  1. Merle's has good BBQ, incredible hambugers, bananna pudding that'll make you wanna slap your grandma cause hers ain't that good. BUT....unless you like small wings with way to much cayanne pepper on them avoid the wings. If you like'em mild they may be a lot better, but if you go for hot it tastes to me like they have a basic sauce that they load with cayenne to up the heat.
  2. Put it in a solid sided container covered by a wet paper towel in the fridge.
  3. I called, $165.00. Heading the wrong direction, but thanks anyway.
  4. Yes to the perio. About a week since the last one, get it done every three months. They've never numbed me, so either they think I'm really tough or it's just a regular cleaning. I'm not neccesarilly looking for dirt cheap, just trying to cut some of the expense.
  5. Thank you, but I really need to know what it's gonna cost at regular price going forward.
  6. Just like everybody else, things are kinda tight here at the ranch. The dentist that I use currently kinda lost my trust when he sold me a dental apparatus for over $500.00 that I later got replaced for $85.00. I really need frequent cleanings and their charging about $130.00 dollars a pop for those. If you don't mind posting what your doctor is charging for cleanings it would be a big help to me and probably many others.
  7. I can't answer them all, but some I can. Who will own it? If they're going to use Eminent Domain then the State of Georgia. That's unless the Legislature passes new laws to give the builder this right. They won't. The ROW will be leased to the builder/operator for a set number of years. Who will be responsible for maintaining it? The builder/operator during the term of the lease. how much money will Paulding see from the project? Nada, as far as tolls. Any additional revenue to the county would/could/might flow from any industry or higher land use generated by the presence of the r
  8. You've obviously taken a stance, but it seems it isn't allowing you to see the points I've tried to make. As would be evidenced by the fact I've already aknowledged the SR 92 projects on the books along with there limitations. Believe me, I'm aware of it. As a matter of fact I conducted the Preliminary Field Plan Reviews of the 4 projects that make it up. If you want the additional industry that the new road would bring to west Paulding, then the road is absolutely a good idea. I never said that it wasn't. What I've said is that it will do nothing for any of the traffic patterns that exist
  9. Exactly my point. Trucks will not go another 10-12 miles out and then an additional distance on a skew. Not with fuel at $4 a gallon with a bullet. Even if they would, additional trucks with no improvement to that particular area brings Hiram and eventually Dallas to a grinding halt for several hours a day. And nearly as bad the rest of the time as it is now during those same hours. We, (and I say we even though the seed was planted and growing before I got here) grew or allowed to grow a dang monster in the middle of Hiram. Beggining with the widening of 278, or maybe slighyly in antiipat
  10. Since this involves two industries that have eaten the best years of my life, I'll stick my two cents in. You can bet the farm it won't be the red and/or blue lines just due to ROW aquisition costs up front and environmental mitigation costs on the back end. That just leaves the yellow which is too far out to draw north bound traffic from the rail yard. Plus it would require a trip through Hiram which is fast becoming enough of a bottleneck to discourage trucks even if it where closer in. It would probably relieve truck traffic through Cobb and the City though. As well as getting folks on
  11. What size trailer do you need? I've got a tandem axle 6.5 X 16. It'll tote a pickup, but I don't know if it's wide enough for a tractor.
  12. If they are using a brokerage, then they probably don't have their own authority. If that's the case, they are asking you to build a brokerage from scratch. If so, there are significant expenses to obtain everything you're going to need to get this up and running plus it will be your full time job at no pay for a while. If you know what you're doing, 10 days to 2 weeks, if not then most of a month. People that have been doing this forever are having a hard time getting by right now. If you want to learn the field, then I strongly suggest that you do it on somebody else's dime. Up side is m
  13. There is a 50' ROW (25' either side of the center line)but it belongs to the City of Hiram. They annexed all the way down the ROW on Nebo to get the first sub-division on the left coming back from Grand's towards 92. They just refuse to maintain it. The County won't touch it. Somebody wanted to know why their tax dollars should pay to prune the trees. If somebody comes on your property, invited or not, and is injured or killed because you were negligent in the upkeep of said property, you best be insured. If it can be proven that an injury or death was caused on a City ROW because sight di
  14. The roommate was outside and said he heard a solid smack with no tire squeal ahead of it. Then the sound of other things (sounded like trees?) being run into like the cars seperated and headed into the woods. From past wrecks around here, it all sounds like somebody pulling out of one of the driveways on the left going east. The address would put it at the dirt drive going back into the woods and a couple of drives east. Folks, there are ornamental trees that the power company nor the City of Hiram prune back. With the grade of the road, the entire line of driveways on the left going e
  15. A set price is bid under a LIN item to provide the signs per each for the life of the project, no matter how long it takes.
  16. There's a little chinese buffet on SR 92 in Douglasville in the Ingles shopping center about a mile south of I-20 thats my peronal favorite. I ate lunch there about twice a week when I worked in D'ville. All you can eat and a drink for about $7.00. Can't remember the name (maybe China Star?) or the dinner price. It's probably a couple bucks more.
  17. Have they sent out a tech yet? Might want to have the service line checked down to the main. I've had the same problems your describing. It took several calls and several trips out for them to get it fixed right. Things wear out over time. They'll send out a tech and they'll check the line and find a problem, fix that one problem and call it good. But if your stuffs been up for a good while, there's probably more than one problem. Mine ended up completely rebuilt from the streeet up and buried. That helped for a while and the last tech replaced all the connectors and splitters into th
  18. Taxpayers chip in about $1.3 billion. For those people, the state match is figured in as a part of their cost of employment. Every entity that hires people budgets a certain amount as that persones cost of employment. Those funds belong to the employee whether they are paid out to them or as a cost to provide benefits to that position. If they want to take back those benefits, then they need to pay back the employees money.
  19. Much ado about nothing. I can't speak about other states, but I can tell you that in Ga. the ERS and TRS pension benefits paid out are not funded with tax dollars from the State Budget. The only state funds involved are that portion of the individual employees salaries which are the match of contributions the employees make/made to the system. I say "make/made" because that system went by the wayside a few years ago when all new employees went to a private investment account retirement system. Only those hired under the old system still pay into it. For those people, the state match is fig
  20. Does anybody know who might have these locally? Danged if I can find them myself. Thanks in advance for any info.
  21. I shouldn't tell this but here goes. The true story of the day I knew that I was officially old: I had been out all day one summer on the bike. Coming back thru D'ville I noticed a bar that had never caught my eye before, and well...a powerfull thirst was upon me. So I circle thru the parking lot and there's like 3 or 4 cars but the sign says open. About that time I spot a sign that says "Harley Parking Only" marking off some parking spots right up front. Now I'm thinking that this may be a new home. So, park it, get off and walk into this huge open space, room for a couple hundred peo
  22. "I like my burgers medium with crispy edges. I've never been able to achive that without completely drying them out." Somebody said size, but take it a step further for these results, add shape. Done by hand you'll almost always get a lump in the middle and thinner edges. just like anything else, if you want a consistent evenly cooked burger it needs to be uniform. At the dollar stores you can usuually find a little plastic burger press. The more usefull ones will be three pieces with a base, a form and a press. Of course if you're just to cheap to shop at these fancy establishments
  23. When you gotta get all your teeth in one room just to brush'em.
  24. "They are poor, drive trucks that don’t work half the time, and dip." Now,now. Lets leave my poor old truck out of this. 3rd favorite redneck joke: Bubba shows up at his daddy's house around 9 PM on his wedding night. His daddy asks him "Boy, what are you doing here? Ain't you supposed to be on your honeymoon?" Bubba replies "Daddy I found out she's a virgin. Dang it, if she ain't good enough for her family, she ain't good enough for ours!"
