Maybe they have a home standby generator. My parents have one.
The entire subdivision has power behind me.

Still no power near East Paulding and 92 but the house behind me in another subdivision never lost power. I could throw a rock and hit their house. I just don't understand.

Still no power here near East Paulding High School.

Just got the news. 5 fire trucks on the scene.

Welcome to PCOM. We are so glad to have you here.
I'm glad you install flat screen tv's and surround sound systems. It's hard to find someone local.
Thanks for the welcome DG. If you ever have any questions or need any advice when it comes to video or electronics just shoot me a message!

I don't think that we really give a lot of thought of what would happen to our photo memories in times of disaster, such as hurricanes, tornadoes or fires. Often those photos may be of long-gone relatives with whom we had a special bond. One of my most priced possessions is a photo of my paternal grandmother with all of her children. A photo taken just months before my dad's twin brother passed away. It was the last photo taken of all of them. I would really hate to lose that picture. It means so much to me. I would love to have all of the really special photos put on a disc that I can put in a fire-proof box or a safe deposit box. Maybe someday.
Please do get involved!! Get the word out about what you do. I've seen it and I'm VERY impressed! I'm not one to be easily impressed either.
It all started when my neighbors house burned down and they were trying to recover some items the next day. Most of their pictures were burned and some were repairable with photoshop. Most people don't even think about all of their pictures in shoe boxes in their closet or video tapes in the entertainment center until after the fact.
To be prepared, start transferring your home videos to dvd and make an extra copy to give to a friend or family member just in case something happens. You can also put them in a safe deposit box. As far as your old photographs are concerned, start scanning them as soon as possible and upload them to a free picture
storage site such as flickr or shutterfly and your pictures will be safe forever! Even digital pictures can be lost if your camera and computer are in your house and a fire or tornado happens suddenly. Anytime you take some pictures make sure you upload them to a free storage account as soon as possible. When your on vacation, transfer your pictures from your camera to
your laptop or tablet computer and upload them through wifi wherever your staying. Most hotels offer free wifi these days. Also, with big SD storage cards these days 16gig, 32gig, 64,gig, etc., a lot of people tend to forget about transferring all of those pictures and videos because they have plenty of storage. You never know if someone might steal your camera out of your
house or hotel room. Those memories will probably be gone forever if that happens.
A great way to start saving your old VHS Movies is to get a premium membership on paulding.com for $29.95 and get 2 free VHS to DVD conversions! My normal price is $20.00 per tape. This is a $40.00 value!!! Like I said earlier, it's like we are paying you $10.00 to upgrade your membership and get 2 VHS to DVD conversions!!!

THANKS, Pubby. I didn't think so but thought I would ask. I need a laptop repaired since Nick isn't taking in new work.
Hey SS,
I do a little computer repair on the side as long as it's a desktop. When it comes to laptops I run away like a lot of other people. I do have a cousin in Powder Springs that works on them though. He is very good. I call him when I can't figure something out. I can give you his info if your interested.
My main business is video production and tape transfers. Now I work out of my basement studio near East Paulding H.S. I used to be located in Evans Mill Office Park. Give me a shout if you need any info or advice on video. I'm also into installing flat screen tvs
and surround sound systems.

Not taking jokes too well right now. Sorry.
I would like to officially welcome Media Man to Pcom! Glad to have you aboard. What took you so long??? I've been working on getting you here for almost two years!
Thanks S&DN !!! I guess good things come to those who wait! Give me a few days to get used to pcomming. Gotta figure out and experiment some on posting. I'm glad to be here. I have just always visited this site to see what's going on in Paulding but now I can really get involved!

It really is a great deal. My regular price to transfer 2 VHS Tapes is 40.00! It's kinda like we are paying you 10.00 to upgrade your membership!

What about that song by REM called " It's the end of the world as we know it"

I have been wanting to go to this place in Tennessee. It's a long drive
but they have a lot of trails and a lot of events going on. ATV Tractor Pulls,
mud bogs, drag races, etc. Check it out.

Royal Pet Resort in Hiram has that track next door, I believe.
I checked on that place a while back. It's owned by Extreme Machines and
they only let kids ride on that track. Thanks for the info.

Closest place legally is in Cedartown, Highland Park http://www.highlandparkresort.com/
Thanks for the info. It looks like a great place !

Looking for a good legal place to ride 4-wheelers for me and my family that is not
too far away from Dallas. Any Suggestions ?
Power out anyone?

Still waiting on power off Brooks Rackley and Easy Paulding. Our subdivision has underground utilities but that doesn't mean anything when the lines feeding it are above ground. A neighbor said he saw 2 Greystone trucks on Brooks Rackley earlier so we are keeping our fingers crossed.
