  1. Every year I dry peeled tomato slices in a dehydrator and store them in vacuum bags. Throughout the winter I break them up and throw them into sauces and soups and such and they're delicious. They rehydrate in the liquids but still retain some texture and extreme flavor. Wonderful in plain tomato soup.
  2. You do realize that you're a racist now, don't you?
  3. Please, please, please don't take this the wrong way, but I've read through this topic and I'm afraid that I keep getting an old and familiar feeling that's going to hurt your feelings. I find a lot references to YOU. YOU have health problems that take up all the extra money. YOU have back problems and YOU have to have a nerve block on Wednesday so YOU may not be able to even get back on the computer soon. He took care of YOU when you had back surgery and couldn't walk. He got into a band but couldn't continue because of anger, not with them, but with YOU. He wants someone to love and who will
  4. I really know nothing about this project, and that's one of the things that bothers me. I'm a taxpayer here and I didn't and still don't really know anything about it. Just how much is this facility going to provide? Is it just going to be a big empty building that can be used for something else if it doesn't attract the film industry, like we keep hearing in it's defense, or will it include some of the equipment needed for movie and television production? I have designed and installed video production studios and film, video, and data presentation facilities for industrial, financial, and edu
  5. Looks like the tuner in this thing is analog and I don't know how many, or even if any, analog channels are still carried on cable. If there are some, you could watch and change channels for them on your remote TV, but only the analog ones. It says you can watch digital channels also but that's done by connecting an audio and video output from your cable box to this thing and then you can watch whatever digital channel your cable box is tuned to on the remote TV, but it won't be high-def because this only takes a composite video input and you'd have to change the channel back on the cable box.
  6. OK, so let's just eliminate the requirement for everybody to buy healthcare, and if you happen to have a heart attack in the middle of WalMart and don't have the insurance then they can just scoop you out into the parking lot and you lay there and die. Seems the same as saying that you don't have to have car insurance 'cause you don't drive.
  7. Has anybody looked up Roadtown Enterprises, Ltd., the company (which looks like only two persons, and one's wife) who is doing the "consulting" for this new studio, on the net. It appears that the chief honcho was with Pacifica Mesa Studios, LLC, who developed Albuquerque Studios in New Mexico a few years back, is the CEO of this company. Albuquerque Studios now seems to be in bankruptcy with lawsuits pending against PMS. Quote from the Daily Bankruptcy Review: "The owner of New Mexico’s biggest film studio followed its recent bankruptcy filing with a lawsuit against its junior lenders, a
  8. Had to add this...If your dog JUST killed a rat there shouldn't be any smell at all. Now if your dog found a rat that had been dead for a while, which mine sometimes do, it's a different story. Glad the mouthwash worked!
  9. Many years ago my Grandmother was buried at Mt. Zion cemetary and one of her neices had sent a very nice artificial flower arrangement which she was proud of and said she hoped would stay pretty on her beloved aunts grave for a long time. It really was very nice, not what you would think of as cheap cemetary flowers. When I went back later to clean up the dead real flowers and wreaths, guess what? It's really sad to think that people will actually do this!
  10. How were the taxpayers mislead? I'm a taxpayer and I don't remember ever being asked! In fact, I didn't even know about it until I saw on the news.
  11. I'm not familiar at all with Uverse equipment and didn't know that it was 12-volt and not 120-volt. Does it have a box that plugs into the wall and then a cord that runs up to the unit itself. If so, it may be 12-volt. Anyway, you just multiply Volts times Amps and that gives you Watts. 12 volts times 2.9 amps is 34.8 Watts. Multiply that by the number of hours that it is on and you get Watthours, (744 hours in a 31-day month times 34.8 watts is 25,891 watthours). Now divide that by 1,000 to get kilowatthours and you get 25.891 kWh - or let's say 26 kWh. Now multiply that by what your power co
  12. When I first heard that a movie studio and TV production facility was being built here, I have to admit that I was excited. But now, am I correct in understanding that Paulding County and we the taxpayers are building this in HOPES of attracting production companies to come rent it? Do we have any committments for it's use yet or do we just have stars in our eyes because a couple of scenes for movies have been shot here recently? Can somebody clear this up for me?
  13. Look at the label on the back of your DVR to see how many Watts or Amps it uses. My tivo draws 1 Amp, that's about 117 Watts. Multiply that by 24 hours in a day and you get 2808 Watt-hours, or 2.8 Kilowatt hours. The highest tier that I pay to Greystone power is 7.4 cents per kWh, so my tivo costs me about 21 cents a day to operate, or $6.42 a month. I'm not sure what my DirecTV DVRs draw but I'm going to look at them soon. I have a feeling that they probably draw more because they generate a lot of heat also. I started out here to prove that a DVR is not all that expensive to operate but now
  14. Tain't no poison! Iffin you makes it yerself, hit makes fer some fine dranking!
  15. Why?? Somebody tell me why we are in Afganistan spending trillions of dollars and sacraficing our young men!
  16. If this is true, watch how quickly it will disappear from the public view. I remember a news story back in the 70's about a professor at Stanford who had developed a process to refine silicon to the purity required for solar cells that would reduce the price from $75 a kilogram to about $5 for the same amount. (I may be wrong about the exact figures, but it was some astronomically lower price.) We never heard about it again. Funny how silicon is the most abundent element on the Earth and is capable of turning sunlight directly into electricity, but the cost of photovoltaic cells is still so un
  17. Thanks, I see now. The "<" symbol in front of it threw me. That's a pretty new movie. Anybody know what it costs to get the Public Performance License for a movie like this? I've thought about having some free movie parties in my neighborhood but you have to have a license to do it legally.
  18. I've seen that sign and can't figure out what the first word on it means. Looks like "<RIO" to me. Anybody know what this is?
  19. I take Metoprolol also and get a 90-day prescription from Ingles for $6.00. Lisinopril is the only other prescription I take and it is the same, 6-bucks! I used to have the cheapest Medicare part D plan I could get for which they deducted over $30 a month, and it usually didn't even cover the other occasional prescriptions I might need once a year or so (paid over $75 for a little bottle of eyedrops once). I dropped Part-D and will take my chances if something catastrophic happens.
  20. I just went to Walmart store #3403, Highway 120, Dallas, Ga. to purchase a pressure cooker. After not finding them, I asked an associate where they might be and he directed me to the canning supplies where there was a large pressure canner but no small cookers. Not willing to believe that there weren't regular cookers in the store, I searched the isles more carefully and finally did find what I was looking for. There were two boxes of the Wearever 6 quart pressure cookers and I put one in my cart. Partway to checkout I decided to look in the box because it had felt somewhat light for a utensil
  21. There's a lot of debate about clipping your longhair dogs in the summer. Since dogs don't sweat but instead cool themselves from the inside out by panting, it's possible that their coats actually insulate them from the heat, like a styrofoam cooler works. I actually don't know what to believe. Does anybody have any factual advice?
  22. Hey, that's a great idea! You could set it outside for anything you're cooking. Even though a crock pot doesn't generate a whole lot of heat, every little bit helps. Way it's been lately, you could probably set it in the sun and not even have to plug it in! Just kidding!
  23. From the online Merriam-Webster: Definition of BRIO : enthusiastic vigor : vivacity, verve And I'm guessing that the 61 is for Highway 61. So it may be a logo for a gang here on Hwy. 61. The main part of the trailer park seems to be dwindling away but there used to be a lot of trailers that can't be seen from the highway, down the road beside the park, behind the abandoned trailer that was spray painted, where the county's dumpsters were a long time ago. I haven't been down there in years but I've heard it referred to by some of the residents of the park as "the crack hole". Might be
  24. I live very near where this happened and I for one, am not going to put up with gangs forming in Paulding. Let's form a gang of our own and make some signs for our homes and neighborhoods; "This is an ACTING Neighborhood!", or "This is an ACTING Residence!". Armed Citizens Targeting Intruding Neighborhood Gangs. Maybe if we show that we're not going to allow this to happen and are willing to take measures to stop it, we can curb it before it gets out of hand.
  25. Did you notice that I also said "SCANS". But no, that's an invasion of our privicy too. Personally I think that crashing into a building or the ground at 600 MPH is more of an invasion of my privicy than a blurry xray of my a$$. Isn't that what I just said? If you can't deal with it, then don't fly. What is your solution to the problem?
