I can't believe that I am hearing parents considering giving their teens alcohol or agreeing that parties are boring by the time you are 16 if there is no beer. You ARE the parent. You set the standards for your kids. Set standards high. I DO know many teens will mess up and drink, experiment with drugs, etc...but don't just give up and say that's just what they do. Make a big deal out of it. Hold them to high expectations of behavior.

I don't think I will EVER use an Apple product again. I heard all of the raves at how great Apple was and spent WAY too much for laptop a few years ago since their products were so good and customer service was soooo reliable...I had nothing but trouble with that lap-top--keyboard didn't work right out of the box. It was never truly compatible with work computers even though I spent tons on software that was supposed to be able transfer documents back and forth. Every time something happened, I had to travel to Atlanta and wait in huge lines at an Apple store, drop it off, then go back.

There used to be a feed/tackle (?) store in the old building. They put old deer heads on the doors for decoration. A few years ago someone started dressing the heads up for special occasions. It stopped for a while and then started back. Its hilarious. Just for fun.

The likely suspects would be anyone named Ramona in the area It can't be a long list to search.

We opted out of the paper after several attempts and now a year or so later, we are getting it again.

What's this guy's name?

I didn't know that. I know those little ground hog things that are EVERYWHERE were also brought to hunt. I think they are called Nutria and are from South America.

They are everywhere. My dad saw a big one running down the middle of the road in a very populated area in Dallas and it ducked between two houses, disappeared. Kids were playing in the yards. I've heard that it was the interstates that brought them east. They follow the interstates looking for road kill. Until there were bridges across the Mississippi, they could not have made it across to come east.

I saw one crawling around in the daytime, but haven't seen them lighting up, yet. I remember seeing hundreds of them every night when I was a kid. Now, just a few here and there.

Deer hunting isn't free, you have to buy a license Tomatoes, not free, can only water every other day, and if I use much more water, I will get a higher rate I want to buy a few acres in the middle of nowhere, with a lake or stream, well water, away from a large city, with low crime, and get one of those little boxy self-sufficient solar mobile homes. I will pay no utilities except internet :, ok back-up propane tank for heat.

And more than two feet between houses.

Gwinett school holds Cash for Gold Fundraiser

Many Paulding Schools are already doing this. We got several hundred dollars off of old necklaces that had kinks and odds and ends jewelry that would never be worn again. -
A few years ago when the school bond didn't pass (the first time), they threatened to go to this system. This was because we were out of space. Right now Paulding has plenty of space since the new schools opened and the new houses aren't selling, we're just broke. I don't see how split sessions would help unless we closed schools.

You have no idea of the amount and times of meds that are given. Also, you have students with diabetes and other illnesses that need some monitoring. This would take any staff person almost fully away from their duties. It is a full-time job.

My Dad's bill was unusually high. Mine has not yet come.

I don't know the details, but its some type of park/memorial to veterans.

Weird I posted earlier and it disappeared. Oh well. Bickford and Shirley at Distinctive Dentistry are both great. Dr.Lee is, too. I doubt Dr. Lee still does these things, but when I went to him as a kid, he would play practical jokes. He would put several instruments in your mouth and then ask you questions. As you tried to answer he would go on asking as if having a conversation that he could understand. He would also put those large flouride trays in and you would have sit with the drool cup. Then he would swing the door open, he and another kid patient would stand there a

Anyone been to Snow Mountain at Stone Mountain?

I saw that its open Friday. That may be less crowded that Sat or Sun -
Out west, I didn't see this problem as much. Even though it was two lane road, the shoulders were as wide as another lane on each side. A road similar to Buchannan Hwy had a speed limit of 70 mph. If someone came up behind you, you merged over to the shoulder (yes even going 75mph) and let them by. If you came up on grandpa in the farm truck, or anyone, they got over. The only stipulation was that you HAD to wave a thank you at them or you were considered rude. Even on 4 lanes people got the heck out of your way. It was so much more polite.
