  1. I am looking for a singles group for folks that are over 40. Are there any that are currently active in Paulding? It's kind of difficult to get out and meet people when you have a busy schedule, and the bar scene isn't it. lol
  2. It looked really ugly. Hope all involved were OK. That is a bad intersection.
  3. I came through the intersection about an hour ago, and it looked like a very bad accident. Lots of emergency vehicles, and traffic was being detoured around it.
  4. We were coming home via Business 6 about an hour ago, and saw an accident involving a motorcycle below the courthouse, going toward Hiram. There was a lot of law enforcement and emergency vehicles there, and it looked as if someone was gravely injured. Hoping for the best for those involved, but it did not look good at all.
  5. GEAUX, TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A great game, all defense, between the two best teams in the nation. Period. Bring on Stanford or Oklahoma State (with that crappy defense and slow offense) against ANY SEC team in New Orleans - another title for our conference. Proud to be a Tiger!
  6. It sounds like you were very blessed and you must have many wonderful memories! Bless you!
  7. To all the girls who are in a hurry to have a boyfriend or get married, a piece of Biblical advice: " Ruth patiently waited for her mate Boaz." While you are waiting on YOUR Boaz, don't settle for any of his relatives; Broke-az, Po-az, Lyin-az, Cheating-az, Dumb-az, Drunk-az, Cheap-az, Lockedup-az, Goodfornothing-az, Lazy-az............ A nice, solid piece of wisdom.
  8. Agreed. I have a very strong feeling we'll be seeing him again. And you can coach for a rival team if the money and conditions are right - and if he brings the expertise, he will be accepted at that rival school. It's business - period.
  9. I visited the World Trade Center in the fall of 1996. We went into the vestibule of one of the towers - there was a wedding taking place there, and we stopped to watch - an interesting place to have a wedding. We wanted to go up to the observation area, but they wouldn't allow anyone up that day - there had been a Nor'easter the day before and the clouds were still very low - when looking up, we couldn't even see the tops of the buildings. It was heart-wrenching to watch such powerful structures fall, and much more so to think of the trapped souls inside. The memorial at the footprints of t
  10. Urban will be back - too young and too talented to hang it up so soon. Now THAT would be an acquisition.
  11. I agree - I want it to be competitive. And I haven't forgotten that Bama is lurking out there and will be a big snake to step over for LSU to win the West. Now, an interesting question: If Richt should be canned, any ideas about candidates to succeed him?
  12. The New York memorial was beautiful. And the Kennesaw Mountain tribute with the field of flags was very moving. God Bless America!!!!
  13. Very well said, and a good analysis of the way it works, especially in the SEC. This comes with schools that have strong traditions and legendary pasts. And I have to agree with you about Florida - Georgia loses that one and it will definitely be time for Richt to put out his resume. And there will be some top-notch program out there ready to pick him up.
  14. Carolina could win the East, but he's got to beat us in the West for the crown. Geaux, Tigers!
  15. I wouldn't say today was the nail in the coffin, but I think Richt is now officially on the hot seat. A great guy, that's for sure. But like any other high-profile program, they are looking to take it to the next level, and in very recent years, it just hasn't happened under Richt. Richt is a great coach - he made Bowden look good as offensive coordinator at FSU - as evidenced by the decline in that program after he left. Time will tell - Richt still seems to have a lot of alumni support. PS: After watching this game today, I see Georgia has some premium talent. As does Carolina. And
  16. This is kind of icky................and food for pedophiles. Ick, ick, and double ick.
  17. I sold recently to Criterion and can highly recommend them! Got a great price.
  18. Some really nice thoughts - very uplifting. Sometimes it's hard to remember that the glass if half full. Keep those heads up, everybody! One thing I have learned throughout the years is that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and it can come when you least expect it.
  19. I can only speak from personal experience. My daughter is not currently on meds - as a matter of fact, the doctor encouraged her to wean off of all of the meds she was prescribed by a private doctor, as she felt they made the problem worse. Her assumption was correct. The counseling does seem to help. I just hope that the OP gets help somewhere, wherever it can be managed. What's best for some is not best for all. And if you don't have insurance and/or limited resources, a private care provider can be very expensive - I have found this out the hard way.
  20. I do agree that the person in question has to be receptive to the idea of treatment. Thank goodness you sought help, and I pray that the OP's son will be willing to do so as well!
  21. Well, I'm glad this issue is cleared up. Although I'm not sure that the idea of thesexuality of the characters even occurred to their core audience anyway, unless it was suggested to them. Just a thought, right or wrong.
  22. I can vouch for Willowbrooke - they are wonderful there. Spunkywoman, I am praying for you. I have had a similar situation, and I understand what you are going through. We have since found Highland Rivers here in Hiram. They have counseling services and psychiatrists on staff, and they work on a sliding scale basis, very reasonable. There is help and hope. I can certainly assure you that your son is not alone, and knowing that fact alone can help so much. Depression can be very isolating, and it can be hard for the sufferer to acknowledge the problem and ask for help. Depression is an i
  23. Now see here............I was just sayin' how nice Paulding folks are..............LOL! jk - but I'll keep my pea shooter handy just in case a rabid Bulldog (or something) comes my way. Seriously, some nice caring folks on this board - and good luck to young Austin! He sounds like a very deserving young man.
