  1. there is a laundrymat in Powder Springs, at the redlight over the bridge past the KFC. it is down in a dip, beside a daycare center. Anyway, you can drop off your comforter and the lady there will wash and dry it, put it in a plastic bag for you and you can pick it up all clean and fresh for 10 bucks! Might be a drive for you, but I live in Powder Springs, so it works out great for me.

     

    I know exactly where this is!! Pass it everyday on my way to/from work. I have a king-size down comforter that my daughter gave me, but it needs cleaning bad!! I'll be dropping it off on Tuesday!!

     

     

     

  2. We just got back from PC Beach on Friday. It was a miserable vacation!! Only one day of decent weather. We got there late Sunday afternoon and it was pretty nice. It was obvious that it had rained earlier in the day, but the ocean and pool were warm. Monday it was cloudy and COLD!!! There was a little sun on Tuesday, but it was still way too cold to lay out. Wednesday was good. It warmed up and was nice. We walked on the beach in the morning and layed out all afternoon. Thursday was warmer and ok up until about 2:00 when the rain started. I am usually depressed when it's time to come home, but we left at 7:30 Friday morning and I was never so glad to be coming home!!

     

    I hope you have a better time!!!

  3. What an adorable baby boy!!!

     

    It goes way too fast. My youngest will turn 24 in June and has two baby boys ofher own. One just turned 2 and the other will turn 4 in July. My oldest is 26 and has a beautiful 8-month-old baby girl. I still find it hard to believe my babies have babies of their own!!!

     

     

  4. I never take mine off unless it's to get them cleaned. Then they go right back on. My husband doesn't wear his when he works because it could be dangerous since he's in construction.

  5. I will be in Panama City and won't get to watch. I know it probably comes on there, too, but my husband hates all reality shows and refuses to watch!! I'll have to watch it on line when I get home. We picked a bad week for vacation. . .I'll miss the finals of Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, and the first Bachelorette!!

     

     

     

  6. I am a firm believer in 2nd chances. I recently found out a close family member is dealing with meth addiction. My heart breaks because there are children involved. This person just made some very bad choices because of some people they got involved with. I hope someone will be willing to provide a 2nd chance when the time comes.

     

    I wish you and your son the very best of luck!!!

  7. In talking to several people who have had to file bankruptcy, Chapter 13 is really a waste of time. It still ruins your credit and doesn't help you get your credit restarted. If it were me, I'd file a Chapter 7, so that I wouldn't have to worry about them taking any of my money that I might need to live on. That's just my observations and opinion. The best thing is to get advise from a bankruptcy attorney.

  8. My heart breaks for your sister. This happened to my daughter, but she was having some complications and we knew something was wrong. Two weeks later, the same thing happened to my stepdaughter. It was devastating to both of them, as well as the rest of the family. Those two babies were wanted very badly.

     

    I will keep your sister and your family in my prayers.

  9. If this is the fellas first offense, it is possible that he made an error in judgement. One that's cost him years of his life (as it should) and will force him to endure years of struggle. However, those have made these mistakes (at least the first time) should be given the opportunity to go back out into the world (under some sort of surveliance, ie parole) and prove that they can be a valuable member of society, that they have learned appropriate behavior and management techniques.

     

    Sorry--just can't agree with this statement. I hardy consider rape of a child an "error in judgement". An error in judgement is the teenager having sex with his girlfriend who doesn't want to be considered "bad" in her parents' eyes when they get caught. Rape, sodomy, etc. of a young child is NOT an error in judgment. It's a sick, perverted thing to do and there is no excuse for it. In my book, they shouldn't have any rights because they sure as hell didn't care about the rights of the child whose life they ruined.

     

    My daughter was raped/sodomized/molested by her stepfather beginning when she was 11. She didn't tell anyone until she was 19 and that was because she wanted to make sure he hadn't molested her younger sister. For years, the psychologists and social workers said she exhibited all the symptoms of a child who was molested. She denied it until her stepfather and I separated. And this was the kindest, most gentle man I'd ever met. He had a definite opinion about what should be done to child molesters. Unfortuntely, he was doing the same thing he was wanting to kill other people for. His whole family, his ex-wife, and several of his friends knew he'd molested his own sister and had also been molested by his stepfather. These people knew and didn't bother to tell me when I began dating him knowing I had two little girls. Looking back, I see a pattern because he only dated women with young female children.

     

    My daughter is now 26 and suffers every single day from what that bastard did to her. She was in YDC and quite a few treatment facilities from the age of 11 until she turned 17. To this day, she has nightmares and can't stand to be at home alone. She's terrified that when he gets out of prison, he will try to find her. He was found guilty on all 5 counts that he was charged with. He received 30 years/do 15. I felt so guilty for so long because I had no idea what he had done to her. When the psychologists first suspected molestation, we all thought it was her biological father. Of course, the stepfather was real quick to point the finger at him, too.

     

    I have a real hard time trusting anyone with my grandchildren. Both my girls are very hesitant to leave them with anyone other than me. The baby is in daycare while my daughter attends school, but she wouldn't leave her anywhere that didn't have video cameras so that we can watch her all the time to make sure she's safe. You just can't be too careful with your children. Like others have said, it can be someone very familiar with you and your children. It's not always a stranger.

     

    I still feel guilty that this happened to my daughter because I fell in love with and married a man who was really a monster. I will live with that guilt for the rest of my life.

     

    Bottom line is, this man did not make an error in judgement. He planned this whole thing from the time we met. He knew I had two little girls, was alone, and wanted a good man in our lives. He portrayed that good man. What a lie he was living! No--these types of people are sickos and not just someone who made an error in judgement.

  10. We went Saturday. It was fun! We didn't go to the actual circus, just walked around and looked at stuff. My 3-year-old grandson wanted to play some games, and we were pleasantly surprised at how the booth workers let him have prizes even when he didn't really win!! My daughter rode 2 rides and we ate some roasted corn. Never could find a place selling funnel cakes!! I was very disappointed because that's what I really wanted!!

     

    It's a lot like the fair only not as much food or exhibits. It doesn't cost anything to go in unless you go to the circus. If you like the fair, you'll have a good time.

  11. Here is a question that will get me killed.

     

    Where are these people suppose to live? I understand the frustration and the fear but they have done their time and if we are to actually believe our system works been rehabbed?

     

    I don't believe these people can be "rehabbed". Not the ones on there for statutory rape, but the ones for child molestation and other such offenses. These people have a sickness just like alcoholism or drug addiction. They have to fight every day to control those impulses. Just because they have done their time doesn't mean they are cured and won't commit the same crimes or worse again. Just look at Michael Ledford. He'd been to prison and done his time, but look what he did to Jennifer Ewing.

     

    I don't know where they are supposed to live, but I'm thankful none live in my neighborhood.

  12. Somehow another post got into this one, so I deleted it.

     

    We sit on our back porch armed with fly swatters!! We've killed a bunch of bees over the weekend. In fact, I killed one just before I came in to check out P.com!!! Hubby has done a lot of work on our back deck, and they want to eat our new wood!!

  13. OH MY!!! I can't imagine! My friend found out that a sex offender was living in her subdivision, but the charge wasn't as serious as the one who's moved in next to you. She was told by the sheriff's department that there was nothing that she could do and that the man had to live somewhere. At least you were notified. I was checking the list and saw that there was someone on the list in her neighboorhood, so I called her. She still doesn't let her daughter go outside without supervision.

     

    It's a shame they have have as many rights as they do.

     

     

  14. We've always had lizards around out back porch, deck, and flower beds. I saw one yesterday just sunning himself on one of the porch rails. They are the cutest little things!! Sometimes I'm lucky enough to catch one, and I like the way they will open their mouths trying to scare you!! One time my husband put his finger in one's mouth and he latched on!! Didn't hurt, but he sure was hanging on!!

     

    It amazes me how they will turn from green to brown when you hold them!

  15. I work with a girl whose daughter's godmother lives in the same subdivison as the girl who was driving the car. There's a lot of talk and speculation, but this is what's being said:

     

    1. Driver was a "good girl" who braided the younger girls' hair in the summer.

     

    2. She had a problem with speeding in the neighborhood. She'd been yelled at by neighbors several times.

     

    3. The mother was supposedly out of town on business when the accident happened.

     

    4. She works for the school system.

     

    5. The grandmother might be suffering from alzheimers or some type of early dementia.

     

    6. Law enforcement has been seen in the neighborhood for the past several days and everyone has been curious as to what was going on.

     

    If the mother and grandmother knew 2 days after the incident, they should have immediately called the police. There is no way I could just go about my business knowing my child played a part in this horrific accident. I feel the mother should be charged and the grandmother, too, if she is mentally ok. This is not just a traffic accident. . .5 lives were lost because of this girl's carelessness. She, as well as everyone who knew and kept quiet, should receive the most severe punishment possible.

     

     

     

     

  16. I cannot comprehend how someone can just go about their business as if nothing happened after causing the deaths of 5 people. Last night, the news said a grandmother, mother, and granddaughter had been taken in for questioning. I think the other two should be charged with something because they had to know about the accident. The pictures of the BMW didn't show any damage, so it must have been fixed. To me, it seems that charges should be brought against the body shop who repaired the car, too.

     

    I'm just glad they know who did this and, hopefully, justice will prevail.

  17. It is a dangerous crossing, for sure.

     

     

     

    And I'll never understand why someone invariably feels compelled to make assumptions such as this before anyone even knows the details of an accident...or for that matter, even after the information is available.

     

    Comments of this nature serve no useful purpose that I can see.

     

    I don't think the poster meant any harm by their comment. There was another car/train accident at this crossing a while back (can't remember when, but it was at night), and I also wondered how the driver didn't see the train. This particular crossing has such a clear view of both directions, it IS hard to imagine how someone could not see the train even if they don't hear it. I don't personally have to use this crossing but see it every time I leave from Target or any of the other stores around there. I don't care if there are bars and lights. I always slow down and take a good look in both directions before proceeding at any crossing. That's just good common sense.

     

    My heart goes out to the person who was injured in this accident. I will keep them and their family in my prayers.

  18. My cat is bad about finding baby bunnies this time of year. He's killed several but, last year, he brought one in and I saved it. I posted on here and everyone advised me to let it go. I took it up the road to the elementary school and let it go in a big patch of underbrush. When I sat him down, he ran like he was on fire. I hope he survived.

     

    My friend raised a baby bunny. She named him Lucky and fed him from a tiny little bottle. He lived for several weeks and appeared to be doing fine. All of a sudden, he died. It was very sad.
