I'm 41 years old and was a single parent for 5 years before meeting my wonderful new wife who I married in 2000. We now have a 2yr old of our own and another on the way for a total of 4 boys who are 18 (in College), 14 (A-B student), 2 (great kid!) and the new one with the big kick. I love reading and very seldom watch TV unless it's a Georgia Tech game of any sport or the Braves, Falcons or Hawks. My favorite YA section is Home Theater as that is another hobby. I have been slowly replacing all my TV's with projection and now have a 135" in the Living Room, a 110" in the Bedroom as well as a 30 Foot Outdoor Theater. I also enjoy the Law and Police section and always go to Society and Culture or Religion when I really want a chuckle. I don't believe in God but have no issue if you do. Anything that works is what I say, within reason.
I just saw a commercial for a new show with Flavor Flav called In The House or something?
They said it was on at 8pm on "My Network". Has anyone ever heard of this channel and know the channel on DirectTV?

I think I'd jet back to the 1969 so I could catch Woodstock and hang around the early seventies for a while.

4 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoCan the police issue a noise violation or make you turn your music down?
even if it does not violate the db level for that particular area? In other words, if a neighbor complains and an officer arrives, but you can show them on a noise level that it is not over the db level set by code, can they do anything?

15 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police1 decade agoWTF? Where the heck is Hampton for the Braves?
I turned on the TV late all excited and rooting for Hampton and I see this Bennet buy pitching. Please tell me he's not hurt again!
And on another note Yahoo is saying Favre is rethinking retirement and going to sign with another team. Could the Falcons get him, or should they even.
WTF is going on?

3 AnswersRock and Pop1 decade agoDo you think we should ask Yahoo to add another category to the music?
section for all the lame bands that for some reason are considered Rock & Roll that really aren't? You know, bands like My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Maroon 5, etc? That way us REAL rockers can discuss true rock & roll music instead of that crap? What would you call this new category and who else would you throw in there?

21 AnswersRock and Pop1 decade agoGa law regarding the growing of Marijuana in Ga?
What would the penalty be if you got caught growing Marijuana in Georgia. I'm only talking 1 plant that's used for personal use with no selling involved. What's would likely happen if an officer accidentally rolled up on your plant?

1 AnswerLaw & Ethics1 decade agoCan Christians not take a joke or is this guy not like the rest of you?
Someone posted this opinion yesterday in The Atlanta Journal and my first thought was "geez, here we go. It's just a joke, and a a pretty funny one I might add". Do Christians really take
it THIS seriously?
Mockery of miracles wrong
In the "Dilbert" comic strip, the mockery of miracles performed by Jesus Christ is gratuitously sacrilegious and provocative (Business, March 10). Suppose the cartoonist had chosen to mock Muhammad. The AJC might have found itself paying for added security at its building, as newspapers in Denmark did. Apparently the AJC knows it can count on Christians to turn the other cheek.
Here's a link to the particular strip and the subject continues all week

14 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoHow can the Governor of Ga get away with this, and even twice?
As you may or may not know Sunday alcohol sales are illegal in Georgia except at bars/clubs, etc. First let me say that I could care less whether it's legal or not since I've been buying for Sunday on Saturday for like 20 years now so whether you can or not is not an issue for me.
However, last year a bill was passed that would allow each community to vote on whether or not they would allow it and the Governor said NO WAY and vetoed it. Now it is coming up again and he says he will veto it again. How can he do that? I thought the point of America was to be able to vote and voice our opinions on what we want and don't want. Is he allowed to just decide on what and when we can vote?

4 AnswersGovernment1 decade agoAssuming you don't have HD DVD or Blu-Ray why would you buy a 1080p tv when nothing is in 1080p?
Since there is no plan to ever broadcast in 1080p what exactly is the advantage to owning a 1080p TV unless you plan to get Blu-Ray? Especially on TV's as small as 36" and 40" you won't even notice a difference. I just don't understand spending an extra $1000 for no real picture difference. Can someone help me understand?

11 AnswersTVs1 decade agoWhy does everyone care so much that weed be legalized?
1st off, the Govt will end up putting a sin tax on it and making it even more expensive than it is now.
2nd They'll probably make the penalties even tougher for growing your own so that you will be even more afraid and have to buy theirs.
3rd Now we got a bunch of inexperienced smokers out there driving around and acting stupid.
4th They'll probably make you register or something so they can keep track of who does what.
I mean it makes absolutely no sense! In most (if not all) states it's a misdemeanor as long as you only have enough for personal use anyway. So it's not like you're going to get into big trouble with the way it is now.
Is it just because there are so many people who want to smoke but are afraid because it's illegal so they want it legalized? It would be treated just like alcohol so oyu wouldn't be able to drive while smoking or walk down the street or fire up at the local Wal Mart.
Please help me understand why legalizing is better.

16 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoI know I'm on a roll, but I'm bored at the office today so...for you officers who like to read do you ever
read mystery, law & detective novels or are they too cheesy for you guys to get into? I read a lot of this kind of stuff so I was curious. I enjoy the serious stuff such as John Sandford, The Lincoln Rhyme novels, etc but I mostly like the more humorous ones such as Ed McBain and even the Robert Parker Spencer novels. If you do, what do you read?

3 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police1 decade agoAlthough I know all police cars haul a** how do they decide who gets the real cool ones?
Where I live they have some pretty sweet police rides like Vipers, Mustangs, etc that frickin wail. How do they decide who gets to drive the souped up cool ones and who's stuck with the Caprice Classic? Although I guess the Caprice was more 80's style you guys know what I mean.

5 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police1 decade agoTo the cop haters. Do you actually have a personal experience where a you feel an officer?
either treated you badly, arrested you for no reason or some other valid reason for not liking them, or are you just on the bandwagon? Please relay TRUE experiences that happened to you if so. Most all I hear are general statements like "man, they all suck" "all they do is eat donuts", etc. I want to know what they REALLY did to you that was so unacceptable.

Does this mean that if your home was being broken into or some other crime is being committed upon you that you would not call them? I mean if they're all so bad you'll just take your chances and work it out on your own right? What would you do exactly?

12 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police1 decade agoAs a patrol officer have you ever had someone talk themselves INTO a ticket?
In other words, has there ever been a time when you pulled someone over to maybe even just give them a warning, but when you got to them they were such a**holes or so disrespectful that you ended up giving them a ticket. I think that would be kind of funny. Especially if you told them after the fact they did it to themselves.

14 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police1 decade agoWhen did officers start going out solo as opposed to with partners or has it not changed?
I remember from TV back in the 70's and 80's that most officers whether Detectives, patrol, etc used to always have partners. Ponch & John, Starsky & Hutch, etc and I'm pretty sure that's how it was in real life too I think.
Nowadays it seems I hardly ever see officers on patrol with partners. Was this something that was intentionally done to get more officers in more places or was it for some other reason. Or, am I just imagining the whole thing to begin with.
just curious,

8 AnswersLaw Enforcement & Police1 decade agoIt's my understanding that if you get caught growing Marijuana in the states that they can sieze?
your home, auto, etc. Is this the case say for just ONE plant that you may use for your own personal use. I can see if you bust some guy with enough to distribute, but since possession less than an ounce is a misdemeanor do they make the same allowances when growing?
