How is the job market in Cookeville, Tenn compared to Southeastern Michigan?
Question:
Attempting to get a "real" job in Michigan is a futile pursuit. Is Tennessee much better?
Answer:
Well, Cookeville is a smaller town. So you may not have a lot of luck, especially since many factories have shut down in the last year leaving lots of people job-hunting. However, if you are willing to commute to nearby cities such as Nashville or Knoxville, you may find something. Try looking at job listings on some of the on-line job sites, and try searching for Tennessee newspapers and looking at their classifieds. That may give you an idea of what you are up against. What kind of a job are you looking for?

What's the best route for an out of state move?
Question:
My family is moving from Louisiana to Tennessee. I looked into PODS, but they don't operate in our area of Ten. (Cookeville). It would cost us roughly $850 to use U-Haul and to pack ourselves and this isn't including gas. Does anyone know of any other ways? We set aside only $1000 for the move. We have a 3 bedroom house to move, but no big kitchen items (like fridge and washer and dryer), just living room and bedroom furniture and other household items. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Answer:
Actually moving it yourself is the cheapest way UNLESS it is a Local move.
So far you have gotten one of the cheapest rates out there for self moves.
Here is a rule of thumb to follow:
If your furniture is actually worth less then the cost to move it---don't!
Have a yard sale and then when you get to your new home buy
new or used which ever you can afford
You can always look for coupons or coupon codes ( on the internet) to get discount rates or special rates from self move companies like Budget, UHaul, Penske. Ryder.
We used Penske( because I got a great discount at the time)
Apply for a gas card and use it for the trip. You can pay it off over time.
Remember to Keep ALL expense receipts because you can deduct this move off your income tax ----rental truck, food, hotels, gas or milage deduction, job search, airline tickets if they were part of it etc.
Good Luck

is this normal in a tongue piercing???
Question:
ok hi!well i just got my tongue pierced i i was wondering if some of these things are normal or if i need a longer post.when i push up on the bottom ball it make a suction sound,my tongue has a white coating over it,abd the ball sinks half-way into my tongue when it sits.but i just got it pierced saturday so it is still swelling.and thing you can tell me about tongue piercings would be helpful.oh and i got a 14 gage tongue ring.i don't know the length but if you would know the length of a 14 gage professionally pierced tongue ring then that would really help me.plus i got it pierced at alley cat studio in cookeville tennessee thanks alot for the help if you really try.much love-kayla
plus if you could tell me ways to bring down the swelling and other info that would be helpful i would greatly appreciate it
Answer:
that's normal. It will feel weird for about a week. If it's still bothering you after a week, go back to your peircer. To bring down the swelling, you could take a tylenal, helps with the pain too, and just drink lots of cold drinks, or popcycles, try to stay away from ice cream, milk products arn't the best idea right now. Rinse your mouth with an antibacterial mouth mouth, and don't smoke, or kiss, or drink beer. Once you get used to it, you'll love it..i love mine!

Should Democratic candidates return the favor and fight fire with fire?
Question:
Tommy Burks (May 22, 1940 – October 19, 1998) was a farmer and Democratic party politician in Tennessee, USA. He served in the Tennessee House of Representatives from 1970 until 1978, and in the Tennessee State Senate from 1978 until his murder in 1998.
Burks was murdered by his Republican Party opponent Byron Looper less than a month before his likely re-election.
SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Burks
Born in Cookeville, Tennessee, Burks was one of the most conservative Democrats in the state legislature. He opposed the teaching of evolution in school science classes (twice introducing legislation to restrict its teaching), legal abortion, gambling, and a state lottery.
Seems it must have been interfering with gambling money that caused Republicans to assassinate him. Everything else that he stood for are the things they rant about supporting.
> hardwoodrods........ How do you know it wasn't? What PROOF do you have that it wasn't? This case has been tried. Proof has been presented.
And you are not giving an answer the the question posed.
> Dumb Soldier (proper name).... I take it that you are in favor of abortion rights then huh?
It kinda hurts to see the dirty lowlife party that you support when it is undeniable doesn't it?
> hawk0810 Really? Then I'm sure you have a good reason/excuse for why the Republican Party wasn't spending any money on advertising and Looper was so confident he would win (do to not having anyone to oppose him in the election) that he didn't even campaign? Or how the gun used on him by Looper came from another Republican politician in the same county? Or how it was passed to Looper by a police officer that just happened to be a member of the Putnam County Republican Party?
You've got all of the answers/excuses, & reasons. Tell Y!A all about it..........
> peanuts ........The question is posted above. Simple enough.
> becksbear....... I didn't know anyone had been charged or convicted of any of the "PROOFS" you offer. Are you saying that the Republicans killed all of those people too?
I have to admit......... The Republicans have become such weasels that every time on of the people that they have supported and put into office gets found out for what he truly is, they all go running and screaming..... "He wasn't one of US!"
Then why in the hell did you support him to begin with? Have you no insight? Is that the problem? Blind in one eye and can't see out the other? What a bunch of wormy sad-sacks. So money hungry that they would promote Satin himself if it gave them control of the political arena.
Answer:
this story proves the fact that republicans will do whatever they need to to win anything and would kill just so kids wouldnt know what evolution was
