As I travel down Lost mountain road the last few weeks it has gotten to the point with the construction and traffic that traveling this road has become a parking lot. I sent in and email and was very impressed with the email response and information on that construction site and the Dallas Highway site. Both sites have a long construction time frame, but it was just very nice to get a very informative response. Thanks .. The email for those interested: Good info for travelers in that area. Thank you for your interest and concern for the construction work around Lost Mountain.

Who and what state... Vacations and air travel for vacations and Hotel taxes have slowly been getting raised by all states. So to those that want to blame all their problems on the current administration instead of those directly responsible go for it. Typical republican response to complain and blame a deomcrap... Isn't it a slogan of the Republican party to tax and spend?

So do women look for men with big thumbs?

ok, took 1 hr nap and now doing laundry.... got to get all my chores done... If it wasn't going to rain tomorrow I was going to aerate the yard, pull the dead grass up and then seed and fertilize it... But the rain is coming and I need a day to rest up. Hummmm I guess and easy day tomorrow.... Garden show in Marietta

I busted my butt today with some help of the better half.... We.... built her raised bed flower vegetable garden.... in my baby pool... guess about 700lbs of dirt an soil etc painted it black....looks pretty nice... oh an put holes in the bottom to for drainage.. Next cleaned the under neath of my shed Then did some repairs om my falling a part 12 yr old wood fence... Then trimmed the trees up with the chain saw and put all the limbs in the recycle pile.. Then cleaned up the recycle pile moved the bird feeder... so the Mrs flower garden would fit. Emptied the trail

I guess dribble from people like you, gets to be posted because you have a lack of a life? And maybe you get the EIC and have a problem with people getting ticked off paying for something that has no real value. I think the first fits you better and maybe the later. Just want to add that being negative and slamming is just a trait I will not take from some of you. A few of you have a negative attitude and love to squeeze in these little slamms here and there, vice talking about a subject. It just speaks raves of your inability to talk about a subject and and you just go for the personal s

If we don't tax it we missed something? Bill to hike fees moving quickly in state House http://blogs.ajc.com/gold-dome-live/2010/03/18/new-bill-to-raise-fees-already-in-trouble/ Some are OK with me, some just smell of a back door tax. Can we start taxing waling or breathing?

Your well come... I stayed home.. no vacation etc.... Sorry I just see this as what you just got... a free vacation on my taxes.... I worked and paid a ton of taxes. I feel like I work for months a year just to pay the extra taxes to get to keep a small part of it. I think I will send out some emails on the Earned Income credit to voice my disdain for it. I just don't think anyone should get more money back in a tax refund then they put in. If you don't make a lot and you get it all back that is fine with me. I just should not be a bonus for for making less each year. I think

The fair tax is too complicated.... It takes everyone I have talked to on this 20 min to explain it. I like my version You make 10K you pay $500 you make 20K you pay $1000 etc etc Base it on general salary and a set rate of taxes... keep it stupid simple... no IRS etc no deductions... it would work. People would still donate.. maybe a bit less at first, but they would still donate. Companies pay on a company scale... Someone could review all tax returns for a 10 year period and find the medium tax paid by each scale and that would be the scale... i.e. mo

I think this has a lot of potential... You have to think outside of the box on this kind of idea and it could work. It is far enough south that folks can drive to ski that want to ski. It is close to a big cite and could be a big draw. Not sure if the area in Ga is the best overall though as I don't know the roads etc. But the idea could be interesting and a money maker. Where is the closest real ski resort? Not a half year one... Skiing is big business and with the right site could do very well. Look at the Mall of America.. Never been there, but I understand it is stupid huge in the middle o

If poor folks need a hand.. fine, pay a bill, give them some free food... not a yearly bonus for being poor.... I think I fixed it.... Good point on your part.... It needed to be made clearer..

Ok, I think this is the biggest waste of money. No one should get more money then they put in the system. I agree that some poor folks should not pay little or any taxes. But no one should ever get more money back then they put in. I know a lot of folks that get $4-5000 and make a lot less then me. It just drives me nuts that they get free money every freaking year and I have to pay every year. OK...

Can we start testing politicians? They have to be on drugs to vote on the things they do.... Well then again just being stupid would let them just about all qualify and then they would pass the drug tests... hummm

Just curious how many would agree that this is a serious waste of money for those that don't really earn it? I will post my thoughts later.... Do you think this a good use of our money or not?

As a few might say.... this has already been talked about last week or something.... and I know who they are. I personally think ask away as you never know what is available. I have gotten a few jobs just by stopping in a place and asking if they were hiring. Good luck.

My next toy... early next year is a 2011 Camero convertible... yellow or orange.... (as i wipe the droll from my chin)

nice truck..... dang... does it cook coffee?

It has all the toys on it I wanted... It now has nerf bars and a few other things... it's my baby.... now back off... I can run you over in 4 wheel drive a few times...

Took me 30yrs to buy my fully loaded truck..... even quit smoking to buy it. It drives nice and people love too look at it too.

I would leave tomorrow for a decent job in Florida... cheaper to live,better weather, less taxes and less winter... It would cost too much right now to leave.... but I will not retire here... no way.. I give it 5 yrs at most and I will be down south of the border

I would like to see what a teachers pay averages out to a pay scale pay per day... just curious.. thats all...I get paid a weekly salary that does not include 6-8weeks vacation in the summer nor winter vacations an spring breaks etc... I just think if we pay a yearly salary, we should get yearly work. I also have many extra schools and lots of extra computer courses.... I also work after hours and weekends ... plus my 10% pay cut last year... Just like everyone, we are just looking for the bang for the buck. Plus I have a friend that is a high school history teacher... he tells m

I like your way of thinking.. I might work it in a similar way.... legally at that though....

I am and have thought about a few things that might reduce my tax burden too. The amount of taxes I pay is quite enough to piss anyone off and think of legal ways around them.

Many things, make better use of the funds they have... 10% pay cut works for me ( I took one so I have no reason to think they all can take one across the board) I think the lottery could be better spent and the CEO does not need a 100% pay bonus... sorry I think she can take a cut too Sorry to say the bus system could use to go with a little pay meter like the regular county bus system. Ah free lunch needs to be addressed a little bit too.... Sorry to say, but extra activities should pay for them self by the person who wants the activity. Basket ball, baseball, etc.

Then there are those that can not look at things at another point of view and so are very inept. They just narrow minded and fail to see the other side of the mountain. They just live in their little world and fail to see the wold world for the beauty and the ugly. Those people are the ones that will never realize what they are missing. Oh I feel so much pity for them. An having a battle of whits with a lot of half minded people is always a waste of time and I have wasted enough of mine with a few of you with this discussion, as to convince an idiot he is stupid is never an easy thin
