  1. Thanks, we like it here as well, it is pretty quiet and folks seem pretty friendly.
  2. I thought it was a great prank. My wife and I were watching TV and heard the chainsaw fire up and a bunch of kids scream, cracked us up. I know our neighbor threw a pretty good size party Saturday night, had a bunch of cars in th cul-de-sack and a busted pumpkin in their front yard. Didn't disturb us any, thats all I really care about. We've been in the S/D about 3-4 years and don't know anyone, just tend to keep to ourselves. I'm sure there's a few busy-bodies that think they are in charge, perhaps they need to move to an S/D with a homeowner's association:) Probably the same ones that did a
  3. We had our "lights off" in Mill Pointe S/D and still had one group come knocking. I'd have thought the lack of decorations and no lights on would have given them a clue. We did enjoy hearing one of our neighbors scare kids by coming out with a chainsaw running (sure he didn't have the chain on it).
  4. My wife Elizabeth works for Ansco in Marietta, did work at the Lithia Springs office for a bit.
  5. I just looked at mine, and my wife and I spend alot of time on the net, watch Netflix and video podcasts, play online games, etc. I'm still well under the cap even with what I use. July - 98 gb. August - 165 gb. Sept - 106 gb.
  6. Dated for about 6 months before we got married, but were talking marriage after a week. My wife tells me when she met me, she told her friends and parents that I was the fellow she was going to marry. Be married 15 years in December. No kids, we found out few years ago that both of us are "broke", so the odds of having anything naturally are about one in a billion. But we are content with that and the hand God dealt us.

    Robbed

    A .45 would work better - they tend to not get up from that on a permanent basis.
  9. Check with Arrow as well. But I'm a bit biased as my father in law has worked there since he was a teenager.
  10. You can watch it pretty much anywhere, and if you travel it will play on a laptop or other device (WII, iPhone, etc). Plus you get DVDs in the mail as well for anything else. I've been running Netflix hooked via a spare computer to my big screen, Boxee (free TV app for PC/Mac/Linux) and a digital antenna. So much cheaper than the satellite company we were using. I do use Comcast for my internet provider, but thats about it.
  11. I've got 5 hens that keep me covered up in more eggs than I can eat, I end up giving over half of them to family and co-workers. They lay about 13 eggs every 3 days on average, which is way more than my wife and I can eat.
  12. I really dislike it and turned it off once I saw the option. Pretty annoying.
  13. Both these clowns were convicted today. The robber got 20 years with no parole in addition to violating parole, so he's headed back to NY to serve 12 years for his other robberies, then to serve the other 20 once that is done with here. The driver will be sentenced next week for theft by taking.
  14. Reminds me of when I got a firearms/CCW permit in Indiana. They wanted to know my ethnicity, so I told them "caucasian". No they replied, that's your race - where is your family from ? So I said "American". Well, you can't be that they said - are you polish, german, etc ? So I told them english, my family came over to North America in 1501 and I'm a mix of english, scottish, irish and cherokee. Most of us here in the South are mutts of some sort. I thought that was the craziest thing I'd ever heard of, sure wouldn't help in ID'ing me in any form, as my southern accent is about as far from a en
  15. I'd get a good antenna. Rabbit ears least for me only pulled in a little bit, was much better once I got an outside antenna. If you have good internet access, go visit boxee.tv, maybe sign up for Netflix.. There are plenty of shows online that are good, but aren't on cable. Just a matter of adjusting your viewing habits a bit.
  16. If its your diet, start looking at eating more naturally. Stick with organic products or locally grown. Avoid all fast food, preprocessed/boxed foods. Stay clear of artificial sweetners, high fructose corn syrup products (which is in everything), and most "fake" foods. My wife was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and earlier in the year we started eating better. Things such as grass fed beef from a local farmer, organic milk, locally grown fruit and veggies, no colas or fast food. Both of us have high blood pressure, and since then we've lost about 40lbs each, and her diabetes A1C levels are now

    Oprah

    She should ask him how Xenu is doing.
  18. Understand that. I stopped playing when I was taking online classes. I raid on occasion, and I've been down the road of hardcore/progression raiding in the past. It was fun for a bit, but got to where it became another job I went to in the evenings. I do bounce around games though, so when my wife and I get bored with one we will bounce to another one, play it for a few months then change. Usually it goes in a circle between WOW, Eve and EQ2. I've got a lifetime subscription (now going F2P) to LOTRO and I have some lowbie toons in DDO I play sometimes, along with the occasional fun runs on som
  19. That's the reason I play Horde (alea iacta est) on Earthen Ring. I've played both sides and the difference is amazing. Alliance does the same thing every time by trying to capture Sunken Ring, its the only thing they care about. In the meantime, the Horde goes around, destroys the towers and captures everything else while a small group swaps Sunken Ring back and forth. Eventually the Horde just pushes the Alliance back to their graveyard and farms kills till the timer wears off.
  20. Its just too expensive for even a day to go, and way too crowded. They really need to move it to another venue like the Georgia World Congress Center.
  21. I do, but I also play EVE and have played Guild Wars, Age of Conan, EQ 2, Tabula Rasa, Star Wars Galaxies, Vanguard, LOTRO, DDO, Warhammer, Runes of Magic, POTBS, and a few of the freebie asian ones. Its a fun activity my wife and I do as a couple together. I'm working on my 6th 80 right now.

    Cable

    Go to http://www.boxee.tv and download that, and try it on a computer (Win, Mac, Linux). It will interface with Netflix (on the windows version only). It is a nice, free interface for hooking a PC to a TV and putting much of the internet links to shows/videos right on your screen. Plus with running a PC you have access to Amazon and iTunes rentals, which can include entire seasons of a TV show - we watched Deadliest Catch that way. For instance, last night we watched some episodes of GardenFork TV (gardening/cooking/diy), Techzilla (computer/tech news), Food Mob (cooking show), The Natural Pri
  23. I wonder if they were leftovers from when seniors would paint things orange, white and blue and put them on the school campus. I think someone did that with a goat one year when I went to high school there.
  24. I keep them healthy and keep their area clean, and try to give them a good life for a chicken. I have a total of 5 hens, and much like having a regular pet, when you only have just a handful its pretty easy to notice when one of them might get sick or have a problem. They aren't packed in a tiny cage with no room to move, in a dark dank chicken house. They live outside where they get fresh air and sunshine, have a nice dry coop to protect them from the elements. They get to walk around and much on grass, bugs, and all my leftover veggie scraps. From what I understand most of the salmonell

    Cable

    I recently dumped our satellite company, mostly due to the crazy cost to just watch TV. Take into consideration both my wife and I are computer geeks, so we have several machines around the house. We hooked up one machine to our big screen HDTV along with an over the air HD antenna. There are about 30-40 channels on the antenna, then with the PC/TV hookup we use Netflix for $14/month. That gives us 2 DVD's at a time, plus all the streaming movies/shows I'd want to watch. We've also rented online movies off both Amazon and iTunes. Boxee.tv is another site that gives you a nice free computer to
