You can downgrade. I just did it....I bought an iPhone last October and decided a few weeks ago that it wasn't worth it, so I sold the iPhone and am now back on a regular plan. As long as you stay with AT&T, they'll work with you.

We used to live near the Lorimer stop on the JMZ and there was always parking on the south side of Broadway....just take Lorimer down a couple of blocks and make a left. There should be plenty of spots.

There's also a listing of Vermont farmer's markets and farmstands. (Weird. I'm doing a similar trip this weekend. Must be the time of year.)

Go to one of the urgent care places. (You're in Dallas, right?) They should be able to see him quickly and they're not as expensive as an emergency room. I think there are some late-night ones around.

Horseback riding. Many Olympians are in their 40s and 50s.
posted to Ask Metafilter by youcancallmeal at 12:57 PM on August 3, 2008

swerve- I didn't see your comment, but I wasn't making an uneducated judgment. With enough money, natural talent and time, someone could start riding in their twenties and be an Olympic caliber competitor by their forties. I say this as someone who has been riding for almost 25 years herself.
posted to Ask Metafilter by youcancallmeal at 3:19 PM on August 3, 2008

No, but it was due to a lack of money, not a lack of talent. If the poster has a modicum of talent and shit tons of money...well, I've seen some crappy rich riders in my time on horses that are doing all the work. It can be done.

Ithaca, NY! We were just there this weekend and I completely fell in love with the place. Relatively liberal and lots of cool cafes and farm stands to check out as well as plenty of outdoor recreation.

That said, knowing what you're interested in would help people answer this question.
posted to Ask Metafilter by youcancallmeal at 7:37 PM on July 28, 2008

Yeah, Ithaca proper might be a little big for you, but there are lots of little towns just outside (20-30 minutes) that are completely lovely. I hear the winters can be rough, though.

I figured price might be an issue, but I haven't even gotten any counter-offers. Not to mention that I've been seeing the same ads popping up on CL over and over again...the market there seems saturated. I'm just wondering if there's an alternative.

It sounds like he's waiting for some sign to tell him that things are the way that they're supposed to be. I've been in a relationship like that for the past year and a half and while we still care for each other and get along famously, there has to come a time when you realize that there's either a future for you or there isn't. If he's waiting for a sign from the heavens, so to speak...that future might simply not exist. There's no real reason for it and my heart totally goes out to you. It... [more]

I'm about the same size you are and honestly? Fuck the haters. I wear shorts (although long ones, since they're more comfy), tank tops and swimsuits all I want and the worst comments I ever get are cat calls and people asking about my tattoos. You're chubby, but you're not fat. No worries at all. (Feel free to MeMail me if you want to discuss this further. I can totally relate to the predicament, I've just learned to not care.)

I have similar hair and I've been rocking varying lengths of the pixie cut for years. Sometimes with bangs, sometimes with a fauxhawk, etc. I don't do any maintenance and it usually looks decent. MeMail me if you want picture examples.

You know, I have this same problem and I think what Ashley801 said makes a lot of sense. I give a lot to my relationships and friendships and I find that I rarely get back the same amount of effort from women that I do from men. When I'm with other women, I feel like there's a constant battle of "look at me!" raging from both sides of the fence that simply gets tiresome. I feel like my male friends just pay attention to others better, just as I try to do for them.

Go to the highest ranked school that you can, otherwise (especially in the dwindling economy), you run a very real risk of not being able to find a job.

Rather than Fell's Point, I'd say head up the Federal Hill and go to The Dog Pub for their beer and food. Perfect on a warm spring day. You can walk there easily from the Inner Harbor as well.

I don't know anything about science departments, but re: timing...yeah, I would definitely mention it. If they're hiring this late, I can only assume they really need people for the fall (this is the position my department finds itself in right now) and not being able to teach in the fall may very well be a deal breaker.

I've already had years of work experience, both related to law and not. I'm graduating college at the age of 27, so don't really want to waste more time working shit jobs, especially shit jobs in politics. (I like law and planning, I don't really like legislation and politics.)

Clarification:

Decent job does not necessarily mean making crazy money. If I were comfortable with my chances of getting into a top tier law school, I know I'd have to work to get into Big Law to make a lot of money to pay off my loans. If the alternative is going into less debt for a Masters and making less money in my job and not working 80+ hour weeks, I'm okay with that.

I'm also not completely tied to the eventuality of getting a law degree.... [more]

Honestly, I'm of the school that if you have to say it to make them believe it, do you really mean it at all? My boyfriend leaves me surprise cupcakes, makes me tea in the morning and brings me gummy bears. That's what shows me that he cares.
