I always figured it meant riverfront property or the house was in front of the river. LOL

We lived on Riverfront Drive but
Silly huh?
Camping in the back yard with the kids sm
when they were small. We had the most fun there than anywhere we went. We had big bonfires, cooked grilled cheeses over the fire and just plain fun. We live near the woods so we had the raccoons, etc, just like being at a campground and it was all free! 
we've lost our sense of community, no more back yard fences, no more coffee klatches
It's the sense of community we miss, and there is some semblance of it here. My son has been online since age 10, and he knows the status of the marriages and pregnancies and jobs and traumas of his gameing friends, from his age on up into the 60s, male and female. They comfort each other, congratulate each other. Ranges from students to cops to medial installers to computer geeks. It's a sense of commnity that has sprung up, but that society doesn't really recognize as REAL yet, it's too new.
flying BACK to Manhattan where I lived -
had to stay where I was for another two weeks until flights were scheduled to fly into LGA.
Is it possible to do a system back-up (hard drive information) to a USB
zip drive? Have you done it? How do you figure how big of a zip drive is needed?Thanks.
I also lost my sex drive the minute I got pregnant the first time....never got it back....that was 8
x
Lived in Germany for 5 years - best place I ever lived!
I found the people very warm and helpful, the food is to die for, and if you like beer (I do not, but this is what hubby tells me), it is the best in the world! The downside now is with the conversion to the euro things do seem much more expensive (was just back there to visit last Decemeber). Still, I would live there again in a heartbeat! :-)
In general business're running slower than usual but running. NM

Cry us a river....nm
Oh cry me a river, baby
I believe it is Ganges River we are being
nm
Yep, a hospital north of the river.
I'll email you the name.
Yes, but that's been for a while now. AAMT sold us up the river.
I knew they sold us up the river, but
I didn't think (well hoped) they didn't have the you know what to totall and completely sell us out by letting them test before the US MTs were even eligible. That is just WRONG!
yeh and denial is a river in egypt sweetheart
A jump drive is the same as a USB drive. SM
It's basically a small device you plug into a USB port on your PC and you can store files on it (like the floppy disks of the old days but with WAAAAAAY more space!). You can pick them up at Wal-Mart now for pretty cheap. I have a 2 gig and I can back up my entire hard drive on my PC (programs and all) if I needed to.
What can we use on the yard for fleas? I got a
cocker spaniel a few months ago to go along with the cats but since the end of June/beginning of July we have been fighting fleas. I'm surrounded by neighbors who both have 2 dogs but their backyard grass is about 3 feet high so now matter how much spraying I do in the yard, the fleas still comes back. I've had the yard and house sprayed a few times this month but the fleas keep coming. We never have a problem with fleas until summer months. I just wish the neighbor would cut his grass more than 3 times a year.
yard work
Did some yard work. My husband mowed the lawn Friday evening. Got delayed for half an hour because I disturbed a yellow jacket nest.
Went to a state park in the p.m. and watched my baby while my husband fished. Didn't catch any as raine poured on us, so we ate at a nearby fish restaurant and got us some good good fried catfish. HHHHmmmmmmm good.
Yard sale
The 4th would be okay if your area gets a lot of traffic. A lot of people "running around" on the holiday weekend. I have known people who did very well on holiday weekends.
Just to warn, clothes don't sell well. Toys, baby items, household items are good sellers. I like to price toward the lower end so that I get rid of it. Those who price high take the risk that the buyer won't bother to "haggle". But you should stand firm if you feel a price is fair, maybe give in if it is getting towards the end of the day.
Have a good one!!!
Having my first yard sale. Any suggestions?
It will be some time in July. Any particular weekend that would be best? Probably not around the 4th because people will be out of town, right?
Have lots of clothes and other stuff. Anything that I haven't used in the last 6 weeks or that was not a gift is going. No more clutter for me!
I've never had a yard sale before. Is there anything I should know? Oh, and I hate to haggle. Should I price to high and take the first offer or just price low and stand firm (who me?). I'm not looking to make a fortune. I just want to get rid of my junk and have a little to show for it.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Anyone ever have problems with sink holes in your yard?
My grandson was just walking across the yard and his foot gave way and went down to his waist. There are other areas, some large where the ground appears to have sunk somewhat. They live in southeast georgia. If you have experienced this, please share.
Does anyone know how to reset a DVI? I purchased one at a yard sale and *sm*
it did not come with a manual. I am trying to use it for the first time and the dial tone comes up but it is asking for a log in ID. I would also like to purchase a manual if anyone has one. I do believe I can go to the DVI website and ask about purchasing one but that will not help me throughout the weekend in trying to figure out what do do now! Assistance is greatly appreciated!
Yard sale maybe? I have a friend who made $600 in one day
Don't know what it's like wherever you live but in my town yard/garage sales are some people's weekend hobby lol. Get friends to sell stuff too so it is a big one that people will stop at, make the signs big.
hit some yard sales early in the morning
Yard sale! If you have anything in your house you can part with
have a yard sale, or post a cheap ad in those little throw away papers like Pennysaver, NOT the regular newspaper as the ads are too expensive.
Remember that things can be replaced. Good luck!
Buying and planting a tree or shrub in their yard,
something that blooms/flowers so that they can seek comfort every year and it is symbolic too.
That happened to me once... guns drawn out in front yard..
lived in a track house, so houses were real close together. Turns out the single woman living next door who seemed to have no end to her money to buy nice stuff was running a racket out of her house, somehow tapping into computers in warehouses for big companies and having merchandise like applicances and computers sent to people without them having been paid for. FBI surrounded the place, digging in trash, etc. They finally got her and she went to federal prison for a while, then came back and skipped parole and they were back for her again. Weird.
I worked grave yard for years but then my jobs all
disappeared by midnight. This very large company said they needed help late and I always did my work, did all the preop hps, etc., but now I am lucky to get 5 jobs a night. This happened to several others that I know, too. It is simply that the off-shore do it cheaper. I did not get paid a differential, either. I just like that shift, but I also need work, so good bye big company
Also, be careful that little girl/parents don't throw something toxic in your yard sm
for the puppy too eat. Sad, but a lot of sickos out there.
Try ebay, yard sales, Recycled Software or BuyCheapSoftware.com
to find inexpensive software. Also, see if you can find a newer version of MS Works because I think it comes with Word now, or you can buy a standalone version of Word without springing for MS Office.
For that matter, wait until you find a job before worrying about it. Not everybody uses MS Word, and some companies provide their own software for you to use. What about going back to Medware or another company that provides software and/or equipment?
My neighbor had a golden lab that went to obedience school and was shot in their yard because of
s
Yard work, painting kitchen cabinets, sanding and priming
kitchen chairs. This morning went out to breakfast with DH and then ran a couple of errands, have already spread weed and feed in the yard and used weeder killer in other areas, cleaned off the patio, cleaned off the bookcase in the den, recycled some stuff, Freecycled some stuff - busy, busy, busy.
I use round glass lids from old Corningware and other glassware for all my pots. Find 'em at yard

believe what you want, I lived....sm
I lived out west for 10 years, in that area.....lots of nuclear dumping sites....area 51.....
oh, perhaps you're not familiar with area 51.... White Sands, New Mexico....all kinds of good (being facetious) stuff buried out west............
I have lived in NC since I was 12, so about
19 years. My mother used to work in a hotel, and my step-father worked as a furniture peddler. He stayed in the hotel where she was working and it was love at first sight! They have been married for 18 years now and are very happy. I also got a sister out of the deal after having been an only child for 13 years...lol.
I love Maine in the summertime, and obviously because my family is there, but I don't think I would move back. I am so used to not having to deal with all the snow. I think that is probably the major difference. Here we have 4 seasons. There, winter lasts for a long, long time. I remember being little and having huge amounts of snow on my birthday....in APRIL!
The food is also different in a lot of ways. They drink sweet tea up there, but it didn't catch on for quite some time, and it still isn't like it is here in the south. I don't drink tea though, guess that's the Yankee coming out in me...lol.
And of course there is the accent thing. It's funny, but even after living here for so long, when I go up there to visit, I pick up my northern accent all over again, although normally I talk with a southern drawl.
I do miss 'home', but I don't really think I could go back permanently. I can't deal with the cold anymore...LOL.
Always wonder how I lived this long! LOL
The stupid things we used to do and never thought anything of it until later in life and wonder how the heck I lived this long!
lived there last year - sm
had difficult time getting freelance work. I thought it was pretty funny that the hospitals in Tampa and St. Pete would go to an outside service for their overflow and pay $0.14-0.18/line, however, would not utilize me as a prn transcriptionist. Moffitt Cancer Center wanted me to drive all the way from south tampa one way for $12/hour on a prn basis. But if I wanted to be full time, I would start at $9/hour. However, Moffitt had no problem bringing in transcriptionists from Kforce and paying the COMPANY hourly rate of $33/hour (per transcriptionist), hotels, rental cars, per diem, and overtime for all six transcriptionists, and travel back and forth to their home state every 10 days. Had to laugh!
Kindred Hospital is screaming for transcriptionists, yet, they would not let me work for them, inhouse, on an as needed basis until the positions were filled. They had a two month backlog, and I lived 20 minutes away and the woman I spoke to said no. I told her I was moving in a month and could produce 1800 lines/day, knew their transcription system backwards and forwards, and wanted to be paid $0.10/line. Answer was still no. They are outsourcing it at a higher rate.
Yes, she lived it. I'm curious though,
had her and her siblings at an early age and parenthetically added something about "hormones and no sex education". But now when people talk about programs that inclue "sex education" a lot of neocons freak out and say abstinence is the only way to go and cut funding for education, so what do you do about that? How realistic is abstinence? This is not an ideal world, after all. How do we break the cycle of babies having babies and the cycle continuing for generations?
lived in Texas too
I posted to you about where to look. We also lived in Dallas and they are overpriced too. You don't pay a state income tax in Florida, but there are a lot of hidden sales taxes and such. The problem with living on the water is you can't get insurance and if you find it, it's extremely high. We left Florida and went to Biloxi, Mississippi and it was about half the cost of Florida and we were 1 block from the beach. We had planned to go back but it will take a few years to be rebuilt. In the meantime, heading to TN as they do not have a state income tax, a vehicle tax, and the property taxes are much much less.
have you ever lived in the south?
If not, then don't make negative comments about people you know nothing about.
have ya ever lived with a techie?
eaten with a techie? worked with a techie? have ya ever listened in on the techie's side of the conversation while setting up an MT?
This isn't a problem exclusive to one company. And the problems techies have aren't all their fault or the company's fault. Can you imagine being the techie that tries to train the MT that asks if the CD tray is the cup holder? (yeah, this stuff is real). It takes a tremendous amount of self discipline not to hang up on a clue-less MT and even if the MT is very computer savvy, that MT's equipment might have unique challenges that take more time than expected. Image a techie's surprise when after trying to identify a problem, the MT lets out a final piece of information not given before and the techie has to start over from scratch.
Techies are a breed unto themselves and putting personal blame on the techies really is unfair. I still defend them even if I think they are weird (that's okay, they think I'm weird too).
Give your local techie a hug today 
my most embarassing was when I lived
with no doors and the bedroom was a loft with the parrot downstairs.
When my partner and I became amorous, the bird went nuts and started screaming. Didn't help to shove pillows in each other's faces either!
Of course he repeated what he heard during the day when I had visitors...humuliations galore!
You haven't lived until you have
been woken up at 1:48, 2:37, 3:12 and 5:07 a.m. to windows shaking from Mexican rap music blaring from almost 2 blocks away and then getting yelled at by the 911 dispatcher over and over again saying that 911 is not for noise complaints. Well if they would have taken care of the problem the first time, I would have stopped calling. One 911 dispatcher was really sweet though because she could hear the music when I stood outside talking on my cell phone. Usually the first time the police go out there, they stop the music but they must have new people staying with them as they kept playing the same Tequila song over and over (only word I understood was Tequila). Then when the police went over there these idiots pretended not to speak English, speak Spanish when the officer tries to speak to them in Spanish or read the complaint printed up in Spanish. Tomorrow I'm searching for the owner of the house online and will start complaining to them as will the rest of my neighbors. You also haven't lived until you have seen some of your neighbors out in their pjs at 3 a.m. trying to do a Mexican hat dance. I'm thinking maybe they too were consuming mas tequila.
Well, I have surely lived then!
Not Mexican - rap music as loud as it can be played coming from somewhere behind my house on almost a nightly basis around 2 a.m. The thing that makes me the most annoyed is that it is literally the same song OVER and OVER and OVER for two hours or more! I just want to scream, "At least get a new song!" Ugggghhhh!
I lived in Portland for a while...(sm)
but I am back in Iowa now and wouldn't go back to Portland for the world. It's beautiful, but I guess I just like my four seasons and all the wonderful reasons to live in Iowa!
I lived with a crackhead. nm
Has anyone ever lived overseas?....sm
A friend of mine is moving to Italy and I am really considering going with her. Just wanting to know if anyone has lived outside of the US (not necessarily in Italy, just anywhere).
Thanks
I've never lived there but
know a good friend of mine from Michigan, who is an MT, who moved there. She doesn't live in Denver but Pueblo and the last I heard from her, her and her family really love it there!
Best wishes to you.
If DSL was not available where I lived, I'd HAVE to move!
I have lived here all my life and never
have I heard the word Kruk…Maybe the person was tongue-tied and could not pronounce the word truck and called it kruk instead? I am originally from Tenn and my hubby is amazed at how I talk and I have forgotten the name for the sayings but I grew up with them and they come so natural for me- up the creek without a paddle, don't be left high and dry, making a mountain out of a mole hill, a gut feeling, like looking for a needle in a haystack, cost me an arm and a leg and on and on. He says, what??? Well, bless his heart.
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."
