Yep. just a nice steady rain, but the satellite just went out. Great. wonderful.

<------------- topic killer....but hey, I've accepted it

I did this once, didn't even put it in a bag, just scooped it up & carried it back to its rightful owners. Problem solved

If I am here, the AC is running It stays at 78, if I need it cooler the fans get turned on. But I have been gone for 3 weeks. Everything I could reach got unplugged, and I set the AC at 85. Strangely, though, I was also gone 3 weeks last month, and the bill was only $36. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I had an electric bill over $60...

Just got mine.... $43 ... thank goodness, I dont know what I would have done if I'd gotten one like some people on here!

dark and WINDY in Hiram...looks like I got the car unloaded just in time...

You are plenty close enough to walk to the Lady & Sons (and all of City Market). Just hang a left out of your hotel onto Bay Street, then hang a left on Drayton Street. L & S is a couple of blocks down on your right. Honestly, unless you are going somewhere like Tybee, just put on your comfy shoes & walk anywhere you want to go. Its so much easier than crawling in traffic & hunting for a parking space. I know Tubby's is in Thunderbolt, definitely too far to walk (and its basically the same menu as Spanky's on River Street.) Honestly, not too sure about the

It is close to downtown, but only by car. I just didn't want her to get her hopes up to see it on the tour. I'm pretty sure they lock the gates at sundown anyway...definitely a place to visit if one gets the chance. To the Savannah old-timers, being buried at Bonaventure means you have "made it". They say it is better to be dead at Bonaventure than alive anywhere else...

Mind if I ask where you are staying? If you are only one block up from River Street anywhere in the Historic District, you can easily walk to Lady & Sons on Congress Street...

Bonaventure isn't close enough to the historic district to be part of a carriage ride or even one of the trolley tours. And it isn't in the best of neighborhoods, either... However, you will undoubtedly see the Colonial Cemetery at the corner of Abercorn & Oglethorpe Streets. Button Gwinnett is buried there (1 of GA's signers of the Declaration of Independence), along with far too many victims of yellow fever epidemics in the early 1800s. There are lots of above-ground vaults there, we used to walk down there & sit on them while we ate lunch (my high school is on the next block, n

Yes...River Street. If you don't take a stroll down River Street, you have not visited Savannah. Just be sure to wear flat, comfortable shoes. You'll understand why when you get there. As far as good seafood...most people like to go to the Crab Shack on Tybee Island. It is probably the most laid back restaurant I have ever been to. Its on the right just after the Lazaretto Creek bridge as you get onto Tybee (there is a big sign, you can't miss it) Don't just stick with the packaged tour stuff..you miss out on all the little things that gives Savannah its "character". Take a walk thr

Okay, yes, I knew the pay wasn't going to make me a rich woman when I decided to be a teacher. Yes, I knew I would have to spend money out of my own pocket for the things I thought I would need in order to do my job the way I know it needs to be done. Yes, I even knew that I would be in one of the most unappreciated jobs on the planet. I can handle all that. Yes, I am grateful to have a job. That does not give someone the right to say "suck it up", "deal with it", etc. etc. I "suck it up" every day when I am blamed for things over which I have no control (i.e. he's been in jail for the past

Bad choice of words..."newcomers" would be the better term...since pretty much everyone there was a newcomer at some point in the not-too-distant-past....

Daufuskie isn't what I would call stuffy...more like the folks who live there like their island the way it is, and intend to keep it that way. Outsiders are welcome, as long as you accept Daufskie as it is & don't come in trying to "improve" it. And no bridge has been built (or will be anytime soon), boat is still the only way to get there...

yummmm...Sunrise Diner Did you get any pictures of the waterspout? Have never seen, or even heard of one, down there.... Tybee is definitely not PCB, and the locals like it that way. Good place to be when you want to move at your own pace, on your own time

Heck yeah!! almost as good as raw cookie dough ya'll are making me hungry!

in this economy, just having an interview is a good thing.... public transportation can be a pain sometimes, but you could also look at it as "downtime" on the way home, but you don't have to drive & deal with the traffic... my aunt worked for Kennestone for years, she liked it...she retired last year, but is now considering going back to work for them part-time

Cold pizza? no thanks... cold fried chicken?

Sounds like you would handle a disaster in which you lost everything better than most other people (and that's meant to be a compliment)

I have 2 Hummel figurines, one from my grandmother (The Bookworm) & one from her sister (don't know what it is called, it's a boy reading a German newspaper). My grandmother had a huge collection of Hummels, but I told her when I was little that the Bookworm girl was me, so she left specific instructions that it be given to me when she passed away. I also have a diamond ring that my grandmother had made for me that was to be given to me when I graduated from college. She died 8 months before I graduated, so mom had to be the one to give it to me. It looks like an engagement ring, but

I-16 from Macon to Savannah is WAY better than it used to be! Dublin & Metter have places to stop & eat, and there are plenty of gas stations along the way I remember when there wasn't even so much as a billboard between Dublin and Savannah

If you are coming from Paulding, 75 to 16 to 95 is a whole lot quicker...Maybe not as scenic as driving across South Georgia, but Interstate the whole way, so plenty of places to stop when the need arises...and no small town speed issues, if you know what I mean! just don't speed, especially through Treutlen County - trust me on this one... how long are you going to be on Tybee?

Purdy brushes rock. Wish I could afford them

HD has all their brushes labeled as GOOD, BETTER, or BEST. Just depends on how much you want to spend.
