  1. My teen has 2 part time jobs . Both bosses make it clear that they do not want me (the parent) to speak for her . So if it is a matter of too many hours , I would tell my teen to discuss it with his/her boss first . And maybe fill out a new availability form . Many bosses (like coaches) , want their players/employees to be mature & speak for themselves NC-17 , I do understand how you feel
  2. Not bands but I love Van Morrison, and the late Rory Gallagher
  3. I used to live in Cobb & was very active in the PTA . They used to tell us at PTA meetings to vote for SPLOST . They gave the impression that it was just for schools . Now we hear it goes to many other things . Cobb feels they get SPLOST from visitors traveling through Georgia . VIA I75, the malls , etc . Which they do .
  4. I just got this in an Email . Its long but explains some .. Foreign observers are noting with curiosity and wonder that the Japanese people in disaster-plagued areas are not looting for desperately-needed supplies like bottled water. This behavior contrasts sharply with what has so often happened in the wake of catastrophes elsewhere, such as Haiti, New Orleans, Chile, and the UK, to name only a few. Most people chalk up the extraordinary good behavior to Japanese culture, noting the legendary politeness of Japanese people in everyday life. Culture does play a role, but it is not an a
  5. Thats what my son did . he had to quit . As he does not have parents who can afford it . I have never gone to college either . I was hoping my son would get to be the first generation who would .
  6. It is heartbreaking to watch on CNN . Japanese babies are sooooooooooo cute !
  7. Same with Chelsea. One time she has partially frosted hair , the next scene its all brown . But I love Chelsea & her dad . Leah is growing up . But I think Corey is a good ole boy .. But I think she wants more out of life . Sad . they dated 1 month & she gets pregnant with twins . But Corey is good . Janelle , is used to think her Mom Barbara was annoying . But now I get her & understand where she is coming from . Janelle is a little wild seed Kailyn , what the heck ! Joe's parents are good enough to take her in ... and she sees another guy ! And how does she plan to
  8. I agree. My sister lived in Japan for 20 years and LOVED it . She loved the people and she is very upset about this Earthquake . But she said the people in Japan are used to natural disasters . They have everything . Earthquakes, Volcano, Typhoons, Tsunami . They know what to do & many of their buildings are built for this . But I agree, it is their Buddhist upbringing . They learn respect , respect for their elders , wisdom, ethical conduct, not to harm others, disipline . I have read many books on Zen . I also used a Zen book to raise my children . I am a Christian , but I feel
  9. Progressive kept on raising my rates. It was crazy . My homeowners went WAY up . When I asked them why , they said because all of the supplies to rebuild my home (drywall, copper piping, hardyPlank etc ) have gone up . So I asked if in case of home loss , could I just build a smaller home . .. They said "no". As far as my auto , they kept on raising my rates for no reason . I have gone 30 years with no homeowner or auto claims . Just paying the bills !!! I just went to an Allstate office on Cedarcrest (Mr. Upton) , and he sat with me for a long time & worked out an auto/home polic
  10. I didn't know he was the voice of the duck either I always thought he was annoying & not funny Aflac made the right choice . What he said was in very poor taste .
  11. My obgyn told me a few years ago not to eat too much chicken because of the hormones they use in the chickens . She also said that is why so many young girls are starting their time earlier that scared me We really don't know what we are eating My kids also won't eat packaged lunch meat because they saw a show on TV on how they made it & what is in it . Growing up , my Mom would not let me eat hot dogs . I was buying Kraft Singles in Publix one day & some random old man started scolding me & saying "why are you buying THAT ? Do you know how they make that ?"
  12. I'm sorry but I think college tuition is way to expensive . Books are way too expensive ! I think they need to put a freeze on that ! As far as HOPE goes, my daughter has a 3.3 . When she heard they were changing it to 3.7 , she started working harder on her studies . But , I worry about college loans as well . What if my daughter graduates from college $20,000+ in debt ? Will she be able to get a job to pay that ? EVERYTHING is so expensive now . My son had to quit college . He can barely afford his auto insurance & gas for his car It took my neices husband 12 years to pay his
  13. My kids had the Harry Potter ones too They actually had BOOGER flavor !! They thought that was funny They prefer the Dr. Pepper flavored ones though
  14. They have had 125 aftershocks . 1 was 6.8 . There has been an explosion at a nuclear power station it tore down the walls of one building It is not cooling off . If this gets into the air, water & soil , it will be horrible ! Millions of people may not feel it , but it can cause cancer in the future This is 1 of the worse disasters I have ever seen
  15. I have always respect the culture of Japan . They are very proud people . You don't see them on TV screaming & blaming . If anyone has heard of a way to help , please post it . I assume the Red Cross is there ?
  16. I have a girlfriend who had a rare form of cancer . she went to a doctor at Emory and she said he was so distant & insensitive, she said she could actually see dollar signs in his eyes .. She left & never went back. She went to Anderson in Texas. Just find a better doctor . I am so sad yall had to deal with this
  17. If you go to google , it ways Tsunami Alert for New Zealand, the Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Hawaii, and others. Waves expected over the next few hours, caused by 8.9 earthquake in Japan. I am very concerned about the neclear reactors. The rods are not cooling. They say they are built for earthquakes. But not 8.9 . They will try to get cold water into them. But the water might just boil. It could be like another Chernobyl . I PRAY it's not. It is VERY serious I cannot imagine the workers who are going to go work by the reactors ...
  18. I read he is 'cash poor'. All his money tied up in investments & properties. He said he will not give out anymore free interviews (smart move) And he is trying to work out a deal to market t-shirts with his new sayings . He better watch out . His managers & lawyers will take everything & not care . He will learn who his true friends are . As most people do in low times . Hopefully it will be a wake up call ...
  19. I left my home town 20 years ago & never looked back . Good luck on your new adventure ! I have a best friend in Clearwater & she is always begging me to move down by her . I will definately move once my kids are out of the schools here !
  20. I woke up at 4 am and have been watching this. A whole airport wiped out in Japan. Also one of the nuclear reactors emergency cool off/shut down did not work. 100,000 people being told to evacuate that area. Tourists in Hawaii being woke up at 2 am & told to go inland to an airport which is at a higher elevation. I was just watching the other day, an active volcano in Hawaii. They were flying over it. It was getting ready to erupt. The Earth is getting old. I have been saying many prayers. They are saying if you know anyone in Hawaii now, try to call them as it is 2 am.
  21. I fired Sun Trust because they were horrible ! I don't like the big banks . I use Bartow County Bank on 41 in Acworth . They are small but friendly . The employees there are the best ! They dont charge me crazy fees. They are never to busy to answer questions & assist their customers .
  22. I'm glad they are OK . My friends in Cobb ~their teens always go there to eat for After Prom
  23. I just saw this I have been in for the night . But my family are not home yet . I text them to watch for him . Bumping this post up very Important
  24. I heard that . Tempory Insanity my butt !!!! At least they are getting this sicko off the streets before he gets a hold of any more young women Poor Natalee Holloway's mother .. He is being jailed for another young woman's death !! And in the pictures of Van der Sloot , why does he get to wear a bullet proof vest all the time ? I don't think he deserves to wear one !!!
