Atlanta, Georgia

Does anyone know any poly-friendly psychiatrists in the Atlanta area? Could really use one...

Does anyone have any recommendations for affordable photographers, bakeries and musicians (trumpeteers or harpists) that would do weddings in Kennesaw?

Hello fellow ATL-ians... Thanks for the responses I got last time... but I am still looking for the perfect Chinese Buffet! I have compiled a list of the ones I was able to find and thought perhaps if any of you had been to them or had heard the "word on the street" you could help me out... my budget and waistline will not allow me to try them all out. If anyone has thought of any new ones, throw them my way as well. Soon I will have the ultimate answer to the ultimate buffet question!

Here is my list so far:

Grand Buffet - 2625 Piedmont Rd. (at Sidney Marcus)
New Century Buffet - 1418 Scott Blvd. in Decatur
King Buffet - 3303 Buford Hwy
China Buffet - 2887 N. Decatur Rd.
Oriental Pearl - 5399 New Peachtree Rd. in Chamblee
Buffet 2000 (AKA Super China Buffet?) - 5000 Memorial Dr. in Stone Mountain
China One International Buffet - 5975 Roswell Rd. NE #245 in Sandy Springs
Q Q China Bufett - 4394 Hugh Howell Rd. in Tucker
Formosa Chinese Buffet - 5134 Old National Hwy
New China Buffet - 6198 Memorial Dr. in Stone Mountain
New China Buffet - 1355 Roswell Rd. #900
New China Buffet - 425 Ernest Barrett Pkwy

Does anyone know where I could find size 16/17 steel-toed work boots in the area? I know where a few big & tall stores are, but I don't know if they'd carry boots.

Hey is there a place for Kareoke in Decatur or tucker for Kareoke tonight (tuesday)?

For those living in Atlanta...I am needing to move back to Atlanta, and I need a place to move to. All I need is a room (I might need a little bit of storage space other than a room...depending on its size).

I do not yet have a job down there, but I have some potentials. The soonest I would need the room is 3/1/06. I could stay there temporarily until I get my finances in order, or I could stay on as a roommate.

My trouble is that I do not have the money for a security deposit. All of the jobs I have a potnetial at are in Norcross, so I would prefer something in Norcross, Tucker, Doraville, Dunwoody, Chamblee, northern Decatur, North Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Duluth, etc.

I am fairly quiet. I am a spiritual person, I work full time and do massage therapy on the side (so, I will be working about 50 hours a week). I do not get many friends visiting. I do not smoke or do drugs or drink. I eat mostly vegetarian meals, I may eat meat about once a month or less.

I can afford about $500 (after paying for utilities, internet, etc).

Is anyone able to help me out, or abnle to point in the direction of someone who can

1) Does anyone know of someone who does ayurvedic massage in Atlanta? It was an Emory student who asked me, so closer to Emory would probably be better.

2) Has anyone ever been to any of the female massage therapists at the Decatur-Dekalb YMCA? If so, who is your favorite and why?

Thanks.

Ok, here is the deal: The current laws allow you to use money in an IRA for the purchase of a first home. I don't currently have an IRA, but i do have a lot in my 401k, fully vested. I am going to rollover the maximum allowed amount of money ($10,000) from my 401k into an IRA so that i may withdraw it for a down payment on the home. This excludes me from the penalty tax, but i still must pay income tax on the money at going rate (20% i think). SO, there are some things I am unclear about on this. If any of you could help me, that would be awesome. If I can help you by telling you more about the first time home buyer exception, click here: http://www.fool.com/money/allaboutiras/allaboutiras12.htm

1.) Traditional IRAs have yearly contribution limits. Does this apply in the case of a rollover?
2.) Roth IRAs are tax free and also allow the home buyer exception. However, taxes charged on the money withdrawn from a traditional IRA for a first time home can be itemized. What is the better deal?
3.) What is the average time frame for a rollover/withdraw?
4.) What kind of expenses should i budget for as fees?
5.) Do any of you have experience doing this?

awesome. thanks!
