I want equal opportunity deals!

Posted 08-10-2009 at 05:22 AM by sirron

I don't have a clunker. No discount for me on a new car. I don't have children. No tax breaks for me. I pick up my current ad from Lowe's. Well look: "Find hundreds of New Lower Prices in store". What about all the times I bought those same items at regular price? At a local department store, I can get an extra 15% if I use their credit card. I don't want their card; just the discount please.
Could we find a way to give equal opportunity discounts, hmmm?

I'm not a moderator anymore!

Posted 08-10-2009 at 01:00 AM by SandyCo

I'm not sure how to feel about that. I resigned voluntarily; I can't log on from work (darned firewalls!), and it felt too much like "work" to monitor things from home. I'd keep forgetting to check the forum, etc. Since I wasn't doing C-D any good, I resigned.

I had been a moderator here for 2 1/2 years, and I was asked to be one after only two months, so you can imagine how weird this is! I can't even remember what the non-mod screens looked like! Well, I guess...

Better Made Manufacturing Company

For more than thirty four years, Effort, Pa. was home to a very special manufacturing firm that emloyed as many as 60 people in this small, rural community. The Better Made Manufacturing Co., founded in 1949, made blouses that were sold in many stores locally, including K-Mart.

The blouse factory was owned and operated by Lawrence "Larry" C. Liero, Sr., better known to those around the village as "The Mayor of Effort". The son of Italian immigrants, Mr. Liero was...

Vermont in Review

We've enjoyed the scenic beauty of its rolling pastures, wooded highlands, and streaming waters. We've loved the old buildings, dams, and waterfronts. We've appreciated the street art, the storefronts, and it's definitely a book lover's paradise!

What has confused us is the people. Admittedly, we've noticed since Virginia that as we move north the public reception has gone from the Southern smiling greeting: "Hi, how're ya?" to a reserved nod, and in Maine the nod's disappeared...

Auf Wiedersehen

Posted 08-08-2009 at 09:33 PM by mams1559

Literally, this blog title means "until we meet again" or "good-bye for the present time". I find that most fitting for what I'm announcing here.

You know, I came to CD Forum green and naive as regards the acceptance and understanding of Christianity. I came here with a limited scope as compared to the vast differences that plague the Body of Christ. I thought everyone at least believed in Christ as a person and truly the only issue was whether one accepted him...
