  1. We went to a sleep number and love it. I think we have had it for 10 years. We both have changed our firmness level a couple of times in those 10 years. It doesn't break down like regular mattresses. Once a mattress gets really uncomfortable you have to get a knew one. You take the chance that the mattress might be bad for your partner or yourself. We still feel like it was a great decision for both of us. You can also easily add the foam toppers of your choice to them.
  2. This is what many do not understand about racial issues. What seems to be history to most white people as in the civil rights movement has come and gone, now get over it already attitude is a problem. The Black lives matter movement is not just about the shootings of blacks, it is about the black on black crime because there are blacks that don't believe black lives matter and that is why they prey on their own. We didn't stand beside them and agree, we through the black on black crime in their faces. We should care, if our fellow black Americans are standing up why can't we stand beside
  3. I have never liked these types of things. I dislike them even more during this election. We ended up with Trump because he basically followed a script written by Fox news supposed experts and right wing pundits. They can't call him out on his BS because he got it from him and of course his outrageousness is now news. Twenty years ago he would have been branded as a nut,, just like Bernie was labeled as too far out there to ever get traction in a primary. Hillary is going to become the first female president by design and default, think that one over. Our elections are more like made for
  4. It is not cheap to keep them up. The biggest cost are employees and mowing equipment. Paying my county taxes does not strain me financially. I know that it does some folks. We really don't have a lot of land that is ideal for industry other than 278 west as far as suitable traffic wise for big trucks. My point is people need to prepare themselves for a future in a bedroom community. It won't be long until traffic is a big expensive issue.
  5. Many want all the bells and whistles that come with a great bedroom community. Builders, banks, and real estate agents are gearing up for a great future. This is par for the course as far as taxes go in a bedroom community. I am curious about what is up with the park in front of the courthouse. There seemed to have been a recent concert there that had poor attendance and even poorer promotion. Are the tax payers footing the bill for these concerts? If industrial growth is on the back burner then move the funds and do the bedroom community to the max. This includes a division that will work
  6. The most detrimental thing in my opinion is the level of anxiety and depression it causes. When we read the news every day it is in reality a long list of bad things happening in our community, state, country, and globally. All of which for the most part is out of our control. Psychologist will tell you that feeling out of control is one of the most detrimental feelings to our mental state. It does not take much personal tragedy on top of this constant anxiety to cause real mental issues. Many people don't recognize depression in themselves and others. Anger is an element of depression least
  7. You can tell by the language where people get the majority of their political news. There are certain terms that a shock jock (not a journalist) entertainer that talks about people this way. He claims that Libtards one of his labels for non ditto heads are angry, have their panties in a wad and are gnashing their teeth. None of which is true. You can't discuss issues with these people. They only come to forums like this looking for an opportunity to regurgitate the rants. If they should forget what he says on any given subject he has his shows recorded and transcribed. Most of which are insult
  8. As long as you elect people that identify with you and your beliefs, impoverished people will continue to vote for those that believe they need social programs to live. Somehow we believe people will change because they finally see it our way. It is more important for most to believe they are right than to solve problems. A white person in this country can never fully realize what it is to be black. If you don't believe me, have a real conversation with a successful black person. They made different life choices in the face of adversity. Don't think for a minute that they have not experienced
  9. I have been thinking this morning about my responses and that to some it comes across as excuses for the awful things that are happening. I am not excusing any of the behavior. I have raised 4 children, I expected them to make mistakes. With that many you become overwhelmed and simply want them to tow the line. Looking back I realized the better outcome was when I slowed down and ask why a child was acting out. We have to get down to the why because this is happening in this country way too often. Children are born into these areas the same as any other, well hopefully not drug addicted or
  10. Maybe this will help. When people look at your husband, you, and your children they don't know any of those things you just stated. Black people feel prejudged by whites. They feel that there is a burden of proof put upon them on sight. You might feel the same were you the only white women in a room full of black people. Would they believe you are racist even though they had no proof. Maybe they would become violent against you because you were the only white and all the black people would back the black person against you. It would be you getting punished because of other peoples racist acti
  11. This is the problem( pulled off a random facebook post. When your skin is black, people look at you and think this until you prove differently. Not everyone thinks this but it is just as damaging if you believe it. There might even be once or twice that they have acted on it, so it makes it that much more believable. Oppressed my ass They can get off their asses and work for it just like the rest of us. Freaking ridiculous. I'm tired of hearing how they are held back and can't get anything. sheeze they get way more than I can. My kids don't have the same scholarship opportunities as some
  12. Nobody condones this awful behavior. Understanding it is part of preventing it. The history behind it is certainly recent enough to make that easier. Incarceration and even killing is not solving the problem. It makes us all angry to see what is happening, no matter what side you take. If you don't even try to understand then you are part of the problem.
  13. I think the stats from other countries is relevant. What is says is there is probably less than 50% maybe a little more that would utilize the free education. I like the idea that anyone smart enough and ambitious enough can fulfill their potential in our country. I can not think of anything better our taxes could be invested in. I am sure the same was said a long time ago about public schools. How will you get educated people to work in the fields and mines. I would like us to build trade schools that are free also. The only thing this will hurt is the minimum wage market, cry me a river on t
  14. I think I may have found the answer to my question! Wake up Paulding FB page Things that Make you Hmmm… Is Todd Pownall considering a write-in campaign? There has been some chatter recently about a write in campaign candidate from anti-commercialization activists for BOC Chairman. Yes, it is technically not over yet! Mid September is the deadline for declaring yourself a write-in candidate. Wake Up Paulding County assumes, but has not verified that if a write in candidate declares, their name would appear on the November presidential ballot alongside Carmichael’s in the coun
  15. Is that why this article is out now? It just seems like an election cycle article. Maybe it is just Blake clearing the air before he goes? IDK That is why I posted it, this is somewhat of an expose' . Or this is how it really was.......
  16. Former airport director recalls 'disengaged' Paulding commissioner before 2013 announcement I ran across this yesterday and it had me wondering why now? I have been gone most of the last year, so I missed a lot of the politics leading up to the commissioners race. I could see this coming out before the vote, but why now? Is it just setting the record straight because Blake is no longer employed by the county and can say what he wants? But he is not the only one giving statements for the article so help me out here. It is a very long article so you will need to click through to read it
  17. People forget just how big this county is. I have always said our SD does a good job considering the miles they have to cover. When we had a lot of problems on 61 with speeders passing illegally and way too many fatalities they came up here for a couple of weeks and things calmed down. That is really all it takes is for drivers to see them present and become cautious. I think it gets worse especially when school is first in session, people have to give themselves more time. Teens have always been problem drivers and always will be. My mom use to say that was why they drafted the young for war
  18. I think it became associated with lower income families due to the cost of the medication. In the past I have seen the lotion as high as $10.00 a treatment. You almost always have to treat twice, so families with multiple children would be challenged to treat multiple children over and over. In fact they use to deny children coming in until they checked out clean. They stopped in some areas they simply have to bring the empty container to school showing they used it. Best thing is to gel or mouse a child's hair, put it in a pony tail and heavily spray it with hair spray. The lotion may be
  19. This country has been doing business with middle eastern countries and Muslim business men for many years. Where do you think our oil comes from? We know absolutely Donald Trump has many Arab business partners. I am sure both candidates have had at least some backing from them. I see this as a security issue based on the article discussing his activities. They definitely meddle in our politics. Look at the hostage situation when Jimmy Carter was president. I have always said we will finance our own demise by buying oil from the middle east. It really bothers me that this guy was able to w
  20. My first thought is her security team should be fired. This man is a high profile individual that they obviously did not recognize. If she denounces the man for what his son did she looks bad. Her security team could have moved him to a safer distance discreetly. It demonstrates to others that may want to harm her just how easy it is to get to her. I would say the same for Trump. I don't believe either one would make a good leader, but I don't want to see them killed either. I could say more about how dangerous Trump rallies are for suspicious looking people but I will leave it at not wantin
  21. That is a long and exhausting, not to mention expensive trip. There are your reasons. The only reason I would make those 2 trips back to back would be illness or death. Could they be asking you to jump through these hoops due to feeling like you are partial to other grand children or sibling rivalry. You may need to find ways to reassure them in other ways. I wish you luck, family is not always easy. I know that most new parents like to bask in the love and attention that a new baby brings you might check yourself on that one, as in some are just more needy period.
  22. We held up our part of the bargain. The Iranians believe it will benefit them to claim it was ransom instead of the release of funds per the agreement. We have clear and concise language that allows consequences for them continuing with their nuclear pursuits. I suspect this was a well thought out move on the part of the American government in response to the suspicions they are continuing to pursue nuclear weapons. The attacks on our president have become ridiculously petty in the face of serious and life threatening circumstances. It is no wonder that the rights candidate is a petty, hateful
  23. It is disgusting when people believe the spin an Iranian is putting on the transfer and not the president. Fox news is so freakin irresponsible. It is one thing when the Iranians put Americans in danger of kidnapping, but disgusting when a presidential candidate and a news agency does it. Fox news and Trump are 2 peas in a pod a rotten pod. We are going to pay dearly for the things they say and do.
  24. This money was part of the deal. We had frozen their money as part of the sanctions against them. What is more troubling is that Fox and their pundits scrutinized the hell out of that deal and they know exactly what this is. As far as a hostage if anything it was trying to save face because our sanctions finally broke them. The headliner is, Fox accuses Obama of paying ransom to Iran when they know that this was part of the nuclear deal and that money is actually the Iranian's money that was frozen in accounts here.
