I take offense to this entire post, Zoo. I "pulled my self up by my boot straps" and now when I tell anyone my background , I've been told it's because I'm white. However, there was a time in the 80's when the company I worked for was giving monies for continuing ed. I was taking classes at night. I was bypassed for reimbursement but 3 black employees received the money. I was told that the company was working on diversity and I was too stupid to push it further - that was before everyone sued for everything. Now, to the college costs issue.....I have a third cousin who is being rai

We've had flying squirrels - twice. Tried trapping them ourselves.....had to have an exterminator.

West Cobb is building - and, apparently, selling. Fill ins in several subdivisions on Burnt Hickory, Paul Samuel, Stilesboro - several "abandoned" subdivisions starting. Small one on Burnt Hickory near Dominion Christian built out and sold out in 2012.

My link A database of 200 million Electronic Benefit Transfer records from January 2011 to July 2012, obtained by The Post through a Freedom of Information request, showed welfare recipients using their EBT cards to make dozens of cash withdrawals at ATMs inside Hank’s Saloon in Brooklyn; the Blue Door Video porn shop in the East Village; The Anchor, a sleek SoHo lounge; the Patriot Saloon in TriBeCa; and Drinks Galore, a liquor distributor in The Bronx.

If you read the article, it goes on to say what many have expected: Atlanta chef and restaurateur Riccardo Ullio said he was elated when he started learning the details about how the law would affect his business. Ullio, owner of Sotto Sotto, Fritti and Escorpion, said he had worried for months that the requirements of the law would threaten his business. “For me it’s going to be fine,” said Ullio, who joked that he would have to apologize to the president and lawmakers for predicting that the law could ruin his successful business. Ullio and other business owners are discovering that wh

A good friend recommended Katie at Signature Salon & Spa near the Publix at Brookstone at Mars Hill. I had never had as many compliments on my hair until I started using her.

A friend sent me this link. I found it very interesting and informative. Had no idea so many new regulations were passed almost daily. My link

I agree someone needs to be watching, but a desk in the foyer manned - or wo-manned - by an unarmed individual simply makes that individual the first one shot/stabbed.

My link One of them was overseeing the installation of a new security system requiring every visitor to ring the front entrance's doorbell after the doors locked at 9:30 a.m. If they were buzzed into the front office, parents would be asked for photo identification.

I would never write or say those things to someone because as she said, she knows. BUT, we are in a time where our first lady has taken up obese children as her cause, the government is running ads - discussed in this forum - about obese children coming from obese adults, our schools are changing their menus, our employers are starting "healthy living" things - encouraging exercise - restaurants/fast foods are putting calories/fat content on their menus (mandated by the new healthcare law), and one school in florida is making news because they want to have cameras monitor the foods the kids a

You are correct....sometimes it's difficult to understand how what seems like rational, sensible, intelligent people can pass along information I see - ON BOTH SIDES. I listen, research, etc, before passing things along. People are constantly passing along "snippets" of interviews/speeches - just like quoting the bible "at" me - reach the whole chapter - or better yet, the entire book. And, I'm a christian libertarian.......

Thank you!!!

I know there is a good person on here....thanks!

My link Verenice Gutierrez picks up on the subtle language of racism every day. Take the peanut butter sandwich, a seemingly innocent example a teacher used in a lesson last school year. “What about Somali or Hispanic students, who might not eat sandwiches?” says Gutierrez, principal at Harvey Scott K-8 School, a diverse school of 500 students in Northeast Portland’s Cully neighborhood. “Another way would be to say: ‘Americans eat peanut butter and jelly, do you have anything like that?’ Let them tell you. Maybe they eat torta. Or pita.”

My link Ida Davidson of Shrewsbury, Mass., claims that Dr. Helen Carter, a primary care physician at the UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worchester, refused to treat her because she is clinically obese, local television station WCVB-TV reported. "She was telling me that she couldn't care for me because I was over 200 pounds," Davidson told WCVB.

My link “There are plenty of welding jobs available out there, but the average welder is 54 and there aren’t enough young people out there interested in the trade,” said Ryan Blythe, executive director of Georgia Trade School, which will host a ribbon-cutting tonight at 2260 Moon Station Court, Suite 110, in Kennesaw. Welders earn an average of $22 per hour in Georgia, Blythe said. The school will begin offering the 15-week class to students later this month, after it receives its post-secondary license from the state. Classes will be held Monday through Friday, 35 hours per week.

My link Cooper is the second senior to come forward to complain about having cataract surgery without sedation at the hospital on June 25 because of recent OHIP fee cuts. Sharon Phillips, also 65, told the Star recently that her ophthalmologist was quite upset about having to do the operation without sedation and had complained that doctors would stop doing it because it was dangerous. The two women say they were among 14 cataract patients denied sedation that day. They say they were given no advanced warning, but that they did get a topical numbing gel. The combined fee anesthetis
