  1. [quote name="cj0e" post="1134849" timestamp="1396831065"] What constitutes a "timely-manner" for your wife's on call status? 10 min? 15? 20? 30?[/quote] Well it's not set in stone, but anything longer than 30 mins we probably aren't going to consider. And her call would be evenings and Saturdays so it should be outside normal "crazy". But I do understand the south Nashville area traffic. She stayed for a month at an extended stay hotel off old hickory in Brentwood. That I-65 OH intersection is mind numbing at 5:30
  2. [quote name="QuietDan" post="1134739" timestamp="1396817923"]What are the cost factors if you ditch one of two cars, pay the ransom, and just live right up next to Vandy? The old definition of a "Town House." And then, perhaps enough left over for a little place waaaaaay out . . .[/quote] We have to have two cars as I drive with work and our hours don't even come close to aligning. Plus one place is sufficient, just gotta find the right one. We are planning to rent year 1 and then try to buy a place.
  3. [quote name="QuietDan" post="1134665" timestamp="1396802815"]We are extremely happy in Smyrna. Killer commute for Vandy though . . .[/quote] Yeah. That's the tough part. There are a lot of good communities around but the commute to Vandy puts it unreachable. Plus she will have to be "on-call" some so it's not just about daily commute but being able to reach the hospital in a timely manner when called
  4. [quote name="Dustbuster" post="1134538" timestamp="1396752750"]yes ljack, im in antioch myself was curious as to what part u were looking at.theres docile and wild areas.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk, Hell yeah it ate my spelling!!! again!![/quote] Most if the rentals we'd be interested in were in the west Antioch/Brentwood border. Lenox village, Nolansville pike south if old hickory.
  5. [quote name="Dustbuster" post="1134461" timestamp="1396741680"]What part of Antioch ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 of course it ate my spelling.[/quote] Is this directed at me?
  6. Yes it can be done. I wouldn't do that to a suppressor that costs $600-$1200. I'd just save $200 and send in the SBR paperwork
  7. [quote name="Daniel" post="1134382" timestamp="1396723331"]Sylvan Park maybe.[/quote] I'll be doing some contract work in the forestry industry so I'll be going all directions, but my wife is going to be in a residency program as a Dr at VUMC. We'll look. We are most likely going to use a realtor to help us find something. It's tough being in Knoxville and trying to find a place in Nashville.
  8. [quote name="semiautots" post="1134376" timestamp="1396722871"]Rent a condo by Vandy. Her schedule will suck and she'll thank you for it. West End is full of libtards, but the peace of not having to drive far for a few years will be best. Plus, you'll be driving against traffic.[/quote] If we can find something reasonably price (for the area that is) we'll consider it for sure. We do have two small dogs so a small yard is desirable, but we can manage without.
  9. [quote name="2.ooohhh" post="1134358" timestamp="1396720316"]I lived in Lenox Village for 5 years commuting to Vandy. My first three I was writing my own schedule and working odd hours due to my call schedule. The last two years I had a new boss and was forced to work 8-5 m-f and the commute was TERRIBLE. Also as a LV homeowner I quickly grew to hate the HOA who tried telling me I couldn't restore my vintage BMW in my own garage. :/ As for renting there it would likely be OK while you look for somewhere else but I would advise against purchase without extensive research first.[/quote] Thanks for that. Fortunately my wife is commuting and generally has to be at the hospital by 7:15, and leaf around 6. At least for the first couple years. But thanks for the heads up anyway, we'll explore some other options
  10. [quote name="TresOsos" post="1134342" timestamp="1396717408"]Might as well just get it over with and move to Memphis if your looking at Antioch. If you want more bang for your buck, look at the Hendersonville area, yeah the commutes a turd but a much better area.[/quote] Unfortunately we can't live that far away. Just didn't know the area was that rough, hence the question. No worries we won't me moving there.
  11. Wow, good to know. Thanks for the input fellers.
  12. Does this include the areas on nolansville pike, south of old hickory? Some of those addresses are Antioch, some are Nashville, some Brentwood, it's confusing
  13. What's the area like? We are looking at some rentals in the area. The commute to Vanderbilt is a concern as well, but the prices are much more "bang for your buck"
  14. As does mine. I was using Winchester White Box, which In my experience is pretty dirty, especially in .45.
  15. Man, love the fight in those Vols. Some mistakes but they never gave up.
  16. Oh and they are shooting the lights out from the 3
  17. Main problem is our matchup with Glen Robinson 3. We can't have Maymon and Stokes on the floor together cause Maymon can't guard him.
  18. [quote name="Oh Shoot" post="1131223" timestamp="1396036487"]Not that I care much, but TN playing Michigan tonight to get in Elite Eight. Rather surprised not one thread on that from some of you rabid fans? - OS[/quote] I try not to think about it too much or the anxiety gets the better of me. I want them to win soooo bad, especially after 35k "fans" signed a petition to fire the coach and bring back the coach that nearly sank our entire program. I have great respect for coach Martin. He is a true leader and molder of boys into men. Is he the best basketball coach...that's yet to be determined. But I think he is great man, and that's enough for me to back the program whole heartedly.
  19. Well luckily it seems the dog was wearing a standard collar. So even though the leash was being pulled it wasn't cutting off his airway completely. I'm sure it was uncomfortable and scary for the dog and owner, he seemed fine afterward. Seems the owners hand may have been injured worse. (Possibly dog bite) the video doesn't show.
  20. I think the point comes down to their scholarships they are "paid" do t have anything to do with academics and everything to do with performance on the field. Sure coaches and ADs say the canned things about molding men and all that but in the end if they fail to perform on the field the scholarship is gone. Plus we aren't even talking endorsements yet. Adidas pays UT millions to wear their brand and the players get two pairs of sweats and a pair of tennis shoes out of the deal. Sure they get game jerseys too but that's a wash really on who benefits from those more, player or university. I just don't like the argument that they get scholarships, mainly because like any college kids they all want some cash to do things. And the NCAA makes it extremely difficult for and athlete to get some spare cash without being in violation of their rules. I liked to go out to eat with my friends or go to the bar for a couple beers, but they don't take scholarship money their. They can't have legitimate jobs so unless mom or dad is paying they have to rely on "palm greasing" from booster which only happens to the higher tier players.
  21. [quote name="sigmtnman" post="1130326" timestamp="1395872097"]Sure you can. No one cares enough to though. Perhaps this well be the impetus.[/quote] I don think it's about "no one" caring, it's about the people in power are making too much money to care. Kind of like government.
  22. [quote name="sigmtnman" post="1130309" timestamp="1395869770"]You made my point. The colleges are supposed to be a breading ground for education not sports players. College sports should not be profit centers, but instead an outlet and a chance for the kids to have fun.[/quote] That ship has sailed long ago. Can't put pandora back in the box
  23.     Div III schools are barely making enough money off ticket sales to keep the lights on full time in the weight room.  I think its apples and oranges
  24. I say let em get paid, it will vet itself out in the end.  I mean what are we trying to preserve, the student athlete? That's been gone for decades now.  The schools and NCAA are making billions off the backs of kids risking their potential future on the field.  No reason that cant fight for a piece of the pie.  And no I don't believe they are owed anything per se but they have the right to try to get what they can.      I'm generally not a fan of unions, but here there seems to be a serious disparity between who's bringing in the money(players) and who's cashing the checks(NCAA and Univ).  I believe the players should get a scaled stipend according to minutes played or something like that.  Then put a cap on the amount any one athlete can get in a year.  Also restrict it to amount of revenue the players sport generates.  Its not that complicated.      All that said I believe we are a long way away from truly paying college athletes anything significant
  25. [quote name="Erik88" post="1130008" timestamp="1395801436"] The good news is that if you get another job you may not have to work outside right?[/quote] That would be one upside. Working outside is great about 4 months a year, spring and fall. Otherwise it's usually unpleasant somehow. I'd settle for a partial outdoor job where I could schedule around the bad stuff, but beggars and choosers and all that ;)
