  1. I would not buy one. I can't decide...in some ways it looks like a pig then in another way it looks like someone hiding in a cat costume.
  2. Interesting. What raw materials would be used to build these panels/roads? Just a quick review of the video reveals plastic, metal wires, glass, silicon, phosphorous and boron (which I believe are needed to make solar cells), and others.
  3. Oh no...not the tunnel stories again.
  4. What would make a dog eat such a plant?
  5. Another person in agreement here. We only went to one Rome Braves game a few years ago and it was really nice. The stadium is great but definitely hot when the summer sun is up. When we were there the kids brought baseballs and Sharpie markers with them and lined up along the wall by the dugout and asked for autographs. Two of mine got Tommy Hanson's signature and now he pitches for the Atlanta Braves. He was the most pleasant of the group that walked by and signed several that day. I wish gas weren't so expensive because I'd go more often if it wasn't. It's about 45 miles each way for
  6. Why is that? I open the door a little lots of times because it can get warm/stuffy in the exam room after waiting. I never thought twice about it being something I'm not supposed to do. Is a patient waiting behind a closed door a real expectation of nurses/doctors/staff?
  7. Pictures are always helpful, too. I'll know right away if I'm interested based on a photo.
  8. Sounds like an answering machine or answering service would take care of this. Whenever I've had to call a doc for a nurse call back I always expect to have to wait and receive a call back (sometimes in 10 minutes sometimes in 60 or more). It's not really that big a deal. If I think it's an emergency I'm not going to be on the phone calling you.
  9. Yesterday I saw a place on Antioch Road at Hwy. 92 behind the storage facility that advertised machining and welding. Sorry, no number or name, as I didn't pay that much attention.
  10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCmRIFVH4O4 Hoping I have embedded it right here to make it easy to watch. They really did a great job. Interesting fact is that the first song is done backwards and the kids had to learn to mouth the words backwards (notice the confetti going up in the cafeteria and kids hair flying around in strange ways). I have a son at this school and unfortunately he wasn't involved in this because of other commitments. The band also could not participate because they had leadership training going on that day in the band room. Edited To Add: I'm pretty sur
  11. Yea! Glad to hear it. I received a $5 off $20 postcard coupon a few days ago and look forward to using it. Wonder if they'll have the popcorn machine like the previous owners. My kids loved that.
  12. Same here. I read an article yesterday (and I'm sorry I don't have the link) that stated the son was not in the condo at the time. This poor young man is a student at Harrison high school in Cobb. I will keep him and his family in my prayers.
  13. Could be good for the county and for some jobs. Looking at Google maps I see a corner on that location that is all trees so maybe that is where they want to go. Sometimes Google maps isn't up to date so that corner may have changed by now. I personally am not likely to ever eat at Olive Garden. The last time we went (2010) it was almost $100 for our family of 6 to eat on a Sunday with no appetizers, alchohol, or desserts. We had gift cards and that is why we went there. It was nice but not THAT nice in my opinion.
  14. (770)443-8099 BLD Waste Services We've used them for a few months now. Paid $96 for six months service. You can by the quarter ($48 unless that has changed) if you want, though. I am satisfied with their service.
  15. That is a real aggravation to me, too. My kids all believed (aka were led to believe) that every store had a "spanking lady" who could be called. My phone has an entry for The Spanking Lady and the mere mention of calling her quieted my kids down. This worked up until they were about 6 or 7. Sometimes when we were grocery shopping and they didn't listen I'd catch a glimpse of the spanking lady and tell them about it. They'd quickly straighten up and be on the lookout for the rest of the trip. This isn't my ONLY form of behavior control, just one of many tools and forms of discipli
  16. I would not like being approached nor would I approach someone else about their pcom identity. I prefer to remain unknown, as much as possible. I prefer not to contact businesses through my pcom identity especially if it might require them coming out to my house.
  17. UGA - I guess I need to give them at least a few days to get the info considering I just submitted it today.
  18. LOL. Does that info come from the schools or from the FAFSA/HOPE office?
  19. Sorry about that. How long did it take for you to hear back from them?
  20. This was the first time I've had to fill out a FAFSA or the HOPE scholarship application. They weren't terribly complicated but required gathering a lot of info. I'm glad they're done (at least until I hear back from them if they want some more info). I'm curious to hear others' experiences with the financial aid process. Did you have problems? Was there more to do after the initial process? How long did it take to get notice back? The college applicaton process was much more difficult than these forms (so far). There were so many hoops to jump through. Fortunately, our seni
  21. Isn't there a shop on Hwy. 92 by Lori's Amazing Pets store that does braids? Thought I saw a sign in a window there one day recently.
  22. Almost exact same story for us. We qualified for about $190K in 1998 but told the agent not to bother showing us anything over $140K. We planned everything to be paid on one salary. If you ever watch the show on HGTV called "Property Virgins" you will see the young, often naive, couples shopping for homes that are way above what they even qualified for. They'll list it on the screen somthing like this: Loan Qualification: $300,000 (doesn't everyone get approved for more than they should?) Down Payment: $ 80,000 AMOUNT AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE: $
  23. http://p5.police.cobbcountyga.gov/ "There has been a report of a black bear in the area of Due West Road near the West Hampton Subdivision. The bear was caught on a trail camera as it was eating bird feed in the back yard of a residence. Several photos were taken between the hours of 8:30 pm and 11:00 pm, on March 27th. Although there were no bear/human conflicts, please make sure to keep your pets up and on a leash." Looks to be on Due West Road between Burnt Hickory Road and Dallas Highway not far from The Avenue and Kroger.
  24. We've never had that happen either. Fed's always been bigger than State. I learned something about taxes in the last few years that surprised me: before filing your Georgia return you should run it two ways...one using the standard Federal deduction and one using the forced itemized deductions. It could greatly affect the amount of your State refund. Our itemized deductions were about $100 less than the Fedeal standard deduction so it appeared to benefit us to use the standard deduction to increase the Fed refund. However, by forcing the itemized deductions it increased our Georgia
