  1. Ken says yes, but it's a fast moving system.Should we call Gov. Deal and make sure he stays up all night?
  2. Dang! I thought you were talking about Joe Tex.
  3. I never dry between my toes, and frankly I've never thought about it. I do go barefoot after my shower, so they have plenty of time to dry.
  4. WoW! Bless your heart!! I'm so glad you're better and finally home. There's nothing better than being home and hopefully you'll get better and better. I had to look up C.Diff. I've never heard of it, but Oh my goodness, how awful. To get that in addition to everything else is just awful. (C.Diff is very dangerous) Prayers for quick healing and feeling better!
  5. I know this was mentioned last week, but there are several area codes involved. I saw this on Yahoo! News and just thought I would post it. Don't return calls from these area codes -- it's a scam! Forbes <br />By Joseph Steinberg <br />1 hour ago<br /> 473 is not the only area code from which this scam has been perpetrated. Beware calls coming in from area codes 809, 284, 649 and 876, which like 473 are international, and are known to have been used for similar scams. Criminals target people simply by calling them. Intended victims receive a call on their ph
  6. I heard on the news propane was double what it normally is. And yes, I think that's price gouging.
  7. <br /><br /><br /> This has been one of the coldest winters we had in a long time with some seriously low temperatures. Our lowest temperature was 3.7 a couple of weeks ago. That's ridiculous! LOL
  8. Woodward Academy in College Park gave their bus drivers $1000 bonus each for their heroic duty last week. Way to Go! And yes, I know Woodward Academy is private, and it won't happen in the public school system, but it would be nice if they could get some kind of bonus. Kudos to ALL of the bus drivers that made it through last week and got all their children delivered safely.
  9. And just to add, Lowe's and Home Depot have the large humidifiers. You can get cool mist and warm mist. Ours in the living room is a cool mist and If I had known more at the time, I would have gotten a warm mist. We bought it the first winter we were here and it's still going strong. It has two large tanks.
  10. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> You won't have any static electricity if you run a humidifier. I have a large one in the living room, one the kitchen/dining area, one in my bedroom and one upstairs. And humidity does make the air warmer. That's why it's so dang hot here in the south in the summertime, it's the humidity. (and no, I don't run a humidifier in the summer. We run a DE-humidifier in the basement during the summertime) I remember growing up, my mother and grandmother always had a pot of water on the gas heater to put moisture in the air.
  11. . <br /><br /><br /> Electric heat. We're total electric, a heat pump provides the heat and the air. And believe me, it's cold heat. I've always had gas for heat and had to get used to a heat pump when we moved here. That's why I build a fire so much. It eventually gets warm, but it's also extremely dry heat, so I run humidifiers. It makes the air a little warmer, your skin is not as dry and it cuts down on the static electricity.
  12. <br /><br /><br /> I know, right???? We had to turn on the AC because it was seventysomething in the house last night.
  13. We're expecting it to be sky high because of the extrememly cold weather.
  14. <br /><br /><br /> There are a lot on truckers on Hwy. 61, I've noticed that too. I think they're going up to Cartersville to pick up I-75. And I don't blame them. Who in the world wants to go to Atlanta and use I-285? And I absolutely do think the outer perimeter would have helped and the truckers would have used it. I would use a toll road if I could get somewhere faster.
  15. <br /><br /><br /> From what I've read and heard, there is nothing to watch in 4K and the TV's are incredibly expensive.
  16. The outer perimeter proposed 30 years ago would re-route semi's everyday. But it didn't happen then and it sure won't happen now.
  17. Did you know that very same information was circulated not long after his assignation? I was 13 in 1963 when he was killed. Seems like I was in 9th or 10th grade reading this same thing. It's very interesting facts.
  18. I love Bruno Mars!!! And when he sang "Give it away give it away give it away now" I was wondering how much he had to pay the RHCP to use that line, and then they showed up. Love that song! And I saw shades of James Brown dancing from Bruno Mars, I used to dance like James Brown, I think everybody tried to in the 60's! LOL I enjoyed the half time but nothing beats last year with Beyoncé and Destiny's Child. I think Beyoncé is the hardest working woman in show business. And 2012 with Madonna was one of the most BORING!
  19. I think it was yesterday he said 10-15 days.......and paid membership would be appreciated.
  20. <br /><br /><br /> I don't understand this at all. They've never used Spring Break that I can remember. Wouldn't parents rather use Winter Break than Spring Break? Is it because the last time they used Winter Break so many raised cain about it? I personally would rather lose Winter Break and keep Spring Break.
  21. I got my mail today!! Yippee!
  22. <br /><br /><br /> What's your point? The governor should have been awake and watching the NWS and so should the mayor. It's their fault for not being pro-active. The governor was depending on Charley English, the head of GEMA, and I don't think even he was watching. I think Charley English should go. The rest of us were watching and made our own decisions. We were prepared.
  23. Thank goodness we've got nice weather for a week so we can thaw out!! No freezing temperatures in site!
  24. You know, I was watching on TV when GEMA Head Charley English said it was his fault he didn't notify the governor. Personally, I think the governor should have been awake in constant contact with NWS himself, but that's another story. When Charley English was talking yesterday he kinda acted like he was drunk or getting over a drunk. Maybe it's time for him to go if he can't do his job. And he gets paid HOW much to not do his job?
