When I was growing up in Statesboro, Hardee’s was a treat (it’s a law that every small town in South Georgia has to have a Hardee’s – look it up). I can remember the smells of the restaurant, the shakes (always strawberry), and the hamburgers had a certain flavor a little different (maybe the sauce?) from McDonalds, Burger Chef, Burger King, Dairy Queen, and Wendy’s. (That was about it for small-town South Georgia hamburger joints.)
You know that you’re home at Chick-fil-A.
I did sample the new Chik-fil-A Spicy Sandwich – it was good and had a little kick to it. I was part of a new promotion but it looked like they weren’t making a big deal of it at the Lawrenceville restaurant.
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.
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.
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.
Have you had the pleasure of a septic tank or alternative system refusing to pump raw sewage anymore? After living in our home for about 11 years, a 88,000 amp lightning bolt was determined to have struck within a quarter of a mile of my house. The fellow that the insurance company sent out was able to pinpoint it by some historical data that his company has access to. Anyway, our alternative system that had worked well for many years quit. This bolt fried the motherboard and I was surprised at how few firms were authorized by the manufacturer to work on these.
I finally ended up contacting Donnie Meeler of Meeler Septic Service after getting a recommendation from a friend of my father-in-law. Donnie determined what options that we had and then figured out the most cost-effective way to approach the problem considering the various factors involved.
He ended up being able to customize a system for our home that is more efficient and reliable than the previous one. These systems require maintenance to perform properly. I watched him do some of it today. Trust me, the units have filters for a reason and the filters need cleaning regularly. It’s a smart idea to try and find little issues before they become major problems. He does that too on a regular basis.
Anyway, I know sometimes it is hard to find good, reliable people to help solve your problems. If one of yours is a septic system or alternative septic system, give Donnie a call at (770) 231-1421 or e-mail him at meeler05@yahoo.com. They even do hauling work.
This is not a paid endorsement or a guarantee of any work duly performed. Just thought you might need some help like I did not too long ago.
