  1. Dr Tina Caudill in Douglasville Specializes in children. Can do thorough testing and then discuss options with you. I have sent many many families her way and never gotten a complaint just high praise. I personally think Ridgeview is ok for adults but not kids.

    Yay Butler!

    Proud Butler grad----- Can't wait until Monday night!!!!!

  4. The House Majority recently passed H.R. 1, which would cut $10.6 billion of the education budget for FY 2011. This cut would ELIMINATE the Elementary and Secondary School Counseling Program, among other vital education programs. That means no more school counselors....at all.
  5. We stayed at the Riu right next to Atlantis. All the benefits of Atlantis without the expense. You can explore the grounds for free, lose at the casino, and check out the amazing aquarium area...free! You can also buy a day pass if you want. Riu had amazing food, very clean and the beach was not crowded AT ALL! Turks Caicos has amazing beaches and never very crowded.
  6. this is from MSNBC.COM. Although Dizzy Dean is more prominent in these parts...you have to wonder if they will follow soon? Fairly big news here out of Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The Little League International Board of Directors Executive Committee, which operates all divisions of Little League Baseball, including the Little League World Series, has issued an immediate and complete moratorium on the use of composite bats. Composite bats, which sell for upwards of $300, first popped onto the amateur baseball scene in the early 2000s. Made of not only aluminum, but also wrapped i
  7. Same as ours....house built in 2006, original owners, plot map original. Actually we have 2 copies..one given at closing and one from the county. They're the same. The more I read the more I think it should be criminal! The builder, the septic tank company that installed it, and the county that 'inspected' it!
  8. Been there...smelled that! After trying to plant bushes in front of our deck we found that the drain field does NOT match the map we got from the county. The field actually comes TOWARD the house rather than snaking into the yard. If we dig more than 5 inches into the ground wet, smelly soil shows up. We have our tank pumped every 3-4 years because we're terrified something bad is going to happen.
  9. Finally watched it last night--- first time in my life I've actually cheered for someone to be shot! Love how the really really bad guys get what they deserve in this show!!!!!!!! Yes, they have been extended for another season. The cast does a ton of USO stuff overseas but are supposed to resume shooting soon. (more episodes that is)
  10. Pinnacle is perfect. Call Wolf and see if they will do it or recommend someone. "Real time" means if there are 3 hours on the tape it will take 3 hours to transfer. Having someone else do it also guarantees that after the 3 hours it will actually be correct...if not they have to do it over! Make a copy or two of the dvd they give you. You can never have enough backup!
  11. once you get the video on the dvd, you can put the video into your computer and edit it that way. You really don't want to edit or mess with the master. Another great way to keep this stuff is to have the dvd AND put the video into an external hard drive. Your best bet is to just take it to Wolf. If it's too expensive just buy an adapter to run the camera into your computer. Record the video on Windows or Pinnacle or another free editing service.
  12. I'm not sure of the exact wording but it says something like "places where children gather". I know that includes parks, bus stops, etc. Most private businesses also have policies barring them...Six Flags is one biggie I can think of. Not even supposed to have their porch light on for Halloween.
  13. I have to say....that is the most ridiculous response I have ever read/heard! We are basically being told to NOT vote on Election Day. I refuse to vote 45 days early because late developments concerning candidates/races could change my vote. If you're small-minded and just vote for people because of their party affiliation...please do vote early. Vote a year early as far as I'm concerned. Here's the other issue dear 'leaders' of Paulding County: 80% of your residents work outside of the county which means commuting. Early voting doesn't help us. Having the polls open from 7a-7p doesn't
  14. The line at Taylor Farm was assinine. I was told fewer polling places were open because of low turnout this summer. This summer is hardly an indicator of a primary election! I will say this: I was thrilled that people were not leaving!!! Vote and then complain to the county. We should not have to wait in line for hours to exercise our right to vote.
  15. Here are a few tips a friend gave me who works for the Feds arresting these freaks: Teach your child that NO ONE is allowed to touch them in a private way. Not even their doctor, police officer, teacher..no one! You should be in the room with them when the dr is examining them.! Teach your child that no matter what a person says...they can come to you! Most peds actually know the child (ie relative, family friend, etc) They are master manipulators and often they will threaten the child with harm to his/her parents, to tell others, or to hurt the child him/herself. The Fed told me
  16. If I were looking for a new home, I think speed bumps would be a major attraction for me. The excuse of them being unsightly or whatever doesn't fly. Decatur has them, high end subdivisions in Peachtree City have them, exclusive/expensive areas in Cobb and Gwinnett have them. As for cost...you can buy speed 'strips' for pretty cheap. they are only 1 inch tall and are effective on anyone going over them at a fast speed. If I remember, a 6 foot strip is about $150. So 2 strips to cover the width of the rd would run about $300. The other problem is posted speed limits. Our last house
  17. About 10 minutes to go down and then about 14 to come up.
  18. I wonder if they get paid for the full 2 months they've been trapped? Like 8 hours regular pay + 16 hours of overtime? Double time on weekends? The first one should be out around 11p....very cool to watch!
  19. Definately Key West!!!! Rent a house a few blocks off Duvall St, fly Delta nonstop, no need to rent a car, catch the boat to Dry Tortugas....sooo much to do and completely safe! I've done all my mommy vacations there with the girls and NEVER had an issue. Better book soon though!
  20. I hope this puts Delta in the ground! SW has never flown out of here because the city of Atlanta wouldn't allow it...because of Delta's money and contracts. This will put MAJOR pressure on Delta to lower their prices AND fees. We no longer fly Delta because of the fees. Airtran and SW have lower or NO fees in comparison so even if you get a cheaper ticket on Delta...you might end up paying more for your bag! This will also create jobs because Airtran and SW combined will have more business/flights than Delta. Delta is already working on bare bones because of their budget cuts and this co
  21. American Tae Kwon Do. They are off of hwy 5 in Douglasville. They pick up at most S Paulding schools. Excellent program: instead of just babysitting the kids....thery actually do tkd class every day after school.
  22. I did a research paper on this last semester (grad school). Children that age should get anywhere from 10-13 hours of sleep. Avoid any caffeine, sugar, candy etc less than 6 hours from bedtime. NO tv or computer less than 2 hours from bedtime. Sound machines (white noise) actually help children have better REM sleep which is a big factor on whether they are rested in the morning. If the bedtime is 7 or 730...eat an earlier dinner and find a routine that helps calm them. All children are different and change as they age but I was amazed at the stats for my paper...80% of children in Ameri
  23. set up a video camera or use your phone to record these conversations. when you have quite a few....THEN talk to a lawyer. when he knows you have proof..he'll settle out of court and you can still ruin his reputation. his wife might not care at all as long as he's paying the bills and keeping her in an easy life. make work a game now..knowing that you get the last laugh.!!!
  24. I'm curious to know what classifies as a foreigner to you? Someone from Flat Shoals Alabama or someone from Marietta? You can answer after you get back from church Sunday.

    Dear Po Po

    Dear Paulding Co Officers, It was great seeing you a few months ago busting people left and right for drag racing, speeding, blowing through stop signs and being morons. We'd love to have you come visit us again along AUSTIN BRIDGE/MEIN MITCHELL RDS. Although we all enjoy the Road Runner cartoons where Wylie tries to cross the road and gets hammered every time...it's kind of getting old for us when we try to pull out of our homes. To our friends in Barrington Chase and the Heritage, ASSume that no one is going to stop at those stop signs...it's just safer that way.
