They saw it coming, alerting people to the fact their server was in the projected path of the storm.

Prefer the work activity to some of the other things I do (internet, a bit too much beer, stupid tv.) Yes, of course, there are better things to do, but I noticed I do not do them. Being self employed, with busy and slow times, I got many opportunities to test it.

I took a break too, and there was a reason -- something I experienced here and said it was not worth addressing with all the rest of life to live. Too small to spend time on, but annoying enough to remember. Came back today because I missed it.

Dad and I both have green eyes, we're both soft spoken, and we worked in the same profession. Unlike Dad, I could never stay in the same job for decades or ever want to. And I am much more physically active than Dad ever was. Mom was always the one to run and play.

I deleted a post I made because the paragraph breaks disappeared, and it looked like one long paragraph. Anyone else run into that?

I have a century old house in a city where I do some semi-retired part time work, self-employed. I also have a roughly 30 year old 650 sq. foot cabin in the country on three acres, about 80 miles from my city house. I can take a business expense for using space as a home office in both...

I own a second home, but it's for reasons that work well for me. I like to be able to get away impulsively when I want to. That is harder to arrange if I am renting. And I have two dogs that I want to take with me. I still also go on vacation to other places as much as I used to before...

Typical American. But the early examples on this thread hardly touched on my possessions. I think for me the insights come from spending the years from 30.5 to 49.5 in the same house. In my 30's, I was buying and buying. At 40 to 43, I donated things to people who were burned out, and to...

You asked. I'd wait. But your question surprises me a little because we had some down days when you could have gotten in at better prices. I say wait for another one.

Did anyone here decide a northern place, with seasonal cold, was a good place to retire? I'm asking because most of these "best" places are not near me, and when I think of retiring I look at one of the other northern states. (Close to where I want to get back to about once a month.) Just...

I have Firefox 8.0.1, with AdBlockPlus, but not NoScript if that's an add on.

That doesn't work for me either, with Firefox.

Midpack, I misunderstood your poll question. I saw how long did you keep.... And then did not see how old is your most recent.... For me, those are different questions. My oldest Mac is very old, and the one I am typing on now is about 9 years old and is great. It's my primary. But, I...

I got my dog at 18 months. He flunked out of guide dog training school and I had been on a wait list there for 4 years, for a flunked out dog after my dog died four years earlier. (A blind friend told me about it, so I had signed up.) My turn came for this young beautiful dog.... He came...

P.s. I think I got the wood and put it in place, and he nailed. It wasn't hard. You'd have to ask Dad why not. :) Dad planned to be an architect, but became a lawyer. I forgot why. (and he didn't use a nail gun. He said Kat, this nail has to go there, or something like that...

The tumbleweeds in my experience were big and round and rolled in the sand (open space) and wind. Guessing they could have picked up other things...... The road they called Rt 20 was a dirt road before it became Rt 20, Mom said.

Freebird, You and me are in upstate NY, so here's my question. I apologize for a brief departure from the OP's question. You used the word tumbleweed. That is a word from my growing up years in the sand of the suburbs of a city in upstate NY. We called it the Sand Hill. In the winter, we...

Ferco, do you have any kids or grandkids in the 9 to 12 range? The money is in the product, the wood flooring, not the work. You and a kid can install them yourselves on a weekend. There seems something odd in the money, so if it was me, I'd keep looking to price the product.

Getting $$$ information ahead of the US public is wrong. You do not have to be republican or democratic, liberal or conservative or progressive or anarchist to know this.

Chinaco, Thank you for this link. I try to catch Wealthtrack which is on at 6 on Saturday in upstate NY on PBS, but I keep forgetting it. So, I used your link and kept stopping the video, pushed it back, re-played it, more than once..... My answer is I don't know. My personal situation is...

Nords, I'm sorry for the loss of your good friend and neighbor. Your write up is very special. It sounds like this man died doing what he wanted to do.

...when I was 28 and winning some cases in my new career as a lawyer, just by doing some good research. Dad, who is still living, was an appellate lawyer and lived by his research ability. Dad had a nice way of saying "good job" when I was starting out and it was easy for me to hear. (I...

Al, I was going to find the emoticon that covered this.... Then I said hey, what's that "thanks" tab sitting right next to the "quote" tab so I tried that instead just because I felt like it, but didn't see what that did. So here's another try.....:2funny:

Hey, Nords, is there a way to get that podcast if you have a first edition?

Where I am, when people ring the bell and ask if they can shovel, they all want $20. I can't say for sure if they saw how long the driveway is, or how wide in the back, because you have to go up to the gate and look. I'd ask the kid what people usually pay him.
