Keep away from the Hiram Station and the bar that is infront of it. One is a biker bar and the other (seems to me) caters to the younger crowd.
If you want a nice atmosphere I would go to the one that everyone else mentioned. It would be quieter.
P.S. I'm not putting down the above bars in Paulding County.

When I lived in Colorado and wanted to move back to Georgia my X was fine with it, until he got a wild hair up his butt and took me to court and tried to get me as an unfit mother and when he lost that court case two weeks later he had me in court again to try and stop me from leaving Colorado...As you can see he lost that court case as well.
Just be on your toes, the soon to be X in any relationship can get very sneaky as mine did. So, when my X lost both court cases then he went after child support.
Document everything, everyday, not matter what it is. I got me one of those calenders that have blocks on them, and I had 3 years worth of everything he said or did concerning the children. Let me tell you, that was the key in the court cases.

I sooo agree. With all the crime in this town I seriously doubt they are out here for road blocks or checks. After all dumb me ran a stop sign right front of one of em and he didn't stop me so I doubt it is for traffic offenders. And 2 of em told me they were looking for someone.
I guess whoever it is must not be much of a threat or we would have been advised to bolo.
What does Bolo stand for? I've seen that word twice in two days.

I am in my 40's too.
Why..I would rather WE die than our Children..That was my point...That is how it was last time. It killed off 20-40 year olds..I take the flu seriously too..Remember my daughter almost died from it not to mention me and my DH when we were small children..Thank God for Penicillin...And advances in medicine. The flu from what I understand doesn't kill it is the Pheural Effusion..and Pneumonia that comes from it.
The flu shot does not give you the flu....
The flu shot doesn't give you the flu it just gives you symptoms and sometimes you are very sour.
DallasRed, I understood where you were coming from but if I was to pass, then who would take care of my children? So, basically I'm it. *S*

I agree! Also, what gets me is people like Sanjay Gupta from cnn still traveling over there, bringing his swine germs back to the us. I think the media wants it to spread so they can get some good news!
Yes, for each disease that is spread, There're always carriers THAT don't get that disease.
As for the post above that mention we didn't always have the flu shot until a few years ago. What happened then is people were dying left and right. Mainly, elderly, children and people with weak immune systems. 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's all away to present date there're people that pass from the mildest strain of the flu. It all depends on how strong your system is and if you can handle anything (illnessess) that come at you.

I agree..My daughter almost died from having the flu...I take it very seriously..And no she is healthy..No Asthma nothing like that. I am just glad that my husband is gone far away from all of this and if anything happens to me at least the kids will have one parent left.
Hoping it is like last time and mainly hits the 20-40 crowd..
Whoa, wait a minute, that wasn't nice.......I'm in my 40's as well as other people on this forum.\
I'm taking this flu seriously as well for the simple fact that my kids are early teens and I suffer asthma on a daily basis. I wouldn't be able to fight this flu off like some would.
-
It would be nice to be able to have a simple cold or the flu (not this flu) whenever I get sick it goes straight to bronchial asthma or pnuemonia. Sucks!!!
As for the swine flu, they just had a caption on the bottom of the tv about it and that there are more cases in GA.
The first case that was detected is a women who just came back from Mexico....I also heard that it is slowing down in Mexico....Heck, why not; it's all over in the states now.
What burns my chaps is I bet the Mexico people/government/health new about this crap and never said a dang word about it until it crossed the border.

When those school children walked off that plane and walked through that airport, it was the worse possible place for it to enter the country.
People were connecting to other flights, sitting on planes and at terminals all over the world for hours.
If you do the math on that handful of kids it boggles the mind, how rapidly it will spread from there.
I immune systems differ in races, and regions, I think that we will see higher death rates accordingly.
We don't know yet how the majority of Americans will be effected yet.
We do know for sure if you are medically fragile or compromised you need to be watched carefully, and seek treatment.
Whats scary is you might not have it, and actually go to the hospital and catch it.
I am not afraid for myself as far as getting it, but my son and my father are in the medically fragile category and that makes me very nervous.
Exactly, I'm more worried for my elderly parents and my children. My father has diabeties and had open heart surgery 2 years ago. My mother has MS and CHF and then my children are 15 and 12. I don't panic infront of the children because I don't want them to worry. Just like storms, I won't panic in front of them but I sure as heck will every place else...LOL
-
Dahm it (yes added h)..... Now that is to close to home. I am more worried about my father and my children and my mother up in MA (they have 2 cases).
It's getting to the point I don't want to leave the house and I sure as (ell) don't want my children too.
This needs to be gone by the time Aerosmith comes to Atlanta in July, or I am going to be highly (issed) if they cancel that concert.
-
Dang.....You know I understand an illness hitting the southern states for the simple fact it is a warmer climate and during the winter months nothing really has the chance to die like up North. I'm shocked that New York has 51 cases and 3 schools had been closed.
Up North, bugs, illness's have a better chance of dying BUT of course you have the common cold, bronchitis, etc. that don't die during the winter months...VIRUS's.
I hope it doesn't hit Geogia as hard, just take the normally precautions, HAND WASHING!!!!!

LOL....if they sneeze, cough on your during sex....LOL

Just heard on the 6:30 news that the Swine Flu is at level 5 now. There are only 6 level which is the deepest red.
They said this is going to turn into a Pandemic and that it will hit children from newborn to 16.
My father fly's a lot and he has to wear a painter mask on the flights.
-
Well, tried to stay away from the computer today as much as I could. Excercised, had lunch with a friend, talked with the roofer, dogs in and out, did the stationary bike.....But guess where I kept coming back too? LOL....yup, your right...LOL....the computer....w/ tv on. LOL

Sure did....44.....and that is starting with 0
I'm not a chocolate eater.

WASHINGTON – A 23-month-old Texas toddler became the first confirmed swine flu death outside of Mexico as authorities around the world struggled to contain a growing global health menace that has also swept Germany onto the roster of afflicted nations. Officials say the death was in Houston.
"Even though we've been expecting this, it is very, very sad," Dr. Richard Besser, acting chief of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Wednesday of the infant's death. "As a pediatrician and a parent, my heart goes out to the family."
President Barack Obama said this morning that Americans should know the government is doing all it can to control virus. Obama also says schools should consider closing if the spread of the swine flu virus worsens.
Canada, Austria, New Zealand, Israel, Spain, Britain and Germany also have reported cases of swine flu sickness. Deaths reported so far have been limited to Mexico, and now the U.S.
As the United States grappled with this widening health crisis, Besser went from network to network Wednesday morning to give an update on what the Obama administration is doing. He said authorities essentially are still "trying to learn more about this strain of the flu." His appearances as Germany reported its first cases of swine flu infection, with three victims.
"It's very important that people take their concern and channel it into action," Besser said, adding that "it is crucial that people understand what they need to do if symptoms appear.
"I don't think it (the reported death in Texas) indicates any change in the strain," he said. "We see with any flu virus a spectrum of disease symptoms."
Asked why the problem seems so much more severe in Mexico, Besser said U.S. officials "have teams on the ground, a tri-national team in Mexico, working with Canada and Mexico, to try and understand those differences, because they can be helpful as we plan and implement our control strategies."
Sixty-six infections had been reported in the United States before the report of the toddler's death in Texas.
The world has no vaccine to prevent infection but U.S. health officials aim to have a key ingredient for one ready in early May, the big step that vaccine manufacturers are awaiting. But even if the World Health Organization ordered up emergency vaccine supplies — and that decision hasn't been made yet — it would take at least two more months to produce the initial shots needed for human safety testing.
"We're working together at 100 miles an hour to get material that will be useful," Dr. Jesse Goodman, who oversees the Food and Drug Administration's swine flu work, told The Associated Press.
The U.S. is shipping to states not only enough anti-flu medication for 11 million people, but also masks, hospital supplies and flu test kits. President Barack Obama asked Congress for $1.5 billion in emergency funds to help build more drug stockpiles and monitor future cases, as well as help international efforts to avoid a full-fledged pandemic.
"It's a very serious possibility, but it is still too early to say that this is inevitable," the WHO's flu chief, Dr. Keiji Fukuda, told a telephone news conference.
Cuba and Argentina banned flights to Mexico, where swine flu is suspected of killing more than 150 people and sickening well over 2,000. In a bit of good news, Mexico's health secretary, Jose Cordova, late Tuesday called the death toll there "more or less stable."
Mexico City, one of the world's largest cities, has taken drastic steps to curb the virus' spread, starting with shutting down schools and on Tuesday expanding closures to gyms and swimming pools and even telling restaurants to limit service to takeout. People who venture out tend to wear masks in hopes of protection.
The number of confirmed swine flu cases in the United States rose to 66 in six states, with 45 in New York, 11 in California, six in Texas, two in Kansas and one each in Indiana and Ohio, but cities and states suspected more. In New York, the city's health commissioner said "many hundreds" of schoolchildren were ill at a school where some students had confirmed cases.
The WHO argues against closing borders to stem the spread, and the U.S. — although checking arriving travelers for the ill who may need care — agrees it's too late for that tactic.
"Sealing a border as an approach to containment is something that has been discussed and it was our planning assumption should an outbreak of a new strain of influenza occur overseas. We had plans for trying to swoop in and knockout or quench an outbreak if it were occurring far from our borders. That's not the case here," Besser told a telephone briefing of Nevada-based health providers and reporters. "The idea of trying to limit the spread to Mexico is not realistic or at all possible."
"Border controls do not work. Travel restrictions do not work," WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl said in Geneva, recalling the SARS epidemic earlier in the decade that killed 774 people, mostly in Asia, and slowed the global economy.
Authorities sought to keep the crisis in context: Flu deaths are common around the world. In the U.S. alone, the CDC says about 36,000 people a year die of flu-related causes. Still, the CDC calls the new strain a combination of pig, bird and human viruses for which people may have limited natural immunity.
Hence the need for a vaccine. Using samples of the flu taken from people who fell ill in Mexico and the U.S., scientists are engineering a strain that could trigger the immune system without causing illness. The hope is to get that ingredient — called a "reference strain" in vaccine jargon — to manufacturers around the second week of May, so they can begin their own laborious production work, said CDC's Dr. Ruben Donis, who is leading that effort.
Vaccine manufacturers are just beginning production for next winter's regular influenza vaccine, which protects against three human flu strains. The WHO wants them to stay with that course for now — it won't call for mass production of a swine flu vaccine unless the outbreak worsens globally. But sometimes new flu strains pop up briefly at the end of one flu season and go away only to re-emerge the next fall, and at the very least there should be a vaccine in time for next winter's flu season, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the National Institutes of Health's infectious diseases chief, said Tuesday.
"Right now it's moving very rapidly," he said of the vaccine development.

I can live without tv - not sure what I'd do without the internet. I work AND have online work from school over the internet.
My mom freaked so bad about missing American Idol that she made ME watch it at my house and text her after every person.
I understand where she is coming from, if I knew you were doing that I would have had you flip between channels and tell me what happened on Biggest Loser....LOL
-
Now that was funny!!!
-
I know right? I googled my name and my families names and they have information about each of us, but if you want the nitty gritty you have to pay for it.
They even have my fathers current job on there and which state he is in. I don't like that at all, heck I don't even tell people my real name but my business is on the net.

Hmmm...didn't have computers when I was in HS.
Soooooooo, you never know, things happen for a reason. 
I believe computers started to come out in the 80's. I believe they were Apple's.
-
See what happens when we are left alone and don't have the computer, tv, and phone to babysit us? We can't be trusted....LOL LOL
Hey, at least you tried to be productive and accomplish something in your home.
-
Good idea. The funny thing about it is, I can't remember most of them. LOL
Was to keen about him telling me he was a hacker back in high school. I told him he better not hack my computer. He is a year older than I, graduating with my brother.
Dang, a girl that graduated with me found me on facebook, I had to get the yearbook out just to know who she was...Let's just say she didn't change much in dealing with men....LOL
-
Yes, and it's starting to trip me out. This guy contacted me two days ago said he knew me and my brother from High School. I'm going to have to delete my facebook account, I'm not liking this at all. If I wanted to stay in touch with people from high school I would have.

Some people need a pacifier for their amount of complaining.
Then I guess you will have to buy a bunch of pacifiers for us, Walmart has different shapes, colors, texture. Now, run along and make us happy with our brand new shiney pacifier.

Mine went out around 3. All of Paulding county and 2 towns around us were out. You got credit for yesterday because it was either their fault or (like the lady said) an optic wire was broke, damaged, whatever. I went and walked the neighborhood, and played games on the computer. Like you, I didn't know what to do with myself and how dependent I am on this stuff. I have the package as well, internet, tv, phone. LOL I ended up going to bed.

Exactly, I love the Hiram Station as well when I'm able to go and that might be four times a year. But, like I said for a more personal one on one with relatives or friends from out of town, I would go to MacFarlyns (sp) or some where on the Avenue.
