who said anything about daisy dukes? We're talking
Are elderly people supposed to cover up from head to toe just because the rest of society do not want to see wrinkles? Come on now, we're all headed there anyways and there are more seniors than ever. Get used to it.
I say if you look in the mirror at yourself before you leave the house and you're okay with it, then its all that matters. DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK!
Daisy Dukes and a plunging top ought to do the trick!

Pumping gas at full service station sm
I did this to put myself through college for my associate's degree. It was horrible in the middle of winter - kept me focused on my studies however.
School sports
I think it's a sign of maturity that he is ready to concentrate on something else. Be glad he is ending it before he gets hurt. My DH has had to have rotator cuff surgery, cervical spine surgery, and knee surgery, all due to high school and college sports.
I saw a news story this morning about a previously healthy boy in grade school who died after his football practice.
You are very fortunate.
According to Fox Sports today . . .
"Hey, we simply didn't play well enough to win," Hasselbeck said. "We can't blame this loss on the calls out there."
Obviously Hasselbeck has more grace and class than the sore losers on this board.
I went to a sports med doctor and got
a steroid injection - I could not even lift and hold a cup of coffee to my mouth - that's how bad it was bilateral elbows. First shot provided complete relief for about 3 months, and then it returned. Had second shot, and it has been gone now for years!! Way worth it! Don't waste your time with braces and the like. Just fix it! It sure hurts!
Great sports too
Must add, if you are a sports fan, the Denver professional sports teams are always exciting. One of them (football, hockey, basketball, baseball) is usually on track to have a championship year. Denver itself is also a pretty neat city. Can't emphasize enough the beauty of the state and the outdoor opportunities all times of the year. Skiing is admittedly a rather pricey sport, but there are bargains out there if you look hard enough. Also, I notice when I go back home to the Midwest to visit family how healthy Colorado people seem by comparison. I have heard Colorado people are among the healthiest--because there is no excuse not to get out and be active when you live in such a beautiful state. We raised our kids here and, as Debbb says, it is a great place to do that.
High School Sports
I too went through that with my son and his playing baseball. He was a junior in high school, was offered a full-ride scholarship to college as a pitcher, and just up and quit the sport. There were so many politics in high school sports, who knows who, whose kid gets to play because they know the coach, that kind of BS. I think the kids really feel it and just get tired of it. My son totally walked away from it, leaving me devastated, but that was his decision. I cried for him. Good luck to you!! 
Parents and children? How 'bout fishing, sports, his job, etc. nm

Who is Drew Lachey? TV, singer, sports dude?
My kids hated organized sports and groups. They
are both social, happy kids, but enjoy spending their spare time with Lego's, pets and especially reading. My 5th grader reads at an 11th grade reading level and my freshman reads well beyond college level. Both enjoy school very much and are on the Challenge tracks, A's and B's. But I think they have learned how to entertain themselves and enjoy a slower pace because we don't have a T.V. Definitely gears down the speed of life.
Sports - 1 sport a season. Fall = football for son and volleyball for daughter. sm
Their class load and homework is enough; however, the love sports and are great at too. So, I allow one sport per season, meaning Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer. Fall = football and volleyball.
Winter = swimming and winter volleyball.
Spring = Lacrosse for both.
Summer = whatever they choose.
They choose what they want and if they choose not to do a sport any particular season, that is fine with me. They do not go out on school nights and their weekend activity is limited due to their sports. It works, and they stay out of trouble and both are on the honor roll.
Too many activities is just too stressful both all. My kids will tell me when they feel burnt and need a day off and I am fine with that. I tell them to stay home that day from practice.
It works for us.
definite dearth of good TV on Sunday. Hafta watch weather, sports
Everything EXTREME, extreme sports, etc.

So do you think gas stations should discount gas for us pumping our own gas?
I'd rather scan and bag items I am purchasing, folding them the way I want to and separating them then pump gas out in the cold with the smell of gasoline on my hands.

Andy Griffith Show and Dukes of Hazzard
I know these are on as reruns but a show like one of these would be awesome to have now.
ARGH.. Have you gone to the gas station lately
or to the grocery store. Do you have a clue what your utilities are going to be this coming winter and WORK FOR LESS. YOU ARE BONKERS
It's slow everywhere right now. But, we have to man the station.

Lanier station
not sure where to post this, but I have a complete Lanier 219 station that I am going to sell. Any offers will be considered.
Went to the Prometric Testing Station
I took my CMT exam yesterday. It took almost 4 hours and was one of the hardest tests I've ever taken. The test gets all done and it just says that you've "passed" and will be getting your certificate and pin "in the mail." Couldn't they have the screen show a display of fireworks or flash "CMT, CMT...." at you.
And I really want to know what I scored. I know they can't give me the answers to particular questions because other people will be taking the test, but at least give me a number so I know if I'm really good or just okay. I'm obsessive that way I guess. I've been looking up everything I was unsure of, and I've only found one question I missed for sure, but I know there are stupid mistakes. And I know I'll be waking up at night in a cold sweat remembering something else I need to look up. Okay, I've finally gone nuts. 
Lanier Remote Station
Can anyone send me instructions on how to program an older Lanier remote transcription system? I think it is an LX-128? I just don't remember. I took my out of the closet to see if it works and have lost my instructions. Everything is all plugged in and works. HOwever, I get a double tone and not a dial tone. I remember having to program it but it has been sooooooo long ago. Any help would be appreciated.

Philips Transcription Station and Vonage
Years ago, I used a Philips Digital Transcription Station to get my MT work. It would plug into my landline jack and then I could dial in to get the jobs to transcribe. This week, the machine has returned since I am trying to help out someone with their work. Unfortunately, I no longer have a landline. I switched to Vonage over the summer. When I try to connect, it dials the phone number, I hear the computer voice that tells me to enter my ID # and then when I do that it is supposed to validate my number and show me the available jobs. It starts the validating process but then times out and hangs me up. Has anyone had problems like this and if so have you been able to fix it.....help please!!!
Lanier station with Comcast Digital
I have used this for quite some time with no problems. I have also used a C-phone and Voice Solutions Digital Workstation with Comcast and it works just fine. The only thing you may have a problem with is having dictation cut out periodically or what sounds like "choppy" dictation (and this occurs VERY rarely) and all you have to do is disconnect the phone lines and power from the back of the device you are using, wait a few minutes and plug back in and it should work. Other than that, NO problems!
Voice Solutions DA-128 transcribe station help
Anyone know how to set the M1, M2, and M3 phone number memory buttons on this? Thanks!
Check your local police station, that'd be the place to look.
I bet they don't outsource that.....or do they? Interesting.
Lanier station w/Comcast digital voice
Will this work? A couple of years ago I tried a Lanier with Vonage and it didn't. I don't want to go through the setup trouble only to be disappointed again. I really need more minutes than my 5000 per month with Qwest. Has the technology changed to make the Lanier compatible with internet phone service? Thanks if you can help me.
Need Lanier ExWriter to test. Will VDI station or C-phone work or can I rerecord?
I am unfamiliar with the Lanier ExWriter. Can somebody please fill me in? I have a C-phone, VDI station, a call-in system with L.E.E.C.H. capabilities that can download work onto my system from another, or rerecord equipment. Can you access files from call-in systems like you can with a regular telephone and C-phone? How is the sound quality? I am not to thrilled with the .dss or WAV files.
Thanks!
Outrageous. I just forwarded to a local radio station in my area. Who else can we send this to?

I have used a Digital Transcribe Station from Transcription Gear in lieu of a C phone just fine nm
Local radio station is giving away American Idol concer tickets. sm
They're running a contest for 2 free tickets. With the entry, you have to list what you would be willing to do in exchange for these tickets. The best/most original idea will win the tickets. Any suggestions? It has to be something the person would really be willing to do. I really want these tickets!!
I just emailed Glenn Beck. Also sent to local radio station and CBS news. Now sending to my senato
