There is a lot about supporting Paulding business, but the problem is there are just too many. They have built so much in Hiram that I still don't even know what all is down there and don't bother looking. If I haven't missed it yet I probably don't need it.
Someone one here one day was wishing we had a Cold Stone Creamry in Hiram. I pointed out that there has been one down there for about 4 or 5 years (maybe more). They had no idea. Everything is so crammed together down there you will go blind and crash looking for stuff.
Well then come to Dallas

And this forecast is based upon what, exactly?
Obviously supply and demand aren't driving the prices as was stated previously if this can be forecast in advance and during a time of decreased consumption, no less.
So what gives?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that it was intended with some degree of sarcasm?
Hopefully. Otherwise, you're correct. It's ignorant. And off topic.

Where is Sav a ton?
Across from the Ingles just past Pizza Hut on Hwy 6

Our Basset Hound is 1 year old and she is very excitable and it has taken 6 months for our 3 year old granddaughter to get used to her. Geraldine (the basset) wants to jump up on her when she gets here so we have to scold her and calm her down and then she is fine with Shelby (our granddaughter), but it takes about 20 minutes then Shelby isn't afraid of her. It is just the nature of the breed. They love to be outside and run, yes, chase cats and anything else. Geraldine now weighs close to 50 lbs and so I have to be very firm with her. Our poodle changed after we got her...only for the better in our case. He is not as demanding, he stopped his peeing in the floor when he was mad at us and is not nearly as emotional as he was before we got her, so she has been good for him. But this breed is NOT for everyone. Because she is so long and tall when she stands up, she can reach the kitchen table and kitchen counters and gets the paper towels and shreds them when she is mad at us, she has taken my cell phone (still not to be found) and is into everything like a 2 year old. So I understand where you are at.
I'm sorry she didn't work out for your family but am glad you found a foster home to take her. They will work with her and hopefully she will calm down some before finding a permanent home. I can imagine how upset you are to have to do it, it would be heartbreaking for me to have to let go of Geraldine, but if she was snapping at my baby (or grandchild), I would do the same thing. It is just not worth the risk.
I'm sure she will be just fine with the foster home. They are accustom to dealing with dogs with behavioral problems (if they are a rescue foster parent). You are doing the right thing for your family and that is all you can do.
Take care.

I think the paper towel thing must be something with that breed, because my dog absolutely can't resist napkins/paper towels and when he does get hold of one he'll hold it between his front paws and shred it to bits with his teeth. If I have a paper towel or napkin in my hand and refuse to let him have it, it makes him crazy.
I really don't think the dog that is the subject of this thread would be a problem; it's my dog that concerns me. He's spoiled and he's too cocky for his own good when it comes to other dogs he feels have invaded his space. Size is not a consideration, and he has the scars to prove it.
-
Ah it's not so much that nobody wants him as that many of us who do can't take him. As I said, I'd love to have him, but I just don't think it would work in my situation.
-
I'd love to have him, but I have a very spoiled male beagle/bassett mix who isn't neutered and I don't think that would go over well at all. He is gorgeous.
I'm wondering if his problems might somehow be related to his being the 'top' dog (especially if he was the only dog) in his previous household and then being brought into a home where he isn't?

lady wants to go home and lay in bed until she dies
I think you're right, I seem to recall a similar problem at that address in the not-so-distant past.
-
with dog cases, the caller, in my opinion, often embellishes the facts to get animal control to jump higher.
In this case, the lady calls and tells how vicious this dog is, chasing all the kids and trying to bite them. When the shelter worker asks, "why don't you bring your kids in until we can get there?" the lady goes to the door and calls them in....
ha I don't think this behavior (embellishment/overreaction) is limited to dog cases, or even 911 calls.....

Don't sweat the small stuff.
It's all small stuff.
I concern myself with my attitude, and allow others to do the same.

All the time.
Once at suppertime I was asking my (ex) husband if he wanted milk to drink with his meal - he was in the next room and of course I had to ask him several times before he heard what I was saying. Every time I asked "do you want milk?" the cat, who was in the kitchen with me, would meow.
**If I let my dog help me decide what to do, I'd spend all my time riding him around in the truck and feeding him treats.
-
Nope.
Never have trick-or-treaters at my house, so if I bring candy home, I'll be the one to eat it.

their philosophy is "give it to them...no amount of money is worth the risk of losing your life"
I believe that's pretty much the philosophy of every business.
Definitely wouldn't work for anyone who felt otherwise.

You know I am glad the person who found my sons wallet in the mountains did not feel the same way as people on here do. They were walking and found his wallet beside the road ( he had left it on the top of his truck at a store and it fell off when he was going down the road). They were nice enough to mail it back with everything still in it. It made a BIG difference to him. It got home before we did.......10 dollars could be all that stands between eating and not eating to someone now days. I just could not sleep thinking I did not do all I could to help someone get THEIR OWN money back to them.
There's a world of difference in finding someone's wallet with their ID that also contains cash and finding loose cash on the ground somewhere.
Really, how do you track down the owner of cash you find on the ground beside a gas pump?

Actually, the neighbors have obtained/acquired another dog that has tried to attack my dog inside my truck (with the window down) when I turned into my driveway, and that also tried to attack a person on a motorcycle who did the same. It appears to be some kind of a large lab/something mix, and it's jumped on my dog twice (my dog is a beagle/bassett hound mix and less than half his size), once injuring him badly enough that I had to take him to the vet.
The same dog cuts across my yard on his way home when he's roaming free throughout the neighborhood, and has never behaved aggressively toward me if I happened to walk outside while he was on the other side of my yard, but I don't know that I'd jump out of my vehicle if he were between me and my front door given his previous behavior, either.
I'm one of about 3 people in my entire neighborhood who seems to feel it's necessary to observe the leash law.
-
I assume this happened at her residence? (I realize you probably don't know, hence the assumption)-I would be ticked off sure enough if I couldn't get out of my vehicle at my own home because someone else's dog was hanging around.
-
Hush you......
What kind? There is so many different versions.
I always used the bagged Tidy cat that said long lasting or something like that. You still have to change it regularly, but since my cat was one of those that never came out when there were people over, many people didn't even know I had a cat, so it works pretty well. IF you keep it changed as you should. That part bears repeating...I also fed my cat the urinary health formula food and I think that helped some, too.

Good grief. Dogs don't come with an instruction manual. My husband bought me a beautiful black cocker spaniel for Christmas years ago, and then a friend had one she got the same year and wasn't able to keep, so I took it and when it was too much to keep the dogs indoors, we put them outside. We had both dogs for a couple of years before fully realizing that cockers are absolutely not suited to living outdoors. I guess you all became experts on animal welfare without making your own share of mistakes...
At least we know who gets the credit if this person decides it's not worth the grief to find the dog another home and it gets to spend the winter outdoors.
It's disturbing to think there are this many adults who don't know when to keep their thoughts to themselves setting an example for the next generation to come.
Who are any of us to say when or under what circumstances a person should feel guilt, and how do you determine who does and doesn't already feel appropriately guilty, anyway?
What a bunch of judgemental, tactless a$$holes.

Often it's just the nature of the construction of a mobile home, especially older ones that are made of materials that contain volatile chemicals, that they tend to burn fast and hot. Don't know what caused the fire, but I do know they generally don't burn at the same rate as a site-built home.
They also tend to sustain a great deal of damage, if they're not totally destroyed for the same reason.

But when you defend the constitution against your religion, it makes people question your motives and perhaps your faith. I agree the government should not spend my money on religious displays but I assure you there are a lot more wasteful things my $ are being spent on. I'm not arguing about the expenses, just questioning motives.
So that's supposed to make it all better?
No matter how advanced society becomes, one thing won't ever change: two wrongs don't make a right.

For many decades, Christmas scenes were a part of America and our heritage and I'll be dern if that goes away due to this so-called Politcal Correctness crowd. Christmas nativity scenes and everything else was purchased by ALL cities and towns throughout those decades.
Keep it up....in 10-20 years, America will be a pure godless, plain nation with nothing to show for.
Doesn't say much for the faith of millions of believers^^that in order to remain so they require that the world display the symbols of their particular beliefs.
I always understood that the Christian faith was not 'of the world, or the things in it'...now you say that the world dictates whether or not faith endures?
If that's the case, then all the neon baby Jesus displays in the world won't cure the true ailment.

Thanks for taking the time to post the article letting everyone know what happened. I know that's not always possible, so it's appreciated whenever the information is available.

There may not be a dad in the picture...
Wasn't one at our house growing up, either, but we still behaved as we were expected. We knew what would happen if we didn't (see Freebird's a$$whooping comment above).
After seeing how my dad has dealt with problems involving my younger sister (from a subsequent marriage), I'd say my mother was the more adept of the two when it came to discipline, anyway. We had our problems from time to time, but overall her methods tended to yield the desired result...

jlh10101 You just plain suck, I don't know of a nicer way to put it.
What the hell is wrong with a man trying to protect his property?
He was screwed over.
Have you ever thought about putting yourself in someone else' s shoes. Or do you even know what that means.
What would you have done? Nothing. Do you know the details of this situation?
Who do you work for? Why do you attack a man trying to protect his property in the great nation of The United States of America?
Too few care enough to even try anymore.
I doubt anyone else would suffer in silence if they had a similar experience, either.
And howdy. Where ya been hiding?
OK.... WHO DID IT? SHEARIN OR DAVID AUSTIN?

They managed to teach us a whole lot of stuff (the time consuming, old-fashioned way at that) plus let us have a decent lunch period during which we were allowed to talk to our classmates without computers of any kind whatsoever, yet with the technology now available there isn't enough time to teach?
I'm thinking maybe we have this all backward...
