i swear i've already shoveled a ton of snow
let's see, 20 pounds (at least) a scoop, x 100 scoops = 2000 pounds... HATE IT!!
We've been getting snow twice a week, another foot at least tonight...sm
wish I could give you more, up in New England we are soooo over Winter, except for the die-hard skiers, I want spring!!!! Make a snow angel while you can! :p)
I've lived here for 25 years, a transplant from the NY area.
 I live in the "burbs" like the other poster, but if you have a choice, go to NY!! It is WONDERFUL this time of year. The crowds are what make it New York at holiday season. Rockefeller Center, Radio City, and all thos wonderful things. I lived close enough to NY that I could hop on a train and be there in 15 minutes. I miss New York - lots.
Yippee! Thanks for the links. Checking them out now.
Yippee! Wonderful news! nm
yippee, whoohoo -- just finished my taxes!!!
talk about procrastination...dang! down to the last minute, i'm still trying to gather up last year's paperwork. then, about had a panic attack as i was finishing up, wondering, what if i get audited? just glad it's done, i think.
Snow?! What snow? LOL I live in south...sm
Mississippi. We rarely have snow so I can't relate, but I think the snow is beautiful though. I tell ya, a couple of years ago my husband and I went to upstate New York during March or April, not sure now which. I froze to death. I seen enough snow to get my fill. It was a bitter cold too. I am not used to that. A cold front had come through so I don't know if it normally snows there that late in the year or not.
Atlanta
So sorry it turned out so horribly bad! I hope in the end it is not a permanent black ink blob on your marriage and soon you can drop some bleach on it and wash it clean. Its good you are able to cry it out and not turn to spiteful hate. Another AFGE (af-ghee) - "another f***** growth experience". I hope you can still love your husband as he is.
(((hugs)))
Has 1 in Atlanta
but have no plans on visiting as sure would be disappointed - my husband is top chef and most restaurant ventures just do not match up.
Thanks for the tip. I'm near Atlanta, and I'm sure there is one here.
I love a bargain, and we have been wanting to volunteer for HFH anyway, so we'll sign up for that as well!!
In Atlanta in the 80s, blizzard
here, nothing running, things closed down, a real mess
I just moved from Atlanta and believe me when I say
most of the people there could care less about your lineage, would just be another good fight for them. Just spoke with my daughter and she told me a coworker of hers yelled at a person going through neighborhood driving too fast and the person got out and came back after her. Scared the girl to death and my daugher said she would not do that again. I have moved recently to a wonderful quiet place but still return to Atlanta to get my housekeeper. Making the news yesterday was young male, got upset with neighbor, got a gun and sprayed the neighbors home hitting a 2-year-old child inside his home, killing it in the mothers arms. Read about the killings here, for nothing. It the part about backbone for me, my kids would find that funny as when they were growing up they used such words about me like aggressive, outspoken, etc - but people say with age comes more wisdom.
It is 4 stores around Atlanta, don’t think
national. Let me settle up there first and then I will update. Let me say this, and this gives me hope, the court person the other day said a big chain owed $10,000 and when the truck pulled up in front of their store to load,the checkbook came out so I would like the money back - if not I take more furniture than I bought in the first place. I bought dinette but if I have to remove plan on 4 complete dinettes with 2 sofs and 2 chairs. Already have my wish list just in case!
I love Atlanta!!
the hot weather doesn't stop me either.
My DH is leaving in just a little bit for Atlanta
He is going on business for the weekend (we are in VA and have about 2in of snow now and more on the way) and he is taking my DD along for a little Father/daughter bonding. We have been following the weather and saw that it is in the 30s today and up to in the 50s tomorrow then back to 30s on Sat. with snow expected. My daughter is going crazy trying to decide what to pack. LOL
Outskirting Atlanta but come on down
we got rain after the snow yesterday and then some sleet, worried about the road situation but everything stayed just above freezing- cold here, needing coats, gloves and etc. but not unbearable. Coming here, though, still apt to see some with their sandals on, always happens!
bad weather in Atlanta
My sister lives there but they just got a lot of thunder and some rain, northeast of Atlanta. I hate to even hear the word. I hope it quietens there soon for you.
Northeast Atlanta is around 1.79, but
my husband saw it for 1.69 at one store yesterday.
Yes, the case was in Atlanta
The rings he took were from a young, married mother and her husband was relentless in finding out who did this. Not only was he able to recover his wife's rings but others saw the guy on TV and he also had committed crimes against their relatives. I definitely would ask about cameras that might be there. The home should want to assist.
Wish you would send some this way (Atlanta)!

Is there a Panda Cam at Atlanta? Other zoos have them. Will have to try and see. nm

Regarding bus accident on Atlanta Interstate
I was just curious to know if any of you ever experienced that intersection. From what I see on the news, it looks extremely dangerous. I can't imagine the powers that be would allow such an "off ramp" to exist as it appears on TV. I mean, it looks like the HOV lane, which is the "off ramp" ends at a stop sign at the end of an incline?
Apparently this is a frequent accident intersection. Hopefully this tragedy will encourage some sort of modification.
Around Atlanta it's $10/night/pet with discounts for ....sm
multi-pets in a family of usually a couple of bucks/pet/night.
We rarely board ours as we have a couple of trusty neighbors (1 an 11-year-old and another an adult) who are usually available to check on our "children" while we're gone and we pay them $20 a day to come by 3 times to let the dogs out and make sure all animals have food/water. It sure beats the $64 a day we'd pay the vet's office for the 8 that would have to stay, plus the animals get to stay at home.
My girlfriend went to school here in Atlanta
with Gladys Knight at Archer High.
I got it at QT in Austell.... you can check Atlanta gas prices....sm
at http://www.atlantagasprices.com - I'm seeing prices all around $1.99 to $2.04 posted on there from consumers.
My sister and her husband are both teachers in Atlanta and -
The word is that many teachers will pass kids out of their current grade just to get rid of them. They tell me the biggest fear of the teachers is to have to teach the same problem child twice! They also say that some parents INSIST that their child be passed no matter what. So sad because it is the children who suffer!
On 1 Atlanta radio station this morning...sm
they were begging listeners that if anyone out there actually voted for this guy to please call them and explain why. They couldn't get anyone to call in other than folks saying that they are wondering if people are voting for this kid to annoy Simon.
No, Reynolds, GA. About an hour south of Atlanta, I think. nm
m
Georgia, 30 miles south of Atlanta
lots do here, just where you live I suppose. I for 1 am glad to take hubs last name, no problem with that for me.
Really? I am in Columbus, GA...An hour south of Atlanta - are you in GA? nm

Back from Atlanta early..Remember me from below? :( nm
We ended up fighting most of the time and ended up coming home this afternoon. We didn't go to this restaurant I wanted to visit so bad, nothing.
Got home, didn't say a word, and then WWIII began. Words flew! Emotions flew! It's so, so sad. I heard for the 1st time tonight that he doesn't think he can live like this anymore. He's never said those words to me before. We're both hard headed, completely opposite, and continue to hurt each other. He's passive, apathetic, quiet, I'm outgoing, bubbly, fun - he makes me mad, I make him mad. It's like we can't appreciate the differences in each other. It makes us angry. I wanted him to be EXCITED about taking me to this restaurant I've been talking about for weeks. Instead he grumbled about traffic. Finally, about 3 o'clock today I just said, "FORGET IT! LET'S JUST GO HOME!!!" And he turned the car around and we went home. I couldn't believe it! Of course that made me appalled! I didn't really mean for him to take me home early!! Doesn't he know better?
So when we fought he told me he couldn't read my mind and I yelled, "after 10 years how can you NOT read my mind? You KNEW I didn't really want to go home!" And on and on it went.
I'm sad tonight. Sounds so stupid and immature on both sides, I know. I just wish he would open up and be romantic, not complain, and just be sweet. Be something! Be excited about being in Atlanta with me.......I'm going to bed alone tonight and I'm going to cry.
Up to 2 last night watching about tornado that hit Atlanta
I live really close to there and so much destruction, unbelievable that it went right downtown. Today we are having tornados over Georgia and I get scared just hearing about them. They are in the upper northern part as I type this. Pray for everyone to be safe.
Is the case you're talking about in Atlanta?
That story was all over the news here. I even threatened them with that particular case and how the general public doesn't like stories regarding injustice to children or the elderly and maybe I would contact the local media about this.
The only panda, I hear, born in the US this year is in Atlanta, yeh!
I do not have membership but used to live within walking distance of the zoo and signed up to volunteer when we originally got the pandas so able to get in before the crowds to see them. Immediate fall in love situation. If you are able to get the AJC or Atlanta TV channels, they have their panda weekly exams and it is a big awwwwwwwwww for me. Can hardly wait to see her. What a present for us all!
Try not to let your vivid imagination ruin your Atlanta experience.

Sigh...No, I am near Atlanta, GA. I have tons of responses to "ship" her, but i just don't
I want to ship her to a stranger, although, YOU sound like the perfect fit for her. She adores our boys and treats them like she is their mother, but she needs a good, stable, loving environment right now. I have to take our son to the doctor again at 3:30 again for severe coughing and respiratory problems..
Snowing here in Henry County Georgia right below Atlanta

Courts in Atlanta lied to, kids given to nonfamily members
I know for a fact, had 2 grandkids, my husband's daughter by previous marriage- we took in, their g'father died, I had in my care for awhile- real mother went to court, lied to have children stay with a nonmember (heard stories before about this person selling/doing drugs) and the courts turned them over. For the most part, I am very glad to be out of that swinging door system, otherwise known as the court system.
Oh Wow. Staying in downtown Atlanta in a historic hotel. This place is haunted. No one
told me this, I am a Christian and I feel this heavy spirit following me everywhere I go! How crazy is that? I believe there is something here at this place. It is a beautiful place, but definitely something spiritual going on here. This was the place where they had some Gone With The Wind ball many years ago. Very strange.
We are here visiting and going to the zoo, children's museum, and aqauarium this week. Wow. I have the chills right now! night night
Spending a romantic weekend in Atlanta with hubby. Leaving at noon. Can't wait! nm

snow!!!
Hey, I'm in upstate NY too! I am so excited. I have been working from home for almost two years and I swear ever since then there has been no snow!!! When I had to drive 30 minutes to work we got dumped on all the time!!
snow
I live right outside Albany and we have only had an inch or so here and there. Looking forward to staying home!
Snow
We have snow here in PA too. Started this morning and hasn't stopped.
They say it will snow until 6:00 p.m. Wednesday.
Schools closed early and some have called off for tomorrow already.
Snow
Mt. Mitchell State Park, just a little NE of Asheville, North Carolina, off of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Had snow to my hip first week of May. May start falling early. Call to check.
Snow - still - nm

Snow
I live near Scranton, PA. We have about 4 inches and school is canceled.
Snow, Oh, NO!
Nothing here yet in Upstate NY, but they are calling for 1-3 inches overnight. I'm not looking forward to this at all. My friends all laugh at me, once the snow falls, you'll never catch me outside unless it's absolutely necessary. On the upside, they're saying that for Halloween it's going to be 62. Very strange weather here.
Snow!
Hey yall! There is snow on the ground in South Texas (between Galveston & Houston). I looked outside when starting my shift at 0200 & it is there....will probably all be gone by 10 though.....we almost never get snow here.
Snow...
You can definitely have the snow from WI.....If things continue on the way they have started we will never see green grass! I think it April before all the snow melted from last year!
snow
Wow that is a mess of snow. I am originally from NY/NJ and I really miss the true meaning of a snow advisory.
