  1. I used to see a Smyrna cop every morning on my way to work. Seems like a waste to let them drive cars home that far.
  2. There is a wound care clinic at Kennestone Hospital in Marietta. I went there following my first c-section.
  3. The problem is that if you are used to sitting in traffic on the interstate, when given the option to drive the same road with no traffic your natural urge is to go as fast as you can. I have to watch my speed in and around Atlanta on 285 and 85 when coming and going. I can easily be cruising along near 80 in a 55 and I'm being passed.
  4. Probably out of the way, but we just got back from Blue Mountain, and the best meal we had was at Stinky's Fish Camp, but it's west of Blue Mountain towards Destin.

    How many welfare recipients do you know that outright own a vehicle that is worth that much?
  6. I was actually hoping our cat would eat a poisonous mouse.

    I can only speak for myself. We were not paying a car payment because our cars were paid for and it was not logical to sell them for what was a temporary situation,. I mad enough to pay for food, the house payment, gas, electric, water, and trash. We had internet and cable, but my in-laws paid that bill, they also paid our cell phone bill, and our car insurance bill. I was able to differ my student loan for a year (it comes back on line this month). We didn't go out to eat unless someone took us out to eat, or gave us money for a night out (usually from my in-laws because they knew the situati

    I did not give up my 2 2003 paid for vehicles because we needed transportation. I guess I could have sold them to get a really beater car, but I needed reliable transportation to get to and from work and my husband needed his to get to interviews and take the girls to doctor appointments. I had no 401K savings, that went when I had been out of work a couple years before. The only thing of value I had to sell to avoid govt assistance was my wedding ring set, and I wasn't going to give that up (selfish me). My husband couldn't work part time because it wouldn't have covered child care costs. Jus

    They only reason that I qualified for Medicaid was because I was pregnant. I found out I was pregnant with my second in 17 months the same month my husband lost his job. That qualified us for Medicaid and WIC. I made to much for non-pregnancy Medicaid, so after I delivered I had no insurance, but the girls qualified for Peachcare. If I hadn't been pregnant we wouldn't have qualified for any assistance. I made too much for food stamps. I also couldn't get daycare assistance because my husband was not working and therefore was home to care for the kids, however if we had gotten assistance he may
  10. We had a neighbor back in the winter move out from across the street. They had not been having garbage collection for several months, I assumed they were taking it to the dump, anyway, about a week after they moved out we started noticing mice (not rats) near our garage. We had always kept our dog and cat food in the garage in the bags they came in and never had a problem. We then noticed holes in the bags, so we got plastic containers, but we still saw the mice. At that point we cleaned out our garage. It had gotten a bit messy being used as storage. When we cleaned out the garage we noticed

    People definaty abuse the system. But for example, while pregnant with my daughter I qualified for Medicaid. I also qualified for WIC I was the only source of income for a family of 3 about to be four. You would see me wearing my diamond wedding and engagement ring, using my iPhone, and driving an suv. My ring and car were paid for before we were in that situation. My inlaws bought me an iPhone as a gift and paid for our cell phone and cable bill while my husband was out of work. I was always embarrassed every time I had to seperate out my WIC purchases or present my Medicaid insurance card. W
  12. The thing is, if Romney is working the current tax system and is paying a low rate, more power to him. That means he know how to manage money.

    Not everyone on benefits is screwing the system. I wholeheartedly believe that there whole be a safety net for those that fall on hard times. There should not be a hammock where people expect the support to pay their way.
  14. So then obama cant fix it, so we might as well elect Romney
  15. It wouldn't make a difference. The only way I ever successfully got someone to take a cab home from a local bar was to take his keys so he had no other option. Both hiram station and the spotlight offered safe ride and I knew plenty of people who refused their offers and drove home drunk.
  16. If it took one drunk driver off the road it was worth it.
  17. Where's paulding hospital? I lived in paulding a total of about 3 years and never saw it
  18. I doubt they were from last year since they are 16. So what do you do in this case. They saw what punishment their classmates got, yet went out and did it. And they were already out of school for some other reason. Now is jail time necessary or do we slap them on the wrist and wait until they do something after their 18 to be really put in jail for.
  19. I know plenty of people that aren't paid well that have taken pay cuts to keep their co-workers working.
  20. That happened to my mom a couple years ago, she was in that long line for Martin's, and let a man turn in in front of her. He paid for her order in appreciation. Little did he know that she was buying breakfast for herself and two dogs. I bet he wondered how she was going to eat all that food
  21. I think its a safe assumption to say it's most likely students. If it's parents I'd be really concerned about the area.
  22. Apparently the punishment was not a harsh enough deterrent.
  23. I was at a traffic stop with 2 Hiram officers, it's probably been 2 years ago around 278 and 92 about 11pm. There was a crotch rocket racing down 278, one cop said to the other, you going after that one? The other one said, Why bother, we can't catch them.
  24. I can't wait to thank you for all the prayers in person. I'm so glad to be able to thank you!
