I didn't get an allowance as a kid. Chores are part of being involved in an active household. It's what is expected. They have to learn that now. Income was from extra things: babysitting, lawns mowed, etc. I liked the method my brother & sister-in-law used to teach my nieces how to budget. If they got money for a gift or babysitting, etc., it was broken down into dollar bills and quarters. Then divided among glass jars on a shelf in their bedroom. Each was labeled: 1- Tithe, 2- Savings, 3- Family, 4- Fun. This way they automatically learned that ten percent went back in

I would always give any over-change back. To do otherwise is STEALING! Best one I did was the day I cashed a check so I could pay for a horse blanket I bought off a Craig's List ad. Just before I met up with the seller, I counted the cash to be sure I had it right. Counted it 3 times and had $100 too much. Set it aside, paid for the blankets and high-tailed it back to the bank. Even tho they were technically closed, I still drove up to the drive-thru window cuz I saw it was the same teller there counting out her drawer to close the day. She gets on the speaker "Oh sorry, we're closed

Yes, it's a bug in assorted variations on a theme: starts with sore throat, then congested sinuses, low-grade fever, body aches. Then goes to cough/chest, some have HUGE sinus infection issues with massive headache. Lasts a week. Cough 2 weeks. Ask me how I know

Very pleased with Waste Industries. Quarterly billing. No service issues.

Yes, once you've had a stone, it's good to drink water with lemon in it every day--multiple times a day. It keeps the urine acidified. This is assuming the stones are calcium based.

Oh I'm so glad to hear this. Was just thinking "Gee, I wonder how much came in through the mail box donations?"

It doesn't stop the pain but it helps dissolve the stone and move it out. Seriously, you have to catch it at the first twinge of That pain that you KNOW means a stone: Drink an entire 2-liter Coca-Cola as quickly as humanly possible... regular, not diet. Coke only, not Pepsi or any other cola. After consuming the Coca-Cola, eat a pound of fresh, steamed asparagus. The acid level in the coke dissolves the stone. The natural direutic properties of the asparagus will have you peeing like a racehorse.

Oh they must have changed their policy then. That's too bad. No Scottie... Quality Chef is down Hwy 61 south of 278..

I'd sooner give birth to five more babies than have another kidney stone. Now, the nano-second I feel "that" twinge and know one is in the works, I do the Coca-Cola & Asparagus routine... no more stone

Quality Chef, in the soon-to-be Food Depot (formerly Food Lion, formerly Save-Rite, formerly Winn Dixie) shopping center (intersection of Hwy 61 and Scoggins/Hiram Sudie) does deliver. VERY good food.

Goats are God's escape artists. They're fun to have around, but truly: you need very good fencing with small holes and a TIGHT line of barbed wire at ground level to deter them from shimmying under it. As far as them being in sub-divisions, as long as ordinance okee-dokee's it, it's not a big deal as long as they are properly contained behind their fencing BUT!!!!... I can only pray that said goat owners are properly deworming their goats. Goats are very prone to Lung Worm and it is a horrible, horrible way for a goat to die. Totally preventable, but many people just don't know eno

I don't know if that was necessarily a premonition but rather a woman who clearly recognized that death can come at any time, without warning and she wanted to be prepared, wanted to leave nothing unsaid and to pass on a legacy to her daughter. Kinda like Erma Bombeck...: --Written by Erma Bombeck after she found out she was dying from cancer--I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren't there for the day. I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage. I would have ta

Thanks for this link! How nice to see decent, and most importantly, modest swimsuits at reasonable prices.!!

Even if your son won't go, please look into Hope Quest http://hqmg.org/ - They offer EXCELLENT support for the family of the addict so you can heal & learn how to love but not enable.

Oh I'm not denying that the abuse occurred. They should be held accountable. I'm just skeptical of the source.

I, too, am VERY leary of anything from HSUS. Do your homework - wink wink.

Oh and let's not forget Fresh Air BBQ Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm -
www.sunkissedacres.org - is a 501©3 registered non-profit horse rescue & retirement farm in Trion, just north of Summerville GA. I am honored to sit on the board of directors. The owner, Lori Rosser, is a horsewoman to the core but she runs the farm alone. She always needs helping hands for fencing, brush/tree removal, etc. etc. etc.

Ditto LisaC Hate speech is still speech and it's still free under our Constitution. You don't have to like it... frankly, I don't know of any but a mere handful that "like" it but regardless: It's still speech and it's still free.

Just pull in and come down by the pavillion/big tree... gravel parking lot is on the right and you can start the trail there. Or park just to the left of the entrance and start there
