A US Airways plane crashed into Hudson River in NYC. Just happening now
Plane looks intact and people on rafts in the really, really cold water. Not sure if people are still inside. Hope everyone is okay.
I've always been in fairly good shape (ski, bike, etc.) But - sm
there are some people I skate with who are heavy and skate just fine. One girl in particular is actually obese, but is an amazing skater & dancer.... very flexible, too. Unfortunately she has chronic ankle problems that have kept her off skates for the past couple years, so she bikes, instead. One skater has only one leg... has a fake one made to fit his inlines, and he goes like the wind... I sure can't catch him! :)
I've found them to be close to the same Misses size,

Try WD-40. I've used it to remove lots of things.
If you go to the WD40 site, specifically the page "2000 Official Uses for WD-40" below and enter "rubber cement" it does indicate that it works.

Lily of the Valley perfume...
I forget who makes it, it's a cheap brand and kinda cheezy but my mom always wore it and it reminds me of her and springtime and is my absolute favorite. I always put a spritz or two on when I'm feeling down and it's an instant pick me up.
It's an historic occasion. Whether you happen to

We are close in that we live about five miles from each other, but we aren't close like good frie

Oh Wow. Staying in downtown Atlanta in a historic hotel. This place is haunted. No one
told me this, I am a Christian and I feel this heavy spirit following me everywhere I go! How crazy is that? I believe there is something here at this place. It is a beautiful place, but definitely something spiritual going on here. This was the place where they had some Gone With The Wind ball many years ago. Very strange.
We are here visiting and going to the zoo, children's museum, and aqauarium this week. Wow. I have the chills right now! night night
If you are set on closing, do not close the old ones, close a newer account first.
Your credit is based on a mix of things like history, types of accounts, mix of credit (revolving vs installment), usage/utilization of credit available, and payment history. Where closing could hurt your score is the part of the score that averages history of accounts/length of credit. If you decide to close, close out a newer account first.
The best way to protect from ID theft as far as credit is to freeze your credit reports. It's around $10 per agency to freeze them. Each credit reporting agency tries to sell your their own monitoring plan when you get to the how to freeze information, so make
sure you are freezing it.
You can't freeze it over the net they each require a letter by registered mail. It takes about 1 month to freeze it.
Right now you can place a fraud alert on your reports for free. The credit *should* not extend credit or do a credit line increase without calling the phone # on your credit report first. You only need to do it at one credit reporting agency and the other ones will be notfied. The number for equifax fraud alert 1-888-766-0008. It's automated.
If you are concerned about ID theft try one of the monitoring plans. I've tried a few of them and Equifax has the best one. Their Score Watch is great, you set the limits to be notified and any change they send an email literaly the next day. I used it after I discovered ID theft. It might be a waste of money for you. I would place the fraud alerts, then the freeze, and check your reports 2x per year.
I've had ID theft as far as my name/social but what concerns me more than credit ID theft is bank account theft. I don't know how we can fight that. It seems like consumers get the raw end of the deal as far rights when deposit accounts are stolen.

A River Runs Through It
Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters.
I am in PA. I would like to go to the New River Gorge in W. Va. and do some of the Shenandoah on
the way. Neat area. I love W. VA but the roads are unbelievably winding.
Do you know where in Florida this is? Is it St. Johns River? sm
my mom lives in Florida and if it is in the right location, she would love that!
OMG!! I have cried a river reading this...sm
I am a softie for dogs anyway, and I especially have a special place in my heart for pit bulls and beagles too. This goes to show what wonderful dogs a pit can be. I am not surprised at all that this dog did this because a pit is one of the most smart, loving, feeling dogs you could ever meet. If they are raised right that is. It is so typical of a pit to risk his own life to save someone in need. This pit who some people claim are dangerous could have very well saved this woman and her son from a tragic end. And then for him to jump in her back seat as if to say please take me home. I just would have begged them to please let me take him home. I am glad to know if nobody claims him she will take care of him now because he deserves it. He truly is an "angel." THIS is why I love pit bulls. Until you know one you don't know the love they are capable of.
S. Street Seaport is on the East River
I grew up in the town of Catskill, right next to the river.
I miss thoore brisk mornings.
I'm fairly new
to personals sites. Most of the people I've dated before were coworkers, old high school friends, etc. Thanks for the suggestion--I haven't heard of speed dating in my area, however. Just wanted to see about a support group for those who get dumped many, many times. If this happened to someone I knew, I'd advise her to just throw in the towel!
Yep all 3 of them, 2 of them I see on a fairly - sm
regular basis 3-4 x a year, have an evening out or bull session at one of their houses/apartment, the other I email though she actually lives closer about 2.5 hours away. Every summer I say I will try to go and visit her but have not made it as yet and have not seen her for about 6 years. She has a small farm and lots of animal so hard for her to visit. The other 2 still live where we grew up and where my family is, so obviously I see more of them. We email and talk on the phone at least once a month if not more.
fairly new student
Hello all! I am a fairly new student of MT.I am going through M-TEC. Anyone else going through the same school??? I would greatly appreciate any and all suggestions to help me out in my journey. I am sure that there are many of you out there who have some good suggestions on MT studying, finding words, answers to questions and so on. Thanks in advance!
I'm now doing fairly physical labor
for my job, and my body likes it better than being locked in a chair 40+ hours a week. I did have shoulder pain for a couple of months that worried me, but that's gone now. Sitting in a chair all those hours is not good for you - we weren't designed for it. It took me quite a while to figure out exactly where my worst pain was, and it turned out to be coming from right next to one of my ischial tuberosities, probably from an inflammed bursa irritating the sciatic nerve. But everybody's pressure point could be different.
It's one thing if you work in an office and have other duties in the mix, even just delivering reports or whatever, but it's not natural to do only one thing like they make factory workers do. Currently the worst pain I have is from my long commute, SITTING in the car.
Seizures are fairly common in Springers.
But what is the age of onset? Usually if age of onset is after 5 years, it is something other than epilepsy. But in a very young dog, it probably is epilepsy. A friend of mine has a Australian shepherd (named Major) that was having multiple grand mal seizures a day. Medicine helped, but what made a big difference for her was changing the dog's food to Canidae. Of course it's not in place of medication, but the dog went from multiple seizures a day before medication to 1 seizure a week with medication (may have had to add a second med, not sure), but then changing to Canidae improved him to 1 seizure in 6 months! She also has a Pembroke corgi (named Minor) who alerts them to each seizure before it hits their Australian shepherd.
She named her dogs Major and Minor - what a nut. :oD
I have a fairly new HP printer and I have plenty of paper in it but it always think it is out.
I adjust the paper but it keeps saying this. Seems to be an ongoing problems. I can hear it drop on to the paper but it doesnt pull it.
I quit (I am still fairly young, so only smoked 8 years), but
I feel so much better. Even if someday I get lung cancer despite having quite, I am thankful to not wake up coughing every morning and to have clothes that don't stink and to be able to tell my kids not to smoke without being a hyprocrite. I can tell them why I quit. Mostly, I just feel better for the time being and that is enough. Plus, I save A LOT of money because cigarettes were darned expensive in Washington state.
I had surgery about 1-1/2 years ago and have a fairly long abdominal scar. I see now I am getting
a sore knot in 1 spot underneath the skin. My scar actually is hypertrophic so have had a lot of problems with it. Any suggestions. I am not enthused about cortisone shots in it.
I have relatives in fairly rural Maine who never lock, and I feel totally safe there. nm

Lots and lots of SKATING ! - sm
Mostly inline street skating, up & down hills, too. Some roller skating and roller-disco. I was doing ice-skating, but can't afford it anymore, plus I prefer to skate outdoors. It works all muscles, is low-impact, fairly quick to learn compared to other sports, like skiing, is a cheap sport, and excellent for keeping balance & reflexes sharp. Most of the people I skate with look & act 10-20 years younger than their chronological ages.
I MAKE the time to skate. I eat my lunch at my desk, but take a break in the late afternoon before it gets dark, to exercise. This can also include a walk or jog around the neighborhood, bike ride into town to go to the market (cheaper than driving), a fast inline skate around town, or dance practice on a local tennis court. Then I work into the evening for as long as it takes to finish up.
By trial and error. Lots and LOTS of error!!! -nm

I would really keep a close eye on her
if like you say the distance is making him more psycho. Sounds like a really dangerous character to me. And of course, we both know that "mother knows best" but then again, did we listen to our mothers? NOOO! We did exactly the opposite of what they wanted us to do! We all have to learn our lessons in life the hard way. Like you said, at least there are no children involved. Just count your blessings that she got out before she devoted too many years to this warped relationship!
She is only 19 and we are so close sm
I told her this week that I will always love her as her mom, support her like her mom, be concerned for her like her mom, but that we have both allowed our relationship to flower into a friendship where one happens to be 28 years older than the other and that one gave birth to the other.
She has given me so much to be proud of, so much to be thankful for, and this is part of it.
Don't close out your IRA!
Cashing out the IRA has big consequences. Depending on how much is in there you could be getting some pretty big penalties. Not to mention that the value of it is down enough that you're taking a loss even without factoring the penalities into it. The car is still running, right? Granted, you said not for much longer, but it's at least still running now. I would wait. Dealerships are always having sales - even the used car guys. With the economy going the way it is, they're not going to be having much luck and I have a feeling that by the summer you'll be able to find something decent within the range that you've got without cashing in the IRA.
You must have been close to your dad...sm
I have never been close to my dad. Not that I wouldn't be hurt if something happened to him, but I am very close to my mom. You know sometimes you can tell when a parent doesn't want to be bothered with you and I always got that feeling from my dad but never from my mom. I knew he loved me but sometimes he didn't seem to want me around.
if it is close
I would not give one of those slimeballs one more penny, let alone $6,000. That party was a scam all the way. If you have equity in your home, just thank God that you did not get caught up in this stupid 1920's style disaster and pay that house off!
I was close, eh?
;)
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....
Were you guys close before this? I just
cannot believe this has escalated into this now. Even if she couldn't pay for it, she should have just admitted that they were at least partly responsible. To physically attack you though...I mean, this is your sister!
Good luck with everything and keep us updated.
Anyone from Modesto, CA or very close by - sm
I am going to be going out to Modesto next week, and I don't know how long I'll be staying. I was wondering if anyone from that area knew of any "extended stay" hotels or hotels like Towneplace Suites or Hawthorne - that are great for long stays. Or perhaps someone from Modesto or nearby might suggest short stay furnished apartment complexes.
Any ideas would really help. I've been on the internet looking at hotels until I'm blue in the face and soooo frustrated. Please feel free to email me. Thanks again and any ideas are greatly appreciated.
maybe a close relative the pet knows?

Close to Springfield IL
Wow, you are close to where I live. I live in Virginia, IL which is about 35 miles west of Springfield and my husband teaches and coaches in Springfield. I have always lived around this area and like it very much.
How close are you to Inwood, WV?
My friend Arlene called from there this evening and told me about the lockdown at Musselman HS last Friday...it was just a stone's throw from where she lives and her niece goes there. It appears you're neighbors there in the 4 corners. She's originally from WV....lived here in KY for a while and we sang together for a minute.
I re-read your original post and explained to her about your son having been at VA tech in April...double whammy. How'd that all work out?
Perhaps you'd like to say hello to her sometime....It's always good to find another friend. If so, e-mail me and I'll hook you guys up.  Cat
Just have him standing close would
tell me if he were smoking, it would be obvious. I don’t think I would probably buy the friend story. I probably would have spoke up and said well let me have his number and I will call him so he can come and get…
Very close, up a tad north of you....
My husband refuses to go further north than Tennessee. He believes he will "freeze". I, on the other hand, grew up in the south but have ALWAYS longed to live up north. I have a cousin who grew up here with me. She went to Vermont one year for some job or something, came back home, and said she was moving up there. She did and is now in her late 50's and dreads having to come back down here. She loves it too! She keeps wanting me to come visit but I would want to move even more. Now, I probably will say no to Alaska. I had a girlfriend who moved up there one week after getting married (her husband was from there). She is a southern girl and she was miserable. She would call crying, was thawing her walls out with a blow dryer. I was dying laughing and she was squawling. Twelve years later, she finally told her husband she wand the kids wer moving back south....he could come if he wanted. He did and they have been here ever since.
Close to retirement age (for me), if you could would you
take a reduction of 6% on your social security if you could - mine starts at age 66 and next year I will be 65 so that late would only mean 6% off instead of full social by the age of 66. If you had a chance, would you do that or would you wait until full and then draw plus being able to work?
Is not WellStar close to you
WellStar Cobb- I don’t know if they have nursing school or teaching there but the hospitals, Kennestone, Cobb General- I don’t know which have nursing schools- Atlanta Medical did years ago, but I think you would find out you would probably not have to spend much- if anything- on your schooling. I think it is a win-win situation for you. Good luck!
no longer close....
That is what I thought half would be fair. But I know she wouldn't pay it. Because I have learned how she is. I realize I should have gotten it back way before then but I just said you know I am sure she has it put up and I will get it back. I had no idea she shampooed her carpet that often. And no I will not be loaning her anything else. From now on IF I loan something out( she is an exception I won't be loaning her anything) saying you break it you replace it is a good idea. Let's them no if they can't or don't want to replace it then don't borrow it. I did say something to my husband's brother about it. My husband and her husband are twin brothers. He did not offer any money on it. And when I told him I needed to get half of what it cost he gave no answer. My husband says let it go and learn your lesson to never let them borrow again. But I still think it is only fair to have at least half my shampooer cost paid.
Even though my grandkids very close by
they both drive yet never come this way. Have not seen them now in 2 or 3 years I guess. Got letter from GD when she started college saying shame she saw her great aunt more than me- told her this had gone on since she was first born, nothing new- my DIL never wanted to share with me so I just finally said enough. Tried and tried but her family not only pushed me aside but I really lost my son also, like they engulfed him. Oh well... I have lived at my new home since 2004 and living 15 minutes away, he has never been here. Live and learn.
She didn't come close to us
And as the poster said below her concerts sold out in minutes. I doubt I'd be lucky enough to get tickets. On the upside, we had an amazing time. Didn't get home until 1:30 this morning, so thank God I've been on vacation for the last three days.
If I was close to retirement, then I'd
work in a flower or gift shop or even a coffee shop part-time. It's hard to make any money doing this anymore since everything is either going low-pay/high ESL, or voice recognition, which in my opinion does not save your wrists, and you get paid less to do more as far as I'm concerned. I'm in a bad mood today, can you tell? Sorry to take it out on you, but you asked. I'm no where near retirement age by the way.
