Kohl's is closing stores as the department store industry collapses
mom2yana replied to lowrider's topic in RECENT TOPICS
The one in Hiram doesn't seem to have the sales like some of the other stores do. My family shops all the time at the one by them. I haven't been into the one in Hiram in years. They don't carry anything that I or my daughter like. -
I would love to see Sweet Tomatoes go into that spot. Or a good burger joint. Or a good Italian place. And no, The Olive Tree does not qualify as a good Italian place and Cheeseburger Bobbies is as nasty as the Ryan's was. As for Denny's, we ate at the one in Smyrna 20 years ago. Never went back. No, just no. We need a 5 Guys, Sweet Tomatoes and a good Italian place.

There is a consignment shop in the Publix shopping center on East Paulding Drive that has some great prices. To borrow a dress for free, the suggestion for Angels Among Us is a great one. The sign was still there when we went by on Saturday. It is a very small yellow sign that just says "Angels Among Us" It is very easy to miss. The sign is near the ground, by the mailbox. It is just south of one of the bridges on Dallas-Acworth Highway. It is on the West side of the road.

The mobile home was on the road that is between the cemetery and the Dominoes. It was not in the trailer park that is also on the same road. It was on a lot by itself. The trailer was across from the storage units. There is not much left of the trailer. I am sorry to hear that one of my neighbors died in the fire. I live further down the road and was hoping that every one was OK.

Tax Free Weekend-Sales Tax Holiday Aug 1 & 2, 2014
mom2yana replied to Mrs G's topic in RECENT TOPICS
Don't forget that the stuff is not just for grade school age students. This is also for people in college... Bathing suits, caps and cover-ups, I would think that swim team members need something to practice in and most schools specify the type of suit etc! For cooler weather I'd still rather have a cape, shawl or a wrap instead of a jacket or coat... Aprons... cooking classes, wood shop (stains and paints), auto shop (grease, oil), cosmotology (foundation, make-up, nail polish, etc), art classes (paint, clay, chalk)... lots of uses for aprons in schools at all levels. Drama, theatre an -

If you want real green tea, get a good quality tea and make it yourself. If you are drinking it for health or weight loss reasons, DO NOT USE artificial sweetener's and don't drink that diet cr@p. They negate the good of the tea. Check the ingredients, if it says "tea flavor" it's not real tea and won't be of any use to you. "Tea flavor" means that it has a bunch of chemicals to make it taste like tea and that it doesn't contain any real tea. It should say something like "brewed green tea" or "green tea leave" for it to be real green tea. For cold tea, make it double strength and pour ove

We talk to each of their teachers at open house so we can get the list for that teacher. We only buy pencils, erasers etc before we talk to the teachers. We already have a supply of paper/folders/comp books/notebooks and pens/pencils so they can start without us having to actually go to a store. We can wait for the sales or for the tax free weekend to get the rest of the supplies. I'll stock up on filler paper/composition books and spiral notebooks when they go on sale in a couple of weeks. We use that stuff for things other than school, so I always keep them on hand... Something new this

Fleas: Is Anyone Else Seeing More This Year?
mom2yana replied to ButterflyLion's topic in RECENT TOPICS
My dad used sevin dust for years on our animals and property. Never had a problem with it. But my husband doesn't use it. The DE needs to be food grade, not the stuff you use in your swimming pool filter. That said, we have not been able to get the fleas under control. We wash the dog, we use flea spray, we've tried just about every thing we can thinks of, but as soon as he goes outside, he's an instant flea magnet! -
Well, if you want to go back to the voter requirements from 250 years ago, OK. You are right, you didn't have to have a state issued id, but you DID have to prove that you owned property. If you did not own land or a business or a home, you could not vote (neither could females or slaves/indendured servents). They only wanted people who had a real investment in the area to vote. So let's, by all means go back to that as an excuse. Voting laws have changed to make it easier for more people to vote. If you want to say that we shouldn't do something because we didn't do 250 years ago, then I say

Most scooters are not allowed on the interstates. They can't go fast enough. Not sure I'd want to use one for that long a commute either. I was thinking about getting one, but the commutes I am looking at are more like 5-6 miles in Paulding County.

Pil Sung Do with Master Key is great. They also have the ONLY after school martial arts program. They pick up at a few of the local elementary schools, so if you are interested, you would need to contact them to see if they pick up at your school.

Do you belong to a cult or cultish type group of people?

No, I'm not a democrate. I think for my self. -
Makes me glad we are still on a well. A very deep well. It is almost 200' deep.

Its only a problem when the "parents" are not being parents. If you know your child and keep an eye on them so you can catch any potential floaters, that's fine. Its the ones who don't pay any attention that are the problem. I know Sara Babb was closed several times a few years ago because of "parents" who couldn't be bothered to change their children's diaper when they should have. I don't know if that is still a problem at that pool or not, we haven't been to Sara Babb in a couple of years because of this problem and the problem with older children.

Considering cutting the cord and dropping cable
mom2yana replied to kcarlsonlpn's topic in RECENT TOPICS
We've been cable free for over 12 years. Don't regret it, won't go back! -
The county has summer day camps. I don't know what they have available. Paulding County Summer Day Camp If that link does not work, then go to: http://www.paulding.gov/ From there, under the "Departments" tab click on "Parks and Recreation", then click on "Programs and Acvities", then "Camps", then "Summer Day Camp" The Pil-sung-do martial arts center on Highway 120 has a summer camp this year. Their program is very good. Pil-sung-do

The Nelson, GA law was modeled on the 25 year old Kennesaw gun law. Kennesaw still has one of the lowest residential crime rates in America. Immediately after they passed the law, violent crimes in the residential areas dropped to almost 0, and has stayed at 1-2% or so since then. The law requires homeowners to have a gun and know how to use it. It also has numerous exceptions, including exceptions for those who object to having a gun in their home. If the Nelson, GA law is such a bad thing, why isn't the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence suing the city that has had the same law on the

well we started out with 4 chicks now got 3
mom2yana replied to beautymaker06's topic in RECENT TOPICS
I couldn't tell you how many chicks and full grown chickens we have lost to our dogs. And now the neighbor dog is finding the nests and eating the eggs, shell and all. Doesn't look like we will have many chicks hatching out this year. -
Depending on what you are looking for, Ingles has the best price on the large suet cakes. Wal-mart in Hiram has a good price on the "normal" size suet cakes. Tractor Supply often has sales and promotions. As one poster stated, if you can go on a weekday or later Sunday, do that. The place is a madhouse on most Saturdays!!

Wow, discount grocery store adds 10% to your purchase
mom2yana replied to MissSophie's topic in RECENT TOPICS
They do it for the same reason a price is $9.99 or $9.95, you think $9.00, not $10.00, so you spend more. It is deceptive. Just put the real price on the item and quit playing games. Most people will see the $3.54 a pound and not add the 10%, that is just human nature. When they get to the register and realize they forgot the 10%, most people will not put anything back. That's one way the store can and does get you to spend more. -
We get all our tires from Orr Tire Services, on Highway 92 in Acworth. My husband has been buying tires from them for over 20 years and she has never done us wrong. Always explains things, anwers all our questions about tires and we have gotten some great deals from them. No we are not employees, family etc. We are just customers who won't buy tires anyplace else. Orr Tire Services, Acworth, GA 30102

Some middle schools have specific times that the students are allowed to go to their lockers, usually before homeroom and after 2nd and 4th periods. At those schools he would not be allowed to go to his locker at any other time, unless it is an emergency, so that decision may already be made for him. As for bathroom breaks, look at his schedule and when they do locker breaks. He should have time to go to the bathroom when they change classes and it's not locker break time. He will need to understand that he will NOT have time to stand in the hall and talk to his friends if he goes to the bat

Our parish priest wears a rollex and has his own retirment fund. He came from a welloff family and he certainly will not be retiring to a life of poverty. He also did not take a vow of poverty. As surepip stated, only certain religous orders take vows of poverty, parish priests are not one of the orders that take vows of poverty. Cardinals generally do not come from any of the orders that take a vow of poverty. Since the Pope is elected from among the College of Cardinals it would be highly unlikely that the Pope would have ever taken a vow of poverty.

Me, I'm just the opposite, I might just go around the block part way just so I CAN use that left turn lane and block their way. Of course I am driving a big ol' suburban and most of those vehicles using that turn lane illegally would fit inside my vehicle!
