    How will I find drug rehabs in Scarsdale, New York?
    Question:
    I don't know how to do this but I really need to do it for a friend of mine. I don't know what possessed her to just try drugs. Now she's addicted. She has already lost some of her friends, and yet she won't stop taking the drug. I guess it's because heroin's really addictive. I want to help her but the only way I could think of to help her is to find a drug rehab for her, and I don't even know how to do this. Any suggestions?

    Answer:
    I have included links below that may be able to help you with this. You can also ask your friend to go to the doctor or get recommendations from professionals such as healthcare providers or hospital staff. Calling a helpline such as 800-559-9503 may be able to help too. Just be there for your friend. Your love, understanding, and encouragement may be able to go a long way. It's a good thing that you're still there for her. She would need your friendship, it will help her get through this. Good luck! I'll pray for you both.

    nice areas of new york?
    Question:
    I am looking into moving to New York, my family includes a mother, daughter, and 2 sons. all under the age of 14. for the 4 of us we need a nice town to live in with great schools, daughter may be going to private school however, and maybe eventually the younger boys. Right now we have a great public school system, one of the top 100 high schools in the US. I wouldn't be too siked to move to the actual city. I am especially looking towards Westchester County. What are the best towns there. I hear Scarsdale and Pelham are nice. I am having trouble looking for houses for sale in those areas. New York, New York, where is that? would that be the city? I found a nice place there, over 100 acres of land. What about Hopewell Junction? I have seen a lot of nice houses there. Are the schools good? any other areas in ny you would recommend, feel free to say so. thanks!! Whoever answers the most of my questions will get best answer... try to answer all of them, thanks!! im not pretending to be a mom! i just said my family includes a mom daughter and two sons.... that doesnt mean im necessarily the mother. but anyways thanks for your answer and i havn't noticed that many teenaged girls wanting to move to ny. im looking into new york for my education. there is a private school there that I would do anything to get into. that is why i want to move to new york. no other reason. other wise i would look into somewhere else because i am miserable in my current town and school

    Answer:
    I don't believe it! Another post by a teenager pretending to be a mom with kids moving to NYC!!! Is there something in the water??? You are not a mom with three children moving to NYC. You are a teenaged girl (probably about 14), and I'll bet you have two younger brothers (hence the question mentions two boys and a girl, all "under 14".) Honey, finish school and go to college. You'll have time enough to grow up, and then you'll know where you want to move. If you want to fill in info for your fantasy, I AM a mom with two kids (not three) - my oldest is 12 and my youngest is 7. We live in Brooklyn, NY - that is part of New York City itself. New York City is made up of 5 boroughs: Brooklyn, Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens, and Staten Island. My kids both go to excellent public schools. My oldest is in an arts oriented middle school. Everyone in 6th grade must take Dance, Visual Art, Graphic Arts, and Instrumental Music. In 7th and 8th grade they must select a major from one of those 4 arts or Theater. Then they take classes in their major art subject 5 times a week. My daughter is in 6th grade now, but she'll take Visual Art as her major next year. My youngest is in one of the best elementary schools in the City. It's so popular, many parents try to fake their addresses to get in! It's a great school, but huge and a little overcrowded. We live near a huge park with many playgrounds, woods, tennis courts, a few different performance spaces, a zoo, lovely stone bridges and a large grassy area in the middle. Also right near our neighborhood is a major museum and a large botanic garden, both of which have classes for kids. The houses in our area are mostly stone row houses of about 3 or 4 floors each. Most people live in apartments, not houses. The houses here are expensive, all are over a million dollars, and many are 2 million dollars. Many people don't own cars here, but the streets are great for walking! There are lots of shops down the main avenues, and a few different subway lines stop at different parts of the neighborhood. Many people in this neighborhood work in Manhattan, some in jobs like wall street jobs, some lawyers and doctors, but we do still have a lot of professors, teachers and writers, many of which have lived in the area for a long time. I hope this fulfills your need to learn about what it's really like for a kid to move to NYC. But do know that it's easy to tell that you are a kid and not an adult from your question. So don't try to fool people and just be yourself. We'd be happy to answer questions for you just as you are. ADD: JT, EVERYONE is miserable where they are at 14! That's what 14 is like! Private school isn't what you think it is. My daughter's best friend goes to private school. It's just a school, except the other kids have more money than she does, so she always feels poor, even though she isn't. A good school is a good school. It doesn't have to be a "private school". I don't know what you've read to make you so yearn for private schooling, but here in NYC there are public high schools (Stuyvesant for example) that are so good, kids in private school study for a year to take the test so they can go to them! Yes, private school kids studying to get into a public high school - imagine that! Take a look at the website Insideschools.org It's all about public schools in NYC. You might get a very different idea of what is offered here! And don't be so down on where you are. Most kids feel that way. Eventually you go away to college and that's a cure for most people. So just hang in there!

    Scarsdale??
    Question:
    hey! Ill be living in Scarsdale for the summer (Im from Ireland) so could you help me figure out travel arrangements? (I dont have a car so bus/train) Ill be living in Quaker Ridge, what are the bus services like? I will want to go to Woodbury Commons, is that easy to get to from Scarsdale? Also is it easy to get to New York City Centre? any help is much appreciated, even links to handy websites! CHEERS X

    Answer:
    New York City is a half hour south of Scarsdale, it's not very far at all. You can take the train into the city in no time. The train station is right in the Village of Scarsdale and you can catch Metro North from there to go to Grand Central right into Manhatten and go back the same way, it's a half hour drive and I'm sure the train is not much more. As for Woodbury Commons, by car, it's over an hour north of Scarsdale, but being you're not driving, I'm not sure what the bus is like and how you would get there. What I can tell you is that Scarsdale is a beautiful town, lots of little shops and things to do. You will love it there, it's a pretty little town and the village is a pretty place. You will really like it there. I hope you enjoy your stay!

    How to know *IF* you're a New Yorker By Willy? -- A born & raised NYer!?
    Question:
    Willys cynical thought for the fucking day; I'm not a complete idiot, there're still some fucking parts missing! How to know *IF* you're a New Yorker By Willy -- A born & raised NYer! 1. New Yorkers ARE NOT FREAKING RUDE! AND ANYBODY WHO THINKS SO CAN SHOVE IT -- you know where! (I told you we ain't rude)! 2. Born and raised New Yorkers don't have accents; people from the south have a "lazy drawl," people in Cali talk "like Oh Wow that's awesome," Midwesterners talk "corn porn," Bahstuners are always driving a "cah to a bah." etc.. Of course New York's many immigrants all arrive talking "funny." But much of that language, in a few, becomes NY slang! See number 13. 3. Crosswalks WTF are those? You cross the street from wherever YOU are NOT the freaking lines on the road! 4. Depending on your age, and musical tastes, you've been to a "live" music concert at; Averery Fisher Hall, the Metropolitan Opera, Lincoln Center, Radio City Music Hall, the Filmore East, Roselands Ballroom, Madison Square Garden -- screw the Meadowlands it's in Jersey - The Bottom Line, CBGBs, or all the above! Live music is what separates the men from boys! 5. You know why, when outsiders write about it, Broadway is always in quotation marks! 6. Cars are cool, to the young, as you get older you rely more on Subways, buses, and trains -- no expensive gasoline or damn parking fees. Besides they take you within walking distance of, almost, any freaking where! 7. If you're male you were once in a gang, probably the __ St. gang, not the crips or bloods, if you're over 35 you've hit somebody or been hit by a baseball bat in anger. Or at least you've seen or heard of it being done! 8. If you're female you were, at one time, a "bad girl!" 9. When out with friends @#%! & *&%# are acceptable figures of speech! 10. When pissed off your language could make a Sailor or a 42nd St. hooker blush! 11. You hate the sound of car horns blaring. Your favorite method of communication is the middle finger. Even if you have to "crawl up the asz" of the car in front of you! 12. You sleep through police & fire department sirens, thunder storms, blackouts, even gun shots! But if the kid upstairs practices guitar too loudly... 13. You understand what, "Domino chocha," "kurveh," "Bootay," and "squaldrina" mean without taking language lessons! 14. WTF are dungarees? In New York we wear jeans, Levi's, Lee's, Wrangler's, mostly blue but not always. And yeah there are those that wear the "Hoi-Paloi designer jeans on sale only $99.95," mostly foreigners from outside of New York! 15. You can go out to a "real pizza place" and eat "real pizza." Turn around and get "Real Chinese food," then go get Jewish pastries at Zabar's. This is stuff made by the real ethnic people, NOT reheated crap put together from a cookbook like an erector set! 16. You love street fairs, garage sales, going out of business sales anywhere you can haggle over the price. You especially like to haggle with non NYers, who are "less skilled," and take them for whatever! 17. New Yorkers know that McDonold's was the death knell of capitalism! It led to all those "cookie cutter" chain stores; and the, smiling, sixteen year old counter clerks with their, phony "Can I help you?" In the days waitresses asked, "What cha want?" 18. You know where the Statue of Liberty, Empire State building, and South Street Seaport are but, except on school trips, you've never been there! 19. New York has four seasons, spring showers, too damn hot, fall rains, and Goddamn it's winter again. This has helped us to develop a tough exterior because the weather ALWAYS changes! 20. If you list your friends, or coworkers in one row, and their ethnic backgrounds across the paper you have a veritable United Nations! 21. "Reality TV" what the fuckk is that all about? It ain't nothing but Hollywood's idea of "relevance." To older NYers "reality TV" began with "Captain Kangaroo," continued with "The Groucho Marx Show," and ended with "I Love Lucy!" 22. In NY we don't follow authority. EVERYBODY is a boss from Donald Trump to the newest janitor who is the "floor boss!" 23. You keep a car jack handle, from an older car, within reach when driving just to be on the safe side. You've heard all the stories of car jacking, and besides you can use it as a drum stick! 24. You live in NYC or within an hour of midtown Manhattan. Or at least you grew up there! 25. New Yorkers don't give a rats asz if they offend people, they ain't changing to please anybody! 26. True NYers don't kiss anybody's asz. If you're with people with a puckered up anus point to the George Washington Bridge and say, "Go to Newark!" 27. NYers are sick of hearing the crime rate has dropped __% this year! We want to know when will it be zero? 28. Other people may, at times, have the "moxie" but died in the wool NYers didn't learned from a book, i.e., "Attitudes for Dummy's." No, we learned it in the streets, alleys, bars, and honky tonks of NYC! 29. Hillary Clinton ain't a New Yorker! Enough said? 30. New Yorkers understand voting is like flushing a toilet; the old turds get flushed to be replaced by freaking new turds! 31. You understand, at first reading, my words. And you get a kick out of sending this list to friends in "Butt-Lick, Kansas," "Lost Wages, Nevada," "Sunny Southern 'Californification'" and "Bahstun, Masivechews-shlt" to rub their faces in the fact that they ain't from New York! 32. Certain areas are technically in NY but the people from there NO WAY IN FREAING HELL. These areas include the upper east side of Manhattan, Scarsdale, much of the Hamptons, etc! Note to people living other places; that new next door neighbor just maybe a transplanted NYer so be careful he, hell she too, may smack you upside the head just for GP! I qualify, or I'm guilty of all the above. Now not everybody can be from NY, thank God, and I'm sure people from other places do some of these too. NY doesn't have a "monopoly" last I heard clear channel was still trying to buy it.... Being a "New Yorker" is an attitude more then anything else, and there are idiots living here too see number 29. The attitude of New Yawk carries to wherever they move, and many NYers did & do, so the guy, or girl, who cut you off wherever just maybe originally from the BIG Apple. There's an easy way to test this; open your window and yell at them. If you are rewarded with the NY Bird (Middle finger) that is proof positive (See #11)! Also if a NYer, especially from Brooklyn, moves elsewhere before they finish a sentence the 'locals' ask, "So you're not from around here huh?" Okay how to know if you're a New Yorker? If you do at least 10 of these things consistently, i.e., you don't do them one at a time over a period of a year. No, you do them all the time then you *MAYBE* a NYer! Or chicks ONLY send me a photo of your magnificent mounds and I'll tell you if you have "New York potential." The winner of the contest just may win a ticket to NY. Foreigners are eligible too! @2004 By Willy Senkiwsky http://www.total-knowledge.com/~willyblues/ From; http://www.total-knowledge.com/~willyblues/id47.htm LANGUAGE WARNING that site has the, unedited, version!

    may i ask you a question over an english?
    Question:
    However, the minute the crazy-in-love couple WAS SPOTTED TAKEN OUT a wedding license in Scarsdale Village, New York, the paparazzi were ringing the alarm. here above is my questions.you can find a big sentence of a variety of an above sentence.i would like to change this sentence like following words.can you tell me if i can change an above word to a below this sentence or not? "However, the minute the crazy-in-love couple WAS SPOTTED BY PEOPLES TAKEN OUT a wedding license in Scarsdale Village, New York, the paparazzi were ringing the alarm."

    Answer:
    Yes, "was spotted by people" is correct, but the "taken out" needs to be changed if you insert "by people." Try rearranging the words: However, the minute people spotted the crazy-in-love couple taking out a wedding license in Scarsdale Village, New York, the paparazzi were ringing the alarm.

    How come Canadians rarely post silly YA! questions like Americans?
    Question:
    If all the questions on YA! were questions posted only because the person REALLY did not know the answer to the question being asked after extensive research attempts, I imagine 99.5% of the question on the Canada Travel board would be eliminated. But there's fun in humour and silly exercises and seeing people's responses. But one thing I must say, Canadians tend to post more genuine questions. A Canadian would not likely post on a USA travel board the question "How does the USA trade with Canada?" or "Do I need a passport?" or "What countries does the USA travel to" because these are 'researchable questions'. Instead they ask "What engineering positions are vacant in San Diego" or "How are the schools in Scarsdale, New York." Thanks SaskArie :)! You know I like your country when I'm studying for an exam I have to sit for and listening to of all things ....."Canadian celtic folk music in the background". I have great stuff from Quebec and bluegrass from the prairies and old songs from Newfoundland. I put my ipod playlist on shuffle songs and let it play. I think the igloo response was very hilarious, Karen C! The second sentence where the hard work. I say Canadians "metaphorically" are always protecting the igloo, in figurative terms. I like the depiction of Prince Edward Island you get out of Anne of Green Gables. The neighboring people seemed uncreative compared to Anne's world, but they really weren't so dry and dull, just they didn't show how receptive they were at first.

    Feds to Issue IDs to Restrict Volunteeers at Disaster Sites!?
    Question:
    I'm having trouble making heads or tails of this... I'd appreciate everyones opinion on the matter... Thanks! NEW YORK — Retiree Gene O'Brien hurried to the World Trade Center site after Sept. 11, 2001, as a volunteer helping to shuttle supplies to police and fire workers. Some days, his only ID to get into the disaster site was a tattoo on his forearm. "A couple times I showed them my Marine tattoo, and they said go ahead," recalled O'Brien, adding that he and other volunteers also came up with their own makeshift identification cards. "We didn't forge anything, we just made them up with our own pictures and at one point we copied a UPC code off a Pepsi can and they were as good as gold," said the Scarsdale resident. It might not be so easy the next time disaster strikes. In an effort to provide better control and coordination, the federal government is launching an ambitious ID program for rescue workers to keep everyday people from swarming to a disaster scene. A prototype of the new first responder identification card is already being issued to fire and police personnel in the Washington, D.C., area. Proponents say the system will get professionals on scene quicker and keep untrained volunteers from making tough work more difficult. But they also know it is a touchy subject, particularly for those devoted to helping in moments of crisis. "Wow, how in the world do we say this without love and respect in our hearts?" said deputy assistant U.S. Fire Administrator Charlie Dickinson. "Everybody wants to come to the fight, so to speak, and no one wants to step back and say 'No, I can't do this.' The final coup de grace was the World Trade Center. Hundreds came that were never asked," Dickinson said. "Good intentions, good hearts, and it was extremely difficult for the fire department and the other departments to deal with them." The Federal Emergency Management Agency came up with the idea after the World Trade Center attack and Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when countless Americans rushed to help — unasked, undirected, and sometimes unwanted. Many of those volunteers angrily dispute the notion they were a burden. They insist that in many instances they were able to deliver respirators, hard hats, and protective boots to workers when no one else seemed able. Ground zero volunteer Rhonda Shearer and her daughter launched a fast-moving supply system that bypassed regular channels, often infuriating city officials. Even as she delivered box trucks packed with supplies over months of recovery work, she increasingly ended up in a cat-and-mouse game with New York City's police and emergency management agency. Shearer, 53, said the experience convinced her that agencies are ill-equipped to handle major disasters — but don't want outsiders pointing out their failings. Similar frustrations arose after Katrina, when people were shocked that the government struggled to take basic supplies such as water to the worst areas. "They're more worried about keeping volunteers out than doing an analysis of what really went wrong," Shearer said. "Independent citizens need to be involved, where we have no ax to grind or cross to bear. But we will tell the truth, and we will tell what we see and bear witness to the incompetence." Dickinson, the federal fire official, said the government is not trying to discourage volunteers, but he thinks there should come a time, within a few days of a disaster, when civilians step back and let the professionals take control. Supporters say the ID cards could be checked at a disaster area with a card-reader device and used to verify a person's unique skills. For example, if police officers have been trained to handle hazardous materials, officials at the scene could deploy them to an area where their skills would be best put to use. For reasons ranging from general safety to protection from lawsuits, construction and demolition companies want to see a disaster ID card program succeed. Mike Taylor, executive director of the National Demolition Association, said his industry is talking with aides to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger about putting it in place in his state. "If California goes ahead and does that, it will flow across the country. This is a really smart idea by someone in the Bush administration to be able to control access to the site and frankly, make sure there are no untrained people," Taylor said. "If somebody goes running down to the site, you have to stop and ask them, wait, are they certified to do this work?"

    Answer:
    Figures California would be the first to sign up for more regulatory activities. Communists love to tell people what they can or can't do. If a well-intentioned volunteer gets hurt because of his/her own stupidity that's just too bad. They shouldn't be allowed to sue anybody, and therefore there would be no liability and no need for such an id. We have become a nation of pussies. (see what I mean? Yahoo communists: little kittens is not a bad word!)

    Where should we move? (this is easy!!!)?
    Question:
    We want to stay in the US, but we are going to start a new life. My mom said we can move pretty much anywhere she can get a job. She so far can get one in Las Vegas, California, Florida, or New York. If you would like to recomend a different state, feel free. What city/town/area should we go to? We are used to living in a wealthy town. we will probably be hiring a live in nanny/ au pair because we have only one parent. If you know any, please tell me which are the wealthier areas of New york, Nevada (pref. near vegas), california, or florida, wealthy as in not ghetto, low crime rate, and stuff like that. a pleasant town. Such as the weston of massachusetts. or the scarsdale of ny (i know scarsdale is a nice area of ny but what other towns in ny are nice? is hopewell junction any good?) thanks, feel free to tell me any advice we should take when considering this big move. ps i love the fall season and winter and the hump of going from winter to spring. its one of my favorite things about a place.... id hate to give that up. id love a place with a similar climate (new england weather) i dont love the cold, i just love the spring, just to clarify!!

    Answer:
    I'd go ahead and say an area like Oak Park or River Forest, IL. It's right outside of Chicago, so she could probably find work in the city. The schools are very good, Oak Park River Forest is in the top 1000 high schools. Overall, it's a good area.And what you said about the weather, we have that here as well. NY is kinda dirty, but if you don't want to live anywhere else, I'd say NY just because you said you liked the springtime and the changes.
