  1. I'd consider contacting the Cochran law firm for possible action against the spider.
  2. Thought this was cool: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100309/ap_on_bi_ge/eu_sweden_shipwrecks " A dozen centuries-old shipwrecks — some of them unusually well-preserved — have been found in the Baltic Sea by a gas company building an underwater pipeline between Russia and Germany."
  3. Webelos is part of cub scouts and geared towards 4th and 5th graders.
  4. how old is your son? To most of us, "boy scouts" is 11 and above, but there is also a scouting program, "cub scouts" that is for 1-5th graders.
  5. I thought you were already retired?
  6. Would taking the 4H program private be an option - like the Boy Scouts and other similar activities?
  7. Not to diminish the sacrifice those that served there, but when I learned that photo was staged, it seemed to loose its luster.
  8. I don't think I pissed it away - I used the nest egg that I had prepared for a rainy day and provided food, shelter, and clothing for my family. Do you have any savings for a rainy day? No, I do not think that unemployment is a cop out. It helped me survived and part of my previous compensation was tied to paying into the system, so I was due what was due to me. My point is that many live to the extreme with new cars and purchasing more home than we can afford. It is all built on a delicate house of cards. If a little wind blows, then the house falls. I can only look to my expe
  9. While I can sympathize with those out of work, I think that many times our poor choices in the past come back to haunt us when something unplanned for (like unemployment) hits us. I survived 15 months being unemployed. I had planned well with a lot of savings and I have always lived beneath my means. I had no car payments (and still do not) and worked as a painter (under the table) and did just about anything I could to earn enough to make the mortgage payment and feed the family each month. I am thankful for my gub-ment check of $312/week. That helped a lot. I did benefit from one extensi
  10. I think if the person has no other sources, and expenses are cut, then an extension could be offered. Cable, cell phones, savings, and the lease on the SUV, etc. would all have to be gone in order to get an extension.
  11. slushy, but passable in Acworth, Dabbs Bridge Rd area. I learned my lesson in the last blizzard and went to the beer store at the first signs of snow.
  12. Dallas resident, Cobb fire fighter, Jeremy DeJames awarded Medal of Valor. Story from Paulding Neighbor newspaper: http://paulding-neighbor.com/detail/156896.html?content_source=&category_id=&search_filter=&event_mode=&event_ts_from=&list_type=&order_by=&order_sort=&content_class=&sub_type=&town_id=&page= Picture of truck 14 can be found here: http://fire.cobbcountyga.gov/station-14.htm
  13. that is a good idea - we get the feds to print us each $100 so we can play the lottery, which will fund education - and maybe one of us will get lucky enabling us to move to Alabama with a new double-wide on a lake.
  14. Can't we just get Uncle O to print us up some money - these kids deserve their free education!
  15. Why can't we outsource the high-priced professors to India? Just use tele-conference classrooms.
  16. I thought the lottery was passed to pay for the free-ride education that many enjoy.
  17. Does the "three strikes and your out" rule apply to killer whales?
  18. Unionmom, the part was designed by Toyota and made in Canada by CTS Corp (itself an American corporation with HQ in Indiania)
  19. I believe it is one part - check this info: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8497746.stm
  20. MCMM, who made the faulty part?
  21. I got it now - it does not matter where the materials originate or what country the product is made in - it is all about the number of Americans employed. Are you counting the Mexicans and Canadians as "americans" since they work for an "american" company?
  22. :yahoo:I guess you didn't know that one MCMM, right?
