Thanks, all, for the info. While we are on the sub subject, I want to say I have tried the subs at Epic Pizza near the Cinema and they are excellent. The buns are made from a pizza-like dough and taste homemade. I had the italian one and also the steak. I also love their pizza. Prices are reasonable, too. I still have not made it to Firehouse Subs yet.

Are hunting numbers really dropping? Most folks I know have hunted for years and continue to hunt. And I see a growing number of youth hunting as well. In my area, all I see are hunters in deer season.

This is so true.

It's not just Dairy Queen that has a Super Star. I was in a local Dr. Office on Wednesday and I have to say that everyone I dealt with there was super friendly and professional. There were a lot of smiles and kindness. There were about 5 different people I interacted with there and all were great. A lot of times you don't see that. It was a very busy fast moving place and each person was very efficient and had a great attitude. Needless to say, going to the doctor's is hard enough, but when you are treated so nicely, it makes things so much more pleasant.

Thanks, all, for clarifying. Let me know if you try the subs.

So, has anyone tried the new sub place by Big Lots? I have been wanting to but didn't make it yet. The pictures of the sandwiches look good, and the commercials on T.V. look good. Not mentioning the name, but local folks know it.

Looks like we located the same man. Thanks for the research.

I did a little searching today on Find a Grave.com. A photo of the grave of an Abraham Lian, 1883 - 1952, was pictured. He would have been 68 or 69 when he died. The grave was in the Saint Catherine Cemetery in DuBois, PA. A man by the name of Edison B. Waite, Jr., had photographed it. He had a camp in this area at the time and had photographed many graves around here between 2007 and 2013. If Abraham Lian was the store owner, he probably had the store in the early to mid 1900's. If he wasn't the owner, perhaps he was a close family member of the owner, as his initials are the same.

While we are reflecting on the people who do such a good job in serving customers, I also wanted to relate what happened today, but it was on the customer side. I had to call Verizon today to ask some questions. Our business has to make some changes to our cell phone network soon and I needed some information. I spoke to a foreign woman with a heavy accent who was very helpful and was very accommodating. She answered my questions and even was able to give me a discount as we have been with Verizon a number of years. Before we hung up, she said my call was the first one of the day that was a good experience, and that her other calls so far were very difficult and she had to deal with a lot of irate customers. She was so thankful for a pleasant call, finally. It made me think of the times I have been somewhat short and irritated and how I probably made the customer service person feel. 99% of the time, it is not that person's, waitress', or technician's fault anyhow. Makes me want to try harder to be more kind when dealing with folks who serve us. We are all just out here trying to make a living, and its much more enjoyable if we are pleasant to one another.

Sorry I am late! I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Usually when we have a post like this, Netzlof has an answer for us.

I hear you. Unfortunately, everywhere you look, someone figures out how to find a loophole or a way to get around things, and steals the money. It's been going on since the serpent tricked Eve. And yes, it is up to us to stand up for what is right and bring to justice what is wrong. And yes, it won't end until God finally puts an end to the wrong. Until then, we are to be about our Father's business until He comes.

I love to hear these kinds of experiences.

My view is this: Everyone is welcome as long as they are working hard and paying taxes like the rest of us. And learning our language here. Any that are criminals need to be deported. And any that are against our constitution need deported. If they want to be here, they need to assimilate into our way of life here. That's what I would expect to do if I migrated to another country. And I also feel immigration needs to be done legally and regulated so that thousands of people don't pour in at one time like they had been doing. Thankfully, our President brought that to an end. We need to be able to address the problems of our own people who are already citizens first. I guess my views are similar to Constitutionalist.

Getting back to the Lowes subject, I have an interesting story. I got a microwave from there recently. The door wouldn't open on it when I got it home, so I took it back right away. Of course, I was within the return policy timeline, so they gave me credit and I got another one. Here, I find out from the salesperson that there is a little plastic screw head in the side of the microwave that you have to turn in order for the door to open. I guess this is a childproof lock that keeps the door from being opened if you have little ones you want to keep out. I didn't know I needed to disengage this thing so I could get the door open. Maybe I live under a rock and everyone else already knows this, but if you don't, now you do!
