Eternal Thoughts from a Sunshine Mind
Our lake days are seeing low levels once again only this time it's because of human error. A faulty gauge released 22 BILLION gallons. They also miscalculated the lake levels and reported the level was higher than it actually is. How do you miscalculated a water level?And they are responsible for fixing the New Orleans levees? Good God.Faulty gauge drains Lanier Low levels could prompt drought declaration on brink of summerhttp://www.ajc.com/metro/content/metro/stories/0619lanier.htmlFaulty gauge costs Lake Lanier...
I tried to order my daughter's bedroom set online today from IKEA to pick up at their downtown Atlanta store, but they wouldn't let me. If you order online, you have no option for store pickup, just shipping. I also tried searching items from the catalog using their search feature and things would not show up that I later found through the categories. You would think such a large company would have thoroughly checked their web site for products and made them easier to find. So now we have to trek downtown with our...

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't...
As my 2 1/2 year old daughter smiles at me and says "nanny nanny boo boo," I stop and ponder where that phrase originated. I mean, I said it when I was little and I'm sure my parents' generation said it and so on. It is just a special something that she picked up at daycare. It is funny what gets passed on and even if you try to keep your kids from learning this things, it is inevitable.The same goes with riding the school bus. I rode the school bus but only from like 3rd grade on to public school. I do have an issue...

I have been interviewing for jobs and find the whole interview process a little off kilter. I mean, how can we really know what a company is like when they grill you? And how do they know how productive I will be by answering questions the right way? I say give people more 90 day trials and let them duke it out. An apprentice like approach but that is really the only way to know - for both sides.Indeed.com job search www.indeed.comMonster www.monster.comCareer Builder www.careerbuilder.comF&*(^% Companywww.fuckedcompany...
My husband and I just watched Skeleton Key last night with Kate Hudson. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, it threw me for a loop. I love smart movies that keep you guessing. This is a great movie if that is what you seek. Not a lot of gore or scary scenes, it is more imagination and the setting in New Orleans pre-Katrina and in the tone of Hoo Doo, not Voo Doo although I think they are related. Add it to your next Netflix rental if you enjoyed these types of flicks: The Village, The Sixth Sense, The Others...
Stop sign seen in Shiloh Road Alpharetta business park. Right under the stop, someone put in nice stenciled lettering "Hammer Time". I almost drove off the road laughing. I will go back and take a picture for my blog. Thank you to the random person who put that there. I have been giggling about that all week.Another annoying sighting - at a grocery store, a large woman wearing sweatpants with writing on her backside. Please don't make me look there. And the writing just forces your eyes to look there. That is a big...
