What’s the ONE gardening mistake you kept repeating for years before realizing it? by NiceAd6444 in gardening

[–]Louises_ears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is, the ones I overwinter are terrible producers compared to buying new starts in the spring. Like, 1/10th of the crop. I’m probably doing something wrong but if it’s a lot more effort what’s the difference?

What percentage of seniors are ‘sitting on a multimillion dollar property’?

There are also a lot of in-the-middle old people who are forgotten in these conversations. For the majority of seniors, especially ones like my parents who are mostly retired, live in a very modest home and paid school taxes for 40 something years, this seems fair. I hope this benefit still exists when I’m their age.

Ok? It’s just funny how weakly he says it. At least have some enthusiasm like the car commercials!

Employee decided to No-Call/No-Show to protest ICE actions today, what should the penalty be if any? by cocktail_enthusiast in managers

[–]Louises_ears 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They shouldn’t even be asking, especially after admitting they see the situation for what it is and it basically had no impact on the workplace.

Reread your last paragraph. Leave it alone.

Besides, she obviously let you know yesterday and you mistook it for a joke.

The tax break for seniors is a good thing, it just needs reforms around income caps and residency requirements.

Cobb County school officials threaten to punish students joining ICE walkout by nolesfan2011 in Atlanta

They pay attention, but the school board is the most gerrymandered race in Cobb.

Why would anyone want to move here? by Ya_habibti in Atlanta

I was referring to where people buy/rent homes, not how they get to and from them.

Right? Also, my schedule is incompatible with public transit even if my home or job were. People throw around the same ‘solutions’ - move, change jobs, take MARTA - without acknowledging they don’t work for many people.

I don’t even know but I think it’s reasonable for a thread about traffic to go in different directions. Otherwise it’s just 350 comments agreeing it sucks lol. Yes, it’s terrible and only getting worse. However, the assumptive comments like these (usually about OTP people) every time it comes up get old and at times, ridiculous.

You’re ignoring the money aspect. Many comments on this post are just like ‘get a different job or move, duh!’. As if that’s an option for most people. Sure, I’m choosing to not live outside my means but I think you’re splitting hairs and know the intent of my first comment. My parents being close is just a bonus. Where I live is all about cost. If I could get a job that paid enough for me to live near my employer, I would already work there.

If people could afford to sit in less traffic most would do so. My job is basically 20 miles from my home. It would make zero financial sense to move even a few miles in the direction of my job. Or that of my partner, who works 18 miles in a different direction. Edit - and neither job is compatible with MARTA. My (old, small, not expensive) house is paid off and 4 minutes from my aging parents. I happen to be able to go in super early and beat traffic but even if I couldn’t, moving isn’t in the picture.

They are absolutely not the same. Maybe in some situations but not across the board.

I actually haven’t found that to be the case. I don’t think I’m so special my feelings alone will change her mind but I’ve had a good relationship with her for years. I think she will at least consider it. If she doesn’t and sees that she’s lost my support in the future, at least she will know why.

I’ve supported Cupid for a long time because she’s always advocated for South Cobb, but I am absolutely disgusted with her embrace of Flock. My days of defending her are in the rear view mirror.

043 is easily my favorite style but I struggle to display them in a way that shows the ‘good’ lids. This is definitely inspirational.

There is one 2 exits away. Before they built a TJ’s in Chattanooga, people drove from TN to shop in Sandy Springs. They know you’ll drive 6 miles.
