So, sound in... first name/nickname/location in NY... I'll go first...

Cj/Pricelessheart - Harriman, NY

then we'll bump up the list so we all know who we all are. We have a nickname on the floor...

"NYMiddies Our Lucky Sweepers" (Keeping the OLS - our FAVORITE sweeps site initials in our name...) anyone else go an idea....

:halo: *giggles*

[Pricelessheart]

Noreaster on the way - wonder if we will all be snowed in for the weekend.... hmmmm gotta love those massive snow days... my kids call it " mommy's sweep delight"!!! Those are the days I keep the kids in their jammies - get movies lined up on Direct TV - in each of their rooms (girls in one room - 13, 15, 18) and boys in theirs (10,11) - snacks in each - dog bones for the dogs (2 of em)... hubby usually out plowing (he works for village).. and me and the computer cup of coffee, tea or hot cocoa.... and in my glory -sweeps sweeps and more sweeps!!! whooohooooo

[Pricelessheart]

Hi there!

For some of us mid staters and upstaters not close enough to Westchester or the Island or the City - just looking to meet and greet and make new friends with those around us!

Hello and Welcome!!

What is your first name please? *smiles*

I'm Christine or most people call me "Cj".

Hoping that this finds you well!!

[Pricelessheart]

Finger Lakes

Willi - I just saw your name at the end of your post - sorry for missing it the first time! *smiles*



Welcome! Welcome! Welcome!

[Ziggywag]

:smile9: Hi from Florida :D No, not the warm sunny one, the one that got snow this morning here in Orange County NY. Although, having just returned from the OS Orlando get-together, I would totally rather be in the warm sunny FL right now LOL For those who don;t know where it is, it's sort of between Middletown and Monroe next to Warwick and Chester, right in the black dirt region where they grow all the onions - ya gotta smell it in August :laugh:

Terri - Florida, NY

Glad to know there are more of NY OC people here.

[HASAMA]

hi you are around the corner from me more or less you are on one side of pine island i am on the other

[Pricelessheart]

Hi Terri in Florida.. (not the sunny warm one!)

Wow you 've been around these OLS parts for awhile... how long have you been sweeping? Do you belong to any other "clubs"?

Yes, it's great to know there are other Orange County folks as well as all those between us and the Finger Lakes /Albany/Syracuse etc.

All I ever read about anywhere is those on the Island, the City, Westchester- good to meet and greet others closer to our neck of the woods!


I work on 17M in Monroe - just before Chester..... I live in Harriman - a hop skip and jump from the commons - all the kids in Monroe Woodbury Central School District.

Nice to mee ya!

What oh lord.. having a brain misfiring this morning.... what did you go do in Florida - a convention? (there's the word I was looking for!! *laughing* ugh!)

[Ziggywag]

I was in the warm Florida for the Online-Sweepstakes get-together on 11-15 and I made it an 11 day vacation (then came home for 2 days and left for freezing cold TN for my dollywood prize win) Here is the link about the OS get together with lots of pix of all 11 of us that were there. http://www.online-sweepstakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90657 We had a blast as the pictures clearly show. LOL

Hasama We bookmark the onion fields don't we? :D

[HASAMA]

very much so but there was a bad accident accident there today, thegentlemen that works for me is a volunteer in the howells f.d he had his radio on and a call came through (not for his dept) that a woman got stuck in a conveyor belt and they had to call out a rescue team

[Ziggywag]

OMG thats horrible. I hope she survived. There do seem to be quite a few farming accidents and because usually it is so far out in the fileds, it takes a while before help arrives. That's one area where cell phones are really a necessity.

[HASAMA]

i know but i got very squeamish when i hear it because the machine had no safety feature on it where it would shut automatically and they had to get rescue there , the only saving grace is that it is a big open area there so if they hve to stat flight her to westchester medical that can be done quickly

[Pricelessheart]

Hiya All!


Everyone ready for snow!?! It would seem we are going to have some snowy weather for the weekend.

Which made me wonder - are there any NY sweeps with a winter/Christmas theme out there?
Post one Post all....

I'm off to google to see what I can find!

[HASAMA]

hi again i stocked up on the most important thing i need dog food so i am set and ready for the snow, as long as the guy that plows my driveway and shovels my steps is i have 3 front porches and can not get out unless they are cleared, as for my driveway it iskind of long and he needs to clear it for me to get my car out in an emergency!!! other than that i am around 4 months behind on my work for the business so i have plenty to do!!!!

[Pricelessheart]

4 months behind on work! Yikes!!

I have to be at work until 500pm tonight. Then 9 to 4 tomorrow - however I don't think that is going to happen. Who is going to go to their storage unit during a norester to get stuff out?????? *laughing*
At least I will have my kids with me *laughing* they can help shovel things on the property!!


Okay - trying to find "snow friendly" "season greetings" "white christmas" type sweeps... will post here.. would be great to find locals - but uhhhhh don't think so can't find a thing so far.

Welp!

*giggles*
let it snow!!!

[HASAMA]

yes it is the end of the year so i need to deplete inventory, i have 75,000 items left to get up and running and out of here in 3 weeks i know i will not get everything done however, the more i can do the better as it makes the accounting aspect a lot easier with me not being well, my time has been cut down greatly so while i used to be able to work for a long stint at once now i work a few hours take a break work some more and so on. the only saving grace is i have a gentleman that helps me out 2 hours a day 5 days a week, he helps with the packaging and the postal runs. :sleep:

[mamomom]

Hey you guys I'm from Harriman too...let me know if your up to anything :smile9:

[mamomom]

Hey CJ I have 4 kids too Monroe -Woodbury schools...those that are still in school 22,20,24,5 I work on 208 in Monroe..we've probably seen each other around...it would be nice if maybe we could all get together I noticed harriman, monroe, pine island ,florida, middletown, ft montgomery, sloatsburgh---what do yo think?

[Pricelessheart]

Hiya! Sorry was buried under with so much snow didn't get around here yesterday or last night! Ugh!! Honey Bunny has been out since 530am yesterday got home around 9pm last night and back out at 430 this morning and still not home... :( my poor guy!

Anyways, Yes we've got a bunch of kids in Monroe -Woodbury - ummm Pine Tree 5th grade, 2 in the Middle School (6th & 8th) and 1 in 10th at the high school - one that graduate last year and is in RCC... the dogs of course are homeschooled! *laughing*

This week I am going to see what I can find in the area for our own local sweeps - and maybe something with a Christmas Winter theme for us all.

Will also try to put a list together of our first names... sometimes the nicks get my all befuddeled!! :)

Okay - midstaters - what is the greatest thing you've ever won from our beloved sweeping hobby!!! Tell us all!!

Sweeping hugs -------

Hi glad to see you made it through the snow, they dug me out last night, i have a wonderful guy that does it and is very cheap. i have a rather long driveway which he does, he hand digs by my garage door so i can get my car out, and i have 3 front porches on my house which he also does and charges just 40.00 for everything.

[Ziggywag]

UGH we got about 18 inches of the white stuff!!!! I know about driveways too. I live in a corner house and my driveway goes in on one street around the back of the house and out the other street plus there is the part that leads to the garage and that is 2 cars wide by at least 3 cars deep and I don't have a snowplow guy LOL. DH said he shoveled some out but you had to see the maneuvering I had to do to get out last winter, talk about your own personnal obstacle course :D Lets hope he learned to shovel straight paths this year. So much for getting the Christmas lights up this weekend too. I have got to learn to do like the locals do and get them up around Halloween.

Well, my kids are both in SS Seward. One in the middle school and one in the HS. SS Seward goes from 6th through 12th grade. Hey this is Florida after all :D we don't have enough kids for separate schools.

I like the idea of a get-together too mamomom and we probably have all crossed paths at the Galleria, Woodbury Commons, Walmart or someplace at some time and didn't even know it. Hey I went to the Florida get-together - the warm Florida that is, Orlando - so I'm up for anything...any suggestions anyone?

if you ever saw me aaround some one you would know it i have very distinct license plates. since i am alone i have to rely on some one to do the shoveling for me, unless i throw dog biscuits and let the "kids" dig for them

I am in Saugerties NY. I go to the Albany meetings and Westchester meetings
Been sweeping for 14 years.

and we are right in between the two !!!!

[Pricelessheart]

hmmmm let's watch the weather pattern - and say meet at the Monroe or Goshen diner maybe sorta .. huh? *smiles*

My brain is fried! Kids sick, hubby sick but feeling better - he works for the town and worked all weekend.... and my head feels like a legion of drums have gone off inside and every muscle and bone in my body hurts! :(

Winter is here - Ugh! But of course, after one huge storm I finally get a pair of boots - maybe the fact I couldn't feel my feet and still can't got the hubby's attention!! *giggles*
good excuse to be at the computer and sweeping my brains out tomorrow am!! Coffee in hand, slippers and comfy sweats (pretty picture I know) but hopefully all kids at school.... hubby at work - house w/ dogs to myself whoooooohooooooo *smiles*

Let's talk pick a place - give a few different times... and let's see what we can put together! Should be great!!!!!!

[HASAMA]

personally i would prefer goshenif some one would tell mewhere it is :-)

[Ziggywag]

Goshen is right off 17 - from Middletown take 17 east to Goshen/Florida exit. Its about 5 miles. It's before Chester. The Goshen Diner is right off the highway about 1 block north of 17. They have the best Bolognese sauce LOL

thanks have only been here a little over 2 years, evey now and then i get out on good beahavior :-) have discoverred a lot of places not never that one

[Ziggywag]

I'm only up here a little over 3 years, from Long Island before this. The Goshen diner was the first place I ever ate up here, it was a week before we moved and we came up to get a final look at the house before closing and we came across the diner on the way back to LI and decided to eat before making the 2 1/2 hour drive home. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't know where it is either LOL :)

[HASAMA]

ah, when i bought this house i was alone, when i moved in i was alone, and i am still alone so if i am out, and something looks interesting then i stop there, unfortunately with my hours that i work, i am lucky to get out and around 10 hours a week :-) one of the disadvantages of working from home. i have gone to some great places, and i think i know where you are talking about as when i head to the vet in monroe i believe it is on the right hand side ???? i have just always had the "kids" with me so never stopped, with them i jsut do drive throughs

[magel86]

I hope you all have a good time at your meet-up. MAybe I can make one at a later date. My sister-in-law woorks at the Goshen Diner. (Rita) And the rest of my family is in the area too. I usually visit every other month. My next trip is for New Years. Have fun
:gvibes: :gvibes: :gvibes:

[Pricelessheart]

Hi Y'all

Maybe we could meet up after the holidays - any diner - any place in the mid area would be good for me. Lunch or breakfast - or on a Sunday?????

I know things get nuts with the kids on holiday break from the 22nd - through the 1st of the year.

Now, snow is washing away, along with the roads in the area; more water than I've seen in a long time - trying to salvage things out of the basement before it fills up with too much more water! That's what we get for living along a creek bed! *laughing*

I saw in Sundays paper - Adams Farms grocery (?) check your times herald record - drawings and giveaways at their floral department.

I'll try and find the Sunday paper and pull it out again!

Time for me to get some tea - have lost my voice - after the weekend and freezing wet feet for 3 days .... got myself a doosy of a cold +!

[Ziggywag]

Oh feel better pricelessheart. I can't believe the snow disappeared in one day. I never even checked my basement, its probably all down there LOL Thats just what I need after having a power outage wednesday night for 4 hours. It was only my street as far as I can tell, the rest of Florida was all lit up. Well, I am game for whatever you all decide on, I'm easy but yeah the next week will be busy and then the kids are out of school. I am probably going to be at the Galleria a lot the next week so if anyone is heading over there, maybe we could do lunch in between shopping. :) I am never going to get my shopping done anyway, I haven't even started yet. :laugh:

[sonogirl]

Hi Everyone
I am in Ulster County. I live in Saugerties, New York on the weekends for the past 16 years. I have been on this site for about 1 year and I actually won a blender. Don't really have any friends in Saugerties because I am only there on the weekends with my husband. Anyone out there from my area.

[tkh823]

I'd like to meet everyone at the Goshen diner if possible. I haven't been sweeping long at all but hope to really get into it once the holidays are over.

Karen in Sloatsburg, NY

[HASAMA]

hi karen when ever you guys are ready so anm i i think the concensus of a sunday is best all around barring any more storms around here :-)

[mamomom]

Goshen diner works for me and so does Sunday as I work full time even Sunday but I can swap for a Sat. Happy Holidays to you all

[HASAMA]

well as i was heading on down to tuxedo this morning i passed where you told me the goshen diner was, and now there is just an empty diner there???? either i am totally confuzzled as usual or it went bye bye :smile9:

[terry catone]

hi my name is terry catone from ballston spa ny. i would like to contact local sweeper :) :supstar:

[Pricelessheart]

Well hello one and all!! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!

To those who have just introduced themselves... Hi - I'm Christine - Harriman, NY and glad to meet ya!

Please accept my apologies for not having been online. I've been sick and on Christmas Eve we found out why.... so... for those of you who say a prayer every now and again or more often than that... I could certainly use them! Please!
The road is gonna get bumpy over the next couple of days/weeks/months... Hmmm they are telling me I may have breast cancer - everything is on fast forward a ton of doctors, surgeons and appointments all at break neck speed. Thankful for the holidays, made everything slow down - which is a good thing and a bad thing in many ways.

So, if you don't seem me on a daily basis - I'm thinking of ya all. Looking on Ebay for a laptop - nothing fancy but something that will will be more condusive to bed rest and recoop time plus something that can travel with me. *laughing* I went to the doctors thinking one thing and ended up with a whole different thing! Ugh!


Also, I hope you all signed up for the Money Tree - I am so thankful for Brent and all the Master Sweepers here - I've not found a friendly place on the net for this hobby we love so much....
That's why we are the .... what was the nickname we came up with!?! *laughing* something useing the OLS along with NY ... *giggles* brain on overload lately I can't finish a sentence! *giggles*

Anyways, gonna try to be here as often as I can - been encouraged to keep up with my hobby's the things that bring me a greater sense of peace and relaxation - that would definitely be sweeping.. so easy to get lost in it.
May have to do more mail in - then online - we'll see. But know I'm watching... and still would love to meet up with everyone!!!

In the meantime, I'l continue to scour the papers and the mags and local areas for our local sweeps... If you all are comfortable and don't mind emailing me directly that would be great... *smiles* and an encouragement!

Okay - someone tell me some good news! Whose won here lately? What have you won? What is your fantasy(but always hopeful) win for 2004? What do you want or need the most?
Only win was a wallet - goldfish - for my son! Finally!! *laughing*
Haven't rec'd the DVD or the Poster from Hulk yet...
Did receive several comic books - HUH? can't find record of what or where....

That way we all can keep our eyes and ears open for those types of sweeps especially if they are locals!! *smiles*

Write on - *smiles* Seeing more posts I think maybe something in Sullivan or one county up might be the "middle" point for all of us midstate - upstate NY'ers to meet.
Throw out some ideas and let's see what we can do for the Spring... fair enough?

(((((((((((((((((((sweeping hugs))))))))))))))))))))))0 *smiles*


Christine

[Pricelessheart]

Well it would seem for the immediate close folks - Goshen Diner is the Place - and Sunday the time - hmmmm let's get kids back to school and see what we can do from there.

I think in all fairness for those not immediately close - further up would be good.

Also, thinking - has anyone been to Alexandria Bay? (I love that place - wouldn't that be amazing for a day or two - get together - more of the upstaters could make it too!!!) Just a thought.

Of course, I am thinking in the positive as to my own personal schedule can't commit to anything at the moment.... But it is a thought!! *smiles*

[13621362]

priceless i will pray for you and i would love to be part of the meet at the goshen diner, please let me know as far in advance as possible as i work most sundays and must request the time off in advance

[Pricelessheart]

Will do.....

We'll see what everyone's schedules are like... and I have to get through this next week to have a better idea of what will be for me.


Thanks for the prayers can use all I can get. *smiles*

I'm from Carmel (Putnam County) New York and I grew up in Rockland County (Nanuet). I didn't realize there were so many people so close to me. :wavy:

[Pricelessheart]

Hi!

Yup - there be a bunch of us around these parts! *smiles* I didn't realize that either until I started this thread... it's nice to know! Wonderful wonderful people can be found here and even better we all share the same enthusiasm for our beloved sweeps hobby!! Whooohooooo added bonus!

Hope that this finds you well...

I have only lived here for three years after spending the last 22 in AZ and the 10 before that outside Chicago.

Hey Clay! Camillus reporing here. Any news on the babies? Congratuations!

[Pricelessheart]

Well......

I see that many have popped their head in to say hello this past month! Glad to see each and every one of ya! *smiles*

Well what a nice group we've got going on here. It would seem we have one small group from "uperstate" of NY. and a small group mid-lower state NY. So I think there are 2 lunches or something to be planned and had. Waddya think?

How is everyone's 2004 going? Great I hope. Everyone healthy, happy and sweeping I do hope! :gift:

Let's see we have the Goshen Diner for the lower-middie NY'ers..... Who is further further upstate that can take the bull by the horns and pick a place for that particular group to meet for lunch? Each group can take some pictures and we can share them - a virtual midstate to upstate OLS group!?! Do ya think? *smiles*

Okay - y'all sound in - let me know - and let's see what ball we can get rolling.
In the meantime sound off on your 2004 wins - and what you hope to win.

As for NY sweeps - NEXTEL/NY Rangers win for hubby... got the call on Friday - although we are now waiting to find out if it's 1st or 2nd place win. Ugh! But WHOOOOHOOOOO!!!! :cheer7:
Boys got a surprise win from October WBKids11 - 1st prize -a game boy advance game
And all of that arrived and happened last week. Hmmmmm could be a wonderful start to the New Year! Have to admit being way behind on my online sweeps - only have had time for snailmail - easy to do when in and out of the docs. ya know!

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) to all

Sound In!!!! :toot:
