I've have less opportunities to connect with like-minded people since moving to Pauding County than anywhere I've lived before. Spring is coming which is traditionally a start of new growth so I have decided to explore ways to find others out there who share the same interests. I did find this website that looks interesting: http://likeminded.org/ If anyone thinks any of this sounds like something you might like please post in this thread or send me a pm. TIA!

It sounds like your parents had a lot of fun. Was that in Georgia?

I've been checking www.meetup.com for local meetups, but for the most part they seem to be held in areas 25-30 miles away. Why is that? http://www.meetup.com/cities/us/ga/hiram/?radius=5&radiusSet=true&show=results&sort=default&keywords=&mcName=Hiram%2C+Georgia%2C+USA&op=search&sort=default&resetgeo=true&events=&show=results

Clark Howard mentions a risk of an increase in insurance premiums: Posted: 12:00 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 31, 2010 Damaged windshield ploy is fastest growing insurance scam The Sun Sentinel reports the fastest growing insurance scam involves con artists approaching motorists in parking lots and offering to fix a supposedly damaged windshield -- without involving insurance or requiring you to pay a deductible. The scamsters will tell you about a barely visible crack in your windshield that threatens to burst wide open. The National Insurance Crime Bureau reports this scam is up more

I've noticed a lot of different brands and flavors of Hummus showing up in stores lately. Do any of you make it at home? I looked a little online, and I noticed one person recommends dried chickpeas vs. canned. Does anyone know where to buy the dried ones? Do you have a recipe you like?

This is from the Chipio website.

The one that talked to me at Kroger was dressed neatly and had a shirt on that said D.A.R.E., but I hadn't heard of the program before. He pointed out a couple of really tiny nicks. I did wonder how much my insurance would be billed, etc.

I would like to see all stores have the scanners where a customer can easily check the price of an item.

Thanks. I hadn't noticed anything before. I wonder how many people they told their windshield didn't need repaired though.

I was surprised when I saw it mentioned on another website right after reading this thread. It was on the blog of the creator of the comic strip that LPPT posted. I don't like his work, but some do: Saturday, April 16, 2011 Thoughts on a Recent Visit to Northern Virginia Excerpted from a manuscript that needs a lot of work. I had a job in journalism in the DC area when I was a kid. I delivered The Washington Post in my neighborhood in Arlington. We lived in a decent part, nothing fancy. The longest-held POW in Vietnam owned one of the homes on my route. There were other military

They were at the Kroger gas pumps on Ridge Road yesterday (a Dougasville address). I wonder who approved them to be there?

There is also a sequel. This is from the PBS website: Af-flu-en-za n. 1. The bloated, sluggish and unfulfilled feeling that results from efforts to keep up with the Joneses. 2. An epidemic of stress, overwork, waste and indebtedness caused by dogged pursuit of the American Dream. 3. An unsustainable addiction to economic growth. 4. A television program that could change your life. Affluenza is a one-hour television special that explores the high social and environmental costs of materialism and overconsumption.

The studies Maid in America referenced were in regard to type 2 diabetes.

I've thought about getting a Kindle but plan on waiting a while. Does anyone use the free Kindle for PC App? How do you like it? How does it compare to using a Kindle? http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html?ie=UTF8&docId=1000426311&tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=7442400567&ref=pd_sl_6g97entshf_b

Yesterday the 4 listed at Southern Savers were free for everyone. Now it appears that they've restricted it to Prime members.

Has anyone heard anything more about this church?

An article online stated that at a store in South Carolina had signs posted saying that they would be open until February 15.

When I was at Kroger today getting gas a D.A.R.E. representative told me they were doing windshield repairs. I had never heard of them doing that, but I found this online: http://www.dare.com/chip_program.asp He showed me a couple of tiny places on the passenger's side. I told him I wanted to think about it. Is it good to have really tiny specks repaired?

Does anyone know if they increased the amount off today?

Thanks.
