Oooo rah! Gotta love those Marines! Even though I deployed more times in the Air Force than my Marine brother in law...the Marines are awesome. If I had a good right knee, I would join up with them now!

I understand everyone's pain...I'm in the same boat. I'm an Air Force vet with a ton of office management/HR experience, and yet I can't find anything remotely near the pay I made in the military! No one should ever say that the military is underpaid when the jobs I've been offered don't even match the 33K I made last year (including benefits like housing and food allowance). I would have never imagined a vet with my qualifications and record having trouble making about $3K a month. It is depressing! I would be happy to show my resume if anyone out there has any leads. I'll take $15 an hour now, if I don't get something soon, I'm going to go back into the military! I loved it there, but I really wanted to settle down in Hiram. Ah...the best laid plans. -SH
May I apply with you? Superscoot52@yahoo.comI can tell you why we don't post salaries in our ads. We do not want to limit what we can get experience wise. If we get a resume with absolutely no experience but a good vibe about their skills then we will start them out at a base pay, however if we get a person with loads of experience and would be a perfect fit we might pay over what we originally planned and modify the position. The difference between these two people could be $8-$10 per hour, so posting a range that wide might draw people expecting the high side but having nothing to back up wanting that kind of pay and getting pissed off when they don't get offered more. This is why companies now typically require salary history and/or requirements so they can determine if you are worth what you want to them.Frustrating I know, but this is a much more efficient way of looking for new staff.... or at least it is for us....Now my gripe.... If you clearly aren't qualified, DON'T APPLY! You wouldnt believe the resumes we get from people with zero work history that want a managerial position! -
We're looking for an elliptical and a weight bench. I just can't see paying Sears like 800 bones for one of theirs...if you know where we can find one on the cheap, let me know! superscoot52@yahoo.com

This is a nice effort.
That being said, one of the things that helps those on the front lines (fire-bases, forward operating bases) and those a little further away from hot spots are the time-wasters, things that make the days past a little faster. I always loved getting magazines (Maxims were the most popular by far), books, and DVDs.

I don't know but my MIL lives in Thornebrook II, do you?
If I said maybe, would you not believe that I live in the Thornebrook II subdivision?
Yes, yes I do. And I love it.

I feel your pain (well, not literally...I believe giving birth probably feels like being repeatedly hit in the nuts with a big piece of cactus for hours on end)...
...I've encountered a few businesses that have expressed "extreme apprehension" when it comes to hiring a military reservist. I recently came off active duty and am likely going into the guard or reserves, but I haven't found a company willing to put up with it. Even a certain national program for the development of boys (I won't give their name, but does BSA provide a clue?) expressed fear...

I agree with Madea! I wish this was at least 3, 4, 5 pages....
Well, the way the thread is growing...it might reach 5+ pages! If you keep posting questions, I'm sure the wise members of this board will come up with answers.
Does anyone know who owned the area around the Thornebrook I and II subdivisions in the past?

Thanks again all for the fantastic info. Keep up the great work, and keep coming up with new "names of things" to discuss!

Jimmy Lee Campbell was a pharmacist and owner of what is now Curl's Pharmacy in downtown Dallas and a mayor at one time of Dallas also..He was killed in a car accident on Hwy 6...20+ yrs ago...
Seems like many in power die tragically here. Remind me not to run for Mayor...

I prefer it here in Paulding...LA blows. Do you know any other well-known people from Paulding? I mean, besides Travis Tritt...
-
Very funny...that is going to be repeated...

I read that Spencer Scott, October 2007 Playmate of the Month, is from Paulding. What is she up to now? Does she visit often? Looks like a very sweet (and gorgeous!) girl. Looks like the "girl next door"... just what Playboy wants.

Lake Ramona is named after the people that owned the lake and a lot of the land around there, Bill and Maggie Waters. Bill died in the '70's (I think) while cutting wood and Maggie just died a couple of months ago.
Thanks to all for the info. I spoke to a lady today at a yard sale, and she said that the Lake Ramona clubhouse (old store) will soon be used by groups like T.O.P.S. and the Girl Scouts, and those groups can use the lake. I'd love to go fishing there...
Please keep up with the great info....
Oh, thought of a few other names...Jimmy Lee Campbell, P.B. Ritch, hmmmm, thats is for now, I suppose. Any thing else on the history of the area besides that of Pickett's Mill would be great too!
THANKS!!!

Greetings all,
I'm fairly new to Paulding (2+ months now) and I love it here. I just want to know who some of these roads, parks, and lakes are named after.
I live near Lake Ramona. Who is Ramona, who owns the lake, how was it created, etc? Can we fish on the lake?
Who is Charles Hardy, Bill Carruth, Virgie Ballentine, Jimmy Lee Smith, Wendy Bagwell, C.W. Sims, etc?
I would really love to know! I'm sure there are plenty of others I haven't listed.
Thanks!

I don't know, but it can't hurt to check it out.
I sure didn't have any luck! It was so crowded, and most of the jobs were, how do you say it politely,...not good for long term security?
I did win a gift card to Home Depot. That was nice. Oh, and I was dressed nicely.

Good day!
I am new to Hiram GA and I am looking for daytime work in a managerial position or in an office/customer service environment. I have over 13 years of retail management experience and I am very responsible and organized. I am curently going to school at night to finish my Bachelors degree in business administration. If you are looking for a dependable, responsible and business/customer oriented person, then look no further! Thanks for your time! Attached is my managerial resume.

Hi. In the same boat as you, looking for a good position to call "home". May I critique your resume? Too late. I would lose your high school (you have an associates and are aiming higher...what hiring manager cares that you graduated high school in the 80s?), have a separate page for your references (and not post the phone numbers of people you want to continue to like you on the internet), and that should help cut it down to 1 page.
You have a ton of experience and would beat me if it came down to that. Good luck on your search, and seriously, I hope I haven't offended...just trying to help!

Ok, I'm new here...how does the tax work for Paulding? I live in Hiram, and I've been told there isn't a city charged tax. Is this true? Give me the 411...
