  1. I am leaving work today at 3, along with a co-worker who also lives in Paulding. We are going all the way to Yorkville!! I pray that it's not too long of a wait. Everyone says it's in an out there!!!

  2. New Georgia Library will probably be closest to you. It is right on Ridge Rd close to 61.

     

     

    I went there yesterday afternoon. Got there about 4:30. Two and a half to 3 hour wait. I have a severely sprained ankle from my visit to the pumpkin patch on Saturday. I don't mind standing in line, but my doctor said to stay off my foot. I guess I had some type of illusion that there wouldn't be a line!!!

     

    I am going to try the Hiram Community Center to see if it's any better. If not, hopefully my ankle will be better by Friday, when I have the day off. Then I can stand in line.

     

  3. I cannot even begin to express the sadness in my heart at this devastating news. I don't know this family, but I do know that I have been praying for the 9-year-old's recovery and strength for the rest of the family. The only peace in this is that this little boy is now with his mother. My God give the dad strength to get though this most difficult time. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with him.

     

     

  4. There was a thread a few days ago about pumpkins, hay rides, etc. just off Mulberry Rock Road. All I can remember is that you go through the 4-way stop at 61 and Ridge/Mulberry Rock.

     

    Can someone tell me how to find the link or give me exact directions?

     

    Thanks so much!!

  5. My daughter had a hard time naming her boys. Their daddy is hispanic so she named her oldest after him but gave him a decent middle name -- Jairo (pronounced hi-dough) Adrian.

     

    The youngest is named Daneil Gustavo (after his deceased uncle).

     

    At least they have normal names that they go by.

     

     

  6. DO NOT PARK AT WHITE WATER!!!! We waited 2 hours for the busses to get back to the lot, and we werent but 50 yards from them to start with, i would have hated to be at the end of the line, they might be getting on the busses about now!!!!! that was the worst part, but the show overall was great!

     

     

    You've got that right!!! I took my 3-year-old grandson. He was so excited about riding the bus!! We coudn't get into the actual parking lot at White Water, so we parked at an office park up the street and walked. That wasn't too bad. We got on the bus and they took us the long way back to the airshow. They got on the interstate!! Couldn't quite figure out why they did that. When we got there, it took forever for them to let us off the bus. Then we had to get scanned. They told us we had to wait in the long line because I had my purse, but there were other people with purses, backpacks, diaper bags, etc. getting to go through the much shorter lines. We finally got inside and it was great. Adrian absoluely loved it!!

     

    Due to the large crowd, I decided it might be a good idea to leave before the Thunderbirds actually finished. We should have got back in line to leave the minute we got there!!! It was the most disorganized mess I've ever been in. There were so many people and no one telling us exactly where we needed to be. We stood in line for way over an hour and moved less than 3 feet. I have an extremely bad back/hip and can't stand up for long periods of time unless I'm walking. Also, my grandson was exhausted and wanted me to hold him. I decided I'd call my daughter to come pick us up since she lives off Terrell Mill Road. That's when I discovered I'd left my cell phone in the car!!!!

     

    Finally, I decided it would be better to walk to my daughter's friend's apartment and call someone to come get us. I got home at 7:30. I'll bet that some people didn't get back to their cars for hours. I don't know how they could do it better, but there's got to be a way.

     

    I certainly wouldn't recommend anyone with young kids or physical problems trying to go.

     

    I guess it was worth it because Adrian had a wonderful time, but I certainly wouldn't do it just for myself!!! I just feel sorry for the poor people who had no other choice than to wait on the bus to take them back to Whitewater.

     

  7. She's definitely old enough. I think it looks so cute on teenagers!! I had my daughter's done for her 14th birthday present. She is 23 now and had to take it out when she got pregnanet with her 1st son. She had a lot of different belly jewelry and always looked so cute in her bathing suit. What upset me was when she came home with her tongue pierced at 15. Her boyfriend's dad signed for the both of them to get it done. She didn't leave it in long because it was hard for her to find a job because of it and she really wanted to start saving for a car.

     

    I ended up having mine done after I lost a lot of weight and was down to a size 7. I've since taken it out because I gained weight and am way too big to wear anything to show it off!!!

     

    Let her get it done, but make sure it's a reputable place.

  8. They grow up way too fast!! My youngest is 23 and has two sons of her own. The oldest is 3 and the youngest is 17 months. I look at her and still can hardly believe those two precious boys are hers. I feel like she's too young to have kids!! It seems like only yesterday that she was so excited about her first date. We had all the talks, and she was a good girl. She only had one fairly serious relationship while in high school. I was thankful that she didn't get too wrapped up in any one boy until after she graduated.

     

    I think the best thing to do with kids these days is communicate. My kids told me stuff that I sometimes didn't want to hear. But they would come to me with everything. Some of their friends did, too. Stick to your guns and set down rules. That's the best advise I can give regarding dating.

     

     

  9. I was glad when Casey finally became a "suspect", and I'm really glad to hear that her father will testify against her. I feel like her mother knows a whole lot more than she is telling.

     

    If one of my grandchildren went missing in circumstances like those with Caylee, I would not allow my child to come back into my house. I know that's harsh, but if my child murdered my grandchild, I'd be done with them. I would still love them, but you can love someone without having to be around them. I would never act like Casey's parents and try to shield my child from the public or whatever else they are doing.

  10. There is no way, with things as crazy as they are, that I'd leave a child in the car unless they were at least 11 or 12. You just never know what might happen. And, to me, it was more dangerous for this child to be out of the car and wandering around the parking lot than it was if he'd have stayed in the car. Either way, the grandmother should have taken him inside with her. My daughter would probably refuse to let me take my grandkids anywhere ever again if I did something stupid like that.

     

    My grandkids mean far too much to me. I would never jeopardize their safety for any reason.

  11. Thanks so much for the information. I couldn't make any sense of my escrow statement. I'm not very good with math anyway. I just know that $75 a month is way too big a jump. I'll be calling them on Tuesday when I get back into town.
