  1. Beautiful photos! The lighting is just so perfect. I'm not going to play the game. I did a quick (and, hopefully accurate) run through of the remaining numbers. Hope this makes it easier for others to choose: 7, 10, 16, 18, 20, 22, 25, 27, 30, 36, 39, 40, 42, 43, 45, 47, 48, 54, 55, 56, 59, 61, 62, 66, 68, 71, 72, 78, 80, 81, 85, 90, 91, 93, 94, 95, 97, and 98.
  2. My 13 y.o. just got braces in March of this year on the top and bottom. We expect it to take about 14 months but could be 18 months. Ortho did not recommend an expander across the roof of his mouth. Cost is $4650. Paid $250 once we committed for impressions/x-rays/file set-up then $800 down and financed $3600 at 0% (payments of $200 month billed to our credit card for 18 months). We knew this expense and some crown work for another family member was coming so last year during open season we chose the more expensive dental plan coverage because it would pay more. Dental insurance is reimbu
  3. That woman is a true moron! Is this happening in Cobb county? If so, file an online traffic complaint here: https://www.cobbcountyegov.org/secure/police/traffic-complaint.htm
  4. Thansk, that may be the answer right there. I still have questions about it. If the minor is in a car with an 18 year old driver who has his Class C license going somewhere specific does that constitute wandering and loitering? Is it the wandering and loitering that makes it an offense to be out after midnight? Does it have to be a parent or can it be an adult, 18 or over who, with parental consent, assumes supervision of the minor? I'll have to go look for the definition of wandering and loitering.
  5. I understand the graduated driver's license curfew laws and know a minor can't drive after midnight until he turns 18 AND upgrades his license with the State. What I am trying to figure out is whether there is a general curfew that prohibits minors (17 and younger) from being out in public after a set time within the state of Georgia. I have found cities in the state of Georgia that have curfew laws. The City of Powder Springs has a curfew for minors. However, I cannot find anything specific to the unincorporated areas of Cobb or Paulding county. There are provisions for curfews during ti
  6. It seems kind of gross but some people might prefer it. It really doesn't matter to me as long as there are choices. I'm not sure how "green" it is because I believe lye is made by washing water through wood ashes. If trees have to be burned to make lye to perform this procedure it seems that it might not be any better than standard cremation.

  8. Just listening to Neal B. on the radio and he mentioned Hiram High's Valedictorian's speech and plans to link to it on his site! Sounds like it was a good speech. Pubby pretty much blocks all things related to Neal when you use his last name so I don't know if the link will show up here.
  9. I had carpal tunnel surgery done by Resurgens a few years back. Waited about 3 weeks between surgeries so I'd at least have one hand free while recuperating. I am very happy I had it done. I was miserable with wrist, arm, and finger pain especially at night. It felt like lightning was shooting out of my fingers! Braces did not help. The shock test was uncomfortable but quick. I still have some stiffness in my hands if I use them a lot and they will cramp up if I do lots of work requiring squeezing (cutting hair or cake decorating). But, I do not regret the surgery and thank God that pe
  10. We have AT&T's UVerse TV and Internet and get McAfee included in the price. I don't like McAfee at all. It did not catch "Windows Recovery Virus" last week (TWICE!). Husband went to CNET downloads and chose a different product which was free. Also, we like MalwareBytes and SpyBot for regular scans. By the way, I called AT&T asking for help and was put through to their McAfee division. They offered to check my computer remotely for $89. I'm so glad I didn't go for it.
  11. I watched about 15 minutes of the show and wow, are they weird. I'm glad to learn more about them living in the south with us so we can all be more aware and avoid being scammed. I never did hear why England evicted them or what the law was that was used against them. Can anyone explain?
  12. So was that an error on the sign or was it really that price at the pump?
  13. I attended a graduation ceremony recently and overall it was wonderful. The one thing about graduation ceremonies that really gripes me is that some people think they don't have to follow the rules of common courtesy or the direct instruction from school leadership. Prior to the presentation of graduates by name the principal specifically asked that audience members not clap or cheer for their student so that the family of the next student would not miss out hearing their student's name. That lasted through about the first 20 students. Granted, the large majority of the audience was polite
  14. I've not tried to befriend anyone on P.com as a FB friend. As to the question above...describe the symptoms (probably should start a new thread) and maybe we can help. We had the Windows Recovery Virus here last week that puts up new windows that look fairly authentic asking you to run scans on the computer. It also hides folders so it looks like you've lost files. What a pain in the @$$ it was but it is fixed now.
  15. I don't want to copy and paste here the section of code where this addressed for copyright reasons. However, look up the Georgia Code Annotated Title 17, Chapter 6, Article 4, (§ 17-6-110). In a nutshell...if you are in fear of bodily harm or injury to your property (or of a family member) you can request (and pay for) from an authorized officer of the court that he issue an arrest warrant. A hearing will be held to determine if probable cause exists and if so, a bond may be required of the accused to keep the peace. If no probable cause is found the complainant (you) would be responsib
  16. I do love the large packages of skinless, boneless breasts at Sam's Club, too. They are probably brined in salt water but they stay really tender and moist during cooking. From Wal-Mart I like to get the roasters, never the fryers and I think they are Colonial brand but I'm not positive on that. Rarely shop at Kroger or Publix.
  17. I haven't seen that offer on the WW site...how does that work?
  18. Spin off from Sun Valley thread...I'm thinking of buying a four pack of White Water season passes plus a parking pass. This would run $200 + $35. The kids would pay half of the ticket prices. I've never been to WW and don't know if I'll be happy with such a big expense for summer entertainment. I won't be dropping the kids off at the park, I'll be staying, but with passes I'm guessing I won't feel obligated to stay all day so that may be a plus. I understand the food is very expensive so I'll pack a cooler and leave it in the car most times. What do you do with your towels and sunscreen
  19. Appraisal estimate is why we didn't refinance last month. I checked with several lenders including our own and was provided an estimate of where the appraisal would come in and it was back to about what we paid for it. It was right on the border of us having just 20% equity and if it came in low we would have been required to pay for PMI which I refuse to do. So, we just continue to pay as we have (5.5% rate/23 years left). I wasn't willing to spend the $350 appraisal on such a borderline case. Ask the lender to run an appraisal estimate to give you some information with which you can mak
  20. http://www.atlanta-airport.com/docs/Airport/AMACSExecutiveSummary.pdf Paulding's airport is not near the top in consideration but since it's a ways off anyway, perhaps development in the county and of the airport could increase the odds for Paulding. "Paulding Northwest Atlanta Airport: Moderate/Significant. The airport’s proximity to ATL airspace and its runway orientation make it particularly challenging." It strikes me as odd that the runway orientation was not designed differently considering how recently it was built. Page 10 has a chart showing Paulding and 2 others hav
  21. I've never heard of anything like this. I don't quite get it...who's doing the painting? What does the staff do?

  24. All I see are a lot of questions and allegations but no proof of wrongdoing as of this moment. Let them go through the records and explain it. Granted, he probably "acted stupidly" in barring Fox5.
  25. I picture lots of Dunkin' Donut and Krispy Kreme sponsorships.
