  1. I thought you were going to tell me to move. lol. I like this county. But I like it just as it is. No more of anything needed (that is capital outlay). If they hike out property tax anyway, you will please PM me your address so I can TP your house. You can keep the TP, which I will buy locally. I am cutting back on my purchases, though, but not out of spite. I will give my $.01 to this county, just only for necessities. Not a bad way to be in this economy.
  2. Don't do it Sound Guy. Don't act like they won't raise it anyway. Let me sleep on it.
  3. I am, however, going to complain about the ESPLOST (in case you didn't see my rant on the fastread page). That was STUPID. Why in the world did you vote us a tax increase? You do realize that you cost us our ability to write off what we pay extra for property tax right? And that you won't get ANY BENEFIT by paying more for what you buy, right? I don't mind you folks choosing representatives, but I am super irritated that I have to live with your stupid ESPLOST vote AGAIN. You people NEVER LEARN. Jeez. Dang it. Going to bed. Mad.
  4. Passing the ESPLOST was not very smart. You folks just gave up our chance to write off our losses as a property tax paid deduction. Now you (and I) will pay more for everything we buy and will not get any real benefit from it. You will NOT save as much by losing the tax deduction and not paying more sales tax. Dumb, dumb, dumb. I wish that issue would have been an independent decision and not a county decision because I don't trust you folks to think things out.
  5. So many of the races were blowouts. I think it had less to do with candidates and more to do with parties. I do understand people's sentiments as far as that is concerned, I am just worried we threw out the baby with the bathwater. I don't know that I would consider any of them a personal victory. It was more of a party statement. The majority of us are tired of the way things are. I can live with that. I still stand by my personal votes, but I will live with yours. (Without being a jerk about it either way. That doesn't honor anybody.)
  6. Now I feel a little bad about teasing because it must be important if they are offering a reward. I hope nobody took their wedding ring off before they went into the bar and put it in the pocket. (Sorry, can't help it. I do hope you find the person who has your jacket.)
  7. Maybe. They still have it marked "Yes". If not exit polls, maybe wishful thinking. Or maybe it is rigged. Amendment 3 - Multi-year Transportation Contracts No 989,971 51% Yes 968,434 49% Precincts reporting: 72% Last Updated on November 02, 2010 at 11:39 PM
  8. and she gave out cough drops. I'm not going to say what area, but it would be a good idea to check all the candy in the bag instead of just checking over the good candy (that you want to eat yourself). Just thought I would mention it. I kept the cough drops for myself, btw. Thanks!
  9. I'm not going to dog our county's choice for any elected position. I just like you people a little less. lol.
  10. How can this be correct from Fox news results? Amendment 3 - Multi-year Transportation Contracts No 883,752 51% Yes 863,430 49 They said it passed. It can't have passed if more people voted no, can it? http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/generic/news/politics/general-election-results-statewide-amendments-judicial
  11. Yup. You think anybody is that smrat around here? I would really hope not. I am thinking it was short-sightedness. Although, as someone else said, why not have twice the machines if you have half the places? It just makes good sense, even if you don't use all of them. It may help one thing I voted against and hurt one thing I voted for unless they let every person in line vote. I will now do absentee ballot. THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS! Many of you are retired persons. Thank you very much for your time today.
  12. THAT is a good question. I hope nobody gets snotty with that sweet older lady that works at the voter registration office, but I would like to know. You think it was a strategy? Did it save money? Who said it was OK? Did we vote on it? I have about ten questions. I got the day off to vote so I voted early this morning, but I feel horribly for the people who work in Marietta or ATL that had to drive home then vote (or not get to vote). I'm a little suspicious now if this was planned or just stupidity. Politics makes me suspicious. I'm usually oblivious. There better not be a g
  13. I hope everybody gets to vote. I am a little worried this situation could cause a stink with the results.
  14. From the official White House page: " So I'll just -- let me just say a few things and then go through the schedule. First of all, as you’ve heard me say a number of times, we believe that Asia is critical to our foreign policy strategy. It’s the fastest-growing markets in the world. It’s fundamental to our export initiative. So India is a cornerstone of our broader Asia approach, which is focused on, again, expanding exports for U.S. goods, deepening partnerships in important part of the world, partnering together in the G20 and other forums -- which Mike has the pleasure of representi
  15. I was wondering. Do you think it is better for people to vote if they haven't informed themselves or not vote at all? I am such a big believer in everybody gettting out to vote, but your post really made me think maybe it is better if some people don't. Would you really vote if you had no idea what was on the ballot? Do you think some people vote that have no idea?
  16. Wow. How can some of us have a polite conversation and others can't? I find SOLO to be civil and informed and worth reading. I don't hold anybody's vote against them and I hope they give me the same respect. It isn't even worth communicating with people who can't understand differences. I love some of the people on the other side of this and am not so fond of people who are voting like I am in this instance. I am going back to my side of the aisle after this FOR GOOD! "I'm sorry." So much shorter and so much more likely to be read and understood and appreciated.
  17. Do a mix tape (CD). That will get used. Burn a pretty label on it and make a cute case. We are spending our Christmas money on travel, not things, this year. We are making memories and not clutter. I have too much stuff already.
  18. Ghetto. Actually first used as a term to describe moving the Jews to constrained areas before they started murdering them outright. I try not to use that word. I don't go there because I despise movie talkers and seat kickers. I only go in the middle of the night on first release nights hoping all the kiddies are in bed already.
  19. Have you even read the Amendment? Don't go vote if you don't have a good reason. My god.
  20. I'm torn. Serving the citizens of your state should enrich your life, not be a death sentence to a personal life. I feel bad that is the way it is, but is that how it HAS to be or SHOULD be? Maybe the political process should change, not the photo-sharing of a family. But I'm a simple person. No political savvy over here. Someone misused their pictures. I can't hold that against them or blame them for it. It would be like blaming someone for identity theft ~ you know they can get your information online, but I use amazon.com all the time anyway...
  21. I bet they would rather have the cash.
