  1. Deal is a "French shower". He's just trying to put a happy face on in front of the Barge supporters. Most teachers and educational professionals support Barge. Deal is just throwing a Hail Mary to win them back.
  2. The bill goes up as much as you allow it to. Used phones can be bought for as little as $50. If you don't get the Internet service there's nothing to worry about. Most everything can still be used without Internet service as long as the phone is located within a wi-if spot. It really isn't as big of a deal as you think it is.
  3. Not me. In loving the cold nights. I've recorded football games in the snow and several Antarctic adventure documentaries so I can watch them when it warms up. Menopause SUCKS!!! Bring on the SNOW!!!
  4. I love my Roku but my complaint is with Netflix. Netflix streaming doesn't offer the same library they offer through mailed DVD's. The streaming service is about 3-6 months behind when it comes to new releases. I can get RedBox movies long before they show up on Netflix.
  5. Dress for the job you want, not the job you have.
  6. I've always hated the idea of gift showers. Even my own. Between different friends and family they scheduled 5 wedding showers and I've only been married once. I didn't want to seem ungrateful and tell them no, but you can't imagine how ashamed I felt when the same people were invited to multiple showers. They tried the same thing when I had my kids. I hated the idea. Finally, I agreed to register for my first child but I refused to agree to a shower date. The people dead set on giving gifts either brought them by at their convenience or mailed them. That was so much better. No muss, no f
  7. A conference center is a wonderful project to use as a money dump. Just ask the City of Marietta.
  8. They just want to give you a token of their love and appreciation. How can you say you don't want that? Tell them to give you an IOU to be used anytime during the year. Examples: IOU -- I will prepare a Sunday dinner for the family IOU -- I will do your grocery shopping for you when you are busy IOU -- I will spend the weekend with you and help you catch up on the laundry IOU -- You and I will spend the afternoon fishing IOU -- We will spend the afternoon organizing and digitizing old photographs You get the idea.
  9. My sentimental favorites are White Christmas and Silent Night. The antagonist in me loves," All I Want For Christmas Is A Hippopotamus." Everyone I know hates it. That's probably why I like it so much.
  10. I went to Kroger at 8am. Other than myself, I came across only one shopper. Happy Thanksgiving.
  11. Hmmm. Then I guess I'll see you on the health food and beer aisles.
  12. I think you have too much time on your hands. Focus on making one positive change a day instead of changing the attitudes of the masses. Let the seemingly small good deeds add up. Have a Happy and Bountiful Thanksgiving.
  13. A few years ago I drove a lady (widowed for 5 months) to pick up her Christmas dinner and toys for her two year old son and infant daughter. The volunteers at the City if Kennesaw were very gracious. I hope nobody judged her because of the new car I drove. She had lost hers to repossession. By the way she was grateful for the toys but returned most of them. She used the Walmart refund card to purchase clothes, formula, and diapers for her baby.
  14. Possible, yes. Legal, no. Storage facilities and office warehouses have commercial zoning, not residential.
  15. Thank you. I needed a good smile this morning.
  16. YES!!!!! My favorite wedding gift was a handwritten book of recipes from my grandmother. There's a certain level of pride in knowing that only I have been entrusted to carry on the family's favorite meals. When other people asked her for recipes she always left out one or two ingredients. Yes, she did that on purpose. I'm the only one that has the correct ones. HEHE. Sorry for the hijack. SurePip makes amazing meals. He cooked a lamb roast for me one Easter. Anyone who takes advantage of his offer will be far more than pleased.
  17. OK, somebody has to be the one to say it. I would much rather wait in an aisle for a person to choose their item than turn the corner and have what appears to be an abandoned cart parked at the endcap. I am patient with people, not things. I have no problem either waiting on a shopper to choose or asking them if they'll let me by. If I ask an unmanned cart to please let me by it just sits there and acts like it didn't hear me. I have seen and been involved in near misses as I turned the end of the aisle. The unmanned cart is like a parked car in the middle of an intersection.
  18. I heard about this, this morning. I am friends with his brother. I pray for peace during the difficult time they are facing.
  19. In an article I read a month or so ago, the founder of Hobby Lobby was threatening to close all his stores. To summarize the story, he claimed his family founded the business on Christian values and that they would rather see it close than be forced to provide an insurance plan that included something similar to the ultimate birth control. After reading the article it would seem strange that they would be going ahead with expansions right now. --Unless, he was just posturing.
