Why do you want to move? What don't you like about living LI? Why do you think this area would be a good fit for you? What is your rental payment range? Your house range? It might be challenging to find a rental home that will take multiple animals. I think libraries are better up North than down here. But they're okay here. Whether it's a good fit for you or not depends upon what you're looking for.

I'm not qualified to give legal advice, but I have an advanced degree in telling other people what to do via anonymous discussion board postings ..... While some companies have internal rules against "backfilling" laid off positions, there's nothing illegal about it, assuming they didn't choose to lay you off for reasons that are unlawful (gender, race, age ...). [Note this does not apply in a unionized...

We already pay and shoulder a large tax burden here in NC. I would hesitate to raise taxes to cover budget shortfalls. Fortunately we can't print money like the Federal Government does with the Fed. Reserve so our money has to come from taxes. Either cut expenses or raise more revenue (increase taxes). It's very simple. Should we be spending more on education? Absolutely. The question is where does the money come from.

You make a very valid and easy to agree upon point depending on context. When...

"What happened", as the article says, is out-of-control population growth coupled with everyone's having several phone lines nowadays. A few short years ago, NC only had two area codes (919 and 704) but as soon as FAX machines, computers (at the time, dial-up), and later, cell phones, of course, started using up the number of...

The only advice I could give you and I'm being sincere, is to ease off the gas a little. 80 in a 65 is pushing it to say the least. Most of us go 5-6 mph over on the freeway, but anything up around 10 mph or greater is going to get you tickets. I'm not judging you, we all are guilty of traffic violations, we don't intend to do, just most of time we don't get caught. Watch your speed, as I hear they really crack down on...

I had a client stay at the Microtel in Morrisville/Cary near the airport. She said it was clean but no frills, at all. She also said that some of the flight attendants were staying there, as well. Vicki
