If you mean the ones attached to the squirrel, the still stay attached to the skin and get thrown in the garbage with the rest of the guts. No different than skinning a rabbit or other small game. If you mean the ones they are trying to eat, they usually don't have any once hit by some #6 from a shotgun.

I usually wait till later in the season to go after them when the wolves are gone (or rather, the squirrels who have them have died). Haven't had a good squirrel casserole in a few years. Paulding Forest has always been a good location for me to hunt them.

All these devices run software that tell it what it can and cannot do, services it can run, etc. So, for example, with the Boxee device people (anyone actually) can write an app for it. So lets say someone write an app, and when it is installed, puts a button on your tv to connect to watch free versions online of the Cosby Show. With Apple TV, it only runs what THEY (Apple) put on it, nothing else is allowed to run on it. Hulu is an example, with Roku you have to do some hacking/coding to get it to work, with Apple TV it won't run, and with Boxee you just download the app for it. You are als

Boxee (www.boxee.tv) has a similar box, no PC needed. The difference between the two is that Roku's software is pretty locked in, while Boxee is open source, and you can add what amounts to apps to it for various shows and things. Boxee is also $199 vs $99 for the Roku. Its a good but more flexible than the Roku box. There's also the Apple TV device, its $99 as well. I personally wouldn't get it due to it being so locked down to what Apple lets you do with it - and I am a bit of an apple fan. Amazon also has free movies if you are a Amazon Prime member, I think you can look at what devices

Personally I'd go with Boxee. If you want to see how it works without buying anything, just install the software on your computer (PC, Mac, Linux - doesn't matter) and try it out. It can do everything the Roku can do, and a bit more. If you have a spare PC, with the correct video and sound outputs you can plug it right to your TV and do the same thing, which is what I did. There's plenty of shows out there to watch, but instead of just turning on your TV and having it there, you have to put a little effort into it. There's video podcasts of every type, some are good, and some not so good.

Anyone can open up an account with USAA, is mostly the insurance and other things that you need to qualify for (military). I'm dropping Wells Fargo as well over this, and going with State Farm, mostly as any agent can assist you with things, and they have home deposit (scan checks) that don't require me to have a load/credit card to use (which USAA does). Since I do nearly everything online I don't need a brick/mortar bank to meet my needs.

Have you been to the Booth Western Museum up in Cartersville ? You've got the Etowah Indian Mounds near there as well. Red Top Mountain is close, and I think they rent cabins there. If you want to go a little further out, there's Savannah and Helen. Cherokee, NC isn't too bad of a drive either.

There was a good special on PBS a while back about the entire event, and included a good bit of info about the entire trial and the media/politics involved with it. I've always felt bad about the whole thing, as one of my own family participated in the lynching (g-g-uncle). My g-grandfather and his friend (as kids) got some of the rope and cut it up into pieces and sold it on the Marietta square for a nickel each. They were told by their uncle to run home and tell the other men of the family that they just hung Leo Frank. The story passed down was that all the men took hold of the rope, that w

You forgot to include the political party you oppose as well.

Surepip nailed it. There's a just a big difference in getting meat from this one particular cow that is raised out in the open in a pasture, vs meat mixed with hundreds of other cows raised in the feedlot conditions mentioned above. Its the same thing with my chicken eggs. Yeah they could get salmonella in the eggs, but me raising only 4 of them myself I think I can take much better care and handling than a factory handling 100K or more of them. But trying to buy local and raise what we can, its just a personal choice for us.

The biggest difference is the quality of the meat. For example, if you go out to a fine restaurant and order a steak, you will probably notice how good it is compared to say, what you cook at home or get at a cheaper place. The steaks (and other meat) taste so much better than anything we could get at a restaurant, so to speak. If you throw in eating veggies from a garden or farmers market, it just blows away anything you would get by "eating out". I grew up eating beef from cattle my grandfather raised. My folks would get a cow every year (Troup Farms in Dallas processed them, but they a

Glad I get a portion of a cow every year from my wife's co-worker who raises a few beef cows a year. I know exactly where my beef comes from, and who the processor is.

I had American try to get a cancellation fee out of me when I dumped them, and I told them there was no way since they wouldn't even bother to come out to pick up my trash. I had them for about 1.5 months, and went 4 weeks in a row having to call them to come pick up my trash, and the final week they didn't even bother coming. I think it took them about 3 weeks before they bothered to come out and pick up their can. I'm with WI now, and they haven't missed anything.

No, didn't go to any over there. Went to a few when they were at the Bells Ferry Park. But that was back when Curtis was seneschal there, then him and Kelly moved up to NC. I know I went to one when Just John got his AOA. I mostly fought rapier then, and likely would have run the thing, as at that time I was the only rapier marshal on this side of town. I am friends with CJ (Artemis) who was rapier marshal there for a bit. Wife and I had lunch with him about a month ago when he came out to buy some honey from me to make mead out of. Actually anxious to see how it turns out with the honey from

Name sounds familiar, but then again I haven't really played in over 10 years. I went to the Douglasville group a few months ago to see some old friends there, but that was about it. Used to be a rapier marshal and was seneschal of Talmere when we lived in Carrollton. We moved away and to be honest I think the politics burned me out more than anything else. It happens sometimes when you get pretty heavily involved in it (or any other activity).

Nice to see another SCA'er here as well. I'm inactive, but went my Ld. Edward de Molay when I played in Meridies in Talmere/Owl's Nest. I've been there, and yeah its pretty cheezy. We only went as my wife's folks had bought tickets for a "family" outing there. I didn't wear my garb when I went. Just get there early to look at the items sitting around in the lobby, or the falcons/hawks/owl's there. Least when I went there was a master falconer there who had an owl and an osprey. If enjoy things like the ren fair and want to get more into it, hook up with the SCA, you will find plenty o

I have a quiet office and listen to a pretty wide variety of stuff off my iPhone. WunderRadio lets me listen to any radio station anywhere, plus I have Spotify which give me more than enough albums to listen to. For me its a mix of metal (Metallica, Slayer, Black Sabbath), classic rock (Led Zepplin, Beatles), old country (Cash, Hank), jazz, bluegrass, or relaxing/world music (Sarah Brightman, Sarah McLaughlin, Lorena McKinnet, native american flute music, etc). Least where I'm at since I have my own office I just play it outloud, and just pause/mute it when someone comes in or I have a pho

Same here.

I haven't had any issue with fleas on my two dogs since we got chickens. I honestly think the fleas are drawn to the body heat of the chickens, and well, they end up as chicken food. I used to have terrible trouble and had to treat them with Frontline. I'm with the rest of you and I think all this treatment has basically made them immune to about everything.. except being eaten.

They did the same thing to me. I switched, they came for about 2-3 weeks and then stopped showing up. I got the same false promises you did, that a manager would come out to see what the problem was, they'd be out the next day, etc. Just stay as far away from American Disposal as you can, they have terrible service. I had to call for four weeks in a row, and the last week I called every day and even told them if this didn't get picked up I would cancel. Still didn't do any good, and I canceled. When I spoked with them they even mentioned charging me a "Cancellation Fee" but didn't since it was

The one in Collinsville, Alabama is a great one to go to as well. Get there early as folks start packing up at around noon, but least the 1 hour time difference lets you gain an hour on them. You can pretty much get anything there, from clothing to a mule.

Its great, its like lettuce with a kick. If you like pepper or some spice in your salads or sandwich (or anything else using lettuce) its awesome.

I worked at GreyStone obout 19 years ago and remember a huge outage caused by a squirrel getting into the fuses on one of the large powerline feeds coming in from Oglethorpe into a substation. The fuses were pretty shiny and I guess he thought it was interesting. The largest problem was that between GreyStone, GA Power and Oglethorpe they couldn't figure out whose mess it was to clean up.

This may sound crazy, but chickens work pretty good for getting rid of all kinds of yard bugs. Even if they are in a pen, they eat anything that comes within range that wiggles, crawls, or moves.

I lived (or as Lewis Grizzard put it, was held prisoner) outside Chicago for a year. I have no desire to go back up north and deal with the snow and cold. When you are still shoveling snow in April and freezing your butt off, it gets old real fast.
