Lake Champlain "cabin" 5 feet from the water, across

In Reply to: Poll: What is the best vactation you have ever been on? Where and - what did you do?
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.

Water here, too. I fill water bottles halfway and freeze them
so I have ice water for the entire day. It's easier than trying to cram ice cubes down the little mouths of the bottles. I confess to having coffee, Earl Grey tea and a cola today because I'm too tired from the idiots who were rodding their cars around in front of the house from midnight until 3:00 a.m. last night. Oh, well. At least I'm off today.
One of the years we did this, we rented this HUGE "cabin"
it was one of the best times ever. The kids rooms were bare boards and bunks, and the kitchen was bare boards and a pump for water, and we cooked on the fireplace. The air was nippy, and the forests were all piney, and the sky was clear and the water gorgeous. We found little crabs and animals in the rock crevices, clams. I would go there again in a minute. No electronics, no noise. Gorgeous.
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.
absolutely perfect 73 in Lake Stevens, WA NM

Does anyone know anything about the Greenwood Lake area of New York?
.
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!
Perfect here - Lake Stevens (just outside of Seattle) 72 degrees. NM

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.

Six-Feet Under
I was totally stunned - can't believe it.
Six feet under
I KNOW!!! We were all sitting there with our mouths about hitting the floor. We could not believe it.
Please, please, no more on Six Feet Under
It's killing me not to read these posts. I "Tivo'd" it and haven't watched it tonight. That's what I look forward to on Monday nights. What will I ever do when it goes off???
what did you think of the Six Feet Under
It seemed a little rushed at the ending. I was also expecting to cry or get emotional or get shocked like I usually do. It was very mundane and the ending was rushed. Looks like everyone died exactly the same way, except the gay boyfriend.
Six Feet Under...
 Quit acting like an ostrich and pull your head out of the sand. Pick up the paper some time and read it or tune into the news when you can fit it into your busy schedule because it's really important for you to know what's going on in our world today. Of course, your other alternative is to keep doing what you're doing, with your head stuck firmly in the sand, thinking companies are paying bucco bucks/line rates in today's world economy.
Pes can also mean feet.
Or footlike part.
Six feet under drama
Nate sure left a mess, so far they've bad mouthed the Iraq war, fantasized brother and sister romance (shudders), where else will they go? Who's going to be a goner in the finale, I feel its coming. They've set it up where anyone can either off themselves or do something crazy and accidentally die.
yes frostbite of his feet
Thank you... I started laughing about the word because it sounded like tiny penis cured with cream.. and just can't concentrate now so I'm taking a break...lol
cold feet
I bought a cheap electric heater and run it pointing towards my feet.
Only one here, but it is 9 feet tall...
and it takes my 6'8" husband to help decorate near the top. Merry Christmas to all.
Best Buy does it too- was 2 feet from the door, guy saw me pay, still had - sm
to show my receipt, which I had already put away in my wallet. Pain in the butt!
crow's feet...
I am beginning to notice crow's feet around my eyes  ...help! Any advice on a good eye cream to help prevent these from getting any worse would be sooo appreciated!
swollen feet
I had swollen ankles/feet last year and found out it was my high blood pressure medication causing it, so was switched to another, but then developed a cough, so then switched to Benicar with no problems. Sometimes medications can cause the feet and ankle swelling. My doctor also suggested getting up every 1/2 hour and walking around as all this sitting just does a number on our bodies. Epsom salt soak will help also. Mine occurred during the hot summer months.
RE: swollen feet
Mine swell, too. The only thing I can think of is to drink plenty of water throughout the day and walk around a bit when you can. Also, during your lunch break, prop your feet up. If you soak them, use tepid water, rather than hot.
I warm my feet.
When my hands are cold, I warm my feet. Not sure why that works, but it does! I have an electric heating pad under my feet (type barefoot or in my socks) and it warms me up. I also have a blanket I crocheted and that helps too.
Hair and feet
My feet swell a lot after sitting all day, so I also make sure I get up for at least 5 minutes every hour and stretch. I stretch my arms, shoulders, legs, etc. and walk around to get some circulation going. This does help.
My eyes started going too, so when the headaches were everyday, even just glancing at the monitor, I knew it was time to make the visit to the eye doctor. I found an excellent doctor close by my house that knew what he was doing, as I had been to another doctor that screwed me. There is such a thing as "computer glasses" and the doc spent much time with me asking questions on what I do, how close to the monitor, etc. The first day of using my new glasses, no headaches! I had visited the other doctor and was told I had "computer glasses" but after showing them to the new doc, he said they were nothing but regular glasses with not even a prescription in them.
For your hair falling out, I have scalp psoriasis, so when my stress level increases, my hair falls out even more. I have been under tremendous stress lately and actually have handfuls at once coming out. I have been to the doc, had all the tests done to make sure it wasn't thyroid or anything strange. I would suggest you see your doc and make sure of that too and go from there.
Best of luck!
Typing with feet up sm
There were many times when I could have used this advice, would love to see some pics. How I have suffered over the years with tapes! Things are getting better and it's important to take care of our legs or we could get DVT. My PT suggested sitting on a balance ball which she said a whole insurance company does. I was petrified of the balance ball at first but it really is something you can get used to. (I never did use it for work.) I also have seen pics of people working on a treadmill, standing with the laptop on a raised platform. In my younger days I think I could have done this and remained much healthier. Where there is a will there is a way. How I wish some of these options would have been available to me during the years I suffered with winding tapes, sitting for hours and in pain. Just when things are getting better -- along comes outsourcing! Perhaps things will change for the better for the newcomers, I sure hope so. Please keep posting your new ideas, there is a better way. After all, we survived electric typewriters, carbon paper and White Out! Keep on keeping on! I love the idea of working in a recliner, how much better for our backs, just be sure to get up and walk around and exercise now and then to keep the circulation going.
I have a cat who dashes in front of my feet
I'm thinking of using one of my dogs squeaky toys to get his attention when he cuts me off again, that will show him!
that one surely has both feet in their mouth right now.
When someone points a finger its usually to make themself feel more powerful, sad and unhappy person. Honey, all came here the same way, we came from dirt and are going back to dirt. You keep being strong, raise those babies the best you can and be proud you don't have the mentality of the person making such a crud statement.
The storm surge of 28 feet is said what will cause
There are many people who have remained in their homes as they are poor, disabled or quite elderly.
Hard to imagine how they would expect 485,000 people could evacuate in one day.
Yes, have been there, too. It is so historic and a great vacation place.
If the predictions come true, this city may require rebuilding.
I just cannot believe the magnitude of this event. I shudder at the thought of what tomorrow with bring.
You could do what I do and put a heating pad on low over your feet as you pedal.

My doggy likes to lie on my feet
while I am typing, the trouble is he messes up my foot pedal.
Oh yes, my new favorite show since Six Feet Under went off
nm
My feet don't touch the ground so I
When I sit in my chair, my feet don't even touch the ground, because I need my chair height to be such that I am not looking up at the screen.
I have big platform sandals that I use. They are great. One on each foot. You can move your feet around, but they are nice and high from the ground, like a movable foot stool.
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance!
I JUST WANT TO PRAISE HIM - your post made me misty, thank God for you!
Definitely SATC, Friends, and also Six Feet Under.
I still watch SATC reruns every night and I really want the DVD collection, but it costs about $200 for the whole thing. I'd have to say my favorite is Carrie. I didn't always agree with her choices, but I saw more of myself in her than any of the others.
Loved Six Feet Under and I really miss that show, though I am getting into HBO's new show, Big Love.
I actually still watch Seinfeld reruns a lot, too! I do like Julia Louis-Dreyfuss in her new show, The New Adventures of Old Christine.
1000 square feet?
I can't imagine living in such a cramped space! Why, our master bedroom suite alone is 850 square feet!
Try switching feet? For the life of me
I can't seem to get the hang of using the footpedal with my left foot .... no coordination there at all!
To the poster with foot problems, you might check with podiastrist ... maybe you have plantar fasciitis or a bone spur?
My MTSO says its cause they are FEET doctors. lol

Laying down on the floor with my feet on the

Switch feet temporarily (sm)
It can be done. Takes a little bit to get used to, though. I did it several years ago for a heel spur. Now I have pain in my foot pedal knee, so I went back to the other foot, and it was like no problem. Now I'm foot ambidextrous.
WATER and MORE WATER

A water gun would and should get a kid SM
disciplined, IMO. It's a toy and should stay home and not come to school.
At my grandson's daycare they get kicked out for making guns out of Legos! No guns in school anywhere, any time, any shape, form or fashion.
Lord, we made bazookas out of big sticks, rifles out of smaller ones, and handguns out of little bent ones. Then we proceeded to kill each other all over the place - the difference is that we didn't do it when we grew up.
Ok, Six Feet Under fans, did you catch it last night?
I'm sad.
Yup - 80 lb golden retriever loves to lay right at my feet. sm
She also likes to lay right at my chair, so when I roll it, I am always on her tail or something. She drives me crazy too. She has to be everywhere I am. Love her to death tho! Don't want to be without her.
