Mrs. C

I love Mountain Park. Glad you've found it and hope you enjoy it!

I would probably have been upset if he didn't buy the two if he got a good deal. I wouldn't really care that it was my birthday, no biggie for me. But then again, I'm older, so things become less important as I age.

Congratulations!!

May be the amount owed to the bank.

A photo of your family. Maybe a 'then' and 'now' in a double frame.

The fraud thing is very real and happening very frequently now. I know 2 people in Texas who, when filing tax returns electronically, were rejected because someone had already filed in their name, using their SSN, but a different address. It also has happened to us, all 3 of us within the last week.

I agree. Sounds like stolen identity, or the person's current address would have been on the tax return.

Google mahogany spinet desk. Lots of info came up for me.

We have owned 3 Honda Pilots and loved every one of them, still have 2 of them, wish we still had the 3rd! Our latest, a 2010, was purchased from a dealer in North Carolina. We had looked here, but no one here had the color/model we wanted. The guys in NC were great! We contacted them to see if they had what we were looking for in stock, they did and my DH said, "Well, I guess I could take a bus there and drive it home." The guy said, "No. We'll bring it to you." They brought it right to our house on a one-car trailer, unloaded it, said, "Take it for a drive and see if this is what you

Do we need to make reservations?

Try singing things to him. When my now 18 month old grandson was about a year old, I'd sing little songs like "Passy, where are you?" when he misplaced his pacifier. Instead of getting mad or frustrated, he'd start singing, "Pasi, are you?" and we'd all look for it while we sang. He still sings it and for other things, too. "Puppy, where are you?" "Ci-Ci, where are you?" I sing every little song I can think of and he tries his best to join in.

I guess if the restaurants were concerned about it, they would put the dispensers back behind the counter and serve the drinks themselves. A few years ago, as we were traveling out West, one of the McD's told us that we could get free refills at any McD's if we kept our cups. Maybe they've changed that...

Thanks for this idea, CJ. I tried it last night and the family loved the chops fixed this way - delicious!

When grilling pork chops, I mix up about 1/2 cup olive oil and 1/2 package dry ranch dressing mix. Let the pork chops sit in the mixture until the grill is hot, then I baste the pork chops as I turn them. Another way on the grill, I marinate the chops or a loin in a mix of Italian dressing and Dale's Sauce (about 1/2 and 1/2). In the oven, you can use just the dry ranch dressing mix. Just sprinkle it over the chops on both sides and bake until done. Another oven way: Dredge the chops in melted butter and then in crushed corn flakes (or put the corn flakes in a large zip lock b

Cades Cove is wonderful!

These are also symptoms for gall bladder problems. I hurt in my stomach and side, my friend hurt in her neck and shoulders, my doctor said you can hurt anywhere with gall bladder. A sonogram will tell you for sure.

If he has an Iphone (maybe other smart phones, too), you can track his whereabouts. We're old - you know, VERY old, and our son is always calling us and saying, "Why are you at Kroger?" (tee hee, or at Target, or at La Cocino, wherever!) Of course, we can track him, too!

Cobb Antiques (I think that's the name), between (and opposite side of the road) Whitewater and the Big Chicken on 'the four lane' in Marietta, next to Northern Tools. If you're looking for cameras in particular, you might contact some of the camera stores (Showcase, in Atlanta for example) - they often have old stuff on consignment.

They were selling them in front of Sam's yesterday, and she said they would be across the street at Bobby's Cheeseburgers, JCP, and a couple of other places over the weekend.

SWA is beginning service on Feb 12, but to limited cities from ATL. It's more complicated than just "We bought Air Tran". They have different pilot groups, flight attendant groups, policies, contracts, pay scales, and plane types. Each of these things has to be resolved individually between both airlines before a merger will be complete. It won't happen overnight. My guess is the destination you purchased your ticket for in March will be still operated by the Air Tran side of "SWA". They may call both sides Southwest for some time, but they must continue to operate individually until all

The Marietta Journal does Scout tours, and they usually publish a photo of the scout troop! Just call them and ask about a tour for scouts.

Ewwww, this is what I get after praying to see a nekkid woman?!

I'm older, but yes, we did have a lot of wild plums around here. There was probably about an acre of wild plums at our house, bushes so thick you could hardly walk through them, but boy, those plums were good! DH and I had been wondering where all the plums had gone.

We ate at one in Paris for breakfast - mystery meat on that Egg McMuffin! In Hawaii, they had Spam McMuffins!
