  1. Does anyone know of anyone who cuts mens hair and for a small additional fee will do so in someone's home? I know of a couple of people (one in-between surgeries, one elderly, etc) who can't really get out to get their hair cut currently and could use that type of service. Must be verifiable. If anyone knows of someone who does this in the West Cobb area please message me with their info. Thank you.
  2. I was talking about *NEW* Macland - in Powder Springs.
  3. Ok, this is West Cobb not Paulding, but does anyone know what all the road stuff is that's going on, on New Macland Road just up from Richard Sailors? Signs say "utility construction" - no mention of it on Powder Spring's web site. I've heard two things but can't find an answer... 1) Getting ready to widen the road to put a turn lane in the middle - this is prep for that coming whenever... or 2) Google or AT&T are installing fiber optic lines for their super high speed broadband in the area. Anyone know which one this is, or another not mentioned?
  4. I'm sorry... while I realize there ARE some bad cops who HAVE committed murder, and yes, changes need to be made on some level in the hiring practices to weed out potential psychos who are taking the job just to play cop instead of being serious about protecting all... there is a much, much larger problem with black-on-black crime in this country that the black community and their so-called "leaders" are not even attempting to seriously address or admit to. 2,000 black men shot and/or killed in Chicago alone last year by other black men, and disproportionately higher in all major cities co
  5. It's not. If someone protests on the side of the road or in front of a building peacefully, they are a protester. If they block streets so ambulances, fire trucks, and police cannot quickly respond to emergencies, then they are endangering lives, and effectively become a domestic terrorist. And should be arrested the MOMENT they do so.
  6. 1 hour ago the Paulding Sheriff Facebook page did post an update which addresses this... https://www.facebook.com/PauldingSheriff/
  7. I tried Bostons... won't be going back. The food was decent and the guy (owner) who cooks does an ok job.... but the service is horrible and the place is HOT due to a lack of air flow and the grill being right there. I had read a couple of online reviews before where people complained about the heat but since the reviews were a few weeks old I decided to try it hoping they had the issue fixed. They did not. Went with a friend. We sat down and the young girl who was waiting tables spent several minutes dealing with putting to-go orders together and took a long while before she even
  8. I'm about to sound like an old fart.... but what about a Piccadilly Cafeteria? As someone pointed out, the Golden Coral on Barrett has had sanitary issues in the past and that outbreak they had - they never really found the source of the bacteria other than around a drain in the floor (yet I think two customers actually died from it). I've never heard of health issues at a Piccadilly - assume they're still in business. I would also second the motion of a Sweet Tomatoes though... although the one on Barrett has slipped a bit in the last couple of years.
  9. It also doesn't hurt to suppliment the free antivirus with "Malwarebytes" - a free program that can find things the virus programs can't. Been around a long time and has a good reputation: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html (usually no need for the premium version - free works fine for most). During the install, decline allowing it to install the free trial to the premium version and just choose the free one.
  10. The bedside manner of who I dealt with was ok. But the center I went to is very busy and they do rush you through and don't want to spend a lot of time answering questions. I know doctors are busy and can't play 50 questions with each person, but if a tube with a laser is about to be shoved up in me I don't want someone coming in with the mentality, "Ok, you have one question and 15 seconds - GO!". Without going into details, my beef mainly was that I was told the doctor themselves were going to do the thing but midway through I suddenly discovered they were allowing their "she barely looks
  11. About 2 + years ago I had asked for a recommendation for a vein doctor on the West metro side of town, as I knew I needed to most likely get that laser thing done to the inside of my leg due to vein/circulation issues. A recommendation was made and I used them, but um, that doctor messed up (long story). I wound up in worse condition than before - I won't mention names other than they were with Vascular Surgical that operates out of the hospital in Austell and out of Paulding Hospital. There are however, other doctors associated with it who might be good - I just don't know. So the poin
  12. Looks like apartments the last time I went by. If by chance you drive by it see if you can see a sign with the name of them - it'll be a few before I get back up that way. Thanks.
  13. I did see signs in their window in PS for a trivia night as well as a bingo night, too. Not sure which night for each, though.
  14. Just FYI folks - there is a new Johnny's Pizza in Powder Springs now. I know at least one of the Hiram owners is also the owner there, too. It opened last week in the small strip center that's in front of the Home Depot in Powder Springs off of Richard Sailor's Parkway. Just FYI in case you need a Johnny's fix and are closer to that one than Hiram.
  15. If you're heading toward Hiram from the Powder Springs area, there is some construction to the right off of 278 behind those brick business center buildings. Looks like apartments (?) but I haven't been up that way in a couple of weeks. Anyone know if that's what those are and their name if so? I know someone moving to the area in 2-3 months maybe and they would like something that's new(er).
  16. So I'm guessing there aren't any good doctors actually with offices inside any of the Walmarts/Targets anymore, huh?
  17. Months ago a couple of people recommended eye doctors but something came up and I couldn't afford to go. I know that doctors change locations often so wanted to ask for an update if I could because I want to go ahead and make an appointment with one to update my glasses. I think someone said the doctor at the Walmart off of 120 was good - is that still the case? I know the doctors are independant of stores they are in. I would prefer to go to a Walmart or Target just because it's more convenient to where I live. So any comments on which location has the better docs, please? Thank y
  18. Update Friday: Well, we exhausted stuff on our end. We tried myself, a friend of mine, and a woman coworker over there - the Dog acts like it WANTS to come up to people, but runs before you can get closer to it than about 20 feet. I was hoping it would respond better to a woman but didn't seem to work. It goes back for food if you leave it out once you walk away, but not anywhere close when you're there. I tried Cobb Animal Control (again). They claimed they were going to send two trucks out, one with a "net" they use to catch dogs that won't come up to them, but I can't seriously
  19. Yeah, if you do see it on Dogwood or Red Oak try to see if you can with treats, get it to come up with you - take a leash if you can remember to, and if there is ANY way to contain the dog until Animal control can get it, call them at 770-499-4136. There is always a chance animal control actually has shown up but if it's afraid of men or people in general and runs there won't be anything they can do in the open. If someone can contain the dog in a yard or room (safely) then they can better be able to leash it and take it in. Just remember that it's still a stray and even though I'm fa
  20. To my knowledge no one else has. Someone sent me a private message saying they might try but I haven't heard back from them so I'll assume they didn't make it over there yet. A coworker of mine says if she has time she "might" drive through there to look for it, but I'm not sure of that either. Like anyone, if you can please do, but if I hear anything from anyone I'll post it too.
  21. See my first post. They've been called multiple times. Even today. According to people on the street they never showed up today at all - the Dog is still there. And the attitude of the dispatcher was pretty much, "I want to be anywhere BUT taking this call right now" so I'm not even sure she dispatched someone. I know that at least two people have tried to entice the Dog to them - it seems friendly but very skiddish. Both were men though, so as I said, maybe a woman would have better luck. The house it's hanging around more than the others I think has some people working on it during
  22. Added: As of 4pm it's still on Red Oak alternating between two homes across from each other. No one seems to know who it might have belonged to. It won't come up to males - no woman around to get to try. Neighbor went up with biscuits and it'll eat them when the man walks away but backs off when he gets near again. According to people there they never saw animal control on the street today so apparently no one came to respond to the call made earlier. So per the earlier comment, if there is anyone who has the magic touch with strays feel free to give it a try - I've exhausted what I can
  23. For close to two weeks I've seen a black and white Border Collie mix, maybe around 40 lbs, around the area - assumed to be a stray. It seems friendly but skiddish toward people. Can't get it to come up to me but maybe it's afraid of men. Have called Cobb animal control three times over this period and they say they'll send someone out but I'm not sure if they are or not - they sound like they could give a crap when I call, so... If you know anyone in West Cobb who has lost a dog that fits this description or if you're bored and want to TRY to round it up, it's been hanging out around t
  24. Well... as my Grandpa used to say, "It's not what you say, it's how you say it". I'm surprised so many people are confusing free speech with slander, though. It's one thing to say you don't like gays (or blacks, or asians, or...), but after reading all of his comments, I know that I would be personally offended if I were on that list - he wasn't just saying he disapproved of someone or a group - he was kinda sorta slanderous about it. There is a difference. But regardless, people forget, TV stations are businesses. The reality show actors are their employees. I've worked in a fai
