It wasn't on there when I looked yesterday late afternoon, but it was still closed at Florence Road. You can go as far as Florence, then take a left - you will hit 278. It may be open today, but I am not sure. What time do you go through their in the am? The traffic back up on the road drives me nuts in the mornings - this is around 7:15ish. I do go home that way though.

1novella - you and your family are in my prayers. I am so sorry this happened. Pay no mind to those giving you a hard time. This is exactly what FEMA is for.

Try Big Lots. They can be hit and miss, though.

Yep! I have never had a huge problem, but I have always had to watch calories. My best friend on the other hand struggled with her weight her whole life. She went from 225lbs to now 150lbs - all muscle. She is a personal trainer now! She looks and feels great, and the Chattanooga paper just did a story on her and her weight loss: http://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2009/sep/17/0917-eating/ I am so proud of her, so I thought I'd share. But she is a perfect example of getting into healthy habits for long term weight loss. ETA: in the article she is Jill.

That's a good idea. My husband and I do this for soldiers & veterans. Be it a cup of coffee, a meal, or a beer, we try to thank them when we are able to.

Buffalo Wild Wings is open in Hiram. That's all that I know of for sure.

Does anyone know if this is still the case? I avoided it this morning again. I was very, very late to work though due to the traffic on Macland once I got past the Kroger headed toward Powder Springs Rd. I would like to NOT go this way anymore

Thanks, G. Wolf

I gave you a star bump, G. Wolf. You are at 4.

They certainly do. They suprise me all the time. I had a teacher tell me once that what seperates us from the animals is our ability to decide, or reason. I think of that often when I watch my two dogs.... I just cannot believe that.

Yes! I have an old guy - he just turned 15 - that is a mini daschund. The younger one is two, and we adopted him. I love them both so, so much. The younger one, Charlie, has been doing this with the older one (Hunter) for the past couple of weeks. It is so strange. He used to try and play and rough house him, but not anymore. I actually caught Charlie (60lbs) snuggled up to Hunter (10lbs) and licking his eyes. Hunter's eyes get irritated and they get gunked up at times and it bothers him. Charlie was actually cleaning it for him while he patiently waited. It was the sweetest thing I have ever

Thanks for sharing! I am glad you had a great time up there. My little bro belongs to a grotto up there and they go to those caves a lot. He loves it! I, on the other hand, am too skeered - spiders and tight, small spaces are not my thing!

that's funny. It took me about a minute to get it, though

Oh! Makes perfect sense. Thank you!

I am curious - what is the deal with Halloween on pcom? I have seent this pop up in a couple of threads.... just wondering. I wasn't on here last fall. ETA: Sorry for the hijack.

yummm.. that sounds so good right now! My stomach just growled. I have no idea what we are having yet. I guess turkey sandwiches.

You're lucky you left so early. My hubby works over there in the office park. It took him forever!

Some how I managed to get to work in 1 hour 5 minutes. My husband, who went the same way as me, got to work in 2 hours and 45 minutes! He is so, so, so irritated. I have a feeling that this will be going on for a while.

The wing place in Hiram was serving only soft drinks from 2 liters, no ice, and bottled water. They were using gallon water from Kroger for food prep. Since our air conditioner was broken it was too hot to cook at home.

That is terrible. I am glad I came through when I did. I was heading toward Richard D. Sailors from Hiram but turned left on FLorence to get to Macland. It was backed pretty bad then, but nothing like this. Geez. I hope it isn't like this tomorrow.

It may be too late now, but 278 is open. Richard D. Sailors/Powder Springs Rd. is closed at some point before E/W Connector from what I understand. So, to get to work I took a left on Florence, right on Macland (it is closed beyond Florence) all the way to Powder Springs Rd. You can go this way, but take a right on Barrett Pwky which will turn into E/W Connector.

Gone? Geez. Thanks for letting me know, before I head that way and get stuck.

Anyone know anything about Macland Rd? All the way from Powder Springs Rd. to 120?

Was that you?

I thought this was funny and wanted to share. With all of the bad stuff going on right now I just needed a laugh. A man goes to a grocery store. While he is there, he buys: bread cheese and milk. So as he is checking out, getting ready to pay, the cashier says: "Hey, you're single, aren't you?" The man is astonished. "Wow, that's incredible. How did you know that?" "You're ugly."
