Lots here in Atlanta...I think only 1 of them (Dekalb county) had tear gas to disperse the crowd

We bought one online. Had electrician install in the garage. Electric company had rebate for it too, so they sent someone out to verify that it qualified. Rebate showed up on our next bill. We did have to change our plan, so be aware. Bills never went up that much though.

I work for one of the major shipping carriers. We were told about this a few weeks ago. I’ve been off the past week, but curious what I’ll be walking into tomorrow. I think they were working on diversions to the west coast ports, but obviously that takes time and will overload those as well.

Maybe look for things for my kids…but I don’t need anything really. The excitement of sales after Thanksgiving isn’t the same. I’ll still be looking through the ads just in case something pops out.

Early voting for me in Forsyth County Friday. The people there said it had been crazy all week. Hoping polls had a good turnout today for my county.

My brother and SIL have one on beach in Destin. It was his townhome before they moved. They’ve been through several cleaning companies because they rush through so fast. A lot of things get broken or stolen. Constant maintenance can be an issue. They do get a lot of income during busy season…so there is that. Block off for family every now and then as well.

I grew up watching Full House. Loved him. I saw him doing a comedy show in Roswell, Ga, and he told us he fricked Kimmy Gibbler. That was awkward.

I had fever for aches for a day. Lost taste and smell for a few days…it’s slowly coming back. Have had cough for a few days. Honey helps at night.

Tested positive today. Yesterday felt like I had the flu. Bad muscle aches and fever. Today I had some aches. More of a light head cold. Before I got results, I took cold meds and they made me feel a lot better. One of my kids tested positive. She has 0 symptoms.

I saw a bad crash here in Atlanta. Called 911. Was put on hold with a recording saying to not hang up. -eye roll-

My grandfather is staying at a Holiday Inn off of Airline Hwy…I don’t know why. My grandmother is in her house thinking she will be safe because “Paw Paw nailed rosaries to the trees so they won’t fall”…and my aunt in St. Francisville is staying with her pets. I’m worried.

So young. My brother is a Marine and currently deployed. He said some of the Marines killed were from his ship. So sad.

My mom passed away almost 3 years ago from brain cancer. Sometimes it still doesn’t feel real that she’s gone. It sucks. You’ll have days of being ok and days that just rip you apart. Sometimes I just take time to go through photos, videos, listen to old voicemails….it hurts, but that’s my process. There is no timeline really. I’m sorry for your loss.

re: Any Personal Experiences with Safelite Windshield Replacement?

Posted by GeauxDouble on 4/12/21 at 9:37 am to Womski

1st time had to get a small chip replaced. Simple and quick.

2nd time I had to bring it to them to replace my windshield. It was going to take a while, so they got me an Uber back home. Sent another to pick me up and bring me back. No charge. It was great. :)
