    Gores

    Wanted to know if anyone knows what a gore is(I'm not talking about Al Gore!) I know that we have them in the County & I know what they are. But I want to see if any one else, ecpecially the law enforcement people that we have on here. Your assistance is greatly appreciated!
  6. Reguardless how minimal the County's cost was, it was still money that could have been spent else where! A lot of money was spent (reguardless who) on something that is not getting alot of use & really had no need for.
  7. Glad that you were able to get some use out of it, it is just a shame that we WASTED all the money that went into the airport, when the money could have been used for more practical things!
  8. When I was commuting to Dekalb cnty everyday, I found that it was eaiser to stay off of the interstates (of course, I was leaving later than you are) but, Hwy 278 will take you into Atlanta (you have to turn onto veterans in mableton, but it was so much stress less than the interstate. With the time preiod that you are going to be leaving, you might not have a problem with traffic & should be able to get there in 30-45 mins, time frame coming home, you might have to find an alternative route (staying off the interstate) It is hard to say exactly, b/c the traffic changes day to day & t
  9. For 3 years in a row, I got stood up on Valentines Day. All 3 different guys! They all told me that they had planned something special for the evening, but never showed. One of the guys that stood me up, called me that night, later & told me that he could not be in a relationship at the moment & broke up with me. I gave up on love/relationships for a while!
  10. How much do you charge to have a septic pumped. Only 7 years old, located in the back yard (I have been told that it is a double)
  11. Well, I can not speak for other Councils, But I can speak for Greater Atlanta Council (which is the one that we are in)-We are not EXTREMELY dependant on the cookies sales, yes it does help, The cookie sales is jsut a percentage of the whole pie, but we also depend on the United Way funding, as well as the Annual Fund campaign that goes through out the year, Infact each Service unit has a goal that we have to meet by a deadline. How we raise that money is up to us -Parent donation, Business donation, events, etc. The troops as individual also can have fund-raisers--Yard sales, car washes, bake
  12. Yes Girl Scouts is just as much a Business as Boy Scouts, YWCA, YMCA, Boys & Girls Club - They have expenses, they have a staff that they pay, but most of the money that they require to get for yearly operation comes from United Way, Company Donations & Personal donations. If your daughter did not have a good experience b/c of a SU/Troop that should not reflect on the organization as a whole-After all, 1 bad apple does not ruin the whole batch! In the future if you or your daughter decide to come back, please don't hesitate to contact me & I will help you get placed with a troop th
  13. Henderson Collision by far. Wonderful service, Work is absolute too!
  14. Ok, If this is the main reason that you daughter is no longer is Girl Scouts, then that is so said. "Honey you can't be in Girl Scouts any longer b/c when you sell Cookies, your troop does not get enough money from it!" Yes, it is said that we only get about 70 cents a box of cookies, Yes it is true that the troops use to make more per box, BUT what you are not considering is that we have to pay the for the ingredients (which keeps going up every year), for the bakers, for the people that package, for the warehouses, for the shipping, for the marketing, etc . . . . . . . . . . . On top o
  15. Tara, I am so sorry to hear about your sister. I can only imagine what it has been like to go through & to deal prepare yourself & your family for the next few days. My prayers & thoughts are with you, your sister & your family. If there is anything that I can do for you, please let me know! {Hug}
  16. Why don't you call them! 770-485-2164. If they answer the phone today, they might be open, atleast you can ask them their hours & they might have a voicemail message!
  17. I am just shocked to read what they had to go through to get it signed in, then it took 15 years on top of that--WOW!!
  18. U.S. Representative John Conyers (D-Michigan) called for a holiday honoring Dr. King 8 days after he was killed. The bill got stalled in the Congress. So a petition of over 6 million names was then submitted. Resubmissions were then present again by John Conyers & also Shirley Chisholm (D-New York) at every subsequent session of Congress. It took 15 years for his birthday to become a holiday. In 1983 Congress passed the legislation & President Ronald Regan signed it into law. One of the hassles of getting this enacted was the date January 15. Many said it was a holiday too close to
  19. In our society, their will always be people that do something or just watch. Unfortunatly, the people that just watch are noticed a lot more than the people that are actually helping. Just because I am not packing my bags & trying to figure out a way to go over to help does not mean that I don't care & that I am just watching. I have donated money to this cause, I am collecting items/misc supplies through my Girl Scouts to send over. What more do you want??? Pat Robertson & Rush Limbaul(spell?) are really good about talking out of their ASS & getting people fired up for
  20. I am so very Happy for you!!! Congratulations!
  21. You need to remember that those are all NORTHEN Counties & they usually always get snow when it is in the forcast, even if we don't. They are use to this & plan ahead. They don't want to have children stranded. This is great planning on their parts.
