  1. My complaint is the stores never have what you need and you still have to go home and order online. I have got to the point I just order it and it shows up at the front door. Much easier then fighting the traffic and listening to the poor store person trying to explain that he can order it for you.
  2. Please don't kill the ladybugs. They are a useful bug and yes they swarm this time of the year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladybug There are boxes you can build or buy, just google lasybug boxes. There are several ways to either keep them out or to catch them and release. http://www.ladybuglady.com/infestation.htm They used to get it my radio equipment that stayed outside 24/7. I just left them alone till summer then let them out. They are looking for a warm spot.
  3. I have been against it ever since they first tried this in the early 80's. We stopped it then, that is why they built it with out any approval of the people this time. I would place a bet that the only people that will benefit is the higher up's in Paulding govt. The next possible thing is when it goes under Atlanta will buy it out since they own all the land around it on both side of the road and else where. That would let them do what they wanted in the first place. The people need to get together and hire a private investigator to check out the county politicians that are involved
  4. Most of the homes were here along with a school. As far as I know no new homes have been built since Bush and his buddy's broke the country.
  5. You will never get the answers to these questions. The powers that be will not let you!
  6. Why are you so insisting on this? How much is someone paying you to fight what the people of this county don't want?
  7. Just looked at my pile of scrap laptops and I don't have one of those. I did look on ebay and they go for under $100 working. There are several parts one on there. He is right it could be the cable between the motherboard and the monitor, but it also could be the video section of the mother board. I would just buy another one just like it and swap my hard drive into it. Would be cheaper then buying a new laptop and you would have everything just like it was. If you buy a new one it will have windows 8 which is bad.
  8. Make and model? I might have one as I do some laptop repairs.
  9. Laptop, or desktop, or older crt?
  10. I hope they put a large manufacturing site with a lot of traffic and a lot of pollution and waste and noise right next to where you live. Then tell me how you like it. I moved here over 30 years ago to get away from that kind of mess. Try driving down 278 in Hiram in rush hour or even just normal times. I go to Rockmart now so I don't have to go to Hiram.
  11. 1. What makes you think that propeller will hire anyone from Paulding county? I doubt if there is anything in the contract that says they have to hire locally. 2. If you think the people that are living on food stamps and hand outs are going to land a job servicing jets or doing anything technical at the airport, you need to wake up and smell the roses. If we had put the amount of money that went to the airport project in schools some of these people could have jobs. 3. Just how quick do you think there will be jobs? There is a airport in Cartersville, and I haven't seen an
  12. We have bought 3 of the cree bulbs from home depot and so far they look good. Brighter then the stupid screw in fluorescent bulbs that I replaced. The problem with the fluorescent bulbs is they don't last. When they first came out they were supposed to last, but the electronics in them use parts from china and their parts are known for not lasting. Problem is they can't make them here because of the mercury, even though it still goes in the trash here.
  13. Tell me how many jobs the movie place the county put in with out anyone knowing until it was done, has created. If people wanted jobs they should have stayed in Atlanta and not came here to make problems for the rest of us.
  14. VOTE EVERY ONE OF THE A HOLES OUT! If it was up to me the airport would be gone. No one wanted this crap, but it has been forced on us by the powers that be. What we need to do is everyone call the Atlanta mayors office and tell them how bad we don't want this forced on us without any vote or anything. We stopped this the last time they tried to build a airport that is why the did this with out the public knowing.
  15. I went in the douglasville store when they had their "markdown". Everything had been marked up first. I didn't find anything that was as cheap as the Walmart normal price. The Hiram store might as well close as I haven't found anything I went in for in years. I quit going when they never had anything that was in the sale flyer that was in the Atlanta paper back when there was a paper. That tells you how long it has been.
  16. That would be a transformer and yes they can hum if they have loose lamination's. They have layers of thin metal (lamination's) inside that the wire is wrapped around. If they are loose the magnetic field causes them to hum or buss.
  17. Believe me it is loud. They are out here today and it is like living near a military base.
  18. I live near the airport, and this s cks. We voted out a airport several times in the past 30 years that I've been in Paulding. Right now I am hearing what sounds like military jets here and they are very loud. First who is paying for the fuel for the mititary jets with the govt shut down? I think we should get together like we did last time and protest to the right people, even though I know the county will do what they damn well please. The people have no choice in what goes on anymore.
  19. I looked on ebay to see if my Nikon was worth anything. $7-$10. I did use the lens on my newer Nikon. The lens might be worth something. Look on ebay at sold items.
  20. I've got to agree with Pubby. I am still using older desktops and even though I have laptops I don't use them except when I need portable. Also I would never use the cloud. Not only can you be snooped on what happens if it goes away. The best way is to buy a external hard drive and do back\up often. Also I hate windows 8 so I am still using xp pro.
  21. How to tell the difference. honey bee vs yellow jacket
  22. If it is the old crt type tv throw it in the trash and buy a new one. Cost more to fix then it is worth. CRT type tv's are selling for $20 or less at goodwill.
