Highly, highly recommend Luanne Bonnie! She did the wills/estate packages for me, my husband, and his parents. She is thorough, kind, affordable, and right in the City of Decatur on Sycamore St. near Avondale MARTA. Web site is http://bonnielaw.com/.

Are those things glued down? With all the nuts flying down that street over the speed bumps, how is it that they are never knocked over or stolen?

Or put colorful tape on it or a fluorescent tag or some other identifying marker. Our baggage is always garish but hard to sneak off with!

Thanks to everyone for the good advice. Thankfully, they have located the laptop (that online form really worked!) and it’s waiting for him to pick up when he gets in tomorrow.

Actually not taking no for answer, is good advice. Had a bag missing on vacation for several days, airport insisted they did not have it, but I went down there in person and they let me look in the room, and I found it in less than a minute. My takeaway from that situation – never, ever, carry a black suitcase.

I’ll defer to anyone who knows for sure but I could swear I’ve read before that the phone companies want to get rid of the books as much or more than everyone else but that there’s some sort of regulation in place that says they have to distribute them. Or something like that.

Different story, I’m sure, with the “fake” phone books done by ad companies.

I wish instead of dropping books that they could just mail request forms or some similar approach that allowed people who wanted them, to call and ask for them. God knows how much paper they use printing those things that get tossed straight away by many. Last year after the drop off, immediately took them to the farmers market and the dumpsters were overflowing with them, and the spillover was piled up all over the ground.. What a waste.
