might get you a lower APR.
If that fails write or call back,you have to say the word "hardship" to them to really work with you if you are not 60 days past due...that is the magic word. Their hardship plan and CCCS looks the same on your credit report, at least you control it by doing it yourself.
HTH :)

Negotiate lower interest rates on your credit cards
It’s worth a shot, and some credit card companies might do it if you’ve been a faithful customer or you threaten to balance transfer to another card.Buy a texting plan for your cell phone. Texting has become unbelievably popular. I have no idea why, because it seems like a pain in the butt, but it’s typically 15 cents for every message you send and receive. This adds up, so better off paying $5 to $10 a month for the add-on plan if you’re addicted to texting.
Southern here, cracklins sold in lower income stores usually
I have been at roadside stands and never smelled them cooking nor saw them but mostly you see in stores like food depot. I know of no one who uses them. I am sure that various parts of the country have other foods that could turn a person's stomach. I remember a supposed pepperoni pizza I had 1 time in Buffalo and the tomatoes on it were whole like uncooked. Yuck for that. Everyone has a yuck I am sure.
My daughter is 35 years old and has been having pain in left lower abdomen for quite some time . . .
She had a CT with oral and IV contrast and it was normal, but showed she had an enlarged uterus. Dr. called the next day and said she needs to go for ultrasound.
There is lots of cancer in the family, so my daughter is very concerned. Can any of you who have experienced this help out here. Thanks.
