WHY is Paris Hilton still the top news story?
Why was she ever the top news story?

I love NC too but don't know much about it. Just that it is one of the most beautiful drives I have ever been on.

NC is awesome, but like everywhere else, if costs are low you have drive a ways to high income jobs.
People are real down to earth, but youd never believe the amount of drugs in the mountains everywhere.
ANd theres the good old boys law.
Example AHs dad beat his adult daughter (SIL) she left and pressed charges, the cops laughed and said what did you do to deserve it. They gave her 5 minutes to collect her things

I live on Long Island in NY. Depending on what part you're in, the rents go up. It's rare to see anything for less then $1000/month even in the bad neighborhoods. But, the pay rates are higher here and there's more jobs available...... but gas costs more, electric costs more, a stinkin pack of gum costs more. It's also a strange place to live, as you'll drive down one block full of bungalows and then drive down the next with huge mansions. The average house costs 500,000.... and you totally don't get your money's worth.

One of my friends moved to Virginia. She rented out an entire house including utilities, cable, phone for $500/month. Just don't remember the name of the town she moved to!

My brother's moving to Georgia. They're buying a house there and starting their own business. According to him, that's the place to move. Low cost of living and high salaries. But, I guess it all depends on what you do!

Ive done this before, what is the gas prices in your area?
milk?
average house?
average electric bill?

Here in Daytona Florida gas is $2.89 a gallon (today) milk $3.89 a gallon and average house over $200,000, although with no one buying the rates are dropping quick, my old home was appraised for $130,000 in a bad neighborhood, real bad and Ive got it listed at 99,500 and no calls, the house behind it is in bank liquidation, the people want $60,000

electric bill average $150 a month

2006 average price of homes - $606,859
Gas (according to the station next door) $3.59 a gallon.
I don't buy milk! Only soy milk! Which is 4 something a gallon.
I don't pay electric.... all tied into my rent.

hello everyone................

I'm a little off today.......
1st thing this morning I got a call from the treatment center my AH is in...someone verifing his address but the guy asked if he was home..........and when I said no he's suppose to be there.....the guy said he probably is I dont know I'm just a helper!!
So I have been fighting the urge to call and check......and I keep telling myself it doesnt matter anyhow......either way its up to him my life should go on as normal.....so I'm not gonna check

then theres the thread by frankly, gosh that hurts my heart. I feel so horrible for her and her daughter.......just a few days ago she posted about empty nest, letting our children go.........she did, she let go, she had faith ........ and her worse fears happened. I am struggling with the letting go with my own 18 year old daughter and ..............oh how I hate this world and the creeps in it!!!! We can't even be allowed to let go or to have faith that our children will be safe because in this messed up world...........they aren't safe!!!
my deepest prayers and concern go out to frankly her family and all the other families out there that have to go thur such awful things.........
