No, I live in TN and love it ! It is beautiful!
It is warm in the summer and cold in the winter, but never too much of either! It is "just right!"
love the art, sends heartbreaking message, still beautiful
Water here, too. I fill water bottles halfway and freeze them
so I have ice water for the entire day. It's easier than trying to cram ice cubes down the little mouths of the bottles. I confess to having coffee, Earl Grey tea and a cola today because I'm too tired from the idiots who were rodding their cars around in front of the house from midnight until 3:00 a.m. last night. Oh, well. At least I'm off today.
Have done Royal Caribean 2 x-- first time with parents (I was 20) - sm
next time as an additional wedding gift from my parents (they went too) about 9 months after my wedding-- had a blast on that one too. Great food (you will gain weight unless you really watch yourself), nice activities, great places to visit and see. Have enjoyed all the tours, etc. and never had any problems or screw ups with either experience. Drinks are expensive of course (not included in cruise cost), you have to tip about 4-5 different people, so much per day of the cruise which can get expensive presuming you adhere/follow their guidelines. I would love to do another one at some point myself---Have a good time!
Way down here now, but I'm GOING TO THE BEACH!
I have cooked for everyone one in my family and everyone in everyone else's family for the past 30 years (on the nose).
This year my daughter and I are heading east to the beach at a quaint motel with a handful of restaurants. I'm thinking stuffed shrimp this year instead of stuffed turkey!!
You have fun RadGuy!!
Yes! And a beach!
:)
Is there still one in Deerfield Beach?
..
Try Turtle Beach
Audio Advantage. Essentially it is an external sound card. Plugs into USB port and then your headphones plug into it. I have had one for about a year and cant live without it. My problem is so called "secret" dictators. A lot of my docs think their dictation is a secret or something and talk so low that I simply cannot hear them. The Turtle Beach does wonders for them. There are tons of options to play with that helps clear up noise too. One warning though, it will render your speakers useless and you only have sound through your headphones unless you uninstall it.
Me too!!! The beach is the most relaxing and best!!!
I absolutely love Florida for the same reason, the beach. I'm planning Aruba next year, I simply can't wait!
I did South Beach also -
and lost the tummy area first. I was absolutely amazed how I was never hungry and didn't crave chips, ice cream and chocolate! I found it time consuming preparing the meals, but the results were worth it.
Myrtle Beach.
We stayed at the Royal Garden Resort through Dunes Realty (Dunes.com) and had a great time. It cost us about $800 for the week. It was right on the beach and was within driving distance of anything fun.
Hopes this help.
1.88 yesterday in Va Beach, Va.

cranky beach
I would have to agree with you on the tools. I was semi-retired for six years due to pain syndrome from what they are now calling "repetitive stress syndrome" MT itis is what I called it. LOL
$2.39 for regular in Boynton Beach, FL.

Sunrise over the beach in Rodanthe, NC

Anyone ever been to Flagler Beach, Florida?
I met my husband of 18 years at the beach.
I was 17 and a Junior in High School when I met the love of my life at the beach. It was wonderful - no alcohol involved and we didn't meet in a bar. We just celebrated our 18th anniversary November 14th, and have two children, a son 16 and a daughter 14.
Myrtle Beach! Nothing to be ashamed of! I would rather go there!!!nm

South Beach Diet
I have had this same problem! I gain too much weight with each pregnancy, then when I finally get it off I have ended up prego again. HA. Well, it won't happen that way again. Anyhow, I did the South Beach Diet between my last 2 kids and lost 54 pounds in just a couple of months (a little over 4). I actually lost my weight in this area first. I am just starting it up again for the same reason, and because I know it works--I have done it before. The first 2 weeks are kind of hard to stick to (at least for me as all my teeth are sweet teeth), but it goes by fast actually and you won't believe when you step on the scale and each day your weight is down and you drop clothing sizes. Just typing this is enough motivation again for me to do it. I didn't exercise the last time and the weight just melted off, so I don't know about any exercises. Good luck to you! :)
South Beach Diet
When I did it the last time they only had the blue book out, now they have cookbooks too and the foods at the store so it will be even easier to stick to. I just bought a treadmill and am sad to say after 15 minutes I am dying! HA.
I have even seen the South Beach books on ebay for cheap. :)
south beach d question
would someone tell me please a few examples of 'good' carbs and 'bad' carbs, and/or what causes them to be good or bad? Thanks.
My friend got married on the beach...sm
They rented this beautiful place for a week for the wedding and the guests - a huge mansion-type place just for them.
They wore white....she wore flowing cotton white, he wore a white shirt and white shorts, they were barefoot (actually everyone was barefoot) with she wearing foot jewelry. These are not youngsters either (in their 50s) but a first marriage for my friend (she never found Mr. Right until she found Mr. Right - so happy for her - she deserves it and more). It was exquisite - everyone else was dressed neat-clean-casual - slacks on women, except for her sister who was Maid of Honor......but it was real casual with the finest of food and drinks :)
I think it's up to the people getting married - never let anyone dictate such a special occasion!!!
North Myrtle Beach
Having lived at Pawley's Island - this is some really pretty country. Get out of the car at the Myrtle Beach Sign in the middle of the highway for some photo ops. Also, for those of you traveling to North Myrtle Beach - please make a short trip (30 minutes with no traffic) down to Pawley's Island and see the Brookgreen Gardens and Hunnington Beach. There are also a lot of "real" little shops at Pawley's Island with real treasures to find - not cheap souvenier stuff. You can watch the weavers make the Original Pawley's Island Hammacks. I know that you are all probably going for either the beach or the golf, but beware that the sewage drains into the ocean up on the Grand Strand and there is usually a daily feces report - so if it is high - don't go into the water. I hope that ya'll have a great time. If you get the chance - try some Shrimp and Grits, frogmore stew and some of the other low country delicacies. You will have a blast. Remember hurricane insurance, too - in case one is headed that way and you don't want to lose your money on your flight and accommodations. 
South Beach Diet sm
beel ala orange with brown rice and broccoli, carrots, and bamboo shoots...only thing is, they forgot the brown rice...I am still hungry. yarrr.
Does any one know one with a beach and breaker sounds?
Thanks for sharing. This is the first time I saw something like this.
I use a Turtle Beach device.
It plugs into the back of the computer and enhances the volume as well as the quality of sound. But I needed to get an extender from Radio Shack since it plugs in the back (but if you have any USB jacks in front, that would work too).

kudos to cranky beach
LOL... I just have to say this cranky beach...... with that nickname I would not have thought you to be so helpfulllllll....LOL You are just a peach of a person to be taking your time to help...and for that I send you mucho kudos......thanks....even though it is not me you are helping here.
Very nice, quiet, family beach
except for the biker bars (which are really kinda fun!). Small local market in the square on Friday. Nice beach, good restaurants, close to Daytona and St. Augustine if you are looking for more action.
A little cool for swimming IMHO, but with good weather it's nice to dig your toes in the replenished beach.
The beach, anywhere. Warm and sunny and lots of fun!
But, Niagara Falls is always beautiful no matter what time of year. It's actually cheaper to stay there in the winter than the summer.
You gotta pick anywhere where you can just focus on each other and let the world go on without your for a night, a couple days, a weekend, maybe a week (yeah right) whatever.
South Beach sounds good - sm
I have actually bought some of the South Beach foods at the grocery store and really like them. Did you buy the book or what did you go by when you started South Beach? I don't have a treadmill anymore, but do have an elliptical machine...I wonder about that? Thanks for your information....
we've gone to Ocean City or VA Beach (sm)
We're looking to maybe going to Idlewild Park for 2-3 days (taking a long weekend) this year.
Look at Audio Advantage by Turtle Beach
It is a USB thing that looks like a flash drive and it bypasses the sound card. It has lots of settings to adjust to improve sound. I got it and didn't think it made much difference, but then didn't use it for a couple of days and realized that it did make a difference. I got mine at Best Buy for about $30. There have 3 different levels and I think Audio Advantage is the middle one (which was the only one they had at Best Buy). You can Google Audio Advantage by Turtle Beach and probably find their website.
Creative is a good brand of sound card and likely it isn't the sound card that is the problem, just poor quality dictation. The USB thing above will help, but if you don't have good dictation to work work, you can only do so much. If you don't have them also try noise-cancelling headphones. They are rather pricey, though can probably get a good pair for about $60 or less on sale, and they make a significant difference too.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!!
HEY YUCK - YOU ARE AS BEAUTIFUL AS IT GETS! LOVE YA MAN!
that is beautiful, thank you....
I am going to email this to my best friend who lost her mother a few years ago. This time of year is always hard for her, as is her mother's birthday. Thank you!!
Beautiful here!
Not to brag - but it is mid 80's, blue skies with little puffy clouds and a nice breeze. Of course, we are in the Pacific NW. Love it here - this is why we left the valley!
Beautiful!
Beautiful MT/ad
Well, I clicked on the link and could not get this ad up - so I missed out on the "beautiful MT". My question here is - are there any really beautiful MTs out there any longer - or are we all overworked, paid too little for our services, expected to do a lot of work that is not connected to the production that we are paid for - and receive little or no benefits or job security. I can tell you after 15 years, I do not feel very beautiful. Would like to hear from those who are "beautiful" and if the procedure to get that way was very painful, as I am contemplating some work.
Thanks so much for this beautiful
prayer. It's exactly what I needed to begin this new day and new year. God bless us one and all.
Myrtle Beach is a GREAT place for a vacation
get South Beach Diet book or see online..sm
the author is Dr. Arthur Agatston, cardiologist here in s. florida
Outer Banks, NC...Don't waste time on VA Beach
I live in Virginia Beach and there's not much to do here and definitely wouldn't recommend taking a vacation here. Unless of course you like rubbing elbows with all the tourists crowded on the boardwalk. We love going down to the Outer Banks. It's much more laid back there and you can claim your own little stretch of beach cuz it's not so crowded. The locals are much nicer there and you can rent a beach house for pretty cheap if you look around.
If you say I am rich and beautiful...will I be?

COLD, 40s, where are you. BEAUTIFUL here in NY.

Can hardly see through the tears here...that was beyond beautiful!!!
Bless you and your wonderful family. What else can I say but...
Peace...out.
Beautiful out today...
Hey RadGuy, hopefully you are out somewhere enjoying the beautiful day here in Lexington. I just got home from going out with me, myself, and I to Johnny Carino's (Hamburg Place) for a wonderful lunch. Then I went to Value City Furniture and spent an hour looking around. I started to go to Office Depot, but I have this thing about computer desks and decided I had better just come on home !! 
and it is a beautiful state, but...sm
You ask about attitudes. This is my opinion. I lived there for 4 years in the 1970s, got married in Denver in '79. I found the people somewhat racist against many types of people...maybe that has changed today. I lived in Georgetown, Dumont, and Denver (Glendale and Capital Hill), worked from Loveland Pass way out west in the Rockies to the Bull 'N Bush in Glendale (very east of Denver) when the Broncos went to the Super Bowl, crossing all walks of life. I would hope, today, it has changed for the better. Your Father's Moustache Band was around then and still around today.
Same here, beautiful here in VA 60-70 last 3 days - sm
today we are supposed to get rain and snow, yuk, and back to the cold weather to boot!
Your kitty is beautiful!!! (nm)

Outside weddings can be beautiful...
Don't underestimate this. I had a friend who had a casual wedding (she was not barefoot) but the guys wore blue shirts with khaki pants in a park-like setting with the creek traveling by it. Cut-offs would have been extremely out of place there. Slacks and a casual top would have been okay but I think the best choice is a dress (not exceedingly dressy) and sandles. My experience - one of the prettiest weddings I have ever been to.
Sounds Beautiful
Patti that sounds just wonderful. I'd love to live somewhere like that. I sounds so peaceful and relaxing.
Yes...trust her. It's beautiful! NM
