I do my part!! I stop in almost every afternoon for a little after dinner treat! The key lime pie is very refreshing in this hot weather!

Your home location will have a list of doctors that you can choose from. If that isn't convenient, you can pick from a list that is provided at any of your employer's locations. You must see one of them in order to begin a workers comp claim. If you think you're getting a run around, then is when you use personal doctors and attorneys.

Only given two choices: Big Business or Big Government
HiramInsAgency replied to EagleWings's topic in RECENT TOPICS
Big business over big government every time! (The OP didn't say that there wouldn't be the other one, just which would you prefer to be big! I have to presume that since there will never be one without the other.) Business is driven by profit, and thus will do it's best to be efficient at providing a product that is wanted by the consumer. There should be LIMITED government oversite to prevent the inevitable greed factor causing the attrocities mentioned. Big government has no need to worry about the "consumer" at all as we have seen in the last few months. It is motivated by power, -
Two PCSO cars with sirens going just went flying by heading south past Ridge Rd on hwy 92. Anything going on?

Paulding whenever possible. If I can't find it here, it's ordered online, or if all else fails, a trip is made to Arbor Place.

4-Day School Weeks Under Consideration In Georgia
HiramInsAgency replied to MillCreek's topic in RECENT TOPICS
I voted undecided. For the State and counties, the proposal is a great one. Saving on transportation and utilities would be an obvious benefit. I think middle and high school students would be ok with this, I'm not sure about elementary kids. Extending their day could be tough. Parents would obviously have issues with this due to daycare, again, primarily with the elementary schools. I think it would be a tossup for the teachers. Some will like the extra day off, others will hate the longer day. Specifics would determine my final vote, but since I don't have children -
Schools may be prohibited from getting early August start
HiramInsAgency replied to gpatt0n's topic in Paulding County NEWS
I'm for this legislation. The local school boards obviously don't listen to the teachers or parents. -
This Really "GRIPES my As$" What's NEXT?
HiramInsAgency replied to Caped Crusader's topic in RECENT TOPICS
It's a serial number, no more no less, unless you want to make it into something. Just like the VIN for your car, it's just a 17 character number that uniquely identifies your vehicle. Unless you need to know more information, then you can determine year, make, model, engine size, number of doors, etc. How can it be proselytizing if the code requires something else to interpret it? If you don't have a Bible, it's just letters and numbers. If you have a Bible, then you probably welcome the message. -
Army charges single mom who refused deployment
HiramInsAgency replied to NewsJunky's topic in RECENT TOPICS
It sounds to me like there is more to it than she just couldn't find someone to keep a child. This happens all the time and no criminal charges are brought. Unless there is really something else going on, a discharge would be the most I would think appropriate. With any other job, if you can't adhere to policies and regulations, you get fired, not arrested or sent to jail. -
Delta... can't get enough passenger money
HiramInsAgency replied to OldGoat99's topic in RECENT TOPICS
That's crazy... It takes forever now to get on and off the plane. Idiots bringing oversized bags, and more than they should get by with. You can't find room to put the one legal carry on that you have. But, they'll close the door to the plane and be "on time" while you actually sit at the gate for another 15-20 minutes for the attendants to move crap around and find space for all the carry ons. It's nuts! I really wish Southwest would come to Atlanta! -
That is probably the funniest thing I've seen in a while!

Smoking can void your computer warranty?
HiramInsAgency replied to UnionMom's topic in RECENT TOPICS
While I find the claim that it is hazardous to their employees to be a bit far fetched, I don't disagree with the reasoning. To go to the extreme, if I put radioactive waste in it, would you expect the manufacturer to deal with the radiation, fix only the part that was defective, and return it to me still radioactive? Not only are they putting their employees at risk to fix it, they would be putting a known health risk back into the market by returning it to you. Again, I agree with the reasoning, just not the facts of not being able to safely work on them. I have worked on computers an -
"I want a hippopotamous for Christmas" and "I Ain't been nothing but bad" have been my favorites for many years. On the serious side, I think "Silent Night", and all of the Oscar Peterson piano versions.

The cupcake of the month has been named!

I picked up one of the red velvet cupcakes for my wife and a pumpkin pie tart for me last night. Both were amazingly good! Keep up the good work, and as Arnold says... "I'll be back!" -
FLOOD INSURANCE - Good rainy day topic
HiramInsAgency replied to HiramInsAgency's topic in Business NEWS
I'll see what I can do. The actual coverage and exclusions will vary from policy to policy, but there are some good generalities. -
Watching the rain fall, and hearing of some minor flooding in the area brings up a few questions on flood insurance. One big misnomer is that you can only buy it if you are in a flood plain. That is no longer true. ANY home in a participating community may purchase flood coverage. Paulding, Cobb, and Douglas counties are all participating communities. The second question is "what can be covered?" The coverage is much more restrictive than your homeowner policy. You can cover the structure up to a maximum of $250,000 replacement cost, and contents only up to $100,000 actual cash val

My wife had it done at the Emory Orthopaedic and Spine Center in June. She had great results. I'm with Barbed Wire though, you have to have physical therapy or the recovery will be long and hard. I would really have a long discussion with your Dr. about that! Lisa had 6 wks of in-home PT three times a week, and I think that made a world of difference in her recovery, and what we have heard from others. Good luck!

He couldn't take the thoughts of how the Tech game is going to turn out! While I am not a Georgia fan, I have always liked the UGA's. Sorry to see him go so soon, but as others have posted, VII hasn't been the most active from the beginning, probably an indication of the problem.

Nice shots! All great planes, but my favorite of all time is the SR-71 Blackbird. You're right that it looks different with the gloss black paint instead of the flat black reflective coating. I guess NASA isn't worried about getting theirs shot down?

Had my two! They were great. Thanks for including us Hiram folks.

I have to admit that I love this show. I'm not a big sitcom fan, but the other shows in lineup with this one are all great. I think I like "In the Middle" better, but it's close. Hank and Cougar Town are both pretty funny too.

Nothing screams middle manager like having....
HiramInsAgency replied to bvrat5199's topic in RECENT TOPICS
Early days of being IT oncall was a pager and a phone (sometimes two) on the belt, and a luggable (called it a laptop, but the dang things were bigger than most desktops now!) on your shoulder! LOL at the memories!
