Avalon Limo Service of Monroe – ask for Chris, the owner…he cares about his customers

Gwinnett County Fun, Recommendations

We had the pleasure of using Avalon Limousine Service of Monroe on Saturday of this past weekend.  The driver was a lady with a big smile and pleasant disposition.  The extended Ford Excursion was spotless on the inside and outside and looked new.

Okay, maybe the same thing could be said for others in the limo business.  What set Avalon apart was the owner, Chris Calhoun.  My oldest son left his Epipen injector for severe allergic reactions in the limo once he was dropped off for his formal in Duluth.  We were able to get Chris on the phone and set up a time to pick up the Epipen which Chris had secured from the limo.  Chris was able to meet me in Monroe a few minutes after midnight for the dropoff.  He was still working for other clients and had a run to make to Hartsfield-Jackson.  Chris was gracious and friendly in helping us get the medicine back in case we  needed it that night.  He was patient, never seemed perturbed, and was willing to accomodate my schedule.

I would recommend his service to anyone that needs limousine transportation.  I’d never met him before Saturday night and am glad that I did.

Here’s a link to their SuperPages.com page for reviews. Reach them by phone at 770-207-0677 or e-mail at chris@avalonlimoservice.com.

Maxie Price’s Service Department dudes are cool.

Corvette, Recommendations

If you need your vehicle serviced, give Phil Ferrara or Steve Kelly a call at Maxie Price Chevrolet in Loganville, Georgia. Phil stayed late on a Saturday to take care of my old Toyota with 186k miles on it.  He even had a good attitude.  He didn’t stay around just for me;  there were other nicer vehicles than mine that needed service too.  However, I didn’t get a rush job because my Avalon was an old beat up ride with interior parts falling off and a strange-smelling trunk. (Although, I did notice him using anti-bacterial rinse after shaking my hand.)

We have a Suburban that was purchased there new so I’ve got to know him and Steve.  They’ve been there several years and are professionals in the best sense of the word.

Forget about bending over picking up baseballs again – who needs that pain?

Gwinnett County Fun, Recommendations

My cousin, Clint Conley, is a private baseball instructor based in Gwinnett County, Georgia.  He has created and patented a device to hold baseballs for batting practice and easy transport.  It is perfect for soft toss – no more sitting on the ball bucket and reaching in it for the balls.  Sit on the top and reach under for the baseballs.  Another reason you might like one is that it also acts as a ball retriever.  Kinda like a tennis ball retriever except for baseballs.

Clint has had to get 20 or so patents on this creation.  Here’s a link to his website with all of his contact information, photos, and video demonstrations.  Very cool and saves your back.

If you have any kinds of allergies, especially food-related, you should take a peek at this website and get on their allergy alert e-mail list.  When an allergen is found contaminating a food and has not been stated on the package or somehow a processed food has mistakenly been in contact with a known allergen, this group will issue and e-mail alerts.  This is a cool service and potentially life-saving.  Check out the website.  You can choose to receive e-mails on the front page.

You can get Special Allergy Alerts from the Food and Anaphylaxis Network which is handy if your family deals with these.

I just had a buddy break out in hives all over his body and have swelling of his lips and tongue. He works in the printing industry and, so far, it’s  looking like a latex allergy.  He even has irritation in his mouth when he eats kiwis, bananas, and tomatoes.  Robert even had to get an Epipen shot.

Check out the American Latex Allergy Association for more information on latex allergies.  They even have a link to cross-reactive foods.

Meeler Strikes Again

Donnie Meeler Septic Tank Services, Georgia, Gwinnett County Growth and Development, Home Ownership Issues, Recommendations

Donnie Meeler of Meeler Septic Services called and said he would be here the next day to service my septic system and make an upgrade that he had been thinking about lately.  He showed up on time, cleaned the filters, and made sure everything was allright………..just like he said he would.  If you need help with a septic or alternative septic system, try him out.  He came highly recommended to me by somebody who knows this stuff inside and out and he could probably help you out a jam and save you money.  Try him at 770-231-1421, or meeler05@yahoo.com.
