  1. Thank God! Both kids will continue to be in my prayers.
  2. Prayers and love coming to those poor children and their parents. I can't imagine a harder burden for a parent to bear.
  3. You can get $14.95 DSL only with AT&T. That's what we use.
  4. Yep. There is already an electronic record of the emissions. You should be fine.
  5. http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/parents-of-drowned-teen-want-cobb-water-park-close/nFDhC/ Sad that anybody should ever lose a loved one this way. But as someone who had their kids go to SVB until two years ago, I find the 'murky water' allegation a bit far fetched. It may have been that the lifeguards were trained through experience to watch the little kids and not worry so much about the teenagers. Many folks would assume that a teenager who is already in the water knows how to swim.
  6. Go to car-part.com Find a nice transmission. Pay someone $400 to put it on. Problem sovled. Transmissions are bolt on parts. There is nothing mysterious or four-figured cost worthy in installing them.
  7. No, officers from both counties were involved in this one. The manhunt makes sense given the fact that I saw police parked on the side of the road closest to the woods and that other police cars were patrolling at about 10 mph in a very small area.
  8. I wonder whether they are trying to wait for those robbers that hit Bank of America. In all my years of doing business out there I have never seen so many police vehicles simply going back and forth. Hope they find em'.
  9. Yes, yes and yes... One thing I will never understand about metro-Atlanta is the penchant to build illogically expensive buildings, maintain advanced IT systems, and protect throngs of underemployed administrators, in the place of genuine support for the faculty and students. $126 million... for what equates to promoting minimal standards in the curriculm... and fewer instructional resources for those who genuinely need it. Nothing new here folks.
  10. All too true. My wife and I developed innumerable habits in our college years that enabled us to get a house early in life and maintain a low-stress lifestyle. We both worked during school. In my case it was usually two part-time jobs. I can't say I served my country. But I did graduate with honors from a top college and served my parents and siblings by temporarily stepping into the family business when my father fell ill. I lived at home during that time and pretty much saved/invested every dime I got. A year and a half later my father finally got better and he ended up workin
  11. Chinese cuisine is similar to Japanese in the sense that the cheap stuff is rarely good. Plus you end up hungry an hour later.
  12. There is a wonderful restaurant near Emory called Pyng Ho. They have been in business for nearly 40 years. If you really want a special Chinese meal, open your wallet and take the trip. Anything even remotely comparable will either be on some hidden crevice of Buford Highway that i have yet to visit, or somewhere well north of the Mason-Dixon line. What do I know? My family imported food to New York's Chinatown for well over 50 years. I can order more things in Chinese than I can with a fake Southern accent. Good luck!
  13. It negates the advantage of curbstoning as it relates to the avoidance of sales tax. Go down to the corner of 92 and Macland where the Shell station is, and you'll see a Shell gas station with 2 Tauruses and a Sentra advertised for sale along with some 15+ year old car in the opposite corner of the intersection. The lawbreaker who is selling these cars does not collect sales tax. The other dealerships in and around the area, do. Those places will have to collect $300 to $600 in tax and forward those proceeds to the state. With the new law, the buyer alone pays for the tax when
  14. Georgia is one of the last states to exempt private party automotive retail sales from state income taxes. The title tax is done for three reasons... 1) To level the playing field between car dealers and private individuals. On a side note, the title tax also discourages 'curbstoners' who use the current exemption to their advantage when selling their wrecks on street corners and gas stations. 2) To get more money, since 'transactions' are sometimes written as lower than is the actual case on the bill of sale. 3) To get immediate access to those funds. The title tax roug
  15. Now that sounds like a wedding and a half! Congrats!
  16. Pardon my French... but this all really a crock of old ripened cheese. If you haven't read the case, seen the evidence, heard the testimony, and put in the time, then you shouldn't have a flippant opinion about this case one way or the other. There isn't enough information here folks. Criticize. Judge. Levy the penalty or exonerate the non-negligent. Nothing of any real substance has been offered to us. I will say one thing. When I die I want to be surrounded by my family... and hold my wife's hand.
  17. Some folks look at a glass half empty. Others look at it as half full. There are a few of those jaded and disillusioned souls, who will look at that glass and see it as "Bone dry and covered with leeches." They will then kick the glass, spreading shards of death into the direction of their opponents. In the hope that such violent actions will make them right in the eyes of their allies. Numerous cliches and emoticons will ensue. and I just order another beer.... but this time I remember to drink the whole glass.
  18. That man is a national hero. He beat Cynthia McKinney back in 2006. As far as I'm concerned, every county in the United States should have a statue constructed in his honor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Johnson His speech has to do with his health. This is a brief excerpt from Wikipedia regarding it. "In December 2009, Johnson revealed that he had been battling Hepatitis C for over a decade, which resulted in slow speech and a tendency to regularly get "lost in thought in the middle of a discussion".[23] Johnson said that he learned he had the disease in 1998 but does not
  19. (A) new study show(s) Congress talk(s) like 10th graders. You may now go back to your regularly scheduled opinion.
  20. Surepip, count me in as well. Feel free to PM me.
  21. We should delve a bit deeper into the actual criteria of the study (and the folks who oversaw it) instead of playing the all too nasty role of 'gotcha!'. If Georgia has severe corruption issues, then the study may have merit. But pointing the blame for Georgia's corruption on a politician for being in a 'gambling commercial' a decade plus ago strikes me as nasty and ridiculous.
