I'll be getting that IRS economic stimulus payment in May (or whatever it's called) and the amount will be MORE than what I'd make in 2 weeks, so that covers missing the time off work. :thumbsup2


OMG that is great that the bonus will cover two weeks pay but I am shocked a bit I supopse that you can live well on so little. Is Michigan a really cheap place to live. Maybe because of the snow. :lmao: I suppose California is one of the worst states as far as everything being costly but I'll gladly pay for no snow. :laughing:

Oh, I am using mine for our spending money. It doesn't come close to my pay for 2 weeks...how do you do it??? I'm impressed.....must be living in michigan to california;)

Hey I just asked about Michigan being cheap. I wonder if that is it? Any place has got to be cheaper then where we live Steph. The prices I call normal, when I have visitors from out of state they look shell shocked by some things.

But I don't think I could live on under 450 per week no matter where. I mean do cars cost so much less...What about daycare? I know people that move out here from the midwest and they are shocked by the housing prices, but they have said everything else is very similiar...even dinner out/groceries...I was just adding up...theres no way...i guess I'll stay in cali....I like sun too!:thumbsup2
 
Well, I'm going to try to get a room at the Hyatt to make things easy on Tyler....less travelling around. Just get off the plane and head to a room. But we won't be in by the time of the meet you mentioned. Our plane gets in at 7:35pm. I haven't had time yet to see if they have a room and the rate. Probably won't have time until Saturday because every day I have stuff going on after work this week.

I think I used a AAA rate and my room was $154 I believe for a standard room there. :thumbsup2
 
Have you been to a chiropractor? We are so much better since beginning our regular treatments.

yup I go. When the pain gets intorable that is my choice to deal with it. Paul is asking me to go to the othro/sports med doctor, but I know the routine, PT and exercise. The chiro treats the pain and I can at least move around.
 
:hug: for all who need it today.

Lisa...great pictures, your boys are adorable. I think you were the last one in our group to surprise someone...so now everyone knows! :goodvibes

The Hills....I catch that show when I can on line because Scott can't stand it. Does the new season look good? I can't wait to see it.

Off to see a few more patients and then parent teacher conferences where we get to go over final plans for the cruise! :cool1: But I already know their homework for the most part.

The hills is fine..if you accept that it's scriped reality. It's still funny to watch these young girls...must be nice...

I think some prices are much less. When we eat out in North Dakota (when visiting Paul's family) it's much cheaper. The cost to prepare things are less, because the wages are less. Therefore daycare is much less. It is a reallity check from where we are in CA. The Bay Area is one of the most expensive places to live. But, we also have great weather, I couldn't do the snow either.

You know, when I go to Michigan to visit my Mom and sisters, I go to the casinos and oddly enough . . . I lose just as much and just as fast as I do in CA!!!

I'm going this weekend, leaving the bright sunny warm weather of CA to the cold snowy weather in the UP!

Just kidding. Have a good trip, hope it's not too snowy :banana:
