I'm Floored

You ROCK! This theft breaks my heart. Our son played baseball at South for four years. We were very active with the Booster Club, and aside from our own time, efforts, and contributions for the program, my heart is broken for the children this affects. It is devastating to South Paulding Baseball AND Softball. Please join our community in praying for the thieves to be brought to justice and for the programs as they rebuild.

I am so very sorry you're in such pain. My constant prayers are with you.

We're at South. I know it has been a nightmare in years past. We'll be there early, I just wanted to be able to tell the grands a certain time to meet at one of the other schools and shuttle over. (That would avoid them waiting for hours on end.) I am concerned for their health. And my sanity. Some of our parents are GRUMPY!

We have a senior graduating Saturday morning. We know to arrive very early for parking. However, we have many elderly who want to attend, and they just can't wait 2 1/2 hours prior and sit through the entire ceremony, too. We know shuttles will be offered from nearby schools after the high school lot is full. Does anyone have any experience? I would love to be able to tell the grandparents how to plan and just catch a bus without having to wait too terribly long. TIA

This place rocks! Great food, good friendly service, and a cool place to hang out (for all ages.) Make sure you stop by!

South Paulding High School Baseball is playing at TURNER FIELD! The date is next Friday, April 20th at 4:00pm. SPHS and several area middle schools are allowing students to check out early without penalty if they have a ticket and a parent note. This is a wonderful opportunity for the Baseball Players at South. Very few schools were selected to participate in these exhibition games. We need to PACK THE STADIUM! Please plan to attend and support the team and our community. We've seen the community wide support for so many other teams and schools, so we'd like to see you jump on

We are excited and proud to announce....South Paulding Baseball will be playing at TURNER FIELD! Make plans now to attend. The Spartans will host the Woodland Wildcats, Friday April 20th at 4:00pm. (South Paulding High School and many middle schools are allowing students who pre-purchase tickets and bring a parent note to check out early with no penalty.) Tickets are on sale now for only $10, which includes admission to our high school game, and a ticket to Atlanta Braves vs. Washington Nationals on September 16th! (This is a Sunday 1:35pm game. Children 12 and under get to run the bases

I'm not buying him anything! I am handing him the credit card. He's buying a big TV (that he found for a steal!) to build the media room we never finished when we built our house. We love watching the Duggars on the BIG SCREEN!

"Financially Challenged" Rudolph

In a link to a timeline on the site listed by the OP, it said that the mother's other children were turned over to DFACS after the abduction. Why?

I just looked at the crime reports on the Patch. There were two burglaries in your daughter's neighborhood Monday. I'm sure one of them on the report was hers. You may want to look and ask some of the neighbors near the other house if they know any more. ETA: There was also a burglary at a house on Dallas Nebo Rd which is across the street from the entrance of Camden Woods. Same day.

So sorry for your daughter's loss. Losing the items is hard enough without the violation she now feels. My house backs up to that subdivision. Someone tried to burglarize our home in May. Thankfully, we have a good alarm system, and the glass break sensor scared them away before they actually gained entry. Now, we have an even better system. And a dog.

Funny, I was really aggravated by the "driving techniques" I saw this morning, too. And I did NOT appreciate the dude behind me who felt it was safe in the rain to follow me so closely that I couldn't see his headlights. NOT COOL!

When discussing an upcoming ballgame, my children would say, "Who do we verse this week?" I thought it was kind of funny, and corrected them that VERSUS is not the plural of verse (which is a noun.) I had never heard it before my kids. Now, I hear it misused frequently. Not too long ago, I actually heard a sportscaster on ESPN say, "Georgia verse Florida".

My son had them when he was 4. Now that children are vaccinated against chicken pox (rather than actually having the disease) we will see more and more young outbreaks. Thankfully, young people bounce back much better than the elderly. Unfortunately, once you have shingles, you are more likely to redevelop in the future.

about the time change! Set your clocks back this weekend. I can't wait!

Video works for me.

I, too, have given negatives by mistake. I like being able to see, but (if it is to be like Facebook) I wish there was a way for me to fix my mistake.

This has me bothered too. I came by there Friday night and saw a car pull into the parking lot. That church doesn't usually have a lot of traffic, so I noticed that it was out of the ordinary. Now, I'm concerned that it was the car mentioned here, and that I should have stopped.

What an incredible story! Your wife (and you) and incredibly selfless people. Thanks for sharing!

If you don't have one....GET A SECURITY SYSTEM! Someone attempted to break in to our home last week. We have glass break sensors, and as soon as they tried to bust the glass to get in, the alarm sounded and scared them off. We, and our possessions, are safe because of our security system. And since this happened, we've had some upgrades. We're ready if they decide to come back! By the way, we use Ackerman. GREAT service!

You can do that?! Instructions, please! My BFF and I have always said this is what would make FB perfect. I need to put my peeps in "boxes". LOL

It was frightening to come home and find that our home was *almost* violated. I say that, because the intent was there, and had it not been for our alarm, the intruder would have come in. I still feel violated, and I'm ANGRY!!! We WILL find who did this!!!

This is awesome, but it's not all that Sheriff Gullege and his deputies have done for the officer. I've been following for the last couple of months on Facebook. They have arranged donations for an Ipad so that he could communicate with family and friends. They have taken their off-duty time to visit him in Atlanta so that he is surrounded by support. We live in a GREAT community!

This thread makes me sad for so many reasons. Here are some of my thoughts (for what they're worth!): 1.) Baseball (insert soccer, football, karate, etc. here) should be FUN for the kids. This is something we ALL know, and yet every season, these types of discussions are had. 2.) Parents get out of line. Coaches get out of line. They shouldn't, but they do. We, as parents, need to get it together. We don't need more rules, better administrators, assertive umpires, etc. WE need to take responsibilities for our own actions and DO THE RIGHT THING! 3.) BASEBALL (or any team s
