We just replaced the ceiling fan in the living room with a 60 something inch one and it is MUCH better than the last one we had. We can actually feel a breeze from it!! We got a portable a/c for about a week last month (bet that's another reason our elec bill was high) and it made NO difference. I really think our builder put a much too small unit on our main level, the one WE added when we finished our downstairs is much more powerful! Maybe I should switch them!!

My oldest is almost 9 and has asked for LOTS of these things...I took her to get her nails painted recently but she wants fake nails...NO freakin way! I don't even have then, she sure as heck isn't going to! She also begs for a cell phone but she is always with me so she has no NEED to have one...if she wants to make a call, she can use my phone. She also wants highlights and wants to shave her legs but that all requires way too much maintenance! We were at Justice the other day and she asked for a bra...I told her she doesn't need one b/c she has NO Bewbies I think a lot of parents want

Our house is about 2800 sf. With six people I feel like we are going to bust out of it sometimes! I'd like a smaller house when these high bills come!!

EWWW! I would NEVER let my kids play in that water! I can not imagine....

Mine is high b/c we have 2 a/c units (vaulted ceilings in the living room that are about 15ft high and it is HARD to cool), run the dishwasher at least once a day, the washer & dryer at least once a day, not to mention tvs, radios, oh and about 6 ceiling fans at once (we have 10 total). I am a SAHM with 4 kids (and I refuse to be uncomfortably hot in my own home!) so there is a lot of electricity running!

I would LOVE a $300 electric bill!! Our's was $416...wanna trade?

A couple of weeks ago I was watching the news (can't remember which network but I think it was local). There was a report from TX and it said a few tar balls had washed ashore but they were NOT from the BP leak! How do they know whether or not it is from a particular leak? Makes you wonder how many other smaller leaks are out there.

A day or two after I posted I started seeing signs! I guess this thread can get closed! Maybe I'll see some pcommers at the rodeos....

Thanks, Summerville isn't too far!

Thank you!

My family LOVES to go to the rodeo. Last year we went to the Rockmart & Paulding rodeos. I haven't seen any signs with dates on them lately and was wondering if anyone knows when they are. TIA!

This is Classic Nails by Kroger @ 278 & 61. They do a great job and have awesome pedi chairs!!

Dr Loventhal was my fav, we were sad when he left. Denise is AWESOME! We saw her at our previous ped in Cartersville and were thrilled when she came to Cobb Peds! Drs Gaines, Cantrell, Van Putten & Roberts are all wonderful. The office staff at Cobb Peds (it's not West Cobb) is great, too!

I live in VL and will ask around to see if anyone found it here.

I just got home from the ultrasound, it is SO amazing that they can tell what each organ is! I had an AMAZING u/s tech at Paulding Imaging Center. She has worked in radiology for years and went back to school after she had her 5th child for sonography! Made me realize that if she can go back to school with 5, I can go back with 4!! Anyway, I may not have any results until Monday. My pain is increasing, I have lost 6lbs and can hardly eat anything. I have a feeling it may be my gall bladder. I will post when I find out something.

I think once she fills out the fafsa (the school may be able to help her, she just needs last year's tax return) they will tell her exactly what aid she qualifies for. There are grants available as well as different types of loans.

It wasn't bad to start out, just enough to get my attention! Now it is more frequent and more painful. I can't put it off any longer...

I hope your recovery has gone well!! I have a LOT of lower back pain but I attribute it to all of the epidurals & spinal blocks I've had (4 kids but the last 2 they had a heck of a time getting the needle in the right spot...8 ATTEMPTS on my last!) Thanks for the well wishes.

I think there is a downside to having an RN neighbor! It's been going on a lot longer than a virus would (several weeks) but I am just now doing something about it....I am a procrastinator when it comes to doctors!!

Thanks for the info and I am sorry you went thru all of that! I am having pain on my right side that comes & goes, nausea (no vomiting) and no appetite (which may be from other stress I am dealing with). I just heard back form my dr's office and I am going at 4.

I am impatiently waiting for my doctor's office to call me back regarding pain that I am having on my right side. My neighbor is an RN and said it could either be my appendix or my gallbladder. I am not sensitive to spicy things and am not having typical gall bladder symptoms. I am just wondering if any of you have had appendicitis and what symptoms you had. TIA!

That gets me, too!! Oh, another grammar pet peeve is something that my in-laws say to my kids "nana & papa loveS you" If you change the "nana & papa" to "we" that would be the equvalent of saying "we loveS you"....I also don't like it when people say "that's mineS" Can you tell most of my pet peeves are grammar related!?! I literally correct people in my mind when they are speaking to me! I can't help it

I just saw someone post this on FB so it reminded me. I can not stand it when people say "must of" or "would of" or "should of" (ex: "You must of know I was thinking about you" or "You would of been so proud of my kids, you should of seen them". It's must HAVE or would HAVE or should HAVE!!

It is cute and I could probably do it if it were just me. I don't know if I would want my toilet next to where I cook, though!

I guess the machines have changed. Years ago I drove away and forgot to grab my card and FREAKED out half way home! I called the bank and they said that after 10 or 15 seconds the machine will re-insert the card on it's own. Unfortunately, I had to order a new card b/c they told me it could not be given back to me out of the ATM...It was a whole lot better than having someone steal it! I hope the person that lost the card sees this!
