In 1904, Thomasville sold only one product--a chair. Today, this furniture retailer has grown from one store to more than 150 independently-owned home furnishing stores and more than 400 leading independent retail stores. <br />
<br />
Thomasville has home furnishings like living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, office furniture, entertainment centers, and more. Design consultants are on site and available through home calls to guide you through the maze of colors, fabrics, textures, and more. The Raleigh location, in Brier Creek, is a two-story showroom that will inspire you. <br />
<br />
The Raleigh store also carries Drexel Heritage and Henredon furniture. Other Thomasville showrooms in North Carolina include Greenville, Jamestown, and Pineville. Collections include the popular Ernest Hemingway®, Fredericksburg, Cinnamon Hill, and Modern Theory. New collections are introduced twice a year. Floor samples and clearance items are available, particularly at this time of year (after the High Point Furniture Market). A great financing program and gift cards are also available. <br />
<br />
Even though Memorial Day comes at the end of the month, Thomasville has something very special to offer you and your family--the Memorial Day Sale starts right now! They offer huge savings with some extra-special savings on several sofa frames. And don't forget the wide selection of area rugs, wall art, accessories, and custom soft goods with no interest financing (with payments) through January 2014. <br />

From one mother to another,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are awesome and rock like no other.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Proud parent that you are,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are one to count on, no matter how far.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thank God my mother is still alive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Without her I wouldn’t be able to even drive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is 84 and still going strong.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Though she has her moments, in my eyes, she can do no wrong.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love my mother with all my heart.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is my middle, my end, and my start.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers everywhere!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mothers are a gift to everyone and they really do care!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instead of having just one day dedicated to Mother’s Day; </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Why not celebrate Mother’s Every Day? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mothers cook, clean, raise children, work, and take care of everything else aboard. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But, mothers deserve constant recognition and never-ending reward. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mothers need love, devotion, and attention so we can continue to grow. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because being a good mother requires many sacrifices you never even know. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Watching “An Imitation of Life,” I learned exactly what sacrifice really means. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Looking at my mother, now 84, I realize my sacrifices to her mean nothing but beans. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Being that I don’t have to struggle like she did while she raised me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And understanding how blessed I am to still have her, is quite easy to see. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With life so full of uncertainties and the world out-of-control today. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My recommendation…Praise our Mother’s Every Day. </div>
<br />

Looks like Dorian and Ray may have some sparks flying, instead of just objects in her living room. <br /><br />And Gigi has good reason to be worried about her little sister, Stacy, since Stacy overheard Layla talking to Christian about Rex's wild past.Onemargarethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09704354019983784555noreply@blogger.com84tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952864571458395195.post-33040121126664591352009-03-04T23:44:00.005-05:002009-03-05T00:25:56.802-05:00Krystal Marries David on "All My Children"<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9eoxwLOyCsE/Sa9bc5sbilI/AAAAAAAAAbg/n57wlCKnnLI/s1600-h/Krystal+on+All+My+Children.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 175px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_9eoxwLOyCsE/Sa9bc5sbilI/AAAAAAAAAbg/n57wlCKnnLI/s320/Krystal+on+All+My+Children.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5309563037774744146" /></a><br />Even though Krystal knows David is the father of Amanda's baby, she still goes through with the wedding. Meanwhile, Tad and Jake race Amanda to the hospital after she tells them she's spotting. <br /><br />Now, that Amanda's scheme is revealed, JR is back on the bottle. Feeling guilty for abandoning Amanda, JR promises to protect her and their "child." Poor JR, he really is the village idiot! <br /><br />What will happen next? Will JR be kept from the truth forever? Or will David step in and claim what is rightfully his? Is Krystal in for another surprise? Too bad she didn't read those "pre-nuptial agreement" papers David asked her to sign just minutes before they said, "I do!"

Now, that Spinelli is free from the FBI, Jason has made the Zaccharas and Sonny their main focus. Being Sonny, he is determined to stick with the Zaccharas until his mission is accomplished. To bring down the person or persons who are responsible for Michael's shooting. <br /><br />In comes Sam, who's determined to help Jason gather evidence against Anthony Zacchara, whether he likes it or not. Seems like Sam and Jason are always drawn together for one reason or another. Do you see a possible reconciliation in the works? <br /><br />And, once again, poor Patrick has his hands full with Robin, who refuses to believe she has post-par tum depression and needs to talk to a professional. after giving birth to their daughter. Good luck! <br /><br />Nikolas tells Alexis that he still misses Emily and that even though he likes Nadine, he isn't in love with her. And, even though Maxie has feelings for Matt, she tries to convince Spinelli that his friendship means everything to her and she won't get involved. Yeah, right! You and I know better than that! <br /><br />And, it looks like another GH tragedy gets the countdown.

Of course, Bess still tries to interfere. <br /><br />Marty continues to be defiant with John, her son, Cole, and Nora. Seems, Ms. Thang is out-of-control and doesn't care much about anything or anybody. Now, Cole is, once again, turning to drugs and its up to Starr to save him. <br /><br />Brody is still struggling with the memory of the boy and whether or not he had a gun, when he was shot. Wes finally tells Brody that he lied and that the boy was unarmed when he was shot by Brody.<br /><br />Poor, David. He is attempted by Dorian, but he doesn't give in to lust. Now, Dorian is determined to get David to marry her by any means possible.

As Reese describes the mysterious ring that Josh was wearing, Erica suddenly realizes that Josh may be back in town to stir up trouble with Zach. Just a Erica gets back to her suite and starts discussing her findings with Bianca and Reese, Josh steps out of the shadows with a gun! Thus, Zach and Josh end up pointing a gun at each other. Who will survive? <br /><br />And, Krystal breaks down on the witness stand, while trying to convince the judge that she should keep custody of Jenny. When the judge grants full custody of Jenny to Tad, Mr. Martin suddendly has a change of heart and allows Krystal visitation, without David or the pills. Furthermore, if Amanda's pregnancy test proves positive, is David or JR the daddy?Onemargarethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09704354019983784555noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952864571458395195.post-31228954663843347592008-12-12T13:00:00.001-05:002008-12-12T13:00:28.173-05:00Take a Look at Some of the First Soap Operas<b>Take a Look at Some of the First Soap Operas</b><br>This is just a small sample of the many soaps that made their way to primetime and daytime television.<br><a href="http://www.associatedcontent.com/slideshow/8520/take_a_look_at_some_of_the_first_soap.html">http://www.associatedcontent.com/slideshow/8520/take_a_look_at_some_of_the_first_soap.html<img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bHQ9MTIyOTEwNDc3NTA5OCZwdD*xMjI5MTA*ODIyNjQ*JnA9NDExODYxJmQ9Jm49YmxvZ2dlciZnPTEmdD*mbz*xMGZiNTAyN2E5NjU*OTkwOTQ4ZGZiMzcyZjYxNTFmNw==.gif" />Onemargarethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09704354019983784555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952864571458395195.post-49270760072015004352008-12-12T12:50:00.001-05:002008-12-12T12:50:20.679-05:00Soap Opera History: Why the TV Shows are Called "Soap Operas"<b>Soap Opera History: Why the TV Shows are Called "Soap Operas"</b><br>In the 1920s, radio desperately wanted advertisers to take part in increasing station ratings and profits.

Thus, he tells the doctor, who delivered Starr's baby girl to give the baby back to Starr. He no longer wants to kidnap his grandchild. <br /><br />Now that Marty has fallen in love with Todd, John puts his career on the line as he crashes through Todd's bedroom window, where he comes face-to-face with "dead" Marty Saybrooke.<br /><br />With Tess's baby born dead, Jessica now has a new alter, Bess.

He is going to get himself killed if he keeps going after Karpov, who, by-the-way, did not shoot Kate. Anthony Zacchara did and Sonny is playing right into his hands!
