That would be table bgcolor. LOL!

[daisyscarlett]

Good idea, Mixer. We need to know the truth about oil companies. Unfortunately, there are many Urban Legends floating around....So hard to know what to believe.....But still, some things are just interesting enough to make the effort to prove or disprove them...

You're freeping tonight? I thought it was next Monday or are you doing a Freep then, also?

"The Scarlett side of Daisyscarlett recommends it highly..."

I must say that we have not gotten to that, yet. We've been here 4 years and have done many "touristy" things that have taken us outside of the metro area, such as the quaint town of Helen, Anna Ruby Falls, Oconee National Park, Lake Lanier, Stone Mountain, etc.

Still lots more to see....never a dull moment!

Every day when I open this thread, I say a little prayer of thanks for the three of you!

Awwwwww.......you've touched my heart. How sweet of you.

(((((((((Billie))))))))))

Well crumb-bum and nutz. Yep, on Thursday evening we were at Janousek's Holcomb Bridge Road, near the 400, location and had the place all to ourselves. Mrs. Janousek regailed us with tales of all they went through to finally make it to America and get a chance to live their dream.

We arrived around 6pm and had to be run out around 10:30pm.

There's lotsa business failures in the area, judging by the vacancies in the shopping centers and by the lack of business at the restaurant; I hope they make it through this recession OK.

Next time, I'll make a point of freemailing you with our GA plans and see if we can get together. JL

Congratulations!!!! I'm sure you will love it. But let me warn you, FReeping is addictive!

[lodwick]

Thanks for your resizing skills - I had my stuff all ready to go, hit preview, and GREAT GOODNESS was it ever huge.

Thanks again. ;-)

What a beautiful graphic you have made for Physicist. He is a great patriot and I am sure his militiamen ancestors are looking down with pride at him.

In anticipation of your arrival today, ta dah, I saved a graphic to post for you. Alas you will not be surprised to learn that I appropriated it from the net and I am sorry she does not have a hat, but this is for you...

[Billie]

Be glad to give you a link to the Hall of Fame (the first 3 months threads - but that was only through 9-20) I've been keeping them updated for the next quarter's Hall of Fame, so will include those links, too.

One thing that physicist pointed out to me when he was perusing the Hall of Fame is that a couple of the links didn't work (I'm sorry - careless of me not to doublecheck them all) One was Luis Gonzales and one was JulieRNR21. I'll try to remember to link those separately, too.

I hope all is well in your world!

Thanks, Angel. All is well here. In fact, this is the first day in a long time that I have a relatively easy day. I'm hoping to actually be able to stay around here for a bit. :-)

Thanks for your post. So very sad, only 20 years old....My heart is breaking for he and his family. Rest in Peace, Lance Cpl. Antonio Sledd, USMC. Thank you for your ultimate sacrifice...

[Billie]

Well! Who would've thought of such a photograph! Very striking, too! Ok, now, who was driving the vehicle YOU were in?! Don't you dare tell me YOU were! :)

[Billie]

Miss Pippin, I've not done a very good job of 'hostessing' today - been hopping around online today - from self-search to FReepmail to the thread itself - so, just wanted to say hello. :)

[dansangel]

We shop in that shopping plaza where Janousek's is (Marshall's, Home Depot) but I'm sorry to say we've never tried their restaurant. There are so MANY restaurants around...we never had variety like that in FL.

That particular area seems to have had its share of business failures. Drug Emporium went out over a year ago and remains empty. Over by Marshall's, a whole side of storefronts sits empty. Not far is the North Pointe Mall and all of their outlying shops and restaurants. I think the Mall may be pulling from that area.

Please let us know when you come by our neck of the woods again. .45MAN and I would love to meet you!

I'm on Billie's ping list...

The spa is still tipped up on its side.
Im almost ready to place it...
I had to get all of the old deck material removed first... :o)

[lodwick]

Surely it's sunrise somewhere
This one's stunning to me

[dansangel]

I'm hoping to actually be able to stay around here for a bit. :-)

I wish I could, but duty calls... :-(

If I don't get so wrapped up cussing out my poor abused laptop tonight (html brings out the worst in me!!!), I'll try to drop in again.

As often as I have visited relatives who live near Atlanta in the last several years, there are many places I have not seen. But we have been to Helen GA(Solvang CA is much more interesting, IMO) and Stone Mountain, which I absolutely adored.....Of course, I have the most fun shopping at Rich's lol...I was privileged to have been able to shop at their homestore in downtown Atlanta before it closed. Even got in on their closing sale...what fun that was...

A bit of GWTW trivia....Margaret Mitchell included Rich's in the novel and her depiction was accurate as Rich's was founded in 1860...

And I have been to Turner Field though I hate to admit it as I despise Ted Turner. But he did build a great ballpark...

[daisyscarlett]

Thanks for the spa update....Now tell us if you have seen any good movies lately...I am actually going to sneak out in a bit and go and see that new Dustin Hoffman-Susan Sarandon flick-I think it is ladies type movie so unless Barb gets to pick a movie now and then, you might miss it...(P.S. Don't tell Billie I am abdicating my hostessing duties early...lol....)
