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".


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!!  


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!
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
Y-City Star
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.
in Ohio, don't remember the city though and right
now the name of the company escapes me.  I do know that there is a company with the same name that advertises here, but they are in NJ I think. 
Thank you for the info--what city in California?
That isn't as good as I'd expect.
and he as mayor of that city had no responsibility at all?
Such convoluted logic. Believe me, he's doing a great job of pointing the finger of blame and ducking responsibility on his own without any help from you.
Have you taken a course? Do you live in a town/city that - sm
maybe you could get some PRN work or part time work to get your resume started?

rude city people
I hear you....twice in the past couple of months I have caught two different SUVs driving through the brush our our very well posted private property.  Apparently, they see our property as an off road play land.  It certainly is frustrating.  I hope they put some scratches in their pretty city SUVs.  Wishing for a fence and electric gate or a moat and alligators. 
Thanks for the info. I'm looking in Bryson City

Check with state and city

Portland has just decided to require all all I/C's have a business license.  Also check with your state to register your business name so you can put it on your checking account, etc.  It does cost but if you are a business and run it as a business you pay the the business costs as well as reaping the awards of the tax write off's.  But you need to check with your state and city for requirements.

PLEASE!! go to www.whiznews.com or www.zanesvilletimesrecorder.com and cast your vote. You should be able to hear me sing for about 90 seconds. The public vote is only a portion of the scoring. I will be judged on vocal quality and performance as well. The first night of actual competition is July 15th and then again on July 29th if I made it to the top 8. I appreciate each and every vote.  There is some stiff competition ahead of me. Lots of talent in OHIO!!! This is gonna be fun!


Y-City Star questions
I didn't see where we could listen or vote. I did find a picture of you though--you have very pretty color hair. Looks like you were putting your all into it. Good Luck!
Y-CITY STAR video is up

www.whiznews.com/ycitystar.php  Here's the link. Look for my name and then video. PLEASE VOTE. I AM STILL BEHIND. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!!


Yes. I got my adapter from Circuit City.
There may be other places where you can get an adapter.  Try Radioshack also. 
IF you will google either city you'll get

info as far as population, temperatures, etc.  Charlotte is a big financial center, also called the "Queen" city.   I don't currently live in Raleigh but did for 2 years and we really liked it.   Traffic is a bear, but people are friendly and tons of things to do.  There are 2 major teaching hospitals about 45 minutes away.  Lots of walking trails.    Cary is outside of Raleigh and that is a pretty nice place too.  It isn't quite the hustle and bustle of Raleigh, but is growing rapidly.   I would not live in Durham for anything.   If you've heard about the Duke rape trial you might understand.  Huge racial problems there. 


With Charlotte you are close to the SC border.   Charlotte also has lots of traffic.   My sister used to live there and I would visit but don't know much about the social scene there.  


Any experienced Kansas City MTs here

I need two MTs, clinic work, each for an average 500 to 1000 lines a day Monday through Friday, but usually around 700 to 800 lines.  Would like MTs who are really experienced and can turn in work ready to go to the client.  If interested, email me and we can discuss the work, pay, etc.


MUST have C-phone and you could start as early as Monday if you like!


If you live in or near a large city sm

Check the Yellow Pages under "Dictation Services" or "Transcription Services." Some of them train in-house for several weeks and are willing to work with newbies.


Good luck!


I'm not in a rural area. I'm in a big city and everything is SM
outsourced. My beloved company, run by a very decent man, was bought out by Edix. I thought they were bad until Spheris took them over. God help us.

Then there is the large community hospital, who has a "sweetheart deal" with another outsource company. You would not believe the garbage that goes on in this field.
Go to a store like Best Buy and Circuit City.

They have several models and you can compare features and play around with them, and also ask questions.   One is about as good as the other.   Each brand has had lemons.  Most all have pretty much the same bells and whistles.  It just depends on what you want.


If you are going to use for leisure like downloading music, uploading pictures, are you going to use for work, etc. 


I am in the Kansas City area... nm

Only if your city requires it. I work as an IC
and my city does not require a business license for this.
Check with your city and state.
I only found out about the license because the city came by asking me questions about my neighbors running a business out of their home for their investigation. They got caught and had huge fines. I now make sure to stay current on my licenses!
Hi Ella! I'm from New York City

I grew up in NYC..   multicultural, diverse,  many different neighborhoods. I love NYC  . Rude New Yorkers are a stereotype.   All kinds of people here.  Visit it sometime.


Love your posts, though... ths is an MT board - active, retired, former, and anyone who's thinking about becoming one.


Largest city in the state ...
and no jobs to be seen with unemployment double digits. Working outside of the home wasn't the issue, the point of the thread was overhiring by companies and not being able to make a living while tied to the company's minimum requirments. When there are so many MTs around the world and in the US, companies can overhire to keep their TATs low and keep us earning zip.
