I recently learned in a Network World article about the do not call registry that politicians among others, are exempt. Exempt! There is a new non-profit that wants to stop these political telemarketing "robocalls." I invite you to sign up for noticifaction when they start a registry - I know I don't want to receive all those automated calls and the last local election in Forsyth County, GA was a nightmare. Our answering machine couldn't keep up with those calls. Stop the Robocalls! Thanks for contacting Citizens...
I saw an Inconvenient Truth a few months ago. It was disturbing and I think there really is something negative going on our planet that we have caused. At the end of the doc, they tell you ways that you can make a difference in your daily lives. I liked that and was comforted to know that we have already been doing many green things for a few years.

Fred Holland Realty advertised a beach house rental that is good for "large family gatherings" on the beachfront. It has 4 BR and 2 BA and if you count the mold infested mothball smelling downstairs room, it has 5 BR and 1 more bath but it's not livable down there.

I have a 9 month old baby and we had...

I was warned that there is a child with a peanut allergy, so no cake or cupcakes were allowed. I was shocked that bakery items even had trace amounts of peanuts but found through research it's because they are made in a place where other peanut items are also made. This little known fact opened my eyes as I launched an internet search for peanut-free snack ideas for my daughter's birthday celebration...
We visited friends in Charleston who are from Ohio and discovered an awesome new bean bag toss game called cornhole. It is simply made of 2x4 foot pieces of wood with a hole cut out and they are slanted. You throw corn-filled bean bags into or onto the wood board. It is a great mix of horseshoes and tic tac toe bean bag toss from our youth.Then we returned to Atlanta and I saw two cornhole games on the same day. One at Piedmont Park at the Park Tavern and one at the Braves game while a college group tailgated. Both...
