  1. True ... I just wish they had made it more specific. Like washing my dogs for instance. I can't wash them outside. Where I only use the hose to wet them down and rinse them off. Now I have to use the tub inside. Fill it up ( which takes more water than the hose ) and then wash the tub out when I am done ( which takes even more water ). Tell me how this is conserving ? And Yes I do have to wash them .. they are inside doggies and I refuse to deal with the smell. :lol:

     

    Personally, I'm getting tired of having to wash the car inside in the garage. Cars are made to be washed outside. :p But everyone would be freaking out if I ran a water hose from the upstairs buckets of reclaimed water to use to wash the car outside. But it's a thought...

     

    I'm seriously thinking of getting a deep well dug since it would pay for itself in just over a year. I guess I could plumb it in to my house line with proper valving to that if the well ever went dry I could switch back over to county water. Or I could plan on using the well water for all outside water uses and keep county water for inside. Or I might want to plumb up well water to the toilets and washing machine as well since they use the most water.

     

    I don't see the "emergency" (notice how it is an emergency when someone else screwed up in their planning) being lifted anytime soon. You remember they still had the odd-even system going on when we were well ahead on rainfall for the year just a few years ago. When have you ever heard of policiticians giving something back once they get it?

     

    It just really gets to me how all of these other areas of Georgia, Alabama and Florida aren't sharing the same pain as we are. My brother-in-law is visiting from Florida this weekend talking about how his sprinkler system is keeping his lawn green this year and how the people over in Appalach are complaining about the lower water levels killing everything off. Whine, whine, whine.

     

    I hope someone takes this water mismanagement issue in their platform to replace everyone in county and local government.

  2. That $1 million is just to take care of the dogs. It has nothing to do with Michael Vick's damages or mitigating his sentence.

     

    RICHMOND: Michael Vick has paid the U.S. government nearly $1 million in restitution after pleading guilty to federal dogfighting charges.

     

    For continuing coverage on this breaking news event, please

    refer to http://www.wvec.com?bn.

     

    And

     

    RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Two of Michael Vick's co-defendants have

     

    been sentenced to 18 months and 21 months in prison on federal

     

    dogfighting conspiracy charges.

  3. Why is it that anytime something like this involves blacks and whites it's called "racial"?

     

    Why is it that anytime something like this involves gays and straights it's called a "hate crime"?

     

    Isn't all violence, mixed races or mixed sexual persuasions, really a hate crime? It's definitely not because they love or like each other.

     

    I guess if it was a fight between two teenaged white guys, one of German descent and one of Jewish descent, that it would be called "racial"?

    What if the two guys didn't even know about their heritage? Would it still be classified as a "racial" or would it be a "hate crime"?

     

    Things that make you go... hmmmmm.

  4. Some words just didn't need to be changed...

     

     

    You're a mean one, Mr. Stench.

    You really are a heel.

    You're as smelly as my brother

    After eating a Mexican meal.

    Mr. Stench.

     

    You're a rotten banana

    With a greasy black peel.

     

    You're a monster, Mr. Stench.

    You smell like a real butt hole.

    Your stream is full of crappers,

    You've got floaters in your soul.

    Mr. Stench.

     

    I wouldn't touch you, with a

    thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.

     

    You're a vile one, Mr. Stench.

    We can smell you for over a mile.

    The chairman said you didn't smell

    he said with a crooked smile.

    Mr. Stench.

     

    Given the choice between the two of you

    I'd take the stinky fields by a mile.

     

    You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch.

    You're a nasty, wasty skunk.

    Your heart is full of unwashed socks

    Your soul is full of gunk.

    Mr. Stench.

     

    The three words that best describe you,

    are, and I quote: "Stink. Stank. Stunk."

     

     

     

    T'was the month before Christmas

    As we stammered through the house

    Our noses were pinned and

    Scarves over our mouths.

     

     

    Green sewage spewage

    Hung in the air

    It seemed there was no hope of

    Getting the commission to care.

     

    The Paulding Sewer Grinch had

    Humbugged our home with his stench.

     

    Your turn. Add something.

  5. Let's see.

    Most liquids give me gas.

    And foods that are naturally wet give me gas.

    And of course all dry foods give me gas.

    I'm not sure what I can eat that won't give me gas.

    But I don't like the alternative.

    Just drive with the window cracked a bit.

     

    Of course, mine you can hear and get out of the way.

    My wife's, on the other hand (someone said fluff), are the silent but deadly kind.

    I call her's nuclear. If the blast doesn't get you, the fallout will.

  6. I agree, this was for extra credit so I think she learned her lesson. Kids these days take the easy way out and does not write it out before typing it, maybe she has learned her lesson. Her saying has always been, "The computer is of the devil!"

    I just love it how people always blame the computer. :lol: GIGO

  7. Yo momma's so ugly her reflection in the mirror ducks.

     

    Yo momma's so ugly people go as her for Halloween.

     

    Yo momma's so ugly her picture is on the inside of a Roach Motel.

     

    Yo momma's so ugly, she gave Freddy Kruger nightmares.

     

    Yo momma's so ugly she could be the poster child for birth control!

     

    Yo momma's so ugly the psychiatrist makes her lie facedown.

     

    Yo momma's so ugly when she sits in the sand the cat tries to bury her.

     

    Yo momma's so ugly her momma had to be drunk to breastfeed her.

     

    Yo momma has so much hair on her upper lip, she braids it.

     

    Yo momma's so ugly, her birth certificate is an apology letter from the condom factory.

     

     

    At least I picked out the "funny" ones. :lol:

  8. It appears they've lifted the previous limitations for international flight. So if you're carrying on large electronic devices (laptop, hair dryers) you may need to remove them and place them in the plastic bin for separate x-ray screening. Small electronic devices left in your carryon are ok (electric razors, curling irons, etc.). They just ask that you windup the cords and layer the clothes and devices in your carryon so that x-ray and inspection go smoother. The only limitation currently is still on liquids.

    I've carried on my nail clippers for the last few years without a problem. The only time I've known TSA to remove nail clippers from someone's bag was because the bag got alerted on during x-ray and the TSA "has to" find something to remove to keep from screening it over and over and over...

     

     

     

  9. The oil companies are trying to manufacture all of the different varieties of gasoline (different octanes, mixtures based on geographic region). If we could reduce that to 2 or 4 varieties (regular, premium, California and Not) then our refining capacity could be greatly increased and reduce costs even with the rise in price of crude.

     

    Of course that would take leadership - which we have severely lacking in both political parties at the moment.

  10. If you only married 2 months ago then I'd be getting out of that situation since it probably won't get much better. You guys should still be on your honeymoon and playing nice. If he's acting that way now I wouldn't want to see how he acts years from now. I hope you don't invest too much more time in that relationship as it will only hurt worse. Cut your losses now. IMHBAO

     

     

  11. It's too bad no one was ever able to make anything of the Cotton Gin. That place had the potential to make a good steakhouse, but the prices were always high and the service always sucked, no matter who ran it. The food was never that great either. I liked the rustic atmosphere. I wish someone would make something good of it. It was going to hell the last time I went there.

    I went to the Cotton Gin the last time it was open. The prices were really good and I was wondering how long they were going to be able to stay open. The problem with most large restaurant chains want their stores designed to a common model. Some communities have put design standards in place that require certain sign limitations, color limitations, etc. It would be great if Hiram could convince Red Lobster to come in take over the Cotton Gin site without a lot of rebuilding. A new driveway from the back coming up by the dental office to the traffic light would work great then.

     

    We ate at the Steak House in Rockmart last night and the ribeye steaks were fantastic. We'll definitely be going back.

  12. I still have all of my wisdom teeth and I've never had any teeth extracted. They've been okay for 49 years and I hope to have them around for years to come. They've never given me any problems at all.
