  1. Clearwater Plumbing in Dallas has done many jobs for me. They are well equipped, qualified and dependable. This is one of those areas to be careful. Low cost might bring you pain you remember.

    I didn't know General Lee. So I don't have a clue if he was a good man or not. In my hometown Wade Hampton High School opened in 1961. There is a young lady who recently school choiced in from another district within the county because her home school does not offer a program she needs for her honors program in order to benefit her in college. She has gotten up a petition and has gotten the local news people involved trying to change the school name because it offends her. Heck the community is bitterly divided over this issue. I've met an individual on-line who recently moved b
  3. Just recently we've had 2 more recent deaths that sound like murder based on social media reports. 1) the County Sheriff's Department used social media to alert the public to be on the lookout for a suspect. That person was spotted, brought in for questioning, charged and booked for 4 felonies including Murder the next day. 1) the Dallas Police investigated. There had been very little mentioned. Some say there's are some people of interest. There's no postings or mention of who to be on the look out for, or who to avoid. I'm wondering if the Sheriff's Department is better equipp
  4. Sorry, I can't resist the urge. I just saw this on Facebook.
  5. I get a little older I'll be able to shuffle up there on my walker.
  6. And I would guess the safest place in America last night was inside the arena that was packed with Trump supporters.
  7. You might want to go back and watch President Trump's rally in Arizona last night. President Trump was real clear about his opinions of anyone who thinks they can abuse our citizens. Anyone who says he supports hate groups is listening to Fake news and is not listening to the President's actual words. Just 1 of President Trump's remarks "We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for. There is no place for this kind of violence in America. Lets come together as one!".
  8. Our quiet little Mayberry isn't so quiet anymore. I think it was this past weekend, an athlete and graduate of Paulding High died and his death is under investigation by Dallas PD. This morning there had been a death of a lady in a home on Hiram Sudie and a young man is wanted for questioning in that death by Paulding Sheriff Investigators. They can take down, blow up and dispose every statue, memorial or mention of past problems and it won't help fix the hate in some people's hearts today. I'm still shocked to read there are as many as 43 million held against their will in the world
  9. 38% was $902 now $1,246. Appeal is in process.
  10. If I were looking for land in the New Hope area I would leave Post 4 Commissioner Tony Crowe a voice mail message at the Court House. If anyone knows of someone wanting to sale some raw land, it will be Tony. Actually with accessments and the millage rates going up, it might be a good time to hook up with someone wanting to dispose of land before the tax bills come out.
  11. Bikers Gone Wild in downtown Dallas has a very good seamstress.
  12. I think the world is going crazy right in front of us. I've been reading about how the Irish & Germans came here to escape the potato famine. Some historians say the Northerner businessmen took advantage of the Irish & German immigrants, paying them substandard wages basically taking advantage of the large number of hungry immigrants that were flowing into the Northern cities. I have Irish & German ancestors. Wonder when we will be able to file claims for being treated unfairly?
  13. I thought I had come up with a solution. Remove every statue, road sign, bridge sign or any other kind of memorial to anyone & everyone. Replace them only with statues, signs & memorials honoring soldiers who have fallen in battle protecting the USA. BUT then I realized in just a few years people would be fighting over these. So forget my suggestion.
  14. Someone once said something to the effect of "Our personality is made up of everything we've heard, everything we've seen, everything we've been exposed too... Up to this moment". There's lots of truth there. Everyday I try to be a little better today than I was yesterday. We are all a work in progress. One of the things that impacted me years ago was a friend who would often say "Garbage In, Garbage Out". Hopefully I will listen to posters who have a desire to see people come together more than allowing myself to be drug down a little deeper by ones who want to make the world a little me
  15. Segregation was wrong. I remember the segregated water fountains in JC Penney in downtown Greenville. One of the memories I still remember is when the SC schools were integrated about 1970. Very quickly is was evident to all the black kids came from a school system that was far behind the white system. Very quickly the school system had to come up with easy classes so 200+ students in each grade would not be held back. It is wrong for us to hate or be ugly to anyone. Hate or uglyness was wrong then and it's wrong today. Neo Nazism is wrong, terribly wrong. But do we stop it with the same
  16. As a result of the most recent events I've been reading a lot since this weekend about the reasons for slavery and The Confederste States of America. One article talked about the North having a bountiful source of cheap labor because of the large number of Irish & German immigrants escaping the potato famine. I dug out and dusted off family research I did in the early 80's. My grandparents on my fathers side were share croppers on a farm somewhere on the edge of Dawson & Lumpkin County's. My Grandfather died in 1905 when my Dad was 2. By the time my Dad was 10 the older boys
  17. President Trump could give every member of the Press a new Gold Plated Car and the headlines the next day would be "Trump Must Be Color Blind, Can't Pick Correct Color Of Car".
  18. I'm wondering if a 911Emergency System somewhere ever establishes a way for address holders to sign up for "Do Not Send A Police Officer To This Address, Instead Call ___-___-____ " Emergency System listing, how many of those complaining about police will sign up?
  19. I suggest you might want to be studying on who you wish to support in the next Presidential race and join with other like minded people to support that candidate early on. I'm ready to support the current President and Vice President expecting one will be the Republican Party nominee. Like I always say, my favorite season is Election Season on PCom.
  20. I've listened to President Trump on TV and I read his comments on this terrible action on Facebook. Sounds to me he strongly condemns all hatred. I expect if he called for $1 million rebates to be issued to every citizen, the same ones complaining now would be complaining $1 million just isn't enough. It's time to stop the name calling and hatred on all sides and start caring for each other.
  21. I have not eaten Cheese Whiz in years but you've got me craving some.
  22. If we want to point fingers at groups for causing taxes to be high we need to remember to point a few at the voters. Of all the Bond Referendums & Special Option Sales Tax votes, the only 3 I can remember ever being turned down in the last 30 years were the Civic Center, the Airport construction Bonds and BOE "It's About The Children" vote which the last one was overturned a little later. Correct me if needed, my memory isn't so sharp anymore. And I certainly can't remember all that passed.
