  1. Perhaps the double voting represents one vote each for each spouse in a household. http://kicks1015.com/article.asp?id=730623&kw=rules ONLY ONE ENTRY PER PERSON AND ONLY ONE WINNER PER HOUSEHOLD. I could not find rules specific to this contest. If you do, please share the rules if they are different than above.
  2. I just voted twice using IE9. Voted the first time using regular window, then opened an "InPrivate Browsing" window and was able to vote again. Voted for Scott and Amy both times. Sorry to report they are at 35% right now.
  3. I've seen photos of son's friends doing this. Seems harmless enough. There is also a trend called "coning". Look it up on youtube. It has to do with purchasing ice cream cones at drive-thrus. That is weirder than planking.

  5. Is this the ad, Fire911? Is this the one you've seen, LR? http://atlanta.craigslist.org/wat/apa/2469890229.html
  6. https://www.facebook.com/aspenvillage.dallas I was just looking at the photos on FB and wondered about the fire safety of the building. I don't see any firewalls. Do building codes not require fire walls between rooms?
  7. While you have the time, do some cooking and freezing. Words of warning: Expect that your wife will still be very tired when she returns. Also expect to hear some jealousy directed at you because you are sleeping and have all your time to yourself. Better have the house spotless, the fridge and freezer stocked, and the yard looking great when your family returns home.
  8. Find an Autozone or Advance Auto and have them hook up a code reader to it. They do it for free. It may give you some information to work with.
  9. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=8187682 Someone donated a saxophone to Goodwill that is up to $2K in bidding. I'm thrilled for Goodwill and there will be some very happy saxophonist out there that wins the bid on this Selmer Paris Mark VI. I'm still trying to understand the logic of the naysayers...should this instrument have only been donated to an underpriveleged student saxophonist or a struggling musician? How would one determine exactly who it should have been donated to? Did the owners know they had such a valuable model sax? Maybe. Maybe not. Perhaps they did a
  10. http://www.shopgoodwill.com/ Another Goodwill online shopping/bidding site. Goodwill seems to be reaching out via many avenues to make the most sales.
  11. I'm a little surprised at the bitterness expressed about people finding a real deal or valuable items at Goodwill. Regarding the jacket, it is up to the donor to diligently research the items they are donating before giving them away if there is any concern that the items may hold more value then they initially thought. Regarding the silver, it appears Goodwill knew the items were valuable as they were priced close to retail. I believe Goodwill was probably quite happy with the money they received for the silver as they would prefer to have the cash in hand rather than wait for someone to c
  12. Oh, wow! That's a really great find! I do love a bargain, too. I find it fun to walk through Target looking only at their clearance items, same for Lowe's. I've told my kids that when I die, if they don't have me cremated, they'd better find a DEAL on a casket because I'd be very unhappy knowing I was put in something at full retail!
  13. I was shopping online recently for a black tuxedo for my son who is about to go off to college and who will be performing on sax in an ensemble or two and minoring in music performance. Today we dropped by the Goodwill store in Hiram to see if, by chance, there were any tuxedos in the store but son was not with us. From halfway across the store I see the men's suits all lined up nicely by color against the far wall. I see what I think might be a tux hanging to the left sort of by itself. I hurried to look more closely and there it was...a black tuxedo originally sold by Belk in excellent co
  14. I'm not a shopper on EBay because I prefer to see things in person most of the time before buying. I like Craigslist for buying and selling though but there you have to be cautious about meeting people. I've thought about selling things on EBay because of the broader market but have always backed away mainly because of the shipping. How do y'all handle shipping (packaging, calculating fees, your costs, insurance, tracking, etc.)?
  15. I have one of those Honda courtesy keys that only unlocks the driver's side door and starts the engine that I keep in my purse at all times. I keep it in a zippered pocket that I rarely go into so there is little chance of losing it. I think they call it a courtesy key because it's meant to be given to a valet or someone who might need access to your car without having to hand over all your keys or the key fob with the buttons and total access. Do you have one of those?
  16. I hope you enjoy your big blue blob! Be aware of the laws concerning pools as they are an "attractive nuisance" which means kids are naturally attracted to them and it is up to the property owner to make sure it is very difficult for children to get into the pool. Being in a fenced yard is a big plus but make sure your gates have locks that are high and unreachable by little ones and that they stay locked.
  17. Is this restaurant kin to the one on Veteran's Memorial Highway or thereabouts close to Marietta?
  18. What happened to the menopause subject from 4-6 days ago? I can't find the women's forum either. Just figured I'd ask while the subject of missing topics/forums is being addressed!
  19. Costco! I shop at Sam's Club often but I'd love to have the competition of a Costco nearby. I think Costco is a better store but the one in Kennesaw is soooo inconvenient and crowded.

  21. "We are also opening a new Dallas location at the intersection of Hwy. 92/Hwy. 120 in Dallas, in the empty lot across from Stars and Strikes. This is an incredible location that promises to bring in heavy consumer volume! Opening day for this location is Friday May 6th, 2011. As with Hiram, the hours will be 2:00-3:00pm vendor setup, and 3:00-7:00p, market operations." http://pauldingfarmers.blogspot.com/ found in http://www.accesspaulding.com/home.html
  22. Do you have any broken or other gold you no longer want that the jewelry store might take in trade toward the cost of the new rings? Do you have any family jewelry passed down from a previous generation that you could use instead? How does Sam's Club compare to what you are finding in jewelry stores? 14K Yellow Gold Comfort-Fit Band - 2mm $89.00 Women 14K Yellow Gold 4mm Comfort Fit Band $155.00 Women's size 8 14K Yellow Gold 6mm Comfort Fit Band $269.00 Men's size 10 (It appears size does matter in men's gold rings. When you change the size on the website the price changes.)

  24. How do you like the Kia Rondo now that you've had it for a little while? I've been looking into used Kias, Hyundais, Toyotas, and Hondas. Prices have me more interested in the Kias and Hyundais. Thanks and good luck with the "new" vehicle.
  25. I wish her well and a speedy recovery. Has it been confirmed that she was assaulted as stated in another post? Is there any offical record of it? Wondering if there are witnesses who could assist in an investigation.
