I do walk around my house, but there is an elderly woman who lives below me and I get worried that she hears my foot steps pacing. I have a fan blowing on me, and keeping it cold to keep me awake. Maybe a cold glass of water and some sit ups. Problem with sit ups is I bet if I lie on the floor, I won't sit up, I'll fall asleep!!! Thanks for the idea, though. I wish I were not a chicken to go outside.

Met him in the apartment complex I lived in.
We were just friends for about a year and a half. I was newly divorced and not ready to have a relationship, but we became great friends. Here we are 11 years later - happy, happy, happy!!!!
At my apartment complex, our post boxes are
in a large mail kiosk and I can sort my mail right there, open everything and throw away all trash before ever getting back in my car or walking back to my apartment. Anything unnecessary never makes it to (1) my purse (used to be a bad habit of mine), (2) my car (used to be another bad habit of mine), or (3) my apartment. It really is amazing how much paper is wasted on advertisements that I'm not even interested in, envelopes, etc.
It can be very stressful to have all that stuff staring at you on the desk, demanding more of your time.
I also live in an apt complex and plan to deduct
75% of my ISP, 100% of my ULD and I am considering 50% of my utilities (haven't decided on that one yet).
The reason I won't file for paying taxes is this. I live in a large apartment complex. Most of the complex is located within city limits, but I live in the back part which is actually located in what is considered as incorporated county. So, you can see that the property management pays a different tax rate for the majority of its property from the location of my apartment and because I cannot hand the IRS a statement showing I paid XXX amount in property tax, I will only claim the square footage...something I can prove in writing by printing out the floor plan, taking pictures of the office, and having a copy of the lease.
I hate wireless internet. I live in an apartment and
trying to get it to stay connected it almost impossible.
Yes, 13.50 wouldn't rent you a studio apartment where I live. And agree

That chicken looks good, too! Fried chicken is the one thing
I'm terrible at making. I just can't do it. Whenever we do have fried chicken maybe once a year, I buy the frozen boxed stuff or KFC.
I haven't thought about dinner yet. I'm making muffins today, spiced applesauce muffins, Tabor City yam bread muffins, and banana zucchini muffins. Going to send some to work with hubby and freeze the rest for breakfasts.
Complex question as others have
but obviously government policy has a direct impact on this. If you give tax cuts to billionaires while cutting basic services such as Medicaid, Headstart, etc., to the poorest what else can be expected?
Excerpt from article in link below:
"But after a decade of improvement in the 1990s, poverty in America is actually getting worse. A rising tide of economic growth is no longer lifting all boats. For the first time in half a century, the third year of a recovery (2004) also saw an increase in poverty. In a nation of nearly 300 million people, the number living below the poverty line ($14,680 for a family of three) recently hit 37 million, up more than a million in a year."

Why didn't you go through the apartment with them?
We go through the apartment with the tenant that is leaving, if at all possible. This leaves no margin for error.
We also state in our lease that all carpets MUST be professionally shampooed upon leaving. Maybe that wasn't in your lease but it is kind of gross not to do this. A vacuum doesn't pick up the 'real' crud.
It's a shame this happened to you but I'd be sure to be there when the inspectors go through, just in case something like this occurs.
Apartment questions
Hey, I'm back on the apartment scene, but this time with three little ones. I was told when I moved in that there was a pregnant girl living alone upstairs from me. Okay, fine. Well, in fact, it's her, a 2 yo, and a man. Manager and staff must not be aware of all of them and that seems dangerous to me as we were warned to tell of anyone who would be staying chronically. I assumed in case of fire or other emergency.
Anyway, she is a stomper. I realize that she is pregnant and/or may just be a heavy walker, but she is up at 6 am and doesn't go to bed until midnight. She does not work. I am trying my darndest to get my typing done while my kids are napping and in bed for the night. The stomping has a tendency to be a distraction while I'm working. It's also keeping my kids from relaxing. No sleep = no work. I think she takes the baby to daycare because he isn't there all day, just her and she moves around constantly from room to room. I am doing a very good job of keeping our noise level way down for other tenants. Oh and, Ugh, I haven't even gotten to the worst part. My 4 yo daughter and I share a room and my son and other daughter also share a room. My bedroom is directly below the neighbor's. You guessed it, wild s-e-x anywhere from 11 pm to midnight when she retires. Loud moaning and groaning with wall banging, etc. It continues to wake us all. Thankfully, my children haven't asked about it. They just stir and go back to sleep. She is very entitled to her private life, but it seems to be more of a performance to me. She may not know I and other can hear her, but common sense would seem to dictate that if she can hear others, they can hear her. What would you all do? I have seen her face to face and she commented on my having 3 kids. I don't want to tell on her to the manager here. That's bad form, plus she could get nuts on me and I don't want that. I figure we'll get used to the stomping. Ugh, again, I'm going in circles. Should I just get over it? My church friends say I should bang on the ceiling during her nightly romps. That's seems in bad taste also. I just don't know. Geez, this is my only beef right now. That's huge for me. Thanks. 
B6 complex. I would also recommend splinting at night.
I found that it really helps me not to bend my wrist and also not to put any pressure on it. I have had surgery for CT, but before surgery my orthopod recommended 15 minute soaks, hot, cold, hot. Try putting a standard size bed pillow in your lap and putting your keyboard on that. The pillow cushions so your wrist isn't taking such a banging with typing, plus it also gives you a cushion for your wrist instead of an edge on a wrist rest. I also find that I sit straighter with my back pressed against the chair typing this way which helps with stress on back and shoulders.
A "home" can be an actual house or an apartment. So,
to answer your question, you CAN say YES you rent a home.
I seriously doubt that type of work is as complex as medical reports.

Heck, coding is complex, but definitely FINITE and physically non-demanding. sm
Typing can get to you, physically. And coding has SO many resources, catalogs, books, online resources. Once you understand the concepts and rules, it's kinda like playing a card game, and not that difficult. I think MT is way more demanding, mentally.
Sorry! missed the part about apartment and elderly woman below you
So I'm thinking the jumping jacks and/or the exercise video aren't the greatest tips. How about an exercise bike?
why no, i don't live in snobville. did you think you knew me? i live in heritage hills a suburb
it takes a little longer to get to work and shopping but thank god i have some privacy and am away from the congestion. lovely trees and lakes all around. maybe about 20 minutes to a large shopping mall. but no, i don't even know where snobville is.
why yes the quality of air where i live is quite different than where the city people live.
Lots of pollution. That's why everyone is moving away from the city and areas zoned for multiple housing units and low income housing and trailer parks. Population is dense and near manufacturing. So yes, the air is different but millions of people pay a little extra for the quality, the space and privacy afforded to those who move out of polluted crowded areas such as you defend. There is always a reason why some areas and housing is cheaper than others. Maybe it is the air and maybe it's something you can't quite put your finger on but you know you would prefer not to live in certain areas. You know what I mean or are you living in one of those areas? They tell after awhile you block out the sounds, the smells and get used to the pollution. I don't know. I didn't stay long enough to test the theory. My mental and physical health is way too important to me.
I know they live a long time, so if there is a chance they will out live you - sm
make sure you make provisions for them in your will. I have only had cockatiels and some finches, so don't really know anything about the bigger birds. I love African Grey's but they are very expensive.
Live and let live. Don't force your lifestyle on me.

I used to live in MN now I live in MS and they were both cold last night!
Will take MS cold over MN cold any day, and I don't miss the snow. I miss the Mall of America, though!
I live in PA, can I help? If they are close to where I live, I would go check them out for ya!
Where in PA is this company?
You must live where I live. I ran into the same sort of SM
situation when I was the president-elect of the local chapter and the VP-elect of the state chapter. I bailed out. There was no fighting it.
LOL! Don't live in NH. Live in ConnectiTAX. LOL NM

chicken pox
Poor child, I had the same; I couldn't swallow - even my saliva hurt going down.
As I recall, that lasted about 3-4 days.
Chicken Fat
http://www.clubcourtyard.com/ChickenFat.html
Whole chicken. sm.
I like to bake mine whole too. I put a full can of beer inside the cavity (up its butt sorta speaking), but then I cook it in one of those Reynold's cooking bags about 20 minutes per pound. It falls off the bone. Sometimes they have specials where I live where you can get them for only 29 and 39 cents a pound. I buy 3 or 4 then.
I have a chicken dog too :)
My dalmation is so afraid of storms. She tries to crawl under my desk when it thunders and just shakes. If I pet her for a while she will calm down. The other day we had a storm and I was doing dishes and she tried to crawl under my kitchen sink, knocking everything out. She also hates the vacuum and the hose. I don't know that I would give her medication. That may be more trying for her than the occasional storm. Maybe letting her in your office might help if you see it is going to storm. A few treats never hurt either!
Chicken Little
Yea. The sky is still there, but my pay/money is gone!!!!! Where'd it go??!
CHICKEN LITTLE
quit trying to stir up trouble and GO away!!! I make 52K a year TRANSCRIBING but 30 years experience -- newbies WANT the dinero but dont want to work for it -- try watching Oprah and Dr. Phil and you will understand -- LAZY work ethic "hand it to me cause I deserve it"
Each state has different laws. Where I live, if I have clients in the same state I live in, yes I ne
have clients from another state, no I do not need a license. Every state is different. I checked with my attorney and the State Business offices.
Chicken pox in the mouth
I'd be calling my doc asap with it being in her mouth. The home remedy I had to use was Maalox/Benadryl and doc added diluted Xylocaine to numb it. My dd had it on her uvula also. Made a concotion of yogurt with the above also and added Lysine to it to. That is after the doc had a look at her. Good luck but don't mess around.
Um, chicken, not chick.
chicken recipe
The recipe says 2 toss of garlic. Is it suppose to be 20 toes of garlic since you call this 20-garlic chicken? Thanks for your help.
20 garlic chicken. sm
At the risk of sounding dumb - are you supposed to use two whole actual things of garlic. Garlic has always confused me. The recipe sounds wonderful but two whole garlic or two segments of one garlic thingy?

Anyone eat chicken a la king?
Chicken a LA King Recipe
3 tablespoons butter
1 cup fresh sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 cups evaporated milk or half-and-half
1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 cups diced cooked chicken
1/4 cup chopped pimiento
Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Add mushrooms and green pepper; cook for 5 minutes. Blend in flour, salt, and pepper. Continue stirring and cooking until smooth and bubbly. Gradually add milk and chicken broth, stirring constantly. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. If you'd like a thicker sauce, blend 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 1/4 cup cold water; add to sauce, a little at a time, until desired thickness is reached. Cook for a few more minutes. Add chicken and pimiento; heat through. Serve on toast points or pastry shells or rice. Chicken a la King Recipe serves 6 to 8.
Never had anything but chicken livers and

Sometimes I do boneless chicken
breasts marinated in barbecue sauce. Just put them in on low and let them cook all day long. They come out so tender that they just fall apart!! Also, pork tenderloin is excellent in the crockpot. You can buy them pre-marinated at the grocery store or you can mix up your own concoction. Boneless chicken breast is also excellent if you use Newman's Own Balsamic Vinegrette salad dressing as a marinade. I know it may sound strange, but I guarantee you if you try it, you'll fall in love with it!
We all know she's really having fried chicken. LOL!
