    Has anyone ever relocated?

    Ok, well now it is getting more difficult. I looked up the address of the business on Google, and the location of where I would be working is like right on the bay. It isn't exactly in SF, either - it is across the bay, in an area they call East Bay, which is more reasonable in price for...

    My trip and the NHL

    I know what you are saying, but I have also seen this kind of behavior in hockey. The other night I was watching a game, and a player skated by the opposing goalie and came close to touching him, and the goalie fell dramatically to the ice. There was no call made, but they should be using the...

    My trip and the NHL

    Not always. Waiting for the ball to be moved, and if it has to be measured, then that is more time, then some huddle time for the play to be called, and then they line up. And if there was a time out, or an injury, you may go to a commercial, depending on how close the score is, and how soon...

    My trip and the NHL

    Done that, too - we used to vacation every year in Myrtle Beach, SC, and there are tons of stock car racing tracks down there. So we would go to the local track one night, and enjoy the sights and sounds of down home racing. Love it. Lisa

    Has anyone ever relocated?

    I understand about not being in it for the money, but did you have any moving situations where you wondered if you were going to be able to feed and clothe yourself? That is pretty much where I am at. The amoutn of money I pay for housing in Rochester is probably less than half of what I would...

    Has anyone ever relocated?

    December 2004. Usually the average time frame from diagnosis to death is about 3 years, although in some cases, the disease goes into a kind of remission all by itself, and some people live for years with it in an arrested state. There is a man that lives right down the street from my dad who...

    My trip and the NHL

    I like watching soccer, but it isn't as popular a sport in the US as it is in the UK, so there isn't that much to watch. It is pretty popular in my city - we even built a soccer stadium - but I would have to pay to see locals play, and that just isn't in the cards. And in defense of NASCAR...

    Has anyone ever relocated?

    I am not very knowledgable about the economy is Europe - is there a huge difference in the cost of living from one country to another? Like from Italy to France? Did you ever move to a place where the cost of living was considerably higher than where you were moving from? Lisa

    Has anyone ever relocated?

    Thanks - it is not a nice disease. He just wastes away, and there was no warning, so it wasn't like he could do things that he never did before, and make up for any lost time. He just started losing his motor skills. Right now, he is in a wheelchair full-time, and he now can't lift his arms...

    Has anyone ever relocated?

    I live in NY, and I have been wanting to move to the Southwest for a few years now. The possibility exists, since I keep receiving hits on the resume I have posted on Monster. And I seem to do pretty well in the interviews, but they can never pay me enough money. Plus, now my dad is dying of...

    My trip and the NHL

    Hooks: Welcome to the wonderful world of hockey!! NHL games are the best to see - the first time I went to one, we had seats behind the goal, just about high enough so that if it popped out of play I would get it in my face. I spent a lot of time ducking. Now we sit down low enough so we can...

    Exercise and Dieting

    All wonderful advice!! The thing is, we all know what we SHOULD be doing, it is the actual DOING that we get snagged by. Through joining Weight Watchers in January, I have learned to lessen my portion size. That alone has been the largest contributor to my weight loss. I haven't been able to...

    I am also incredibly pale. Irish mom, Italian dad. Got only the Irish genes for skin tone. And the baby is even paler than me. Her dad has a family full of red hair and freckles, so she has the tanning thing totally against her. I don't necessarily embrace my paleness, it would be great to...

    Dress codes

    Me, too - I joined Weight Watchers in January, and I have lost over 15 pounds so far. Thank GOD! 15 pounds on a 5'3" frame is like 2 sizes. And I am looking around at some other fitness equipment, like a leg extension/leg curl bench, and a calf raise machine so I can do more with my legs this...

    Hanging up my mouse

    Congratulations, Brian, on successfully making it to your retirement. How I envy you. The mere idea of not having to go to work everyday is just unfathomable tome at this point. Enjoy your leisure time - I hope it includes lots of fun, travel, and relaxation. You deserve it!! Lisa

    Dress codes

    Alright, back to the question at hand. At the last place I worked, for a period of time, when our big boss had an administrative assistant who didn't like capri pants, we had a dress code where no one was allowed to wear them. Pretty ridiculous, I thought. As you say, better than some of the...
