https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulton_County,_Georgia
WHAT????
I don't see how this article even makes any sense. It starts by saying Fulton County is of/in "The Piedmont Section" of Georgia. Firstly, what the hell does that mean and secondly, shouldn't a county that's smaller than the city it sits within be at least a tiny bit outshadowed by it? Yeah, who cares about the fact that Fulton County is ***IN*** the city of Atlanta? EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT ALREADY RIGHT??? I guess you get what you pay for when you rely on a FREE encyclopedia...
And the *second* sentence of the *first* paragraph jumps right into census #s. Noteworthy, but why the heck is census information with sprinkles of other info crammed in between the only thing that the preface consists of? It should *start* with the nation, state, and a nod to Atlanta & then census #s. The 4th & 5th can be debated, I suppose. I should not have to go to the end of some elongated non-answer about the population # of Fulton County to find out that Fulton County is within Atlanta and not the other way around.
I looked up the word "Piedmont" and unsurprisingly, nothing but pictures of maps and links to travel agents and tourist propaganda showed up. Nobody *wants* to know what Piedmont is. Nobody cares. SO WHAT THE FUCK IS "THE PIEDMONT SECTION"??? Nobody *wants* to know because nobody except me is new to the Atlanta area...either that or the people of this area don't use Wikipedia?

"& your 3 precious back issues, too!"
The MovieStop membership, as I said, came w/ a 1yr subscription to Entertainment Weekly. ****AND* it came with 3 back issues. One of them has David Bowie on the cover. I just sold it @ Amazon. It's in pending status right now, but I expect to receive apprx. $2.50 (maybe $3+) from the sale of this mag. WOW. I've already got over half my membership paid for. I didn't realize how cool it is to have this.
HA HA HA HA!!!!!! TAKE THAT SIR DOUBT!!!!!
HA HA HA HA!!!!!! TAKE THAT SIR DOUBT!!!!!
30044 (N. OTP)
LIVING IN OTP ATLANTA.
Just got moved January 21st, 2016. Living in my sister & her husband's condo. Currently looking for somewhere to live so it won't be so crowded. My sis is estimated to go into labor in April. I'm sure she'll have a ton on her plate without having me (and my mom) around. I tend to be a lot more *in the way* than Mom. And I talk too much...questions & excessively detailed statements...
Being @ sissy's condo makes Atlanta seem awesoeme. Me & mumsy checked out a motel like complex that had nothing around it and was a 30-45 minute drive each way. It had a ton of dinky businesses around. An actual grocery store would be a big hunkofa walk, not even legal b/c YOU CAN'T WALK ON THE INTERSTATE and there's lots of I-state happening here. 75% of the car trips I've taken since I moved here require driving on the interstate. I'm not sure what route(s) I would take walking. NONE (?)??
Anyway...still looking for apts/houses. We've found a couple things at/under $600. I personally like the condo/motel complex. My mom says it's a very rundown looking area, but I wouldn't expect anything more for the amount of money we've settled on spending. I'm almost certain my mom is unwilling to sign a lease for a $700 apartment. I don't drive, so she's taking the lead in the decision making. I think an apt/condo/trailer/house would have to be wow-level impressive to convince her & I to spend $700/mo on it. My sis is paying under $800/mo on this place, but the down payment was $25,000, which she got from her boss in exchange for accepting her boss' pleaSSSE DON'T LEAVE!!! My sis was half a mile away from driving to work at a new place when her boss gave her an offer she couldn't refuse. $25,000. WHEW! ******and*** she got a $3/hr raise. Ye! She's the stuff of bumper stickers. Except I'm w/o a bumper. This'll have to suffice.
Ate at Krispy Kreme for the 1st time ever. I don't mind it. I think it's extremely overrated, but I like donuts, kinda like pizza, hard to screw up w/ it unless you have no business being in business. I need to keep an eye out for their neon sign. It's lit up when the donuts R fresh. Gotta remember to go by and look, mainly. We're not far, but getting up on it to see is not something me or my mom ordinarily do.
I had a cupcake from a 6pk that my sis & her hubby bought at Publix, another thing SEMO didn't have. IT'S AWESOME! My mom said that when she (Mom) visited my sis back in April 2015 that the cake my sis' husband bought her was from Publix and was AWESOME! Moist cake and WHAAAAAAA-quality creme. I was hypothesizing based on my weird thought process that combines memories of all different shapes and sizes to come to some rather odd conclusions once in a while that if you put really great frosting on a mediocre cake that the frosting is almost an enemy to the cake and that you either hate both the frosting *and* the cake -- cake b/c it's an enemy & the frosting for chillin' w/ the enemy -- or you grin and bear while you take turns choking on the cake & savoring the frosting. Unless you just take the frosting off of the cupcake and eat it as is, but then you wouldn't pass as civilized in the company of me mum & me sis.
Anyhoo....uh...lesseee...
My sis' husband had a humongous stash of DVDs that he couldn't use. He told me I should watch them. I said "no" to 95% of them. I finally stopped in MovieStop. I'd heard of it b/c of Hastings' affiliation w/ them. It's cool. It's got the feel of a local comic shop, except it's a chain. It's a lot cleaner than Hastings. It's got more natural lighting. It's cool. The DVDS that I didn't want I got $24 in store credit plus TBA. I had two cartons/containers of DVDs and forgot to take one of them inside. So there's another $15++ that I'm looking forward to at some point. I used $15 of it on some stupid membership that gives me a year of Entertainment Weekly magazine & 10% off used movies and 10% extra trade in value. So I would have had only $21 in trade in value. The membership bumped it up a little. I guess you could say I saved $5 in one day. Sometime soon I expect to save another $2-$6, depending on the trade in value of what's left of my bro-in-law's stash. I did save a few notable selections for he & she in case they ever once again have a functioning optical disc player that can playback standard DVDs. The rest of my trade-in value went to END OF DAYS and FROM HELL. I still had $2.50 or something like that remaining.

Stop Doing Bad Things
My road to salvation seems so tangled and contorted for the small amount of time we have remaining here. I guess if I do make it to the age of 70 or older, even if I'm starved and homeless, on the run from The Antichrist, my road won't necessarily be finished. if I stand before the Antichrist and staunchly refuse the mark of Satan, as I understand it, my head will be gone and so will my road. By that time, I might be fit for Heaven.
I wish I had the willpower & patience to keep away from lust, sloth and gluttony. Heck, I'm so lazy and impatient, just picking up The Bible gets to be a chore. Reading The Bible, so far, has not helped. It is beautiful some of the stories in there. A lot of it is horrifying. God says to slaughter every living thing in x and x land and not to show pity. I know from reading The New Testament that death is not the end. So far I've yet to see any foreshadowing of this in the Old Testament. God promises David that a descendant will cause joy for the world or some vague thing like that.
I guess God's message is pretty simple. You'd have to be a reptile to not at least feel the goodness of God in what He says. The Israelis are told to love God because they were rescued from Egypt by Him. I don't want to ask God why he hardened the Pharos heart and how the Pharoh(wtfsp???) could have chosen differently if God was determined to rescue Egypt in such a dramatic way using the Egyptian military against itself. I do think that's a legitimate question, because I wonder that about everybody, not just the ones from ancient times when mankind was not so far removed from God. I see and hear the stories of The Bible and I think how can anyone be so dumb not to recognize its truth and goodness? It sometimes seems hopeless. Mankind does not deserve Heaven. I wholeheartedly believe that. I do not deserve Heaven. But why do people choose Evil? I understand it costing something to enter Heaven, i.e.: atonement/repentance, but Hell is not atonement. It does not fix anything and there is no fixing it. It seems more logical to cease the existence of people who don't appreciate their current existence and the promise of an even better one. Maybe God uses that as Plan B and doesn't tell anybody about it b/c then they would get stupid and choose that instead of Heaven. After all, it is hard work to get to Heaven. It's not something anybody wants to do. It'd be so tempting to just give up if the consequences were not so extreme on both ends, and even more ammo for people who are lacking that lust for life, either by birth defect or theft, to choose death before it's time. I will continue to hope for a more prayerful heart and increase my time in prayer, and maybe I will get good at it and the time I spent doing it and, and if by the end of my Earthly presence, if worst comes to worst, maybe I'll have a chance to ask Him to make me into nothing, instead of an eternally suffering dipstick. That's MY Plan B. It's up to Him though.
