  1. I really hate that. I actually need milk and I hate buying it when there's winter weather in the forecast. I'm really not one of them,darn it. I actually am out of milk.
  2. The whole ELC is nothing more than discussing what has always been referred to in the past as a living will. That's all it is. Setting up your plans, with full explanation of options, with regards to what you personally want done to try to save/extend your life in the event that you are unable to make those decisions at the time. It's like DNRs and things like that. It is not special diets or anything like that. (I don't think I used the word like enough in that last post. like like like like like like like like like like Ok, that's better.)
  3. It was a little scary at the other location. It's better now.
  4. bottled water ... cell phones ... CDs ... DVDs ... remote controls ... microwaves ...
  5. I'm sorry that it sounds like your family has had a bad run of luck when it comes to their care providers. It has been my experience in similar situations that family and friends have been given an abundance of information and resources and support.
  6. yep ... in Paulding Plaza.
  7. Totally against it. If there is enough reason to believe there is information of importance on the phone, get a warrant. I get how they came to the decision but I still don't like it.
  8. When did they go out of business? I thought they just moved. What's the salvage place over by the endless yardsale? Isn't that Brookes?
  9. It might be a stretch but the cake decorating place in the Attic Self Storage complex in Hiram might be able to help you track one down. Another odd idea ... have you tried Petsmart?
  10. I don't want the government involved in my health care. Period.
  11. I will gladly get you anything that you want/need for that purpose. And if you ever find yourself with any boxtops or cambells labels or tysons a+ or any other similar program items, I will gladly swing by and pick them up so that our schools can get that money. A.) Never going to happen for a long list of reasons. B.) That's what I meant ... they couldn't make it here so they closed up shop here.
  12. There's absolutely no question that the fundraisers that our schools do now don't do nearly enough for our schools based on the dollars spent buy the families supporting them. Before I go any further on that though I want to say ... do not take the prizes away from the top sellers. I hate to sound cold but who cares if the kids that don't sell a lot feel bad. Sometimes in life people do better than you. Learn early to deal with it. Why should the kids that do put in the effort not be rewarded? I would absolutely love to see enough parents get involved at the school level to make a be
  13. Good general concept but it wouldn't fly because of the legal side of it. Allowing people to buy shares of an item implies actual ownership. I really like that you're putting thought into an idea though and give you a HUGE round of applause for it. Way to go!! I wish more people would take the time and the energy to look for sollutions instead of wasting that effort on complaining.
  14. YES ... darn it. That's what I meant. If you are NOT adding carbs back in (slowly, and the right carbs) you are not doing it right
  15. While smart investing outside of the lottery annuity can absolutely end up making a lot more money I don't want to get away from one little detail ... Q. In the event that an annuity jackpot winner passes away before collecting an entire jackpot prize, what happens to the remaining prize money? A. Remaining payments would continue to be paid to the winner's estate in annual installments. (copy/pasted from the GA Lottery web page)
  16. They've "updated" that prediction. (I think there's a post or 20 about it around ehre somewhere.)
  17. Invest it yourself in a variety of annuities, etc. I certainly wouldn't suggest just taking the money and sticking it in a savings account somewhere. Good grief! No question, you'd want to have your full investment strategy worked out with professionals before you ever showed up for your check. That's what the smart folks do. The folks that take a couple weeks to turn up ... those are the people that are going to be ok. You know they took their time getting all of their ducks in a row. It's the Gomers that show up the next day and get their big check that are most likely to end up in tr
  18. Will they close schools on Sunday??????
  19. Induction phase is just that ... induction. If you are adding carbs back in (slowly, and the right carbs) you are doing it wrong. Seriously people ... if you aren't going to do Atkins properly, do not do it.
  20. Because you can end up doing much better for yourself and your family with it than just leaving it sitting in a lottery annuity. You're not losing money by taking the cash option.
  21. The $330 (or whatever it is now) million is the "estimated annuitized value" ... that means it's total payout over the life of the annuity. The cash option is $224ish. Of that, you lose 25% to the fed and then 6% to the state. I'm ok with that.
  22. Well you go right ahead and write a check then. Nevermind the fun the kids have with it. Nevermind that it is free money for the schools that they wouldn't get otherwise. Nevermind that it has nothing to do with the other stuff that you lumped it in with. But whatever.
  23. So you'd be keeping a few lawyers in nice suits and new cars ... gotcha.
