  1. Massive earthquake hits Alabama and does 10 million in improvements. LOL Glad no one was injured. When do you think we will have a repeat of one that caused the Mississippi to flow backwards? When we lived in Summerville, SC, near Charleston, we had a few shakes. Fault goes from Charleston up through Summerville. Usually a slight roar and then a boom. Weird. They had one that wrecked havoc in Charleston years ago. Did you know North America is moving one inch a year away from Europe? Caused by mid Atlantic fault movement and volcano in Iceland. Last big one in 1782 caused ash full of sulph
  2. A neighbor, who is from Georgia but not from Paulding County, made a statement about that if some of the ‘old timers’ had there way PC would be in covered wagons and have dirt road. Some people just don’t like progress. It’s sad that the past BOC were more concerned about getting hundreds of homes built to get more property taxes without planning for increased infrastructure. Just plain irresponsible. Follow the money. Drive around the county and notice all the new intersections and road improvements. Somebody in our county government is doing positive things. We need to make road improvem
  3. Your pergola looks like it is made of metal. If it is wood I suggest you install 2 X 2's going across the 2 X's. That way whatever you plant to grow will have more to attach to and spread. Or if metal you could attach wooden lattice with plastic ties after staining (solid stain) to match the pergola. I have a pergola and just planted a climbing rose......."Golden Showers", a bright yellow rose.
  4. At Saddlebrooke on Old Cartersville 4 miles west of New Hope we got hit with pea size hail for about 5 minutes. Weather radio keeps going off. And they say the worst is coming tonight. Hope we don't get what happen last year with baseball size hail. Our insurance carrier will be crying in their beer.
  5. Try not drinking that cheap wine. But if you don't drink maybe you need to drink a little wine before bed.
  6. Yeah, when does the pollen stop in Paulding? I usually wait until late April. My granddaughter wanted me to pull the cover off today so she could go swimming.
  7. Compared to some I'm a newcomer moving to Paulding in 1997. Moved from Marietta because of the traffic and undesirables moving into the neighborhood (if you know what I mean). First time out here I thought it was isolated with a Kmart and gas station in Hiram. Wife talked me into looking at a new subdivision on Old Cartersville. Third to buy in '97. Had to go to Marietta to shop. We knew where on Old Cartersville the turkeys, coyotes and deer cross so we slowed way down. Then the then BOC let all the developers have a field day and four new subdivisions went up on Old Cartersville. Gone are th
  8. I turned on one of the local TV stations at 11 PM last night to see news of the earthquake. Guess what was their top story? Tiger Woods coming back to playing golf. Go figure.
  9. Go to Pickett's Mill State Park and talk to the ranger. He can show you a strange photo that can't be explained. Also stories of people's experience in the park. They are open Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
  10. May God's blessing be on all p.commers. Happy Easter.
  11. The SS death benefit has been $250 for years and years. Due to inflation it should be about $500 now. When poor people died and had no insurance they would put pennies on their eyelids. When people would come by to pay respect they would leave money to help pay for the funeral. Today people would consider that an insult. If some Congress person would propose to raise the SS death benefit there would be Congress persons on the other side to oppose it. It doesn't matter if a Democrat or a Republican brought it up. And if you really think the health care bill is a God send you are smoking som
  12. The snow was caused by Stupac selling his soul for a piece of paper from Obama that government funds won't be used for the ABO.... Since it can't happen God made it snow for the "snow-job" Obama has done to the USA.
  13. A lot of people think they are the only one on the road or that they are 'special' and can drive any way they want. They have no respect for other drivers. Maybe the best thing to do when someone is blatantly not being aware of others is roll down your window, honk your horn and holler "wake up and pay attention you idiot". They will start driving responsibly, shoot you the bird or turn their car into you. Lots of wackos on the road. Best just to back off and keep clear. I always drive defensively. But there are times............
  14. Would it be considered road rage if, while driving, someone was on the cell phone in front of you and going 10 to 15 mph below the speed limit and holding up a line of traffic and you sit on your horn until they get off the phone?
  15. For the Census to be fair they should have a question: 'Are you an undocumented residence.' And add an explanation that 'This is to make sure you get food stamps, welfare and free health care'. Now THAT would make a difference and tell the truth at the same time. And why shouldn't we put 'American' as race? We are such an inbred country (between Irish, English, African, oriental, Hispanic, etc.) that it doesn't really matter. The only reason the Feds want it is to make sure certain 'races' get more of the share of monies from Fed programs. That's racist by our government. Makes you wonder
  16. List the male head house as "male", wife as "female" and list offspring as male (or female) child #1, male (or female) child #2, etc. And I guess there is no more "Negro" race. You are brown, black, tan, mahogany, or mulatto (Obama). But then again there are no "Caucasian". You are "white". So if our "government" can change or eliminate races we can do it also and just list yourself as AMERICAN. Of course if you are not sure just write in "Heinz 57". Since I have Scot and Irish can I write in Scish or Ircot. Just kidding because I don't want the Acorn police to come after me. They might make m
  17. Salt system is the way to go. Cost a little more up front but in the long run it is cheaper. Years ago at another residence we had a chlorine system and the chemicals were more expensive and we had to take a shower and wash bathing suits because of the chlorine. As long as you check the water on a salt system as recommended you won’t have any problems and will save money. We've had ours since July '06 and wouldn't have any other system.
  18. Just curious if history books decided by Texas will have a lot about the Alamo. Problem with history taught today DISTORTS facts or truths. Civil War is taught that it was only over slavery and that Lincoln was a nice person. If you read the facts slavery came out only because the north was loosing and Lincoln cared only about saving the union and really didn't care about blacks. Lincoln did away with Habeas Corpus in violation of Constitution. And you won't read that the north had more KKK than the south in the 20's and 30's. Also that Communism and Nazism was big at one time in America. Reli
  19. Nope. Nine with the first. She had this problem like wanting to snort white line in the road if you catch my drift. Real wacko. Second 34 years this month. Might work out. Best thing that ever happened to me. Sure has kept me on the straight and narrow. Real keeper.
  20. Add the fact that the moon moves over an inch a year AWAY from earth. Maybe that's why we are having earthquakes. Battle of gravities between earth and moon. When man went to the moon and left junk it weighted the moon causing it to move away (sounds go huh). Will the less pull make all the tides lower? What's going to happen when it looses earth's gravity? Go spinning off and run into us when our orbit comes back around.
  21. Well E X C U S E M E! I certainly don't wish anyone to have to go through an earthquake or any other disaster for that matter. It was a political statement. Take it for what it was. Don't get your pants in a wad. Lighten up.
  22. Check this site out for where and what time earthquakes have happen after the 8.8 in Chile. Even California and Alaska. The 8.8 caused 2 ft. waves in Lake Pontchartrain. http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/recenteqsww/Quakes/quakes_all.html And to understand how an earthquake from one plate can cause an earthquake on another plate go to this site: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.ofspiritandsoul.com/images/vortices/tectonic-plates.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.ofspiritandsoul.com/earth%2520vortices/tectonic.html&h=433&w=634&sz=80&tbnid=jvc4ki_zOoOiF
  23. And there were earthquakes in the Northwest. There is a horse shoe shaped islands in the northwest Pacific that has had earthquakes lately. Then came Haiti, then Japan and now Chile. Kind of full circle. The experts on earthquakes say Yellowstone is over due for a quake (volcano activity). And don't forget the Missouri area where the last big quake sent the Mississippi flowing the opposite direction. And then there's San Francisco. But since Pelosi is from there and all the perverts who cares. Maybe the Mayans knew something after all. Earthquakes, below average temperatures, flooding, sev
  24. Excuse me but what is the site for listening to Paulding sheriff and fire departments?
