  1. Moby In The Morning plays this every Monday. He used to be in Kicks 101.5 then went to South 107.1 but they switched frequencies to 93.5. He also does the Scotsman song on Friday mornings.
  2. Careful, that could end up on common core! LOL
  3. My phone won't alert when I have a text message while in my car and connected to the bluetooth. It's good that you're not tempted to read that text because you don't know it's there. People can be distracted by anything. I was in front of this idiot driving and eating a bowl of cereal--bowl in one hand, spoon in the other, edge of one palm on steering wheel--and she'd even drink the milk from the bowl! She was swerving and riding my rear and slowing down. I had to slow down suddenly (darn squirrel in the road ) and she laid on her horn and flipped me off with her spoon hand. When she go
  4. I've heard of unschooling before and had the same questions you did--how are they learning anything, and how can they get into college or even apply for a job? Maybe they get their GED? If I had to let my 12-year-old learn by observing, he'd be an expert on Minecraft and baseball. Kids need structure. I knew someone who homeschooled but did it all wrong. She'd get her middle schooler up, he'd make breakfast, do his classwork on the computer around 8:30 and be done by 10:00. Mom would run errands and take him sometimes but usually he had to watch his 4 younger siblings. There was nothing
  5. It's not allowed as your driver's license number, as your health insurance ID number, or your school student ID number, and most places have moved away from having your last 4 digits be your employee clock in number. I'm surprised it's still allowed for Medicare ID numbers. Seniors can so easily be targeted and since they're not likely to make big purchases (buying houses and cars as frequently as younger people), they're most likely checking their credit reports on a regular basis.
  6. I saw your guy, cmorg, wearing his accessory at the McDonald's on Macland Rd. It was kinda unsettling seeing a grown man with no kids walk into Mickey D's sporting a sidearm. My oldest son saw it, and lacking complete filter between brain and mouth, was asking me if he was a bad guy and was going to rob the place. I tried to play it off that he may be a cop or undercover--I didn't want to antoganize the guy because we were right behind him and he could hear us!
  7. He asked her for sex almost every day for over a month and is surprised when she kept rejecting him? I'd be annoyed if someone was bugging me daily. One thing that's kinda odd with the reasons on the spreadsheet is she never said no because she was on her period. That's a guaranteed "no way" in this house!
  8. It'd be counterproductive for me to own one. I enjoy their food too much!
  9. Awwww, poor little convicted double murderer didn't die instantly, peacefully, in his sleep? No, he had time to smile at his victim's family as he lay on the table, boo-hoo. An eye for an eye would be good for death row, kill them the same way they killed their victims; same with rapists, do the same thing they did to their victims. Remember that guy in California a few years back? He was suing the state to provide anesthesia so he wouldn't feel the needle they used for his lethal injection because he doesn't like needles. Um, no, should have thought about that before you killed somebody!
  10. Is the Good Samaritan still open in Smyrna? It's a sliding scale based on income, so that might be helpful.
  11. I'll wait for that weekend because we'll actually have the specific supply list, with open house being a Thursday, and the district website's list is useless. Oldest had one teacher require 5 college-ruled composition books, one required wide-ruled notebook paper, one required a ruler with holes that could fit in a binder, and they all required different size binders. And yes, the one that required the college-ruled comp books got mad that we could only find 4 and had one wide-ruled book. I'd rather go when I know exactly what we need. It wasn't too bad last year, as the mob in Target's sc
  12. I wasn't able to hear it, but from reading the description I can only imagine how rude the rep was. And that was their customer retention person, whose job it is to keep customers? Anyway, a telemarketer called our house one evening right as we were sitting down to dinner. Mom answered, listened to their intro and politely declined, told them it was dinner time and she didn't have time to listen. The guy kept hounding her about "what a great deal this is" and she repeatedly said no, thank you; finally she hung up after a loud NO THANK YOU! The phone rang immediately, mom answered (she sti
  13. These are all intentional events, parent knew they left their child. An accidental event can, and does, happen unfortuately. My 2-year-old is virtually silent on the way to daycare. He's content to stare out the window and watch the scenery. Coming home, he's full of talk about his day, but the mornings aren't so lively. I have to sit up to see him in the rearview mirror because the way my seat is positioned and my mirrors are adjusted to see the road. I've started making myself open the rear car door every time I leave the vehicle just to get in the habit of making sure. I agree that t
  14. It actually works for Paulding this year! It's always been weeks after school started, so it's nice that we'll have our school supply list (the accurate ones, not the generic county ones that are way off) and be able to save a little money.
  15. Um, she doesn't sound much better with AutoTune. I've said from day 1 that if she didn't make her first video the way she did (school girl uniform, shirt tied up) that she wouldn't have had a career. I'd love to see her audition for The Voice just to see all four judges sit there and not turn around.
  16. I was talking to hubby about this a few weeks ago. Who does get the ticket--the driver doing the speed limit (or even 5 over) in the left lane, or the speeder behind him doing 10 over? Also, if there is a wreck, a rear-end collision, would the slow driver who got hit be at fault, or would the normal situation still apply where the hitting driver gets the ticket?
  17. My favorite TV moments of all time are on her show: the Siamese elephants and the dentist sketch. I wish they would air reruns of her show on TV.
  18. There is a certain fast food establishment close to my parent's house that got their order wrong every time they went through the drive-thru. I went one time and they messed it up big time, so I went inside. The only English-speaking worker was the manager who was running the front counter. They had a Spanish-speaking person working the drive-through!!!! We all quit going to that place because it was too much of a hassle. I wish the US government would make English the official language of our country. I'm tired of having to press 1 when I call any public place.
  19. Haven't had that happen, but I'd also call the Montgomery county tag office and let them know. What has been happening with us, though, is getting a notice that a vehicle we'd traded in would be expired unless we paid our tag bill or filled out the form and mailed it to the tag office stating we didn't own the vehicle anymore. This has happened three times in the past year (we've traded in a car, truck, and motorcycle within a year) and it drives me up the wall. I thought the dealership notified them when a vehicle was traded in but I guess they don't. Yes, we've gotten the new vehicle tag
  20. Yeah, I thought that was kinda weird too. If I'm struck by lightning enough to knock me out of my boots, I'm getting my butt back inside, making sure I'm still in one piece, and getting 911 on the line--not taking a video of my boots.
  21. When my sister was an older teenager, she came in the living room just as that commercial had gone off. She asked mom if she could ask her a question, and mom replied "yes, I feel not-so-fresh." My sister's face got bright red and she fled the room! Mom was just joking but it still embarrassed them both! I can't stand commercials for The Bachelor/The Bachelorette. It's all the same and every single episode is the "most shocking" or "most heartbreaking episode ever!" I'm getting tired of Flo and her Progressive commercials, and Emily and her chair. Of course, I'm also beyond sick of
  22. I can see both sides, as I have a child in that age range and I'm a nurse. I would want to see the written questions the nurse would be asking my child before hand, and I'd have a right to know the answers too. Kids, especially the older teenagers, aren't going to open up with mom or dad in the room. I ask kids 13+ if they smoke and it's always a "NO" but I wonder if it would be different if the parent wasn't in the room at the time. It's like the OB nurse asking if you're being abused or don't feel safe at home--with your husband/partner/boyfriend standing right next to you. The hospital

    Happy birthday! And getting older does beat the alternative! (Not saying that you're old)
