  1. It was a great game. When do you suppose we will know who we are playing next and where?
  2. Doesn't the VP typically run when his Presidential running mate has done their two terms? If so the Republicans will get the White House in 4 years. I can't see Joe Biden getting elected President.
  3. I guess that would be one of the reasons they have you check your votes at the end before submitting. I would think that most people would bring this to someone's attention so it would be fixed. Computers make mistakes too, probably more so than humans do or would do if each vote were written out and counted by hand.
  4. I voted at Moses. Pulled into the school at 12:10 pm, pulled back onto Country Farm Rd at 12:20 pm. My only complaint would be with Mother Nature. The walk to the school from the parking lot was a bit chilly .
  5. I was just looking over my sample ballot and wondered why under Public Service Commissioner it says (To Succeed Chuck Eaton) and on the other it says (To succeed Stan Wise), yet both men are listed under their particular areas? It doesn't say this under any of the other incumbents running?
  6. I have to agree with SS. This is one of the saddest things I have read in a long time and I feel just sick for the child who thank the good Lord is no longer in pain and mom who I can't imagine will ever get over this. I think I would jump in as well, perhaps she tried and the friends she was with held her back or maybe she had other children with her and was worried about them following her or wanting to protect them from seeing what was happening to their brother or friend. She may have just been in shock. I don't know but I don't believe she just just decided to let what happened happ
  7. I think it's going to be Obama and that the popular vote will be closer than the EV.
  8. The times ours arrives has varied but he likes to show up within a week or so of Halloween to take any candy laying around to the North Pole to help Santa get all fattened up in time for Christmas. We have THREE elves in our house because there was some drama when it came to naming elf #1. Luckily the headquarters are in Cobb and after attending a book signing we were allowed to purchase two elves without the books. Anyways, my kids are 12, 14 and 15 and I was surprised when my 12 year old mentioned the elf the other day and when he might be coming. It sounded like he still beli
  9. I'll vote! I'm excited that one of our county schools entered this contest. When I first heard about the contest I was hoping we would enter but since we didn't I am more than happy to give my vote to South. Good Luck!!
  10. No tree up here yet either but I am thinking about starting to get some of the decorations out if it is a slow work week. I don't know why people think just because you decorate before Thanksgiving that it means your skipping over it. Not true at all. I did buy my first Christmas gift today and was excited when I walked into Kohls to return something and saw the beautiful Christmas decorations and heard Christmas music. We usually put our tree up in the week or two before Christmas because we've been getting real trees the past few years since donating our fake one but this year I
  11. Just curious, why? We bought some firewood off the side of the road last year and it worked fine.
  12. The number of trick or treaters has been declining in our neighborhood the past few years so this year I bought full size candy bars ( One box with 6 Kit Kats, 6 Herseys and 6 Reeces and another 6 pack of Hershey bars). I probably spent about the same if not less than I usually do and all but 3 bars were left. I told my daughter to also put in some Dipps chocolate covered granola bars. When the T or T's come I let them choose what they want out of the bowl. I waited until @ 5 pm to buy them so I didn't have the problem I usually do of eating all the candy (and gaining a few pounds in
  13. I agree with Rio, cheapest isn't always best. Be sure to search online for customer reviews before signing up with anyone you are not personally familiar with. We have switched back and forth over the years between Geico and Progressive. For the last several years Progressive has given us the best deal. We get several discounts. One is for homeowners even though we don't have our homeowners insurance through them. It was offered to us because they don't offer HO insurance for our area. We also save almost $100 for paying up front for a 6 month period instead of spreading the payments
  14. When I started subbing I was called several times to substitute in Special Needs classes at two different Paulding County Elementary schools and it was an eye opener. I'll be honest I was shocked and shaken with some of the things I saw. No child was ever hurt but it is a whole different ball game taking care and teaching special needs children (not all but some). I couldn't handle it even though I knew it was necessary and eventually learned to say no when called to help in these classrooms. The teachers who work with these students are beyond angelic. These students are so sweet but at
  15. Spoiler alert for those who haven't watched tonight's episode......................... I can't not believe that Demi picked Cece over Jillian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sure they are going to find someway to make me like Cece but right now I don't care for her. Sigh....oh well. I love Carly Rose and Beatrice and that hip hop group they created and.....well I guess there are plenty of people left for me to cheer for.
  16. I don't know if he is guilty or not but he did fight it. For years. I don't think I would have fought it for that long. At some point you have to get on with your life and this fight had to be consuming much of his time and energy (and money). The people fighting against him were not going to stop until they got what they wanted, right or wrong. I would like to think he knows there is more to life that his titles.
  17. Anyone know if this is still backed up?
  18. Enjoy was definitely the wrong choice of word. I just meant that cops don't like it when they have to shoot someone but that they may feel a little less badly about it when it is a child molester or serial killer.
  19. I am sad for the family and I am sad for the officer. I believe most officers hate it when they have to shoot at someone regardless of the circumstances. It sounds like maybe this guy was a victim of someone using his home for criminal activity. Regardless it does bother me if he had something in his hand. Maybe I watch too much TV but I just wouldn't think to have ANYthing in my hands if the police asked me to raise them. I can't remember anything specific but I remember reading more than one article and seeing more than one news report where someone was shot while reaching for their p
  20. We have progressive and last year my husbands car was totaled (the other driver was at fault). Our rates did not go up but it does show up when I look at our account online. It says something next to it like forgiven or no fault. I hope they make things right for you. I have switched back and forth with Progressive and Geico because one will offer me a better deal then their price goes up so I call the other and they have a lower rate. We've been with Progressive now for several years and I would have to save a bundle for me to switch because we have been with them long enough to get a
  21. X-factor was so messed up last night I could not tell what was going on. I tried googling it on my phone and still couldn't figure it out. My son did DVR both the Xfactor and the show on after so we saw some of it but they really should have explained what the plan was. We saw the teens, the over whatevers and part of Demi's group but that was it. I was wondering if they played the rest later on?
  22. That is awesome! Hopefully it will keep up. I used to work elections here in Paulding county and loved it. The money was decent for a days work ( and just in time for Black Friday) and "most" of the people were nice. Have fun with it!
  23. Sounds like this is the girl I was thinking, either that or her sister. Nothing would surprise me, her story being true or her making it up. I remember thinking how nice that she had family to take her in but also how much it sucked that she/they were in such a situation. Hopefully the truth will come out.
