md: Craig's List... Who Knew? - 04/27/11 01:45 PM
My friend recently had a year-round rental available for rent in Ocean City, MD. Before she advertised it for rent in one of our 2 local papers that are published every Friday, she decided to try it on Craig's List,a free internet site! She had a tremendous response and had it rented within the week! Since my tenant of 4 years decided to move, I too decided to advertise on Craig's List for a yearly tenant. I had a very large response and quickly signed a lease with a very nice gentleman. Then I had a call from a friend asking

I've had a fiasco of a week trying to order a new printer! I ordered, it didn't come, I re-ordered, the 1st one came, it was the wrong one (discovered this after getting someone to carry it up to my office and then back to my car!), I cancelled second order, it's coming ANYWAY, I'm driving from Ocean City, Md to Dover, Delaware tomorrow to return first printer and BUY one while I'm standing in the store!!!!... at a DIFFERENT STORE!!! Can anyone recommend a workhorse of an all-in-one PRINTER for under $250?

md: First the Snow and Now the Rain! What's Happening in OCEAN CITY,MD? - 03/12/10 03:42 PM
First the Snow and Now the Rain! What's Happening? This is Ocean City, Maryland, known for it's WARM, SUNNY weather, beautiful beaches and fun activities! Of late, you'd think we had moved the town about 200 miles to the north! We've had tons of snow, which has finally melted , but, apparently, we're now in the monsoon season! It's pouring and foggy! I'm still hoping that we awaken to bright, sunny skys tomorrow ,so we can all enjoy the St. Patrick's Day Parade and all the fun at 45th Street! However, if Mother Nature doesn't cooperate, we can still all have

md: At Last! We're Snowless! - 03/05/10 10:22 AM
What a winter we've had here at the beach! Snow, snow and more snow! When asked about our NORMAL winter weather, I usually reply that we might have an inch of slush here and there. Not this year! We've had enough snow for 10 years! (Actually, I've been in Ocean City, MD since 1992 and only remember 1 snow storm of any substance!) It is now forecasted to be a wonderful, sunny weekend here at the beach! Hang up your snow shovels, grab your windbreaker and head to Ocean City! Don't forget to visit our 3 mile Boardwalk!

md: I Felt Like I was in Grade School Today! - 02/20/10 01:52 PM
I Felt Like I was in Grade School Today! While sitting here in Ocean City, MD, reading Activerain blogs (and gathering great new information... thank you, The Lovely Wife!) the fire alarm went off! Since I haven't heard an alarm since I was little (oops! not true!!!! I taught school for 17 years and had regular practice drills!), I'm walked to the hall and asked " Are we doing a practice drill.... in this freezing weather?". Apparently not! We all grabbed our coats, purses and CELL PHONES and headed down the back stairwell ,which just happens to be by my

md: Book It, Dano!... Or, Use your FREE TIME to Activate your MIND! - 01/27/09 04:52 PM
Having just finished Gary Keller's wonderful book "Shift" this morning, I was debating whether to get in the car and head for Barnes & Noble, which is about a 45 minute drive. Now, normally, there would be no debate. I wouldn't be writing this blog; I'd be on my way to my second home, B&N! But, OCEAN CITY,MARYLAND got weathered on today---- we got snow! Now it fell in little tiny flakes, covered the cars, grass and even the roads.... for about 10 minutes! Then it turned to slush/mush! Still not an issue. (I'm from Pittsburgh where snow is just accepted,
