and you are incorrect - all condo and....sm
ALL condo associations and homeowners associations have rules and regulations that ALL must follow and if you cannot or do not want to follow them - you cannot live there. It's that simple. Many of the rules and regulations are also benefitting the owners, like keeping riff-raff out. *lol*

I'm thrilled! After much, much searching on VRBO.com I finally found a 2 br condo in the heart of
Destin, FL, for 7 days!!! I've been searching and searching, but to no avail. These condo owners crack me up! I would either get NO response or a "Sorry, week not available. Try another week." Or the famous, "Yes, it is available." And then I respond to that and never hear from them again! I guess they decide they don't want to rent to us. I always sign my emails with a very professional-looking signature such as, Jane Doe, Medical Editor, MQ Corp....and then my phone number! LOL Makes me look so much smarter!! And it's true!!
Anyways, I am so happy for myself and my family...7 days on the Gulf of Mexico. I work on a laptop so I don't plan on taking any time off since I've already gone away this year to Disneyworld. Plus, they have wireless access.

Check them out and make sure to stop by if in the area!! ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smoke.gif)
Zero. If I don't have the dollars, I don't buy it.
House paid off. Drive old cars. Make hard choices sometimes, but would rather postpone or do without sometimes for the peace of mind of no debt. It's not easy, but I highly recommend it!!
TWO dollars?
Just say NO! That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in weeks. Ortho fills up a lot of the page and I can't believe I am seeing this. Are you living in another country?
And you are willing to pay 100 dollars
to keep the ball rolling? I don't know... sounds fishy!
Another poll: Regarding our tax dollars.
In view of the increased cost of gasoline, housing, medical care, now heating and electric, when it comes to the tax dollars coming from YOUR income, would you prefer it go to:
A.) Those on welfare due to bad choices, those on welfare because they refuse to work, those on welfare due to unwed pregnancy, or those receiving governmental aid due to just being elderly and unable to work, or due to catastrophic illnesses or events such as Katrina.
or
B.) Those elected officials to use for their wives' tummy tucks, their children's daycare, their expensively catered business meetings with other elected officials (including water at $500 a case), their tax-funded trips with their families as "staff", and their million-dollar tax-funded pensions.
I did spend the 400 dollars too
Well, what can I say I just purchased the "software" two days ago.
And in the country I live 400 dollars is two minimun wages.-
So, I basically spent my savings in a promise, but only because I read that Alan is a minister of some kind, I just assumed a Pastor wouldn't be on the internet scaming people...
and I even talked to Alan.
Yes, I tip. Usually a couple of dollars but
if I have a lot of groceries, will make it $3. But last year on Christmas Eve when I had LOTS of groceries and the store was packed and it was pouring down rain and the sacker got soaked loading my groceries in my car, I gave him $5.
Robotype 3. It's about 8 dollars. nm

Yeah, I would rather my tax dollars go to war. nm

It's probably 40,000 Rupees, not dollars.

dollars and cents
I get 6 cents a line for my work, but I work at MQ and am not an IC. I have been with them for 1.5 years. I was wondering myself what they got paid because I was considering getting a part time-full time gig for a second job. Now a days you almost have to.
ME TOO! I got mine for 4 dollars sm
on ebay. I am also down to my last one!
Canadian Dollars- probably French ESL nm

Yes, every other week, 78 dollars, 2200 sq ft. SM
To me it's worth every penny!
Were you playing dimes, dollars, or what ?
Am going in the next couple of months, and how much had you spent in machines?
That averages out to 21 to 25 dollars an hour
for radiology. I earn more than that per hour on acute care, but I don't work that many hours a week. How do you keep your arms healthy?
At 3cpl, that's only 90 dollars gross. Take out
At Wal-Mart here, they start at 6.00 dollars an hour.

I'd bet dollars to donuts it'll be a rip-off, no doubt. - nm

if you made less than 600 dollars they don't legally have to claim it.
Just found that out also as last year my IC job only started in October and didn't make enough for taxes. This year will be different though. My employer said consider it free money. Can't argue with that. Checked with H&R Block and they confirmed it.

I would check into a business line. My phone company offers one for around 55 dollars, with truly U
I am going to remove the LD from my home phone, and use the business line for all calls, then I will only have to pay about 35 above what I'm paying now. Not ideal, but the best deal I could find.

There's a law in our city that you can't have more than
a certain number of pets in your yard or home. Have the neighborhood band together and sign a petition or turn him in on every tiny infraction. Get rid of the guy. Take back your neighborhood.

What city? - NM

What city is LCC out of? Do you know? (nm)

what are you trying to do, build another city...
please go down about four posts and see the one titled "It never fails to amaze me" and see what happened to that train of thought and the responses to the same. You might get a clue to your answer. Have a great day.
It's certainly UNBELIEVABLE that they'd do this the city, but
I guess I don't know enough to understand why? What could the government of NY had done to prevent this? What were the grievances? I really think we need to blame the right people here, so hopefully someone will be able to share more info on why this happened.
Kansas City, MO Thanks! nm

Why does everyone think Kansas City, MO is
Kansas City, Kansas as well, but for the most part when you hear KANSAS CITY it is referring to Missouri. The Kansas City Chiefs are in MISSOURI, not Kansas. Downtown Kansas City (the one you hear about) is in MISSOURI, not Kansas.
Those City folks
I can really relate to your situation and wanted to tell you this story.
I live at the base of a mountain. There is an RV place out here and every winter the hunters camp and .....leave aggrevation everywhere (garbage).
Yesterday i drove the 15 miles to town to the post office where they know everyone by name. I was packaging my book to mail and was listening to this conversation: A gentleman handed a change of address form to the Postmaster. He says," You just moved in that new house on the hill last fall. Is everything okay"?
Naturally everyone looks that direction. The gentleman says " We don't like that housing developement on the hill. There is way too much snow".
Continuing with his story: My wife had the kids were in the SUV and the road was covered with snow and ice. (duh, it is all winter long). She had to stop because of the herd of Elk standing on the hill in the middle of the road. She slid back down the hill and wouldn't drive up again until I came home from work".![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/sowhat.gif)
So i have asked my husband for a snow maker!!!!!! Maybe they will all move back to the city. At the base of this hill, a herd of Elk always graze in the field. There have been many occassions i drive the grandkids that direction to watch. The 3-year-old asks to me take him to see the funny cows.
So if anyone has a spare Snowmaker please send it to me.....I would love to drive the rest of the city folk out of there!! ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/swords.gif)
city folk
I'm a city girl who moved to the country a year ago, and just want to tell you we're NOT all like that! Glad your game warden & cops did that!
My family & I respect our environment and animals (neighbor's pets and wild ones)& are upset to see garbage alongside the beautiful country roads! Even went out & cleaned it up a few times (by next day it was a mess again!). We have a teen boy on our street who drives like that, too....and he's always lived here in the country!
That kid who killed the deer & tried to hit your dog will get his..."what goes around comes around".
You think we stereotype that all country people are dumb...well, aren't you stereotyping that all city people are like that family?
Johnson City HS, NY
How do I reach them? What city are they in? Do sm
you work for them?
If within city limits, you will.
I at one time ran an ad in Yellow pages with my last name and then "Typing Service" as I was trying to get students and those needing resumes. The city called me and told me I needed a business license. It is a small percentage of the gross annual income. Then, you can display it. They also want to know if there is incoming and outgoing people, whether I would be selling a product or if it was a service and whether it will be in your home and if so, would there be traffic coming and going. I did not contact my insurance company but probably should have...(I had very little business lol).
HA, I always thought her name was the city she was from!!!!
silly to have to point that out about yourself!
I'm in AL, too! Phenix City. nm

Hey Forrest City (sm)
I grew up close to there and attended high school at FCHS. Wonder if we knew each other?
Do you mind if I ask what city...
you are working in? I live in TN and all of the jobs I have seen advertised pay under $13 per hour. I had no idea the hospitals here pay that much.
RE: Do you mind if I ask what city...
Memphis.
Depends on your city
I was first told no and now have been told that yes I do. So check with your city and they will let you know. You are running a business just as any building contractor, consultant, painter, plumber, etc. and so they are making us do this more and more. You usually pay a percentage of your earnings. But since we have no foot traffic I did not have to get the approval of my neigbors for the business. This is in Portland, OR.

I guess they don't have the public voting ready yet. It should be ready tomorrow. I will keep you posted. Thanks on the hair color. My stylist thanks you too. I can honestly say it WAS my natural color when I was 10

I definitely will keep you all posted. You should be able to hear a 90-second audition clip tomorrow. The first show will be July 15th and the second July 29th. The first 20 will be narrowed down to 8 and then the winner. This is a lot of fun and I am definitely singing for "All the Girls" I was never one to get up in front of people and talk much less sing. Finally got the courage. THANKS FOR THE VOTES!!
Is that the wendy city??

I believe that would be TNI, LLC, a company, not a city. nm

How would the city or your neighbors know
you supposedly ran a business out of your home. Do you have employees, a parking lot at your home to have the employees park there, overhead including insurance to cover disability in case 1 of the employees has an accident on the job. First of all, no neighbor of mine knows I have a business (if you want to call it that, I don't) but secondly if someone from the city came by asking questions the answer would be I don't know. In fact I had the city to come by 1 time to inquire about work I had done inside my house, told me they needed to come in and I said no to them. Never heard another word about that. I do not know what kind of work the person on the right or left does, oh I do know 1 lady said she works for IRS and that is that. She might have a zoo in her home for all I know. I would never think about putting myself on the line to say I need license. Bunch of crock.
