Took him into another local vet last week who basically wanted us to go see oncologist after they did a needle biopsy and it was inconclusive. Or do labs etc. the vet office was charging a large amount. I talked to a friend who recommended Paw Project. I had never heard about it. Let me say the value of the labs was significantly cheaper and the appointments were not too far out. Was able to come in for the service we needed for a fraction of the cost. Everyone was super friendly; and took amazing care of our sweet boy. His labs came out great,

I made an appointment online and when I went in they were punctual in seeing Mr Fox my cat. They needed to take blood, but the machine went down, they were so apologetic, and called me personally the next day that the machine was replaced and I could bring him back in- which I did. The vet came out to go over the test results- Dr Elmore(sp?) amazing- I wish full service vets were as nice as these people!

Goodwill Tyrone opened Aug 31, 2017 in a brand new energy efficient building with a donation…read morecenter, large parking lot, a bike rack & a lot of excited residents. The associates are very friendly & helpful. I talked to one about all the funny clothing that can be found on the racks. We both agreed that if you're creative enough you can put together a costume from the clothing at Goodwill. As you can see in the photos I've taken, it really wouldn't be that difficult. Another cool thing about Goodwill is their arrangement of clothing by color. I needed an orange shirt, so it was really easy for me to quickly find what I needed. I noticed that they have LED motion sensing lights in the dressing room. The store is very clean because it is brand new. I hope it stays that way. Also, it's super easy to find a random assortment of things that can be used for arts & crafts projects. I found lots of tennis balls that can be used for games, put on the scratchy feet of a chair, thrown in the dryer, just google it. There's an assortment of strange old electronics as well. But by far the coolest thing about Goodwill is that it's helping our environment: Here's the truth, "The simplest step we can take is to wear our clothes for longer. Look after them, repair them, restyle and reinvent them, swap them with friends and pass them on. Just increasing the lifespan of our clothes reduces all of their environmental impacts; for greenhouse gases "doubling the useful life of clothing from one year to two years reduces emissions over the year by 24%", as does buying second hand clothes; every kilogram of virgin cotton displaced by second hand clothing saves approximately 65 kWh, or 90 kWh for polyester." http://www.greenpeace.org/international/Global/international/briefings/toxics/2016/Fact-Sheet-Timeout-for-fast-fashion.pdf Take this into consideration, "The manufacture of polyester and other synthetic fabrics is an energy-intensive process requiring large amounts of crude oil and releasing emissions... and other by-products of polyester production are emitted in the wastewater from polyester manufacturing plants. The EPA, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, considers many textile manufacturing facilities to be hazardous waste generators."

I started volunteering at Open Hand Atlanta around last year. There's multiple jobs you can…read morevolunteer for such as meal packing, food delivery, administration assistant, etc. It's a very easy process, all you do is sign up online on their website. Upon showing up at the facility, you will sign in on a computer then if you are brand new you will have a short class before volunteering so you can learn what to wear and what not, put on gloves, aprons and beard mask so you can prevent from hair contaminating the food in the kitchen. I usually volunteer for the meal packing position where you will be packing meals for about 2 hours for people who have dietary restrictions or just people in need. I find this a great opportunity to give back to our community. This company really relies on volunteers helping in the kitchen and they truly appreciate everything. They also have group sign up options so you can volunteer with your school, church group or work event. Anyways I definitely recommend for you to check it out! :)

My wife and I visited Open Hand Atlanta to volunteer our time for a couple of hours to prep meals…read more Open Hand provides nutritional meals for those with chronic diseases, such as AIDS/HIV, different forms of cancer, etc. These nutritional meals promote and prolong healthier way of life. Once you arrive and sign in, you'll be taken to a waiting room area, where Open Hand staff gives you a rundown of their history and what their mission is. You also get the rules of the prep room and are gifted a one of a kind hairnet, plastic apron, and men with facial hair gets face masks. No jewelry may be at any time. Rings, necklaces, earrings, facial piercings, watches, etc. can NOT be worn. There are different things that you can do at this space, but I wanted to do meal prep. We washed our hands and grabbed plastic gloves. Keep in mind, the gloves are different sizes. The meal prep was like an assembly line. The meal we prepped was Beef Stroganoff on Noodles with Green Beans. With a scale, the first person weighed the appropriate number for the noodles, the second person weighed the right number of beef stroganoff, and the third person weighed the right number for green beans. There is then a fourth person who wipes off any excess food from around the rim of the food container. This is important so the plastic cover will seal appropriately. It's then put in this contraption that holds multiple containers and a person press seals it and puts it to the side. This is definitely quite a process, but once you get into the flow of it, it becomes easier. Some people make it a challenge against another group to see who can make the most meals. Side note: THIS PLACE IS FREEZING! The ENTIRE BUILDING IS COLD! Bring a jacket or hoody. Overall, this is a great place to come with a group or by yourself and do some charitable services. Fortunately, we came with a large group of my wife's coworkers, so we were able to knock out over 2,500 meals which was awesome! I'd definitely come back.
