I was disturbed to hear on the 12 o'clock news they will only help Katrina victims who are living with relatives. I think its a SHAME.

Wow! 105 in Virginia!
Is that a record?? It is hot in the West, even moreso than usual. Im ready for it to go away and for the kiddies to go back to school. 
out of Virginia?
If so, don't fool with them, very unorganized and they send contracts that do not pertain to the job offered. They are another company that delights in taking money from you. I was offered QA and turned it down due to the contract.

I lived in Virginia for a while.
I thought it was pretty funny that my ex and his family where always carrying people somewhere. "I have to carry mom over to the store."
We live in Virginia sm
and my daughter heard about it at school. The people it happened to surely told others. BTW, my daughter heard that the spider(s) had laid eggs all over the boy's brain. I did explain to her that wasn't possible, but I can only imagine how this "fish" story will grow.
Dorthy? you mean Virginia? lol

ONE Virginia scenario
SCENARIO: You and your husband jointly own a home, both names are on the deed. You both technically own the home 100%. That's right, 100% plus 100% equals 100%. He has NO WILL, but dies, taking his 100% with him. You are left with 100%. If he dies with NO WILL and your name is not on the deed, the house is divided between you and any children. My grandmother, mean-spirited woman that she was, was widowed. Husband had no will. Grandma had a will, and left $1 to one of her children. However, her name had never been on the deed of the house. So, she really did not have the right to only leave that child $1.00, and when she died, all of her children received equal portions of the estate. Because her name was not on the deed, the house was not 100% hers upon grandpa's death, even though she was legally married to grandpa.
reply to Virginia too about the levy's
The Army Corps of Engineers have grovele, begged & pleaded with the federal goverment fo the last 6 year for more funding to upgrade those levy's. In fact, the first one to breach was the exact one the corps just sent an additional plea to Washington for more money as little as six weeks ago!
It is the City or New Orleans to maintain the levy's and they have done the best job they could with such outdated equipment, but it is the Army Corps of Engineer's overall responsibility, as is every inland waterway in America.
They have likened the despair and anger of the corps to the various CIA/FBI agents who kept telling Washington there was suspicious activity pre-911, that fell on deaf ears.
Not trying to start an issue here, trying to place blame or getting on a political soapbox, just stating fact. for the life of me, I do not understand why there has no been an emergency plan on the table for the type of evacuation that was needed? We have such plans in my neck of the woods for Tornado's or flooding of our waterway's.
Convoy's of buses (provided in a joint effort of the local/state and federal government)lined up "just in case" may have cost the city extra money in overtime/fuel,manpower, etc,but look at the cost now! Those people did not have the money, fuel or four wheels to even make an informed decsion .
There is and will be plenty of blame to carry us into the next century, but now is the time for all of us to unite, to get these people out of that hell hole and to make a promise to our next generations that this will never happen again. Yes, it was an act of nature, but the responses to cries for help was in the hands of our elected officials...all the way around

Montgomery, West Virginia
and longing to go home
Found out laws in Virginia. sm
One-third will go to me and two-thirds will go to kids (remarriage). We can't stand each other, and they will kick me out. Hubby not happy. Have another house but if I'm contributing to household should get to decide what happens to house if he passes, since I live there. He's thinking it over.
Virginia is taking 4000--- some are staying at the Mariot
Nice digs. They are also putting them in camps by the lake.
I know it is nice, but think of what it is like to not have a home.
I would not want to be like this, but it could happen to any of us.
Congratulations! Diana O. of W. Virginia on winning the third dinner!
Send an email to admin@mtstars.com with your full address and your choice of dinner gift card and we will ship it out to you immediately!
Congrats to Donetta from Virginia on winning a $20.00 TVPS gift cert!

May God bless the miners trapped in West Virginia. There is power in prayer. Let's rally MTs!
I'm not talking about roads, bridges, etc.
Roads and bridges, etc., are for the good of EVERONE. What I am talking about is that people are too lazy to lift a finger to help themselves, such as being prepared by filling up some water jugs, stashing a few cans of food, etc. If you buy one extra can of food every time you buy groceries, it would not take long before it would add up, so there is no excuse to not be prepared.
Let's all ditch our keyboards and go pave some roads?..nm
I hear ya! I can't even stand to be out when the roads are crowded anymore! Can often feel like a

Way down here now, but I'm GOING TO THE BEACH!
I have cooked for everyone one in my family and everyone in everyone else's family for the past 30 years (on the nose).
This year my daughter and I are heading east to the beach at a quaint motel with a handful of restaurants. I'm thinking stuffed shrimp this year instead of stuffed turkey!!
You have fun RadGuy!!
Yes! And a beach!
:)
Is there still one in Deerfield Beach?

Try Turtle Beach
Audio Advantage. Essentially it is an external sound card. Plugs into USB port and then your headphones plug into it. I have had one for about a year and cant live without it. My problem is so called "secret" dictators. A lot of my docs think their dictation is a secret or something and talk so low that I simply cannot hear them. The Turtle Beach does wonders for them. There are tons of options to play with that helps clear up noise too. One warning though, it will render your speakers useless and you only have sound through your headphones unless you uninstall it.
Me too!!! The beach is the most relaxing and best!!!
I absolutely love Florida for the same reason, the beach. I'm planning Aruba next year, I simply can't wait!
I did South Beach also -
and lost the tummy area first. I was absolutely amazed how I was never hungry and didn't crave chips, ice cream and chocolate! I found it time consuming preparing the meals, but the results were worth it.
Myrtle Beach.
We stayed at the Royal Garden Resort through Dunes Realty (Dunes.com) and had a great time. It cost us about $800 for the week. It was right on the beach and was within driving distance of anything fun.
Hopes this help.
1.88 yesterday in Va Beach, Va.

cranky beach
I would have to agree with you on the tools. I was semi-retired for six years due to pain syndrome from what they are now calling "repetitive stress syndrome" MT itis is what I called it. LOL
$2.39 for regular in Boynton Beach, FL.

Anyone ever been to Flagler Beach, Florida?
I met my husband of 18 years at the beach.
I was 17 and a Junior in High School when I met the love of my life at the beach. It was wonderful - no alcohol involved and we didn't meet in a bar. We just celebrated our 18th anniversary November 14th, and have two children, a son 16 and a daughter 14.
Myrtle Beach! Nothing to be ashamed of! I would rather go there!!!nm

South Beach Diet
I have had this same problem! I gain too much weight with each pregnancy, then when I finally get it off I have ended up prego again. HA. Well, it won't happen that way again. Anyhow, I did the South Beach Diet between my last 2 kids and lost 54 pounds in just a couple of months (a little over 4). I actually lost my weight in this area first. I am just starting it up again for the same reason, and because I know it works--I have done it before. The first 2 weeks are kind of hard to stick to (at least for me as all my teeth are sweet teeth), but it goes by fast actually and you won't believe when you step on the scale and each day your weight is down and you drop clothing sizes. Just typing this is enough motivation again for me to do it. I didn't exercise the last time and the weight just melted off, so I don't know about any exercises. Good luck to you! :)
South Beach Diet
When I did it the last time they only had the blue book out, now they have cookbooks too and the foods at the store so it will be even easier to stick to. I just bought a treadmill and am sad to say after 15 minutes I am dying! HA.
I have even seen the South Beach books on ebay for cheap. :)
south beach d question
would someone tell me please a few examples of 'good' carbs and 'bad' carbs, and/or what causes them to be good or bad? Thanks.
My friend got married on the beach...sm
They rented this beautiful place for a week for the wedding and the guests - a huge mansion-type place just for them.
They wore white....she wore flowing cotton white, he wore a white shirt and white shorts, they were barefoot (actually everyone was barefoot) with she wearing foot jewelry. These are not youngsters either (in their 50s) but a first marriage for my friend (she never found Mr. Right until she found Mr. Right - so happy for her - she deserves it and more). It was exquisite - everyone else was dressed neat-clean-casual - slacks on women, except for her sister who was Maid of Honor......but it was real casual with the finest of food and drinks :)
I think it's up to the people getting married - never let anyone dictate such a special occasion!!!
North Myrtle Beach
Having lived at Pawley's Island - this is some really pretty country. Get out of the car at the Myrtle Beach Sign in the middle of the highway for some photo ops. Also, for those of you traveling to North Myrtle Beach - please make a short trip (30 minutes with no traffic) down to Pawley's Island and see the Brookgreen Gardens and Hunnington Beach. There are also a lot of "real" little shops at Pawley's Island with real treasures to find - not cheap souvenier stuff. You can watch the weavers make the Original Pawley's Island Hammacks. I know that you are all probably going for either the beach or the golf, but beware that the sewage drains into the ocean up on the Grand Strand and there is usually a daily feces report - so if it is high - don't go into the water. I hope that ya'll have a great time. If you get the chance - try some Shrimp and Grits, frogmore stew and some of the other low country delicacies. You will have a blast. Remember hurricane insurance, too - in case one is headed that way and you don't want to lose your money on your flight and accommodations.
South Beach Diet sm
beel ala orange with brown rice and broccoli, carrots, and bamboo shoots...only thing is, they forgot the brown rice...I am still hungry. yarrr.
Does any one know one with a beach and breaker sounds?
Thanks for sharing. This is the first time I saw something like this.
I use a Turtle Beach device.
It plugs into the back of the computer and enhances the volume as well as the quality of sound. But I needed to get an extender from Radio Shack since it plugs in the back (but if you have any USB jacks in front, that would work too).

kudos to cranky beach
LOL... I just have to say this cranky beach...... with that nickname I would not have thought you to be so helpfulllllll....LOL You are just a peach of a person to be taking your time to help...and for that I send you mucho kudos......thanks....even though it is not me you are helping here.
Very nice, quiet, family beach
except for the biker bars (which are really kinda fun!). Small local market in the square on Friday. Nice beach, good restaurants, close to Daytona and St. Augustine if you are looking for more action.
A little cool for swimming IMHO, but with good weather it's nice to dig your toes in the replenished beach.
The beach, anywhere. Warm and sunny and lots of fun!
But, Niagara Falls is always beautiful no matter what time of year. It's actually cheaper to stay there in the winter than the summer.
You gotta pick anywhere where you can just focus on each other and let the world go on without your for a night, a couple days, a weekend, maybe a week (yeah right) whatever.
South Beach sounds good - sm
I have actually bought some of the South Beach foods at the grocery store and really like them. Did you buy the book or what did you go by when you started South Beach? I don't have a treadmill anymore, but do have an elliptical machine...I wonder about that? Thanks for your information....
we've gone to Ocean City or VA Beach (sm)
We're looking to maybe going to Idlewild Park for 2-3 days (taking a long weekend) this year.
Look at Audio Advantage by Turtle Beach
It is a USB thing that looks like a flash drive and it bypasses the sound card. It has lots of settings to adjust to improve sound. I got it and didn't think it made much difference, but then didn't use it for a couple of days and realized that it did make a difference. I got mine at Best Buy for about $30. There have 3 different levels and I think Audio Advantage is the middle one (which was the only one they had at Best Buy). You can Google Audio Advantage by Turtle Beach and probably find their website.
Creative is a good brand of sound card and likely it isn't the sound card that is the problem, just poor quality dictation. The USB thing above will help, but if you don't have good dictation to work work, you can only do so much. If you don't have them also try noise-cancelling headphones. They are rather pricey, though can probably get a good pair for about $60 or less on sale, and they make a significant difference too.
Myrtle Beach is a GREAT place for a vacation
get South Beach Diet book or see online..sm
