150 inhabitants? Is this really a city?...s/m

Posted By: Vie on 2008-11-22
In Reply to: live in a town of <150. No zeros. - sm

Are you the same person who posted this nasty reply to 'abc' on 11/16/08?

Now I can undertand that living in a VILLAGE (or BOX) with 150 people gives you a backward insight on a lot of issues.

best city
Believe it or not, Cleveland, Ohio. I've lived all over the Midwest and East Coast and loved Chicago and Minneapolis, but the people in Cleveland were definitely the friendliest. Easy to make friends and cost of living was pretty decent. Also lots of fun night life and great museums.
Sex and the City is definitely up there at the top. nm

Know the city well, you can get 1 of the
weekly hotels and live from there. I would not like this situation at all- if he has worked there for awhile, just making until May should not make that much difference. Had home right in Atlanta and sold year before last, moved further towards Rex.
So he's never even been TO the city before? sm
Just from what you've posted, it sounds like he is sorely underprepared to take this job. No sales experience and never been to NYC, but taking a job doing cold-call sales in the toughest city? YIKES.
NYC is great city, full of life and energy, but man you have to be prepared.

LOTS of info can be found online, of course; just start Googling. Everything from maps of the subway system, to where to park, etc. Travel guides at the bookstore can help.
Seriously, what kind of a company gives the new guy the Manhattan territory? And then gives no informational support? The whole story gives me a bad feeling. Hopefully I'm just missing details.
sex and the City
I know some of us are working tonight, like me, but have any of you seen the movie sex and the City tonight and how was it?  I hope to see it this weekend between shifts.
Sex & the City, plus

New York City

Does anyone know if New York City is extremely crowded on Black Friday? I'm going on a bus trip that day to do some shopping. Just curious if it was as crowded that day as it was the week before Christmas.


I pay $85 in a big city, but she does spend 45 sm

minutes or so washing, cutting and styling may between chin and shoulder length hair.  Five minutes is ridiculous.  I don't see how they can even do a good job in that amount of time.


Yes, I know $85 is high (plus tip).  I have just had so many hack jobs at less money that I got scared and went to a trendier place in the city.


Is that the one where the girl goes to the inner city...
to live with her dad after her mom dies and she gets involved with the black student and she auditions for Julliard? 
OMG - I love sex and the city
Just heard online today it is confirmed, they are making a movie. Can't wait
But is that not rural and not city
taxes? I had some property in the country, 200 something compared to my city home of over 2,000.
Not in city limits
We're about 2 miles out of town. Of course the town is 8500 people. A well known town, but small, nonetheless. :-)
City in illinois
Its Oswego. Lived around here forever
City in Illinois
I was going to put this on the state board for Illinois, but I noticed that no one's posted there in months.  The doctor is stating the patient worked at GE in s/l Owings, Illinois.  I googled cities in Illinois for the correct spelling and I can't find anything even close.  Any ideas? 
I hate it too, even in my own city (sm)

I find that as I get older, it's not even a question of not seeing as well.  It's almost more like disorientation,if it's an area I'm kind of familiar with, but not really.  Like I will be not quite sure how much farther I have to go to the light and then when I get to the light, I'm not sure what cross street I'm at.  Sound funky.  Kind of hard to explain.


everything that is now gone, Sopranos, Sex and the City...
Love The Riches on FX. NetworkTV is too dumbed down, bad sitcoms (except 30 Rock and The Office, sometimes ok), bad dramas and overrated reality shows. And the soaps, fugetaboutit, UGH!

It's just a nickname the city was given back in the 40's by
writer & journalist Herb Caen. To reflect the multiculturalism and exotic character of San Francisco he coined the term Baghdad by the Bay, and often referred to San Francisco that way.
Albuquerque is a beautiful city

It is at the foothills of the mountains, so you have mountains and desert both. The cost of living is relatively low. And Santa Fe and Taos are very close, so there are all kinds of opportunities to learn about arts and culture. There are the mountains for hiking and camping. And Gallup and Zuni Pueblo are not too far away. Lots of Native American culture, including the yearly ceremonials in Gallup.


Sorry, I don't know about the schools, except that the University of New Mexico is there. That's where my husband and I are planning to retire. We love the area and have visited there many times.


On the Oklahoma City page...
Garage Sale is listed in the For Sale column, on the right hand side just after Games and Toys (see link). What city are you trying to list under?
That would be me (poster) and as a NY City person....

and I HATE that press 1 for English and have told many corporations that - it should say *if you'd like to speak Spanish press 1; Creole press 2, Russian press 3, Hebrew press 4, Portugese press 5 and on and on and on so that we cover everybody....but for us, 3rd, 4th generation Americans, we should NOT have to press 1 for English - GALLS ME! 


I think in California, they do choose to isolate more themselves via their cultures.....I do not see this here in S. Florida any longer - it's much better today, I think, and JMO.....(no flames please *lol*)


Oh, and if it's NOT a melting pot, it sure should be - and we should strive to live side-by-side, accepting of others choices (religion or any other personal choice as long as it doesn't hurt anybody), and all try to get along in a nation full of different cultures, religions, colors, languages.....just my opinion again....

Does your city have a fine if you get caught?

Does your city have a fine if you get caught? I don't know about mine. I don't think there's one, but I could be wrong.


ALBANY, N.Y. -- The New York state Legislature has given final passage to a bill that would charge $250 for pet owners who don't pick up after their dogs in some parts of the state.


Dog owners currently have to pay $100 if they don't pick up the poop. The change would apply to the five boroughs of New York City, Albany and Yonkers.


The Assembly passed the bill Wednesday and the Senate had already passed it.


A spokesman for Gov. David Paterson said the governor will review the measure.


I'm in a large city and what you said is not true here.

We have a city ordinance about pit bulls
You have to provide proof of $100,000 insurance to have it; it cannot roam free; and anyone has the right to kill it if they feel they are under attack. If your pit is found running free, it is put down.

Pits do not have to be used for fighting to be aggressive. It is part of their nature - far more aggressive than other dogs.

Yes, I've had plenty of up close and personal experiences with pits that were friendly but that has nothing to do with their underlying aggressive nature.

Dangerous animal.
Fourth largest city in US
with strong sense of pride and community, economically sound, cutting edge medical facilities, greatest mayor ever, friendly folks, culture of all sorts and decidedly international in nature.
I am 50 years old, lived in 1 city until
I was 24, lived in another for 7 years, and now in current place for 19 years and have NEVER been called.
I thought of an iPod, but he already has one and because he lives in the city, the air gun

It's such a quandry trying to buy for a teen!  I really don't want to just get him a gift card.  "Auntie" really wanted to do something memorable.  He's getting older and he's just not that little bitty guy anymore!


Well, I live in a big city and it goes on here all the time. Sickening.
a
Planning a trip to New York City and
was looking for suggestions on a nice hotel to stay in and what are some of the best sites to see. Will only be there for four days at the end of May and want to cram as much in as possible.
If you lived in the huge city where I live what you said
might make a difference in whether you lived or not. On a daily basis, people are shot and killed here for less than asking what a teenager was saying and I am not talking about 1 death, talking 3-4 a day. We just had a child killed here when a young kid (male) got upset with the a neighborhood family, went home got a gun, sprayed the home and killed a 2 year old child in his mothers arms. If you wanted to approach the parents, a lot of people only take up for their children and think you are in the wrong for approaching them! I have grown children and of course taught them right from wrong but I am not into trying to kill myself by responding to a small aleck kid. You can ignore and then again if you would like to come here and do that, give them your life. Your choice. You cannot change every smartie kid you might run into- and then you might not have to change anyone for long… I say just ignore. I have got more sense than to get myself killed over nothing.
Does your town or city have a noise ordinance?

I am sorry, but I hate when people reside in one home, yet they feel they can just run the neighborhood.  My parents had neighbors that cursed all of the time. 


We just had (live in a townhome) construction workers building a new store in our town "squatting" in the townhome attached to us.  My husband was furious.  He called the landlord that owns the home.  Now, we have at least better neighbors!!! 


Better rules than to live in trash city
I live to live a little better upscale life than that. It is my hubby, me and the furries and that is so good for me. No kids running thru the yard, no knock down, dragouts. Living in the country or city does not guarantee you good neighbors. Trying to sell 6+ acres of lake front (not where I live nor have I ever lived there) but in the country and those people on each side the neighbors from hades. They wanted to buy from me and I would not sell to them but that is in the country and ??? If you call making sure your kids nor animals don't roam and no beer battles, neighbors with their loud, obxious music and shaking my home a problem, not for us. We absolutely love it and by the way, the cost of these homes really keeps that rift-raft out, thank goodness! You pay for what you get.
I have the all the Soprano DVDs and Sex and the City collection...
I jump on my elliptical every day and trade off episodes. Makes my workout fly!
Sopranos is my all time favorite. Sex and the City...

Didn't she grow up in New York City?
What does she know about the South?
Hmmm...there never was a stray issue in that city!

I'd call the Chamber(s) of Commerce of whatever city you decide to stay in and ask them the condition(s) of the area(s)  post-Katrina.....just my opinion.


Have fun on vacation!!!  :)


City gal here. We have professional critter people, who SM
come in and collect rats, possums or other varmints who invade our homes. They charge around $200 for that service. Us city folk are real wimps.

A friend who has county house bought some device that emits radio waves that the creatures don't like and they leave. It works, because I have stayed in her house.

Or, as stated previously, borrow a cat. They will make short stay of that rat.
In a city with a large gay/lesbian population, gay -sm
marriage is an everyday issue. The kids hear both sides of it. They're not isolated in coccoons, and they watch TV and see the negative ads running right now. If they go to Sunday school, then they probably get fed a large dose of fear and intolerance there, as well.

I think it IS educational for a bunch of SF kids to go see a wedding, especially if it's their own teacher. They already know she's gay. And they already know she's are real human being that they probably all love.

What they get out of the experience is a very strong reason to question the hatred & bigotry surrounding the issue of who should be allowed to marry, and who should not.
Supper here north of Kansas City, MO
Stuffed green peppers (spanish rice/burger mixture topped with shredded cheese) and a romaine lettuce salad.  Apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. 
the best repellant is to call the HOA and the city and get them fined!
I am having the same problem. I have a small dog and I religiously pick up the poop; just had a new neighbor move in one condo over and they have a dog they don't even come outside with - just leave the back door open so it can come in and out on its own. Of course, everyone sees me out walking my dog and are assuming that it is my dog leaving the presents all over the lawn.

I am very upset about it myself - if I scoop the poop, they should also!

But back to your problem, the animal control office should be able to talk to them and in my city if they warn them twice, the third time they start fining them.
Let us not forget the Americans at Columbine and Oklahoma City.
Definitely cannot turn this into a race thing. You can't always tell who will do what and this guy had been in our country legally for quite some time.
Utah or Salt Lake City, info please
My vacation is right around the corner, starting the 25th of this month. I would like to know what is this doing for the people coming into SLC, is there a problem with the fires there? I am still (hopefully) looking forward to visiting your state, my first time there. Any sites I should try to work in? Thanks.
So what? It's a minor blip in everyday city life.
