New York City, New York

PA - Pittsburgh area is one locale, Philadelphia area also.
TriState area - PA, NJ, DE.
just drive it into a lake

Just saw The Lake House
It was a little confusing but I realy enjoyed it. My husband fell asleep...yeah, so much for a romantic evening with my hubby!
Lake George NY has the best...


     Hypertype is EXCELLENT!!!  


Mine was also Vermont, on a different lake, and I was 4.
- Lake Memphremagog

We stayed in cabins on the lake, and and there were loft bedrooms for the kids that could only be reached by ladders. My aunt and uncle and two of their kids were there. It was my favorite vacation ever, and I was four years old.
Smith Mountain Lake!!!
Just outside of Roanoke, Virginia - the MOST relaxing place on Earth.

Our family has been going to Smith Mountain for over 40 years!

Right now only 5 days at Lake Gaston in VA - sm
but thinking about a week going to Niagara Falls, its our 10-year anniversary this month and we went there for our honeymoon. I thought it might be nice to go back there, maybe in August, with the kids. Gas will be pricey at $300 I expect, and hotel about $800 for 5 nights/2 rooms at the B&B we stayed at, but have not run it by my DH as yet. Got a lot going so it seems right now; are taking at least two 4-day weekend trips up to PA to go to Hershey Park and Dutchwonderland though, so that may be enough as we need to save now to go back to Disney next summer, so Niagra may have to wait another 2 years!
Well, its a nice size big lake, but not too
big. You have your competing sides of the lake. Basically half of it is in NJ, and other half in NY. As far as I know, its rather a depressed area - not much in the way of work up there, so lots of low to low middle income people. But, that said, they are a very warm community - I lived on both sides, Hewitt, which is NJ side, in a tiny log cabin that was like fairy land. It was so cool. Unpaved road and little cabins in the mountain. Very dangerous roads in winter all around the lake, lots of fatal accidents. Sorry! Big attraction up there were a few bars/clubs scattered around border of lake. So lots of late night DUIs and accidents. That's about all that anybody did up there was drink! Literally. And most of us were bartenders, waitresses, etc. However, tourism really bottomed out up there, so again, times are tough. Great buys on houses, though, if you work out of area. Mahwah I believe is within commuting. Don't know much about schools, but would guess they are so/so. I believe West Milford might be the NJ school district. They definitely don't have their own schools, last I looked! New York side very depressed area - Monroe is nice and close by. Again, if you personally have $$, it would be a great place to buy a nice house on the lake. Boating galore, but sort of crowded. Great ice skating in winter. Very much a small town atmosphere - very rustic and tough in winter. I loved it there, but again there was no income other than restaurant industry. Back then I did not transcribe! Good luck to you! From another Lori!
Canyon Lake is gorgeous. We go there
to go swimming a lot. My grandparents had just bought some land out in Burnet right before they died and had about 35 acres. It is gorgeous out there too. If I moved, I am pretty sure we would move further North in that area....probably close to Austin, but on some land.

OMG - I have been wanting to go to Lake Tahoe for some time now!!! Tell me more......sm
where did you stay, how fun was it?

I want to go and just chill, do some fishing and boating, and fine dining.....

Good for you....I am so jealous right now!

York, PA here. Hi to the both of you!

Perfect here - Lake Stevens (just outside of Seattle) 72 degrees. NM

Lake Champlain "cabin" 5 feet from the water, across
The water was so clear, you could canoe out from the shore 30-40 feet and still see bottom. When storms came up, the whole lake turned GREEN. Gorgeous, cold water, GREAT canoeing and hiking and tennis. Great forests.

I have finished my MT course and I am waiting for my results, hopefully this week. I live near Glens Falls, New York, and was wondering if there was anyone here who was from my area. I would love to hear from anyone in the vicinity. Elsie
My New York relatives used to rag on me:

and say when I visited, "She's from Massatoothetts where they thay 'Pahk the cah in Havaad Yaad.' "   (Note: My relatives have no teeth, hence the lisp.)


Cue the banjo's.


I LIVE IN NEW YORK, BUT...SM

right now work as a ful-time employee status.  Do I understand your post to mean that I, as a New York resident, cannot work as IC if I chose to?  Thx.

Stephanie from PA: I've been to York sm
to the H-D assembly plant a few years ago.  Loved the area there and the proud people working for H-D.  So sad to see the demise of the jobs in the PA steel mills and the loss of jobs in the American auto industry to foreign manufacturers.  Very sad, indeed.  I come from a manufacturing area, now virtually ghost towns with just service jobs left.

Send this or your own letter.  Let us know if anyone gets a response.
No way, in New York or CA you can't live on $11.50 an hour.
I understand your message and get what you are saying; however, it is literally impossible to live on $11.50 an hour in those two states, and probably a few others. You can't even get a 1 bedroom studio apartment for less than $1500 a month, not including utilities, then food, clothing, and other bills. Sorry, can't do it.


Hi Ella! I'm from New York City

I grew up in NYC..   multicultural, diverse,  many different neighborhoods. I love NYC  . Rude New Yorkers are a stereotype.   All kinds of people here.  Visit it sometime.


Love your posts, though... ths is an MT board - active, retired, former, and anyone who's thinking about becoming one.


Let me add to a good marriage, a cup of coffee while sitting on a deck overlooking a lake at 6 in
the morning - good English-speaking doctors who do a very long pulmonary consult who speaks so well that I have left absolutely no blanks and whose report gave me approximately 150 lines in just under a half an hour.  Oooh, how I dream I could have a guy like this all day!
Saugatuck, MI is great dog friendly place if you want to go N. Try Lake Shore Reality. Google em.

came from Iowa?  I don't think Guy will win..thats too easy.  It better NOT be that snotty Carissa..that is one show I'd NEVER watch.  I like the "Iowa" guy.
Gee, wish all these newyorkers would meet on the New York State board. It gets lonely up here.

okay, york hospital said they had delivery records, but no prenatal records. sm
they had no idea who she practiced with or anything like that and of course SIL doesn't know any name other than Freundel. i am also a midwife besides being an MT and in order for me to take her given her bicornuate uterus, i have to have her records. i guess delivery records is better than nothing, LOL, but i have to have her prenatal records. i wonder if there is a clinic there or something that med students rotate through. i couldn't even find ms. freundel on AMA, but she may not be through with her training yet either and that is probably why.
I live in Houston on Lake Houston - (sm)
Kingwood and Humble school districts.  We are pretty much in the country where we are, but only about 15 minutes but shopping, 30 minutes to downtown, so you can have both good schools AND country living, or closer in, more like city.  In regard to the other poster, I have heard that Cy-Fair is a good school district, one of the best, so I hear - the only problem with living out there is that it is on the west side of Houston and is highly populated, and traffic is horrendous.  Even on a Saturday morning, it can take you 15 minutes to go 2 miles. 
Is DSL not available in your area?
It's worth it to have it.  It's tax deductible as a business/work expense.  It's only about $35 a month here total, compared to $20 a month for dial-up.  It's so much faster, more reliable and easier to use than dial-up.  It also doesn't tie up your phone line like dial-up does, so no need for a second phone line and no getting bounced off the Internet when someone calls while you're trying to work.  I'd still have it even if I couldn't write it off on my taxes.
I'm in the D/FW area and we have taken in several ...
and Dallas is making sure the children are in school, there are special job fairs to make sure the adults get jobs, even though our economy was terrible to start with, companies are making jobs for them, and every one that is interviewed says they are never going home and making their home here in Dallas/Fort Worth. I know they need places to say, what happened to them is terrible, but this area really did not need the strain of all the added people. Several of the people have been offered new housing back in their state or such, but they say they do not want to move again. I just think everyone needs to be looking at the big picture as to what is going to happen in the long run, as New Orleans is going to need some of their residents to come back and help rebuild. I have a son that has been looking for a job for over a year in the field he went to school for and has had no luck and now he has to compete against 1000s more people. I just don't get it.
If you have one in your area, may I
They are a corporation who apparently does give a rat's a** about its employees. They don't give their top people big bonuses, etc. and instead pay their employees a living wage...a REAL living wage and have one of the best reputations for treating their employees like real human beings from all I've read about them.
See if this is in your area

bay area MT
Since you mentioned you were also from CA, I was wondering if you have seen much about relocalization and eating local? I have read a lot about this and try to only purchase goods that are produced within 100 miles of my home in the South Bay or if not available within that radius, only from our state. I have also started my own vegetable garden growing different types of squash, lettuce, spinach as well as others in addition to fruit. Everything I am growing is either from seed that is not genetically modified and is organic or I purchased from the nursery from organic growers. My housemate is suprised at how much variety we have with our container gardening. She was just saying this morning that she never realized how easy it was to grow things yourself.

Another thing to support your local farmer is to sign up for a CSA. They had an article not too long ago about how organic goods really wanted by consumers, but even though these goods are organic, they are being brought from different parts of the world, which kind of kills the organic goodness considering you are expending oil to deliver it.

As for offshoring of our work, I have found since I moved to CA getting close to a year ago that there seem to be a lot of companies who do not offshore and will not consider it a consideration. I think there is hope:)
bay area MT . . . sm
You see, I am right!!! They also had an article not too long ago about what the true savings from offshoring work has come out to. Instead of getting the 50% to 60% or more most places advertise to cut costs, the only real savings has been around 20%. They had an article about that in our local paper as well as I think I saw it on Yahoo News if anyone wants to search for it.
What area are you in because....
I had to fight to get $1.35 per minute IC directly from a hospital and was told that was the average.  I recently did some math and figured I was being paid between 8-9 cents per line.  I get 10 for a PT IC position.  Trying to figure if I should ask for more again, especially since I get several different doctors now that they use hospitalists.
Is this in the KC area?
I'm from a town just north of KCMO and plan on moving back in a few months and was just wondering if you worked for one of the hospitals there? I currently work for a national, but am hoping to get a local job when I move back.
None in my area.
Many are mad at this organization because of their stand on things. I am not happy with them at all.
if it's available in your area
This may be getting off topic here but there are some states which have monetary assistance (moolah to you and me) for small small businesses (SSBs). It is the same as first-time homebuyer money, which is aimed to get people into homes who otherwise wouldn't have the downpayment money. But you take classes, come up with a business plan, and I don't know what all else. I was in the homebuyers program for 1-1/2 years, taking classes, working on perfecting credit, etc, and eventually got 10K. In some of my monthly classes there were small small business people participating for state money for starting a business. You will, of course, have to check in your area. Just a thought!
In our area .. Cingular has that
Check cingular.com
Are their any IC in the Tampa, FL area?

Just wondering if there were any other IC in the Tampa/Brandon area, and do you think line rates are cheap around here?? 


 


not sure of the prices in your area

..but gas here is $2.73 (cheap stuff) 


Home prices have gone through the roof here.  We sold our home last year for 250, and we bought it 2 yrs prior for 170.  In our area, homes sell before they even make it to the MLS listings. 


I am an IC and have no problem finding work.  I have actually turned away 2 offices last week.


Oh, health insurance, may not want to hear this one--we pay 200. per week for a family of four.


I live in the Tampa area.


Best of luck,


Sunny!


I can REALLY relate to you in one area...
My DH is a high school principal, however, we purposely and specifically moved to a different town so that our children would not have to go to school where their Dad works.  Our oldest (a senior this year) did her freshman year at the same high school, and then we moved.   Some kids were very rude, saying mean things about her dad within ear shot so that she would hear, and kids telling her that some senior was "looking for her" because he was mad at her dad.  As far as lying... I think you might try teaching her a lesson about lying.  Tell her you're going to get her a car and then when the day comes to go get it, you can say "oops, I was lying, we're not getting a car."  In other words, show her what being lied to make a person feel like.  She can know that you're doing it in order to teach her a lesson, and that she just might never know when you're lying or telling the truth.  She will soon realize what she is doing to you and what it's like to live with a liar.  My DD is very honest and we havn't had any troubles with her, but I've got 2 more coming up so who knows what's in store for me there.  There but for the Grace of God go I, so I will not boast about the one well-behaved teenager that I have raised.  Sometimes in spite of everything we do, and the best upbringing, some kids just make poor choices.  Hang in there.  I now know why God invented menopause. Can you imagine what these people having babies at 45 have in store for them in their 60s?  They're NUTS!
