  1. Oh she's got the smallest garden ever this year since I'm doing all the work for it so far. 5 mater plants, 4 cuke vines, and a few squarsh plants, enough for her and dad and for me to steal what I want. Just drives me crazy when I come by and see everything all droopy and she starts giving me the old person excuses routine.
  2. Thinking about plumbing my moms garden with a drip watering system this year. With her advancing RA she's finding it difficult to go outside to water her garden daily or every other day, holding the hose/sprayer is impossible for her now. We tried a sprinkler set to the garden area for her last year and along with fertilizers added to the garden her mater plants were shorter than the weeds that tried to take over. I spent one day every 2 weeks weeding the snot out of it and couldn't keep up. So.. the drip system is looking like it would make sense. It'd save on water by putting it di
  3. You can also use google maps to chart a driving route and/or several alternates, and then use street view to look at the intersections if you are not familiar with them as well. Looking at map, Windy Hill to I-75, get off W. Paces, turn left on Habersham past governers mansion. Stay on that, go past Roswell Rd. Make a right on Piedmont, and Lenox Rd. will be on your left. Alternate would be, get off on W. Paces, take a left on Northside, make a right on Blackland, oogle at all the mansions, and then Blackland becomes Piedmont Rd. (after crossing roswell rd.) and then Lenox Rd. will be
  4. The EW connector will be brutal approaching s. Cobb. Windy hill same way at 41. Once inside the perimeter it'll be stop n go. There really not a good way once u get there other than knowing where u r going and what lanes to be in. Just IMO macland be faster than the EW connector.
  5. Macland to windy hill. I75 n get off at w. Paces. From there er.. been awhile. Know where to turn but not road names.
  6. Baby Steps. Convince us it's for our own good and whatnot. Make it a crusade.. for the children. Won't someone PLEASE think of the children. And yup, I have to say, it's not a left/right, red or blue thing. It's a power thing. And those with the most power, get to (make the) rule(s).
  7. I used to read until I would just fall asleep mid-sentence. Then I started having a problem with waking up later with the Nook n embossed into my forehead.
  8. So who's up for the first annual P.com Hiram Wal-Mart Streak-a-Thon? We'll be giving out prizes for fastest streaker, person with the saggiest bits. Grand Prize will be a photo of you ... all over the internet.
  9. I still, to this day, cannot figure out the 3 seashells.
  10. I know the Judean was closed by '85 (probably closed long before) as by then the screen was in disrepair, the one over in Austell by the Richway was closed by '82..
  11. That reminds me of this one time I was in over in Bangkok, standing in a puddle of my own urine, hands bound above my head, and a 24-volt battery clamped to my nipples. Good times.
  12. So do you guys refer to it as "Pink Panty Remover" internally, or is that just street slang? BTW, I'm 3/4 the way through the Apothic White, and I have to say, it's only okay to my barbaric heathern palate. Problem is I started off with some White Muscadine wine tonight from N.Ga, and was chasing it with a beer. Funny how wine and beer can actually go together well... Then moved onto the Apothic, and.. well.. it's different, drier than most I've tried, but it's not really dry, but I'm having to follow it with a swaller of water. I can see how this is better than straight up white wine
  13. Haha! Does anyone remember the 90's internet when the whole world was going nuts over I-Crap? There was an actual project to make a "chat program" like ICQ back in the day that could control vibrating attachments. And yes, before you ask, it was being developed by the Japanese.
  14. PSHA! Who cares about facts when there's an end of the world conspiracy theory afoot.
  15. I just recently got done reading Adrift - 76 Days at Sea, it's a non-fiction book. The author states that with the rise of technology the need to have watchmen actually scan the sea all day long with their eyes has gone the way of the horse and buggy. They watch GPS, Radar, and all modern ships are required to have a radio transponder locator since small vessels won't even show up on radar. In the book he said something like over 12 ships passed him, a few within spitting distance, and they never even saw him or his emergency flares. He drifted from off the Coast of Africa, where his ship
  16. The most dangerous time to drive on a wet road is after a dry spell when the oils have accumulated from all the leaky cars on the road. The oils are actually pushed up and out of the asphalt from the water soaking in and will stay on the surface of the roads until it's worn off from driving. I know when we have a shower after not having one for awhile I can feel a slickness to the roads even tho they may not have standing water. Now maybe other drivers can feel this or they know this little driving fact and wish to be more cautious during this period. If it really upsets you that much tha
  17. Especially considering I kan't spell.
  18. And ask him if the placed closed down because of all the feral clown attacks?
  19. Aw dang, but.. at least I got another "DING"!
  20. I remember kids eating paste, peeing their pants, and eating boogers being about the worst you'd see when I was in K in the 70s. And the only tantrums were more of the ... I want my Mommy, Waaah, cry themselves to sleep type.
  21. I have nothing to add, but something to gain. Holy cow I didn't know I had hit 1k myself.
  22. Let's see, I've seen rain, sun, rain and sun together, more rain, more sun, more rain, more rain and sun, sun.. rain.. etc.. today. But finally raining here at the house 10 minutes after getting home.
  23. I'll just stick to strapping a piece of buttered toast to the back of a cat and dropping it from a height and watch as it slows down and spins repeatedly never touching the floor. Beyond that it's all quantum physics to me.
