  1. Pubby, at least be consistent in your posts. Your response in #2 post said "I don't go on facebook", yet you replied in post #29 "...as I only go rarely on facebook".
  2. I'd call this out. JS was instrumental in getting the airport started. GDOT has a lot of influence. I call BS on this. Watch out folks!!!!
  3. May I ask in your thinking. Who funds the USPS????? Think about it and report back!!!!!!
  4. Get a job with the Federal Gov't. They have a quite handsome benefit package.
  5. Memory serves me right. Blake lied to the BOC saying the Airport Fire Apparatus Truck was a requirement from the FAA (it's on video) which the BOC approved a $500,000 from SPLOST $$$$ to purchase. The "dust bunny" collector was housed at a hanger, and moved elsewhere. Who knows how much money the County spent on it just to keep it maintained over the years (if they did) yet taking almost $200,000 hit on the sale. Bottom line, it was not a requirement from the FAA!! Almost wonder where the $310,000 will be allocated in the budget????
  6. May I add, just even as a General Aviation Airport has been a failure. Please prove me otherwise. Other than the local folks calling out the commercialization, has the General Airport even demonstrated an interest and/or profit????
  7. Ok. Grant $$$$ comes from where???? Um, taxpayers! The links you provided were disappointing if I were a big business to relocate needing high speed fiber optic. My question was, it there ACTUALLY high speed fiber optic installed as a former BOC Chairman stated for businesses??? Reminds of years ago with the widening of 278. Had a friend that worked for PCDOT. All the work they did running all the conduit underground for better traffic control on the lights, funding ran out and the conduit was empty. Signs were in place above the underground conduit as well as the visible corner control bo
  8. But, my question was if IN FACT it was in place??? Forget who is going to pay for it, thought it was already installed underground Memories serves Parker Fiber Net or such had a connection.
  9. IMO Douglas was on board many years ago to welcome high tech companies with high speed fiber. Past history a company I worked for was based in Cobb, but we had our redundant data center located out in Douglas. IT dept got word that data center was about to go under. They did a midnight "get our equipment out" while hooking up to another redundant facility in Cobb. Sure enough they went under but do believe that is where Google assumed the lease and facility a few months later. But bottom line, does Paulding County actually have the high tech fiber lines in place to attract businesses like
  10. First time I met Thad & Melissa was at Jalapeno Joes many years ago. Still never understood his love for chicken wings at a Mexican Restaurant. But others can attest, he knows poultry and had some fine culinary skills he would share on this forum. Saw him a few years working the Paulding Meadows arts & crafts either representing Lyons or Rotary Club? Additionally believe he was heavily involved as a sponsor and/or Captain for the annual fundraising for the American Cancer Society.
  11. Could be other media outlets like the poster below stated. It is public if you know how to look. 100% of any crew/extras casting calls I have been hired are through FB. Trust me, there is a bunch of productions around that area
  12. My advice would be going with an attorney. You can do it online with forms or stuff, and get some folks to rubber stamp it..........but no. You can actually do this if you have time. I recently dealt with this and did not cost me other then time & travel on my Mothers behalf.
  13. Aside from auto I'll chime in about "wind & hail" insurance. I live on the east coast in NC. If you have a mortgage you are required to have wind & hail insurance beyond your home owners and auto insurance. A couple of years ago they (State and Insurance) decided to raise the w&h insurance by around 37% for property owners on or near the coast. WTF? We have not had ANY major hurricanes here! Try to absorb $1900/yr just for wind & hail policy. Combined my homeowners and umbrella policy is about a 1/4 of the W&H policy
  14. Not sure, just an observation a couple of week ago on NYE. Four hyped up on something trying to figure what seafood to buy, and had another on the phone asking how much was on the card. I believe I heard $700 and some change. OK. Just my thought they were loaded on some thing but yet to purchase a bunch of seafood and meats on the food stamp card................seafood and meats. Is this a problem? I thought so but continued on with my shopping
  15. Good memory. The Mayor of Dallas and a local Lawyer ran that business off. IMO, dang fine food. What a shame after the renovation in the courtyard, that the city would run a business off.
  16. Let it be legal and tax it. I am amazed not one posting brought up the prescription "happy pills" folks are on nowadays. I know a few folks - no bloodshot eyes from burning a doobie, or smell of alcohol, but damn sure happy being on certain prescription meds. And they are driving around you all day long, loaded up on "happy" pills. JMO, I'd rather be sharing the road with the folks that just burned a joint instead of loaded up on booze or prescription pain/anxiety pills
  17. Hydroponic growing. End result cures most
  18. I do not wish any ill heath on another. I believe she may be exhausted and possible health issues during the campaign. Although it should be out in the voters public arena if she does have health issues. BTW.........wth was Bill? Yet to see any news reports as to his whereabouts
  19. HA. I should pull out my hs albums and scan pics. Known Allman Bros Duane Allman and Berry Oakley both tragically passed away from accidents about a year out, just blocks away. Worked after school (first job @ 15) Candance Oakley & Jaimoe (drummer) were customers. Full service gas station. Was a trip to go out to their "farm" if they needed a tow!!!!, much less making it back to the station. I joke, super down to earth people. Memorial grave site for Berry and Duane is surreal. It's on the river next to each other @ Rose Hill I believe. Both carved out of "guitar" images. Polluted with
  20. Grew up as a teen in Macon and attended high school with Otis III and his sister. Private Catholic school, Mount De Sales. A couple of tidbits and I have many more. Otis never had the opportunity to perform live "sitting on the dock of the bay". It was a studio recording. Plane crash happened afterwards. The property they lived on was in the neighboring county of Macon. Richard Pryor was a great family friend and would visit often. The stories first hand I could talk about as Macon was known for musical talent....Allman Brothers, Little Richard, Phil Walden that owned Capricorn Records, Wi
  21. LOL. He spilled his thoughts about that place MANY times!!! Good times on peecom back then
