to the next state to go. I think it is just the excitement of being there. Thank goodness I don't have a lot of extra money, or I could see myself there all the time. We go 1 or 2 times a year. I have met lots of interesting people, players and dealers. When we go we usually spend the night, so it is a little get-away. I don't win very often (Did hit for $150 on a slot once)--I only take an XX amount with me and leave the debit card at home. The only problem I have is not realizing the time--one time I was going back to the room, leaving the BF at the table, and looked at my watch and it was 4:30 a.m.

I only drive at night when I absolutely have to
for the same reason. Just like N/T fan, even in my own town. As soon as it starts to get dark I have turn on several lights just to read.
Just so you know we absolutely love having it - sm
The previous owners put it in, actually converted a wood burning fireplace to gas, after the power went out for a few days one winter. So in any power outages we always have heat at least even if it means camping out in the family/great room (it is a combo family/living/and kitchen all in one big room with the fireplace in the center and a half cathedral ceiling. My DH absolutely loves that fireplace. I can always tell when he has it on though as the MBR gets cold, and this is where I work. But again, try it out, you will love it. I raved so much about ours my dad went out and got one too, he loves his and he used it to heat his family room (very large 50 x 30) which was on a separate thermastat (split level house). He has since moved though and his new house has just a regular fireplace in the living room, which I doubt he will convert though as he does not really use that room, its more his wife's territory.
I absolutely LOVE that they are doing that!
I don't speed! LOL
Let 'em charge those dummies more money. It ain't costing me a penny! It offsets the fuel cost for situations where more fuel is required. So, lay it on 'em!
I'm all for it.
Absolutely love it!
My desk is a total mess all the time. My husband is always asking me how I can work this way. I told him not to touch anything because I knew where everything was - - lol! How did you post your picture? Let me know, and if I can I will post a picture of my tornado alley. 
I absolutely LOVE all inclusives sm
I just returned from my 4th cruise a week ago today. I've enjoyed them all, but my favorite by far was the week we spent at an all inclusive in Tulum, Mexico. My next vacation will be anogther all inclusive. The only way to go.
Absolutely love the Beatles...
but I have never seen Paul in concert. It is never funny when someone dies, but when a song would come on the radio and I would say to my daughter when she was about 5 "that is Paul" or "that is John" she would always say "Is he the one with Wings or the dead one?
Absolutely love mine
I don't know what we'd do without it. It was well worth the money in my opinion. In fact, we're going away for three days tomorrow and we already have it set up and ready to go. Saves a lot of arguing and map reading.
Absolutely yes, I love cards sm
Send as often as I can yet no one sends to me. I am a card sender, get well, sympathy, little notes, etc. What is WRONG with people. I find in this business you are also very isolated but friends do it as well. I sympathize with you. Cards are important and I hang onto mine forever and re-read them again and again.
I absolutely love the Margherita!!!

I absolutely love your answer
Just chew on the beans, ah never thought of that. I use a big scoop, water hottest but as far as grounds small? Gotta check that one.
I absolutely love my work, but myfamily is priority
I chose to come home for two reasons, I absolutely loved doing MT work and I had a child who stayed with my mother during my working hours. At that time, I worked in-house. After figuring the line count I was getting compared to cpl versus hourly rate, I realized that coming home was the way to go, not to mention more time with my baby (age 3). My baby is now 10 and I have another baby almost 3. I still love being at home, and I sure would not change being home for anything in the world. I have been able to see every ball game, help with every homework assignment, volunteer in the classroom and read every day with my children. When I have jobs that need to be transcribed ASAP, they know it is time for me to work and usually watch a movie or play a game together. I still manage to get my days work done, both work and home and still spend time with my children and husband, and nothing in this world could ever change my mind about staying at home. I am not saying it is a picture perfect world, there are bad days mixed with the good, and I have suffered burn-out and went back to work outside, but quickly found my way back home. It is not all peaches-n-cream, but I do love my work and at least I know who is raising my children and taking care of the housework, not to mention who is looking at the dirty laundry. To the other women out there who have raised children and done MT work at home, I praise you..you have two job titles: MT business manager and home business manager. For Missy, well....maybe you just need to have a baby for yourself to find out why it is important for many to stay home and raise their babies. You do know...some children go to daycare and the parents later find out there was a case of neglect or abuse with their children. PRAISE TO THE SUPERMOMS!!
I concur on Rimmel, absolutely love their lip glosses and foundations! nm

Absolutely love tomato and Vidalia onion sandwiches.

Absolutely love Christmas. Start shopping every year by end of August for kids. sm
Start getting lists from rest of family by end of Sept. into Oct and usually have everything done, bought, and wrapped by Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!! By doing that I can sit back and just enjoy the beauty of the season.
I LOVE love love shallots! I use them in everything that calls for an onion and/or garlic. Mmmmmm. n

It looks fun to drive, too! -- nm

So who is going to drive them to the
bank? You? I doubt they have a good enough credit rating to get the house, so just get your paperwork in order as quickly as you can and see if you can beat the competition to it, no matter who the competition is. While you stew, a whole other person might come in and snap up the house you want.
I can drive myself where I want to go! nm

low sex drive
Yep, I feel your pain. It IS part of the menopausal cycle. Already talked to my doctor and a PA about this. Guess what? There is nothing that they can do. However, through my own investigation (and watching Oprah) there are bioidenticals. I went to a seminar in my area about it. I believe it can help, but it isn't cheap. Google this and read up on it. It's very interesting. You can try over-the-counter creams, they help somewhat, but they don't "get you in the mood". That's the hard part. Good luck!!
Jealous of what? Because she can drive

Hard drive?
Hello...sorry for the beginner question, but if I purchase a hard drive, are they generic to any computer? Or do they need to be specific for the computer they are going to be put into? It's going to go into an HP Pavilion. I just want to get a 40GB hard drive that doesn't cost too much. Any info. would be appreciated.
There is a bar w/ a drive thru store
across the street from our apartment complex. One morning around 10/11am I saw a school bus go through there. I'm sure he/she was just picking something up for later but it just looked bad!
That's prey drive for you.
With Siberian huskies, I know all about that. Sasha has been known to catch birds, moles and squirrels. Misha got herself a rabbit once. I could see how proud she was, marching through the living room with it before taking it back outside. No I don't like it, but then again there are also hawks and snakes trying to get them also, even in my yard.
Sasha enjoys eviscerating a squeaky stuffed toy, but it's a pale comparison to the real thing for her. Thankfully she just carries the real animals around once they are gonners. It is unfortunate, but it's only inside the 6-foot privacy fence that they're in danger. Wish I could keep critters out. I even get snakes back there, but so far those just make Sasha bark for me to come see.
When we go to pet stores they would be happiest if they could spend most of their time in front of the small animal cages. They really want me to get them a ferret or rat, but that's not going to happen!
Drive your car to death
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- By keeping your car for 15 years, or 225,000 miles of driving, you could save nearly $31,000, according to Consumer Reports magazine. That's compared to the cost of buying an identical model every five years, which is roughly the rate at which most car owners trade in their vehicles.
In its annual national auto survey, the magazine found 6,769 readers who had logged more than 200,000 miles on their cars. Their cars included a 1990 Lexus LS400 with 332,000 miles and a 1994 Ford Ranger pick-up that had gone 488,000 miles.
Consumer Reports calls the Honda Civic a "Good bet" to make it to 200,000 miles.
Calculating the costs involved in buying a new Honda Civic EX every five years for 15 years - including depreciation, taxes, fees and insurance - the magazine estimated it would cost $20,500 more than it would have cost to simply maintain one car for the same period.
Consumer Reports' "Good bets" for making 200,000 miles: Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Honda Element, Lexus ES, Lexus LS, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Highlander, Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Prius, Toyota RAV4
Consumer Reports' "Bad bets" for making 200,000 miles: BMW 7-series, Infiniti QX56, Jaguar X-type, V8-powered Mercedes-Benz M-class, Mercedes-Benz SL, Nissan Armada, Nissan Titan, Volkswagen Touareg, V6-powered Volvo XC90.
Then it is worth a drive. I'm sure you will have a

And why do they have to drive in packs?
Everyone bunched up. Almost like it is an insult if someone passes them. I prefer to stay back and take my time. I think it's funny that everyone seems to end up stopping for the red light anyway. How much sooner do they get to their destination - 5 minutes?
How to drive them all crazy
I put random numbers and/or letters on the presents not to be revealed until Christmas morning, so no one knows whose is whose. Gives me lots of chuckles year after year!
Was married to a man with zero drive sm
I mean, he seemed to have some drive in the very beginning, but after about a year he seemed to have no drive at all! He would constantly complain about being tired...even after spending the entire weekend asleep on the couch. He took antidepressants and it didn't help. He took sleeping pills to help him sleep more deeply, didn't help and it wasn't so he would be "up" for fun either. Hottie lingerie didn't work. NOTHING WORKED.
We are divorced for some years. When my oldest child was a teenager and would stay over at dad's with the new wife, he frequently heard his stepmother whine to his dad about always been too tired for relations and he didn't seem interested in it at all. I thought...mmm...same argument new wife! It wasn't me!!!
I have talked to enough of my friends to understand that some men lose interest or perhaps they lack any kind of a drive anymore. This is why my friends and I all agree that you need a younger man so that when his interest peeters out you'll be slacking off too. LOL
Why not drive down to your parents on
x
I would not drive after drinking it!
Use in place of wine:)
drive it until it dies!!!
when you say you can't afford anything over $2000.00 is that because you have 2K cash or you can afford the payments? My thing is I REALLY want a new car. I dont NEED it quite yet, but im getting there. I bought my first Honda Accord in 2001. 8 years later it is really starting to show signs of wear and tear... something is DEFINITELY wrong as it is making noises now but I haven't taken it into the shop yet. I am keeping my fingers crossed it is something like a plug and not a transmission or engine problem. I know the deals are great on cars right now... but like you said you have a bunch of other bills to pay and you have to sacrifice somewhere.
When you said get a decent car that will last you the rest of your life, what car at 4K will do that?? I dont think you should close your IRA until you have no other choice you know? unless do you have other savings? He isn't working now? you owe all kinds of other things? I mean... think about it. You already know the answer dont you!! :)
go to start, my computer, C-drive
cookies to start - and if you can find a history click on there - but if he is tech saavy - he will have already deleted all that via tools, internet options, and from there you can delete files and cookies and history - that's another way to see.....tools (top of browser), internet options, then settings and then VIEW FILES.......but if he deleted them - you won't find them, unfortunately
Go to my computer, highlight the drive sm
and make it run. If it is a DVD, then you need to have a DVD drive. If a CD, then you should be able to make it play if you only have a CD drive.
Bad idea to drive to NYC - take a train
once you get there - it costs a fortune to park and traffic is bumper to bumper!
Who'd a thought a cat could drive this thing?
hard drive & software
I have an older computer I would love to upgrade. My problem is I have company provided Olympus software that I do not have the CD for. I have a newer computer with the software on it as well (I have 2 offices). I would like to either upgrade or retire the older one and even own a newer third computer that I use for other work, but I have to use the old clunker when I am at my second office because I cannot transfer the software, and the distance and time constraints have kept the MTSO from being able provide the CD to be loaded on the new computer.
Take Drive Only?...good info
I was going to suggest maybe removing the hard drive and shipping it and then purchase a computer there and replace it, or save all files needed to disc and then just take those. At least buying a computer you would have something to show for your money. Attached URL has some interesting information that might be worth considering. In the left hand column, where it says moving to spain, click on "What to take" and it gives some computer info.
20 miles is not far, 1/2 hour drive
if you can stay in his town, for now, and if it's better for the kids, and your first grader is comfortable with people working with him, and it's cheaper, maybe you can go visit your family regularly. A half hour is not far; people drive farther than that one way to work day.
also, it sounds like you agree there was nothing ever in common, it's okay, at least he is caring, and you can remain friends, and he is a good father. It's okay; you'll probably be happier in your own place.
dogs & prey drive
Don't you guys blame the dogs. This is normal, natural behavior for dogs & its called prey drive. Dogs can be taught to "leave it" but that takes time. Remember, dogs are only a few generations away from wolves & they have to hunt their food or the pack will starve......Learn about clicker training & how to distract your dogs from this behavior if you have a lot of critters getting into your yard......Dogs can learn to "leave it!", "drop it"! or OUT!
Well, I might agree to it..I can see why he doesn't want to drive so much every day! (sm)
That's a long way!! But then again, we are all used to my husband being gone a lot so, I don't know. That's just so far for him to have to drive every day...
'Cause where I live I have to drive to everything -
market, laundromat, post office, etc. No bus around here, and the train doesn't stop in this town. Also there wasn't much work in Feb., and I still had to drive. No cash for gas at the cheaper station, so had to buy the more expensive brand-name kind.
It's called Prey Drive
Yes, there are things you can do, especially depending on breed. In particular, if your dog is a large breed like a GSD or Rotti, please get on the web and research prey drive. Virtually every breed has at least 1 great web site dedicated to it where you can lurk or join and learn tons of stuff. Prey drive can escalate if unchecked, no matter how sweet and nice your dog is. High prey drive dogs may kill cats, dogs, etc. Most dogs simply want a job. If they get to do their "job" each day, some of their behaviors can be modified and changed. I understand how frustrating it is, but try to remember your dog is doing what is absolutely normal for him. Working on the problem now may really save you and your dog heartbreak down the road. I wish you both the best of luck!
3-way stops drive me nuts --
we have 1 at the end of our block. When returning home, I am always on the street that doesn't have to stop. Unfortunately, I do have to turn left from that street and for some reason the people across from me, waiting at the stop sign to come straight through, seem to think that they have the right-of-way.
They have a stop sign. I do not. If I don't put on my turn signal, they may think that I'm going to straight and will start through anyway and end up hitting me. If I do put on my turn signal, they think I should have to stop.
It drives me nuts. They may as well make it a 4-way stop.
Cars that drive on the ground.
I was sure everybody would be having cars that fly by now.
Also, I thought that sidewalks would move and we would not have to walk at all.
I never thought we'd still be cooking on top the stove, I thought there would be replicators (little machines we hit a button and comes out our supper or drinks).
For some reason, the Walt Disney version of the future, a ride which no longer exists in Orlando, BTW was my idea of the 21st century. Turns out that it is much different.
Yet, what do we have that we would have never thought about?
The Internet. 30 years ago such an idea would seem impossible.
On a date at the drive-in and got in the wrong car
Went to the bathroom and when I came back started to get into a car. Kept wondering why my friend who was also on a date in a car 2 cars away she and her boyfriend were waving their hands wildly yelling no, no. Opened the door and sat in the seat another girl was occupying. Started yelling at my boyfriend cos I thought he had picked up another girl until they said "whose Steve?"
Drive-ins.....okay that goes back to the 70s.
Not exactly embarrasing for me but speaking of Drive-Ins - sm
I was on a first date of sorts, had been out with the guy with some friends previously one time, this time is was just us, 1988 or so. I really like to go to the Drive-In and we had one of the last ones in the area at the time, and it was not too far from where we met for the date as we lived quite a ways from each other. Well he had other ideas apparently since we were at the drive-in. I went to the bathroom and came back to find him butt naked in MY car. Prior to this we kissed goodnight on our other "date" but that was it. I was pretty turned off by it and his expectations. Boy did he lay on the lines, guess he figured he had nothing to lose at that point. I made him get dressed, actually finished watching the movie, and I took him back to his car (he tried to talk me into going back to his apartment), and that was the last time I saw that pervert. He keep calling for months trying to get me to go back out with him, got a bit creepy for sure.
Losing your sex drive with menopause is
part of the natural progression of our biology.
I hate when I can't remember a name. Drive's me nuts.
Liz Sheridan (not really redheaded) and Estelle Harris (not so much large-nosed) fit somewhat to your description. They played on Seinfeld as Jerry and George's mothers. That might be where you're getting the NY/Jewish thoughts.
There's also Renee Taylor, Fran Fine's mom on The Nanny. I believe her hair was platinum blonde on most of that show, however.
My first thought when I hear large nose, red hair, and New York are Barbra Streisand and Bette Midler, but then you'd probably not have a hard time thinking of their names. LOL
I drive a Taurus! Is it gonna crash? LOL nm

Eat really good, no "fat' food drive through
as my husband calls them instead of fast food, no Cokes, no sweetened drinks, go organic if possible, olive oil only for cooking, very seldom sweets, don’t have a one in the home right now, but after prednisone for an illness as above, hard to get the weight off.
I agree with this. I drive all my cars to death.
I've been married 23 years, and between the hubby and I, we've had four new cars in all that time, five if you want to count the car he brought into the marriage with him, which was a couple of years old at the time. For me, I had a 1986 Aerostar van which I bought new and drove to death, and now have a 1998 Windstar van with 110,000 miles on it, plus a really cool custom Yakima rack for my kayaks! We do buy all of our cars new, and it's lovely to have long stretches without any car payments, like right now. DH is driving a 2001 Taurus. But he's got lots of miles on that due to long commute to work and traveling to clients. Bought that one with no money down at 0% because my hubby, a CPA, loved the idea of free money. So that was the biggest car loan we ever had, but the loan cost us nothing. The Taurus has about 160,000 on it, and DH is starting to warm to the idea of replacing it. We're considering either a camry hybrid to save on gas, or a nice sturdy Volvo, because statistics show that Volvos average almost 20 years on the road.
