  1. Thought so, thats why im moving there......job market is booming. No state income tax, and the property is dirt cheap (and will skyrocket in future years). I definitely will consider buying a home there when the time comes for me to get one. None here in texas too. I was making lots of money here. My parents are moving to Vegas too.........and theyre on like a 1 year waiting list for a house, but thats because everyone from LA is moving there in the same price range. From what ive heard, people are selling million dollar homes in LA and buying similar houses for 250,000 in Vegas.... The house that my bro-in-law bought in Henderson cost him and his wife a little less than $270K, and it EASILY would be $500K in an average part of So Cal, and well over $1M in some of the nicer neighborhoods. Unbelievable difference in the cost of housing. There's also an unbelievable difference in electricity bills (largely due to A/C that must be run practically 24/7 from March-September), but it's well worth it.
  2. Nah...she's got an older brother though, and he's the one that lives in Henderson. Want me to put a good word in for you?
  3. Manuel gets his ultimatum Williams wants improvement after break By Teddy Greenstein Tribune staff reporter July 14, 2003, 11:41 PM CDT In his strongest statements yet on manager Jerry Manuel's status, general manager Ken Williams left little doubt Monday that if the White Sox don't improve after the All-Star break, Manuel won't survive the season. Responding to a series of rumors and reports that Manuel could be fired Wednesday or Thursday, Williams said: "I've believed in the talent from Day One. I continue to believe in it. But we'd better get our stuff together and we'd better get it together in a hurry at the start of the second half." The Sox stumbled after reaching the .500 mark with a 12-inning victory against the Twins on July 2. Instead of feasting on American League bottom feeders Tampa Bay, Detroit and Cleveland, the Sox went 3-7 on a trip to finish the first half. They are in second place in the AL Central, seven games behind the Kansas City Royals. "They'd better do the job—otherwise they will have to fit me for a straitjacket by October," Williams said. "I don't want to turn on the playoffs this year and watch from a distance. This was our mind-set from beginning of spring training and that hasn't changed. Hopefully things will work out that way." If they don't? "If we ever decide to do something, there will be an announcement," Williams said. "Other than that, I'm focused on Thursday through the weekend and getting off to a good second half." The Sox won't have any excuses if they falter after the break. They play host to the Tigers (25-67) for four games, followed by a pair with Cleveland (41-53). After a two-game trip to Toronto (49-46), they are host to Tampa Bay (32-60). "I know [the first half] has been frustrating for the fans," Manuel said. "We've had some moments, some good series, but we're looking forward to getting this rolling. Now is the time where the guys should be fresh enough to make a push." If the Sox do replace Manuel, sources say they will consider Jim Fregosi, Terry Francona and Buddy Bell, who managed the Tigers and Rockies. Fregosi replaced Tony La Russa when the Sox fired La Russa during the 1986 season. He also managed the Angels, Phillies and Blue Jays. His career record is 1,028-1,094 Francona, Oakland's bench coach, managed in the Sox's minor-league system. Manuel said he's aware of the speculation surrounding his future. "Yeah, I read the newspapers," he said. "I like to know what's going on. Does it affect me? To some degree, yes. But not to the degree that it determines my life or who I am or what I'm about. "I have faith not only in what I'm capable of doing, but in the group of men that I'm trying to lead." As of early Monday afternoon, Manuel said he had not spoken with Williams. "I know he has been a part of the Futures Game and I know he has a lot of things going on here since the All-Star Game is at our home park," Manuel said. "If anything's on his mind, he'll let me know." Manuel was asked if he would be shocked if he were dismissed. "I don't think in those terms," he replied. "So obviously I would be."

I sure as f*** hope they are using this time off to get their s*** straightened out.
  4. True dat, but I work the graveyard, so 5 nights a week I'm not even home at this time. And the days that I am home, I'm usually doing "something" with my gf. But tonight, you "all" are blessed with my presence.
  5. Bmr, just curious -- what kind of work are you planning on looking for?

  7. I do suspect she started using drugs, which is what changed her so much, but thats only a guess. WHen we were together, she didnt use them. The most likely cause of mood and/or personality changes is drugs. That's a shame. Yup, despite everything, i do feel bad for her. SOMETHING happened to her, and its sad. One day shes gonna wake up and realize whats shes done, and hopefully at that point , she can get help. Im not sure drugs is the cause, its hard to say, but i do hope she gets help. When i first met her, she was the sweetest person i knew. This is sad. Get back to calling her a b**** -- that was more fun. Dude , i lost my job, my woes cant compare to hers, you know that......... True. There are more jobs out there, but if she's on drugs, she's f***ing up her 1 life, and that's something that she can't go back on. Sounds like you have the right approach. BTW, I don't think you ever answered my question about your future residence. Is it actually in Vegas, or is it in Henderson? WHat the hell is Henderson? I am moving to Vegas. Henderson, NV is the fastest growing city in America. It's just East (I believe) of Vegas, down the 215, about 5 or so miles. My future brother-in-law lives there, and it's a very nice city. s*** i heard vegas was the fastest growing. Oh well i think that whole area is booming. I got an apartment in the area of the Orleans hotel and casino, i cant wait! A lot of people lump Vegas with Henderson, which is why I wanted to make sure you were moving to Vegas Vegas, and not Henderson. One of these times when I'm in town we'll have to meet up for an alcoholic beverage or 2. Yeah when i get my new cell number, Illgive it to ya. Sounds great.........i wanna get to LA too. Coolness. From Vegas, you're less than 4 hours away from LA by car if you don't hit any major traffic.
  8. The Vegas Metro area is the fastest growing, and that includes the suburbs, the largest being Henderson. According to the 2000 Census. http://www.govspot.com/lists/fastestgrowing.htm

  10. Guess not. Although, I'm not normally on this late, so that's probably why.

  12. Bmr, wtf you doing still up? Can't sleep?
  13. With the Raiders, you can be Howie Long on defense, and as the ball is snapped, you can just dive and by the time the QB finishes his 4-step drop, he's down for a sack. It's quite realistic. I remember one year on New Year's Eve, I played an entire season of Tecmo (including playoffs) with the Raiders. I must have played for at least 5 hours straight. Oh, to be young again. *sigh*

  15. cwsox, the way you're being so defensive, I'd swear you have stock in the Sox.

  18. The hockey game that was discussed earlier was called Blades of Steel.
  19. Wow. You got screwed. Sorry dude.
  20. No. No. No. Believe it or not, she was a good girl. WOW. She's the exception to the rule. Mind if I ask more questions as a follow-up, or are am I rehashing s*** that you don't want to discuss? NAh its cool. Ive been responding to see how i react and feel and im totaly fine. Ive been over her for months, but it looks like im ok with losing my job now too. Go ahead.... The main question that I have yet to ask is about her past. But before I ask that, how long did you know her and how often would you see her? Did she tell you things about herself that someone wouldn't normally tell you? Ya know, did she empty her closet to you? We were together for 7 months, best friends for 14 months, and we talked for hours upon hours every day. Mostly on the net and phone. Yeah she told me everything. How come it was mainly on the phone and net? How close did you live to her? SHe lived 45 minutes away.... Oh. OK...did she ever speak of abuse in her past? Maybe abusive boyfriends? Abandonment by her father? Drug abuse on her part? Alcoholism? Something that would have been a hint that something might be wrong with her? No. She used to tell me she thought she was bi-polar, but im almost positive that was her excuse to do what she wanted and not feel bad........ Ugh. That's a bad sign, heh. But nothing other than that?
  21. What the f***?!?! I never seen or even heard of this system..Did they sell these in regular stores or specialty stores or what? I was a big gaming jeez and I would've maybe heard of it..Hmmm..interesting How much did it cost??? I forget how mych the NES cost trying to think right now.. When NES came out, I believe it was like $100. Am I imagining things? I know that it was a BIG deal to me when I got one, so it must not have been cheap. s***..$100 bucks back when NES was out was a whole bunch....We're paying well over $300 for systems now..so $100 looks cheap..but that was alot Well worth it though I'm talking to a buddy of mine on the phone, and he guessed $79 when they first came out. I'd say it's somewhere between that and $100.
