I guess it depends what profession you're in, too. Every doctor I have shaked hands with seems to always have really soft hands (I guess from all those years of moisturizing soap use?) I have a very strong handshake and usually expect the same. I've only had one embarrasing occasion where I shaked hands with someone my friend introduced me to in NYC. The firm grip wasn't a good idea for someone who already has carpel tunnel and needs his hands to get paid... ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

The world is eating its crow. Everybody's craze to get an SUV is paying off. Everything boils down to economics, and the reasons why you're paying so much is boiled down to three main drivers: - Demand for oil has risen - Supply has been increased, but refining problems have put gas on the short side - Speculators betting that the price of oil will go up, so prices on long term contracts for oil are increasing When demand for oil rises, the cost for producing oil does not go up (that's more or less fixed), so we make countries who have oil MUCH richer as demand pressure increases. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES!

Shit, I'm from Texas and I hate Dallas! TOP TEN SIGNS YOU HAVE JUST EXITED PHILADELPHIA COUNTY 1. You can start to smell the air again 2. You have to start paying out the wazoo to drive on the roads. 3. While scanning for FM radio stations, you notice most of the rap stations are gone and replaced with a) Christian Rock b) Country c) Public Access 4. You can see lots of purrrrty trees 5. You get passed on the freeway by lots of old people with New York license plates. 6. You're travelling in the opposite direction from all the "blue hair" busses on their way to "Allanic Ciddy" 7. You notice more Ford F-350 and Chevy Silverados on the road 8. The presence of cowboy hats (Texas/Tenessee wannabees) 9. You see a bowling alley (for some reason these are scarce in Philadelphia) 10. You can actually drive faster than 15 miles an hour down the interstate. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

It's funny how my friends in Harrisburg get all scared coming to pick me up on their way to Atlantic City and get so easily lost. I moved here and knew my way around in a matter of a month. They've been going back and forth through Philly all their lives! ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.
-
True........but somehow Philly always seemed even dirtier to me. It may have been a memory from my childhood of driving through Philly and seeing a Bum on EVERY SINGLE bench! Yeah the bums are still around.
-
Sheewt, every city in the northeast is dirty as hell. At least Myrtle Beach is in driving distance.
-
You know what's strange, when I visit my parents in TX I kind-of miss it, too. You either like this town or ya don't. You have to admit there is a ton of stuff to do here and it's never boring!
-
Oh lord I had a Tastycake. It's almost as bad (addictive) as a fresh Kirspy Kreme. What is even worse? I live on Chestnut Street and it seems EVERY time I come out of my building on my way to go have my car pulled, the Tastycake delivery truck is parked right by my front door on a run...
-
I could use one. I'm still recovering from a bad commute last week. I was in traffic from 6pm til 10pm going a distance 17 miles. Ugh. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

Planning to move up East? Here's some observations for ya! 1. Plan ahead, WAY ahead, which roads you are going to take on a journey. There are no such things as: - "feeder roads" - "turnarounds" - "access ramps" New Jersey is the only driver-friendly state. All the others treat vehicles as a necessary nuisance. 2. It snows. Gotta have an ice scraper for your car! 3. Surpress the urge to say "howdy" and "y'all" or you'll be immediately spotted as a foreigner. Practice saying "yo" and "youz guys" 4. Northerners are very weary when driving around you when they notice you have TEXAS on your license plate. This effect is 2x the larger the size of your pickup. Give yourself a star if you also have a BUSH-CHEANY bumper sticker. Give yourself an xtra 3 stars if you have an empty (but visible) gun rack. 5. In Texas it's customary to be crass to the waitresses at diners. Don't do this up here until they know you very, very well! 6. For urban dwellers, "homeless" people are everywhere. Let the tourists give them money. Keep yours in your wallet. I emphasize the "homeless" because they aren't really homeless. They have apartments and/or other accomodations. Their day job is to "score" in high-foot-traffic areas during the day. The ones who aren't staying at shelters will then move over to the club districts to harass patrons coming/going out of the bars and clubs as they let out. 99% of them aren't really homeless (as in living on the sidewalk) when 30 minutes before the shelters lock their doors for the night--most of them mysteriously disappear. *note for Philadelphia: this is also true for the folks who seem to wonder the streets aimlessly at night hollering drunk nothings. When the SEPTA trains shut down for the evening, they all miraculously disappear (probably to Northern Liberties I suspect). 7. In Texas, you can pretty much live anywhere and have a good commute to the office. Up here, most people prefer to work a shitty job and live extremely close to work rather than have a job they love but have a shitty commute to the office. 8. Unless you are in New Jersey, you are going to pay out the ass for gas. 9. If you are in New Jersey, all the states that are pissed off at your low gas prices (PA and NY) are going to stick you with big tolls entering/leaving the state. If you get New Jersey license plates on your car, you will be persecuted as you exit the state on road trips (people cutting you off, flipping you the finger, etc). 10. Fashion tip. People up here like to wear a lot of black, grey and brown. Stray from this pattern during the winter months and people will spot you as either a) a foreigner b) on vacation, c) a lunatic. 11. In Texas the only hat you can wear on your head is a) a straw hat or Stetson or b) a ballcap. Up here you can wear just about anything on your head EXCEPT selection a). The only exception to this rule is if you happen to be in rural Pennsylvania where the Texas/Tennessee-wannabees are. 12. In San Antonio you can get away with calling in RAIN to work, provided it's actually raining and you sound sincere enough about it with your boss. If you drive to work anywhere in the northeast it has to be about 5" of snow and 2 INCHES of visibility before you can get away with that trick. 13. Your car gets to experience all sorts of conditions when driving up here. However, the whether doesn't really affect the traffic patterns that much, so drive anyway. [ In Texas, most people don't know how to drive in anything but absolutele sunshine (San Antonio can have over 300 accidents/day in during a moderate rain shower). ] 14. When you say "I'm Irish" in Texas you get a shrug. Up here, you get respect. 15. In TX it's okay to say you hate The Cowboys or your local NFL/NBA team for whatever reason, people can understand. Don't do this up here (even though the Sixers still suck ass). Up here, you will root for that sorry team and you will LIKE IT. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

Ok, I moved here from San Antonio and here are my obervations about Philadelphia now that I've been here 6 months.
-
- The best freeways and more miles of expressway per capita than any city in the U.S., and yet two very major interchanges do not exist (U.S. 281 @ I-410... and U.S. 281 @ Loop 1640), you must exit the freeway and go to local roads and stop lights to switch freeways. - You only know your way around 2 or 3 sides of town. The rest is alien to you (i.e. South, West & North, but not East... or East, South and North, but not West). - You know better than to go eat Mexican food on Sunday morning, unless you are VERY hungry and willing to accept less-than decent alternatives. - You know better than to eat Mexican entrees on the Northside... just appetizers. - Your favorite Mexican food establishment has appeared on KSAT-12's "Behind the Kitchen Door" series for numerous health-code violations. - Your CPS bill (lights) runs about 1/2 of your rent / mortgage in the summer, even if you cut the power to your house and go on a month long vacation. - You aren't allowed to run your spinklers in your yard most of the week during the summer, but you constantly see ads for Splashtown, Schlitterbahn, Sea World and there's always a line to get to all the car washes on sunny days. - Jogging is something you do at a gym in the strip mall. Parks are for tailgating parties. - You know someone with an obscure Hispanic name, e.g. Maclovio. - You have actually waited in a line during the Holidays to get Christmas tamales, because a) you didn't order them early enough and/or b) you don't know how to make them and every one that does know how is already backed up with orders - Only in San Antonio can it take you 4 hours to get to Houston by air, yet only a few minutes more than that had you just got in the car and drove there. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES!
