Welcome to my summers in MS
nm
We have had our pool for 2 summers. sm
The first pool we got from Academy Sports and it was totally awful. The side walls were not thick enough. It kept busting at the seams. It did not last 10 days. So, needless to say, we took it back. We then got the 18 x 4 at Walmart and it has been great with no problem whatsoever. Do not use more than 1 waterhose to fill it up though. If you do that, it will not stand up right. As much as I want a regular hard side pool, this will definitely suffice for a few more years. Happy Swimming!
Jan-winters where? sm
Where are you living now? I am originally from Michigan. If you want to write to my e-mail I will discuss Asheville with you. There are some things you need to know about this place before moving here unless you have family here and are totally familar with it. First of all it is (I think) very expensive here.
Take care
Shelly Winters.
So sorry to hear of her death - what a great actress and huge talent - I feel like I've lost a family member. RIP Shelly!
OMG ... how can someone not know Shelly Winters? sm
Poseidon Adventure ...... old days ... A Patch of Blue (Sidney Poitier too) ..... she's an icon.
So sad to see her gone ... sigh
Did you say mild winters? :) Just 8 more years
until my last one graduates and then I'm out of this frozen tundra. It was freezing this morning. By that I mean 32 DEGREES. It's only October 22nd. 
Colorado
I grew up in Southern Colorado. Our family just visited Denver. I have a friend who lives in the suburbs of Denver. All I can tell you is Colorado is beautiful, but be prepared for a much higher cost of living. I don't know where in the south you live, but chances are the cost of liviing is less than in Colo. We have a 200k mortage (In NE Oklahoma). My friends in Colo have a home that is the same square footage and pretty comparable to our home and their mortage is in the low 300's! I know we would not be able to afford a nice home in Colorado and still have all the other extras we have now. Also, be prepared for some bad winters. It snows a bunch in Colorado and it is not fun to get around in! Other than that, Denver (or the suburbs) offers a lot in the way of shopping, entertainment, etc., not to mention the beautiful scenery. Good luck with you decision! 
Hot in Colorado
107 degrees today. Cows starting to give instant milk. Jack rabbits are carrying canteens. It's not any better up north either. Denver up into the 100s also. Snowmen are disappearing in great numbers. Arkansas River is rising because of them.
REALLY REALLY REALLY HOT IN COLORADO!!!
Had to go to the TOP of the Poudre Canyon to go camping and it was still REALLY HOT!

Any Colorado MTs on here? (sm)
DH and I are considering moving to Colorado. Anything you can tell me about how you like it, or not, the people, the climate, attitudes  , would be most helpful! I would like to talk with MTs particularly who are working from home, as I do. Thanks so much!!
P.S. There is not much activity on the states board, as I went there for info first.
Colorado sm
Boulder is a great choice. I would be happy to answer any questions. E-mail if you would like.
Colorado MTs
Where are you located at in Colorado?
2.46/gal in Colorado!
sheesh...I wish it could go down to under $2/gal..that would be awesome!!
Snow in Colorado
It snows more up north than it does out on the southeastern plains near Pueblo. I live there. We really need snow and some moisture. It's been like that for 5 or more years.
Cold in Colorado! ...
Burr is right! I'm in northern/central Colorado, I think it is about 5 degree now with light snow ... but the wind is dying down. Horrible hurricane type winds the last few days. Thanks for mentioning us Coloradans!! :)
Hi, I am from Colorado Springs. sm
I prefer the Denver area, even though I am from the Springs. The Springs is definitely extreme conservative (Bush territory). Very family oriented community. Cost of living is reasonable compared to other areas. The climate is dry and not too cold, despite what most think because it snows. We get sunshine 80% of the year. I work at home as an MT, and did very well income-wise working at one of the local hospitals. I am employed IC now, but still do well. I am not crazy about the Pueblo area. Where are you interested in living?
Colorado MT jobs
Hi - send me your e-mail. Put Denver Medical transcription jobs in Google and you will find a few. Some are a little old, but they may still need people.
Question for Colorado MTs
I'm in a little town called Strasburg. I'm about 35 to 40 miles away from Denver, which is why I would consider the commute, especially if it was required just to get my foot in the door. Lots of people in our little town make that commute all the time, so it's not uncommon, but it's not something I'd necessarily be crazy about!
Thank you all for the kind suggestions. They're very much appreciated!
Question for Colorado MTs
Thank you for your reply, but I have done that. Of the ones I've looked at, I've never found openings for MTs, and when I've called, which is a long-distance call for me, I've often been told that they have a service who does their transcription. I posted this question here hoping for a reply from someone with first-hand knowledge of a hospital that did hire MTs rather than using a service.
Colorado Springs
 It is a great place to live!!! Colorado Springs is about 60 miles South of Denver but we go to Denver every once in a while. I was born in Boulder (Northwest of Denver). The snow may last longer than a day if it is a decent storm, but for the most part it is gone pretty quickly! The air is fresh and clean and crisp. The autumn leaves right now are just beautiful. I moved here from San Diego and couldn't be happier!! If you have any specific questions, you could e-mail me, but I wish you well and say go for it!
Any MTs in the Colorado area?
My husband has a possible job opportunity in the northern Colorado area. I am just wondering if anyone on this board is out in that area? I am wondering what the average pricing is on housing, apartments, etc. Anything really fun to do out there? This would be in the Fort Collins area. Also, what is the usual temperature in the summer and winter, snow fall, etc.
I have found most of this information on-line, but I would much prefer to hear from someone who lives around this area. I would take a personal view over a computer anyday! We live in Florida now, so this would be a HUGE move for our family!
Thanks for any info.
I love Colorado
Is there anything to do? You could spend a lifetime in Colorado and never run out of things to do, that is if you like the outdoors. I live east of Monument just north of Colorado Springs but at a higher altitude than Fort Collins, so it is warmer in Fort Collins in the summer but we get more snow in the winter. Summers get into the high 90s for a high. Winters get a fair amount of snow but are very sunny (and lovely). No dreary winters here! We visited Fort Collins many times when our son attended CSU for 5 years. It would be my second choice of cities to live in throughout Colorado. Don't know about housing prices, but surely not as bad as the Springs where prices are going out of sight. Fort Collins is always in the top 10 cities for retirees because of many factors--reasonable housing, climate, recreation, jobs, etc. I personally would love to live in a big university town like Fort Collins because there is always something going on. Make your first purchase on moving here a pair of good hiking shoes. You will never look back to Florida. The mountains are awesome!
Is there a reason you picked Colorado or was it

Colorado Hospital Jobs
Thank you, MT mom of 3. I'm afraid you're probably right because it's what I've found for the most part. I actually applied at a local service recently and discovered they had some of the hospital transcription, but I ended up not taking the job because they were only going to pay me 0.03 per line for some type of work to do with VR. I don't know the full details, but it seemed as though I'd be editing, and it just didn't sound all that great to me.
once I went to a huge outdoor Colorado BBQ..
Does anyone live in the Denver, Colorado, area? sm
I may possibly be moving there. What can you tell me about it? The school systems do not matter as we no longer have children at home. What areas are nice to live in? I read that when it snows it usually melts the same day....is that true?
Any information from someone who lives there or has lived there would be much appreciated.
TIA
I feel bad for the people in Colorado and Wyoming who had so much wind and cold
weather. This would be worse than a hurricane because if your roof blows off, you are in severe sub-0 temperatures with blowing snow. No way to get any kind of help, and no way to stay warm.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!
HEY YUCK - YOU ARE AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT GETS! LOVE YA MAN!
that is beautiful, thank you....
I am going to email this to my best friend who lost her mother a few years ago. This time of year is always hard for her, as is her mother's birthday. Thank you!!
Beautiful here!
Not to brag - but it is mid 80's, blue skies with little puffy clouds and a nice breeze. Of course, we are in the Pacific NW. Love it here - this is why we left the valley!
Beautiful!
Beautiful MT/ad
Well, I clicked on the link and could not get this ad up - so I missed out on the "beautiful MT". My question here is - are there any really beautiful MTs out there any longer - or are we all overworked, paid too little for our services, expected to do a lot of work that is not connected to the production that we are paid for - and receive little or no benefits or job security. I can tell you after 15 years, I do not feel very beautiful. Would like to hear from those who are "beautiful" and if the procedure to get that way was very painful, as I am contemplating some work.
Thanks so much for this beautiful
prayer. It's exactly what I needed to begin this new day and new year. God bless us one and all.
If you say I am rich and beautiful...will I be?

COLD, 40s, where are you. BEAUTIFUL here in NY.

Can hardly see through the tears here...that was beyond beautiful!!!
Bless you and your wonderful family. What else can I say but...
Peace...out.
Beautiful out today...
Hey RadGuy, hopefully you are out somewhere enjoying the beautiful day here in Lexington. I just got home from going out with me, myself, and I to Johnny Carino's (Hamburg Place) for a wonderful lunch. Then I went to Value City Furniture and spent an hour looking around. I started to go to Office Depot, but I have this thing about computer desks and decided I had better just come on home !!
and it is a beautiful state, but...sm
You ask about attitudes. This is my opinion. I lived there for 4 years in the 1970s, got married in Denver in '79. I found the people somewhat racist against many types of people...maybe that has changed today. I lived in Georgetown, Dumont, and Denver (Glendale and Capital Hill), worked from Loveland Pass way out west in the Rockies to the Bull 'N Bush in Glendale (very east of Denver) when the Broncos went to the Super Bowl, crossing all walks of life. I would hope, today, it has changed for the better. Your Father's Moustache Band was around then and still around today.
Same here, beautiful here in VA 60-70 last 3 days - sm
today we are supposed to get rain and snow, yuk, and back to the cold weather to boot!
Your kitty is beautiful!!! (nm)

Outside weddings can be beautiful...
Don't underestimate this. I had a friend who had a casual wedding (she was not barefoot) but the guys wore blue shirts with khaki pants in a park-like setting with the creek traveling by it. Cut-offs would have been extremely out of place there. Slacks and a casual top would have been okay but I think the best choice is a dress (not exceedingly dressy) and sandles. My experience - one of the prettiest weddings I have ever been to.
Sounds Beautiful
Patti that sounds just wonderful. I'd love to live somewhere like that. I sounds so peaceful and relaxing.
Yes...trust her. It's beautiful! NM

beautiful post, THANK YOU. nm

maybe...(beautiful thoughts) SM
Maybe... we are supposed to meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.
Maybe... when the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the new one which opened for us.
Maybe... It is true that we don't know what we have until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.
Maybe... The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything they have.
Maybe... You should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of and want to do.
Maybe... There are moments in life when you miss someone – a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child – so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.
Maybe... The best kind of friend is one you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word...but when they walk away you feel as if it was the best conversation you've ever had.
< br> Maybe... You should always try to put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other person, too.
Maybe... You should do something nice for someone every single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.
Maybe… Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.
Maybe.. You shouldn't go for looks; they can deceive; Don't go for wealth; even that fades. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.
Wow..beautiful messages...THANK YOU EVERYONE!
I really appreciate you all taking the time to give me some insight. I'm going to hang in there. The one poster was right--I do have PTSD from my old job who stressed me continously about firing me! Sigh..that was a horrible experience and I'm still burned from that. I had never gone through anything like that before. Every job I've ever had, I excelled with it. Well again, THANK YOU!
a beautiful man! plain and simple.
and a great actor.
Denver beautiful town
Granola tree huggers?? Sounds good to me..better than cholesterol artery clogged tree destroyers. My cousin lives in Westminster, another in Estes Park.
If you are so extremely thin and beautiful,
then why are you on this site. Are you a transcriptionist. If you are as beautiful and thin as you say you are, I doubt very seriously that you'd be typing for a living.
