  1. Thanks guys. I'll pass the info on. And I'm not her wedding planner just concerned for her. She doesn't care much about the wedding and is only doing it for her family. She would have had a party in the backyard if it was up to her. I was with her for the wedding dress shopping and she got kinda bulldozed and ended up buying a dress when she was only prepared to look. I know that she was more relieved to just have a place booked and another thing checked off the list more then anything else. While I know the ceromony isn't all that special to her, I don't want it to be a bad experience because
  2. Yep, already booked. I just wanted to be on the look out for any potential problems. The wedding is in May and we just got the dresses. Invitations haven't been sent, and showers and parties still aren't concrete. Like I said, she is insanely busy because of her job.
  3. My friend will be having her wedding and reception at the Stanley House Inn in Marietta. It will be in May, and is kind of being thrown together late because of how busy she is. I'm getting mixed reviews online, but many are years old. Does anyone have any experience there? I would like to be prepared for any possible problems and the like. Thanks.
  4. This is why I like the package machine they have. Saves me lots of time because of crap like that.
  5. Its amazing how bold people are. We live off of Ridge and can be seen clearly from the road. Our front door is swelled shut so don't use it. In face we have furniture behind it, but we have a screen door on that side and it looks like it used to be the main entry. We had a guy pull off into our driveway and attempt to walk straight in through that front door because a cop was behind him. When we asked what he was doing he said "bad things". We have 4 dogs and had 2 cars in the drive at the time. And that guy was going to walk straight into our house.
  6. Yep, you were who I meant. We have WI and even when we are way over due they will dump the can. If we put out extra boxes or bags they won't take it until we are paid up. But it sounds like you haven't had them long enough for that to be the issue.
  7. Yea sorry, my comment was directed to the other poster.
  8. Didn't we have a holiday last week? Did you leave it out an extra day?
  9. There was an episode of Intervention where the boy started in the 4th grade I think. But he used that as a way to get high, and he would bend over and press one hand to each side of his neck. No one could even tell that he was doing it. It is one of those topics that needs to be brought up once a year. You never know when it will be the current fad.
  10. thanks guys! all of this was really helpful.
  11. My best friend is getting married in may. She is letting the bridesmaid's pick their own dresses. They just all have to be the same color and not a gown. Her colors are white, deep purple and yellow....like a flower. An iris I think. Her problem is she wants a yellow dress. Not off white, not champagne, not antique..but yellow. All she can find online are designer gowns and prom dresses. We are making plans to actually go shopping instead of just google but any advice? Do shops dye dresses like shoes? And for the bridesmaid dresses any ideas on making sure the dress color is similar so all of
  12. Agreed. I called DFCS 4 or 5 times 2 mornings in a roll. It wouldn't connect or it would go to busy signal.
  13. Thanks guys, i've gotten some PMs too so this coming week i'll be getting it into someone. And since someone did bring up a car model..it is an Element and I'm buying it. 5 year loan through LGE. Honda actually had us use them. I've got a higher interest rate but with no cosigner and my limited credit I was lucky. I wouldn't get approved for that same loan today. Speaking of leasing my friend bought a hyaundai genisis. She used a down payment and she is leasing for the first 3 years then it turns into a buy loan. No idea how that really works, but some how I don't think the $130 payment fo
  14. I guess that was what was bothering me. She knew enough of what her punishment would be that she was ready to record it, and as soon as the parents left the hysterics stopped.
  15. My parents counted about 12 trick or treaters this year. Now almost 17 years ago when I was trick or treating (oh wow.. 17?!) we ran the neighborhood till late. Came home to switch out candy bags and everything. We had enough kids to do a parade and keep sweets and drinks at the clubhouse for when kids needed a break. My parents neighborhood has changed so much in the last 20 years or so. They are one of the few family's that started the subdivision and are still there. I don't know if the parents are just taking the little kids elsewhere or if most of the neighborhood is 12 yrs and up now.
  16. Both my parents sent me this. Another thing to note is they won't be hiring till Jan 2012 and won't be up and running full time till later in that year.
  17. Worst place I ever went to was America's Best. They claim to completly look over your car during an oil change. So i go get an oil change, and drive to St Agustine. 2 weeks later I can hear metal on metal. I go in to firestone and come out with 4 new tires, new brakes and new rotars. Funny how nothing was mentioned from America's Best. ANd you have to make an appointment with them, period. Never again. I'm figuring the brakes have to be done no matter what, and as for the motor mount the Honda guy made it sound like my car was just going to shake more when I drive it if that doesn't get fixed.
  18. There is something that bothers me about this video....the minute her parents left her all crying stopped, within seconds even. I'm not excusing any of the behavior and I have a lot of empathy for the girl. We got the belt, and while we never got an actual punch or kick instead of a push or shove I would get scared enough when my dad was that angry that you'd wish he would hit you. That way you knew what was coming atleast. Instead of being so scared and not knowing if you were going to be hurt or just be yanked down the hallway to your bedroom while being screamed at in your face. But the
  19. I have 164,000 miles on my car. It is a 2005 model and I bought it in 2009 with 110,000 miles on it. So i've had it 2 years this month. The only reason it has been bugging me is because of the brakes. And the description for my mechanic's oil chance is "Change oil and filter. Lube all fittings on steering linkage, ball joints and drive shafts. Check and correct all fluid levels to include brake fluid, PS fluid, coolant, automatic transmission fluid" I know that that isn't a full inspection but it does mention the ball joints. When I first bought the car I had to replace a belt an
  20. I have an independent mechanic that I have used for the past few years. I went to the Honda dealer this week because I had to have a recall done. The mechanic there sent me home with some things he said needed repaired as well. I'm going to bring the estimate list to my normal mechanic but I wanted to know if he should have noticed that these things needed replaced while performing my normal maintenance. So far I've done oil changes, new tires, tire rotation and mentioned my brakes not working as well as I think they should a few times. Also, I'm giving the prices the dealership gave me...if y
  21. As long as it wasn't a distraction, I don't think there is a rule against it.
  22. I would think someone who chose to live this way also had mental issues that could qualify for disability. It is plausible to me. And about the whole EBT thing....whether its money given to them or money they earned people are going to spend thier money the same way. They might not eat nutritional food but they will have to deal with the results of that down the road. I get 200 bucks in EBT every month. It was a huge difference and I don't buy the healthiest food but I do buy what will get eaten. Would you rather people spend the money and actually consume what they bought or buy an approved m
  23. Also if the employer says i'll call you in 48 hours, then actually do it! I've had three companies do this. I even made it through two interviews, including a working interview, but was told I still had to meet the VP except he was in a meeting at that time. She smiled let me know how much she liked me and how well I fit what they wanted...then 48 hours passed and no word. Even tried emailing her again and never got a response. And group interviews, HATE group interviews. If the job isn't in sales then I see no reason why I have to throw away my manners and fight to answer a question just to p
  24. That or they pay decent starting money but what years of experience or experience with a certain software. I'm getting disheartened about it too.

    postage stamps

    USPS income used to provide my houseing and nice things in life. My ex is a rural carrier. I could agree to no saturday service, but boy is that going to create some issues. Currently my ex's second day off is monday that is when she does ALL of her doc apps , tests etc.So on a five day work week they will fire most of the subs then possibly not be prepared for when to many people aren't there. They already split up routes when needed. But at the same time we both pay most things online.
