  1. No, they didn't say schools are delayed 3 hours. It said we are expecting bad weather, and people should be prepared. Depending on the circumstances, school may be delayed as much as 3 hours, dismissed early, or closed altogether. In other words, "heads up!"
  2. If I say you're not crazy, will you share the winnings with me? No, seriously, I don't think it's crazy. I've watched enough John Edward to believe it's his way of saying "Hello" and heck, it only cost you a buck!

    sweet 16 dilema

    Check to see if there is anything interesting at the Fox, Cobb, or Philips... maybe a play or something. When is her birthday? Does she enjoy outdoor adventures?
  4. The food industry also markets to our laziness and to our sweet tooth. Who wants to take the time to grill chicken and -gasp- cut up and cook fresh vegetables when you can open up a box, throw it in a microwave, and eat a yummy dinner in 6 minutes? Have you ever looked at the sugar content on spaghetti sauce? Seriously....why would you need to put sugar in 'sketti? Because our taste buds are so out of whack that everything has to have sugar in it for it to taste good any more. Read labels, people. Look at the ingredients and the nutrition information of the foods that you are ingestin
  5. What do you think we can do as individuals to make a difference?
  6. We are making a conscious effort to teach our children how to eat healthy and exercise...but that's just at our house. Both of my children pack their own lunches and one of them told me one of her friends asked her if her mom only packed health food for her. She said, "no, I do. " The trend in American foods has been going on since the creation of Coca Cola, breakfast cereal, processed foods, and fast food places.
  7. Make him clean it up ONCE and see if he does it again! My DD used to move too slowly and I just lost my patience with her one day and made her clean it up. It made a huge difference. Now if she tries but doesn't get there in time I always clean up, but she usually does fine.
  8. What kind of treadmill did you get? We were thinking about getting one but can't decide. Congrats on getting started on a walking program!
  9. We saw this accident happen. If anyone knows the people involved, I'd like to know how they are doing. It was a pretty hard hit, but I would think if everyone had seatbelts on, they should be OK.
  10. I saw the signs for a meeting on Oct 5 at Allatoona H S to discuss Cedarcrest thoroughfare. I won't be able to go... does anyone know what changes or improvements are being proposed?
  11. Leaf rubbings - rub crayons sideways on paper laying on top of different shaped leaves. Car racing - I didn't think much of this because I have girls, but they started pushing them down the hall and would race for hours. Have her experiment with all the different floor textures and then with a ramp. Any kind of role playing...let her take your order and serve you...cut out pictures of food to play with.
  12. Make sure she drinks lots of fluids for several days before the blood test. It will plump up the veins and make it easier and less painful. Been there myself....and it does make a difference.
  13. Naturegirl, where are you camping?
  14. Unicoi should be very pretty in the Fall. We were there last month and enjoyed it. It is steep in every direction, so we didn't do as much hiking there as we do at other parks . If you haven't seen the waterfall at Anna Ruby, you should try to go...it's on the same road as Unicoi. Enjoy!!
  15. Any campers here? I love to go camping in the Fall, and I'm looking forward to going somewhere next week. Where do you camp and what do you do when you camp?
  16. I haven't heard of it...what is it?
  17. Same here. Up early to get some things done, but looking forward to a lazy afternoon nap later. The weather should be terrific all weekend. Hope everyone has a great weekend! Be safe ... DON'T drink and drive!
  18. Hello. hello. Is this thing on? All I hear is crickets. NO ONE has seen this yet????
  19. Anyone seen it yet? I haven't seen any advertisements for it on TV, but it is playing at one of the theaters near the mall.
  20. I can't wait to see it!!
  21. I've found that my minivan is good for lots of people and a little bit of stuff. The last SUV I had was a Ford Explorer that only seats 5, and it was good for less people and a lot of stuff. Unless you are getting one of the huge SUVs, this may help you decide. But my next vehicle will probably be a crossover....kinda the best of both worlds. Good luck...let us know what you decide.
