weather
I live in the Ohio Valley, it's like this all the time here. A few days ago, no coats, this morning 1 inch of snow. I gave up ever switching out winter/summer clothing a long time ago.
weather
what state are you in? I am in Texas and it was 81 here yesterday and this morning at 10 it was 28. No wonder we are all sick! But I love this cold!
weather
I hate it too! By the way, are you in texas?
weather
 Really nice here, a little on the warm side for me - 85 degrees in Dallas!
Texas weather
We haven't hit 100 yet, but i'm sure it is in the near future. Thank God I'm not in arizona!
Same here. The weather outside is gorgeous, though.
I have almost everything caught up around the house now. Gee, should I go clean something else or read a book outside?
tired of this weather
i never thought i would say it, but it is just too hot for me. It has been high 90s here all summer and humid. It usually isnt this hot here. I want fall to come with some high 50 to low 60 degree weather. CANT WAIT. I need cozy days and comfort foods!
During warm weather I do (sm)
but when it's cold my fingers shrink and my rings start spinning around! That's when they come off.
Thanks Patti! How's the weather in OR? I sure

Oregon weather
It is cold in the morning but dry and sunny throughout the day up to about 50. Beautiful on the river. Know that our wet weather is coming soon though. Gotta run and make deliveries.
At least you have beautiful weather most of the year. nm

How's the weather in Bangalore? usually stops them in their tracks
When a US rep of SBC called to try to get me to switch my cable service for their high-speed interent, I told them no, I don't willingly deal with companies who have all their customer service "help" offshore. She pointed out that I probaby pay more to use my local cable service. Yes, I agreed, I do pay more...and I talk to people in my community and can even go talk to them in person if I want to.
But asking how the weather is in Bangalore is a nice way to break the ice with someone at a call center in India. Weather reports are definitely not part of their scripts.
And with this awful bitter cold weather
going ballistic on the drivers when they do return!
we have had beatiful weather here in Santa Clara
funny how the weather varies depending on what part of the Bay you live in :)
Even here in NY it's beautiful today, no cold weather this week.
You know what they say, if you don't like the weather in Ky - wait 5 minutes, it'll change - i
nice to see rain and maybe they will release our water restrictions, of course, now I don't need to water my lawn but maybe washing my car would be nice.
How's the weather where U are? Pouring cats & dogs in San Francisco....
 ..... guess it's time to think about building an ARK! 
We have such gorgeous weather here today, Easter Sunday!
What about where you are?!
Yep, we live in cold climate too. Getting outdoors is a MUST in good weather.

Ok, I invite you to hop on a bicycle for 15 mile ride in below freezing weather, snow, ice, etc.

For arthritis/cold weather, I use cheap, thin, one-size-fits-all
grocery-store gloves, and just cut the fingertips out. Warm & comfy. And cheap.
definite dearth of good TV on Sunday. Hafta watch weather, sports
just please remember that....
science is a GOOD thing :) If anything, the ultimate gift of God. IMO
(shuttin up now)
OKAY, BUT REMEMBER
Remember, maybe your current employer would pay you a penny more a line (MAYBE), but what about the next employer. Things in this business change quickly, and just because your current employer may up your pay, the next one might not care.
Do you remember>>bet I'm
How about those HUGE transcription machines bigger than a desk>>>>I gravitated to MT from KEYPUNCH school...REMEMBER THOSE KEYPUNCH MACHINES!!!!!
I remember
I learned to type on a manual typewriter. I actually won a county typing contest on one of those, when some of the contestants had brought their electric portables with them. I won because I relaxed, thinking I did not have a chance on a manual, and had only two errors. They counted off words for each error. I got my A.S. in HIM, only then it was Medical Records Technology. My first job was in a small physician's office, where I had an IBM Selectric. Dictation was on this little thing with belts. After that was a machine with small little discs that looked like film, that never came out of the machine, just stacked up like a juke box. After that came tapes. My references were a big Dorland's, a Taber's and a PDR. Of course, like another poster said, I had the chart. Even with all the bad things about the business, I don't think I would want to go back.
ek, remember ET...
AND REMEMBER
Oct. 1 if you are ME, you get the "reward" of 20% decrease in pay.
just remember
remember
They used to think that about male nurses too.
I believe so, but can't remember what it is! nm
Don't remember where I was
I probably found out about it at night, when the newspaper arrived. It didn't phase me at all.
In terms of my age at the time ... 27.
How do you ever remember them all?
That's my problem
Remember When? SM
I posted last evening and spent time this morning just chuckling over what people have written. I still have the red book, "A Syllabus for The Surgeon's Secretary." It is all beat up and the spine is broken but I will not part with it. Let me quote, "Only when a satisfactory degree of proficiency has been achieved should a student be given actual work assignments. She thus learns by POSITIVE TUTELAGE as contrasted with the outmoded method of trial and error." The 2nd edition, January 1965 is the date of publication. We had no electronic dictionary or medical speller. Everything we wrote had to be correct or it was literally "thrown back at us" to retype. We had to use our "Dorlands" or "Tabers" and one PDR for the use of the whole office. Believe me, these "one of a kind" books were tattered and torn but we used them or else. We "had" to get it right, no excuses. What a wonderful way to start the New Year. Somehow it seems all worth it now, sore back and tired fingers and all. Happy New Year, Everyone. Mary Mc
I remember when...
As a child;
Movies were 50 cents. We went at least every weekend...
We got cable TV...wow, more than 3 or 4 channels!
Our first VCR had a remote...with a cord running across the floor!
As a teenager;
Let me just say...leg warmers!
Big hair!
Wham! Boy George! Flock of Seagulls...
Those were the days...
I remember
as a child
Combination TV and record player. The record player could play 33-1/3, 45's AND 78's
Stores were closed on Sundays.
As a teenager
White lipstick
Rolling hair up on orange juice cans.
Cash registers without scanners.
Wishnicks (lucky troll dolls)
Don't let the trolls get you down.
i remember those
I'm old enough to remember standing at the meat counter with my mom watching the butcher weigh out the meat and wrap it and if she wanted a special cut he would step back to a table with the meat saw and cut it.
I also remember long trips on Route 66 before the interstates- getting car sick because I was sitting with my knees on the seat looking out the back window watching the stripes and telephone poles go by- my cousins had a Rambler station wagon and that was really cool cause they got to sprawl out in the back it had a luggage rack on top - oh, boy am I really telling my age
Boy am I old. I remember......
when I was a child, and there was no TV, we actually had one of those big floor model radios, and we actually sat around it and listened to it. Wow. When I was a teenager, gas was about 18 cents a gallon, and we used to go out on a Friday night and get a dollar's worth. I also remember our first color TV. Everything looked bright pink, bright blue, and bright green. Probably my most significant memory as a teenager was being on my senior class trip in Washington, D.C. when Kennedy was killed. We saw the White House flag being lowered. Car radios were on all over town, people gathered around cars crying. That was back in the time when everyone was kind of "innocent" - things like that just didn't happen. Wow, what a memory.
I remember when...
Michael Jackson was "normal" and very cool. I remember when we only got three channels out in the country. I remember being in love with Erik Estrada from CHiPs! Ahh, nostalgia. I remember when Ricky Martin was in Menudo. OMG, so cute! When I need a nostalgia fix, I watch "13 Going on 30". She was my age exactly then! Loving those layered polo's and plastic necklaces! I remember watching NEW episodes of "The Cosby Show". Oh, can't forget "The Facts of Life"! Woohoo! Good thread idea. I'm smiling now! Thanx!
WHAT I REMEMBER
When we waited for guys to call us now girls ask guys out (I have two daughters). When you would not be stuck with one guy and would go out with several. When College was an option because jobs were more plentiful. Now College is a must. When TV had the good shows like Different Strokes, Facts of Life Etc, when Kenny Rogers was as hot as Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney. When TV was a little more sensored than it is now. When there was more little corner stores and not a variety of supermarkets. When you only had one brand to choose at the store and not a million. When Sundays were a day of rest and not work(stores were closed). The only time you could get donuts was on Sundays at the corner stores.
I remember when...
Milk used to come in glass bottles with cardboard tops. Bread was wrapped in waxed paper with a label on each end. Kids had to be inside as soon as the street lights when on. Everyone ate dinner together, and you had to ask to be excused from the dinner table. All 3 of us kids waited in the back seat of the car while mom did grocery shopping, and we actually believed she could see us.
As a teen I remember city buses took us everywhere, or we walked. I remember bleeding madras shirt, tight cut-off kakhi-colored jeans (but I'm not sure kakhi was a word then), boys with bleached blonde surfer haircuts, and penny loafers without socks. I remember circle pins, letter sweaters, and Aqua-Net.
Thanks, fun!
Just remember
were you were only four days ago. You posted on this board "bawling your eyes out" and having no idea what to do. I am very happy for you, please understand that. But I have been where you are right now. I am not trying to dampen your spirits or get you down, I'm just trying to give you a little bit of reality. I didn't respond to your original post because I felt that you had enough people putting their two cents in. I left my husband over four years ago. It took a lot of courage and it was a very scary thing to do. He was a very emotionally abusive man who had taken away every ounce of self-esteem I had. But I got me and my son out.
I do want you to be happy and excited about the steps you are taking, but I don't want you to forget where you were just a few short days ago. It is very easy to fall back into the same old routine. I heard many, many promises from my ex, and I stayed with him only for things to always go back to the terrible. If you hang on to where you just came from, you won't allow yourself to go back there again.
Good luck.
remember when
I remember when I was working FT outside of the home. Lots of days it grated on my last nerve but I am, make that was, a people person and felt I needed that interaction. Due to child care circumstances I work FT at home now doing transcription. I do find myself getting more and more reclusive and miss the public less as times goes on. I do, however, have a p.r.n. position at a local hospital that I work when I want and so that gets me out there. I usually works Saturdays. I can work there as much or as little as I want. It is really not a hard job but by the end of the day I'm ready to go home. Both jobs make me appreciate the other one more.
I remember that too.
Besides, it looks bad. "He was seen 1 day ago and has had 2 episodes of chest pain, 3 times a day." Come on.
I remember.....sm
I remember the group "Seacrest out" now that you mention it. But I though he did it every show last year. That's cute that you use it.
Oh how I remember it well....sm
I was married for 13 years and we never left the offspring with a babysitter (husband=European)
..and so I read somewhere WAY BACK THEN.....that if he doesn't want to leave the kids with a babysitter, you make plans with your friends and STILL GO out with them.....the article indicated that while the husband may not be happy with that, he will respect you.
I divorced him after 13 years of his CONTROLLING passive-aggressive ways....the fact that his things were always more important than our things...me being an equalist. I want a man in my life, not in my house full time. I will NEVER marry again by choice. *lol* Joni Mitchell (singer back in the 1970s) once sang a line "We love our lovin, but not like we love our FREEDOM!!!!!"
So you go on out and have a GREAT time and DON'T FEEL GUILTY......you deserve time on your own away from everyone at home. I don't even know you and can tell you that with CERTAINTY!!
ENJOY YOUR EVENING.....and hopefully you won't come home to the THIRD DEGREE (questions). *LOL*
remember this . . .
illicit - illegal
yep, that's how I remember this one too.
:)
Does anyone remember (sm)
Pat from Saturday Night Live? LOL
Yep - I sure do remember Pat from SNL.....nm

playing hopscotch on the sidewalk, jumprope and my pogo stick. In those days we were allowed to actually play outside without fear of being abducted !
