I dumped the pump yesterday, when I got a check for $412.32 for the Youngstown oil under one lot that is only .83 of an acre and the paying oil company even paid the taxes on this City lot that even Grow Youngstown couldn't  get this type of return on what was once useless land in Youngstown.   But I never ever thought Youngstown land was useless :').

IF I could get to work any other way, I certainly would.  Bus is not an option since I work 11p - 7a.   >:(

I work for Comfort Keepers as an aid and companion to elderly people, most of whom have alzheimers.
I work the 11p - 7a shift 3 nights per week.

I have 2 clients right now, one on Mathews Rd and one in Liberty.

It was sent on the 12th in the Youngstown In General board.

"Peggy, in my spare time I've downloaded almost 3000 old time radio programs and almost 900 songs by the greatest superstars in music such as Barry Manilow, Frank Sinatra and the like and thought you might be interested in building your own library. These are all free to download and you don't even need to regester for an account."

Your clients might enjoy listening to some of the OTR programs.

No I didn't see it, sorry.  I'm still trying to get used to this forum software, as I'm used to vBulletin and XenForo.

OH this is nice. I wonder if I can download to my iPad? 
My Thursday night client would love these as she is very musically inclined.
I will check these out, thank you!

I don't know about iPad, but you might start by downloading to your PC into folders and then copy the whole folders to your iPad. They are all in MP3 foremat.

My music folder take up 3.25GB of space and my old time radio folder takes up 18.9 GB of space.

That's ok, I have an MP3 player around here somewhere. Just have to dig it out.
Thanks!

What I did was create folders for the various styles of music ... Pop; Movie and Stage; Classical; etc and with the old radio shows ... Comedy; Mystery; Variety etc and then sub folders for the programs ... Jack Benny; Amos and Andy; Burns and Allen etc.

Before you download too many first just download one or two to make sure they will play on your MP3 player, because they won't work on some players for some reason.

I'll be riding the WRTA that day.  I'll be introducing two senior citizens to the WRTA bus system.

I took the WRTA to Warren today for lunch with a few good friends.

Warren's hanging flower baskets are just beautiful.
