  1. I have a Magellan which works great for what I want. They all use the same street mapping service. However they get the street names for Paulding, from the county, the post office, or whoever, they aren't getting updated. There all are missing streets and have misspelled streets (e.g. Charice for Clarice) or have outdated street names (parts of Nebo have their old street names). Also, they all give hints at stret names when you type in your destination. For instance, when you type Ne, it is already suggesting Nebo. I have brother-in-law who doesn't look at what it's chosen, so
  2. Too many kids have tried: Utrecht teenager who wanted to be youngest to sail around world found in St Martin Jessica Watson, 16, the youngest sailor to circumnavigate the globe, arrives home
  3. A few months back, I did get a letter, supposedly from a bank where I have an account saying there was potential fraud on the account as some merchant lost some of their records, giving a different 800# tha on the back of the card. I called the # on the back of the card instead, and it was a legitimate letter, and they sent me a new card ... but I wouldn't have called the number in the letter in any case.
  4. was getting several calls from an out of town # identfied as "CARD SERVICES". This time I got a robo-call from this local # 404-503-2136 from Rachel, identifying her as a WIRELESS CALLER. Message said CARD SERVICES and to reduce interest rate, press 9. Several folks around the country have gotten these --- purpose is to get credit card info.

  6. Look HERE Thre are farms in Paulding, Harralson, Caroll, Cherokee counties .... best to call first as some have closed.
  7. If you haven't been to the Pizza Farm in Rockmart, you've got to go at least once. Just don't order the pizza --- it's terrible. Meals, service, friendliness of the family are all great. Follow 278 West and look for the sign on the right, just after entering Polk County, and follow the signs.
  8. You do know that it's the Social Security Administration that puts out these records in a file used by all of the geneology software and websites,www.ancestry.com, www.geneology.com, etc.? Those records include all of the data you described and come out every year.
  9. I haven't seen any referral discounts --- i'd just put down website & paulding.com --- maybe they'll sign up for a commerce membership.
  10. Scana LIED Here's how to get a GAS South discount.
  11. The store at 92 & Nebo closed a while back and then reopened after "remodeling". Too bad, they had some nice stuff in there, none of which looked hijacked. A couple of years ago, they did have stuff with the K-mart label. The appliance outlet on 92 was aslo called Smith but the name is off of that store.
  12. You can use any gas company --- they don't actually deliver the gas --- Atlanta Gas Light does --- they just compete to charge you for it. I use Coweta Fayette EMC, which has some of the best rates. Greystone Power aosl has a deal with Gas South. You can check current rates of all at the state website.
  13. From the Neighbor: Cirque horses among those in auction at Foxhall By Neighbor staff Several horses two of which were in Cavalia will be sold at auction Saturday, June 5, during an all-day fundraising event in Douglasville.

  14. Not sure where his outlet was in Hiram, butI wonder if he sold the stolen merchandise there? From the AJC: Guilty plea in trucking thefts Cobb man to be sentenced Aug. 17. Prosecutors say over $3 million in cargo lost to thieves. By Bill Rankin brankin@ajc.com   Moonlight thieves have been prowling the metro area in search of tractor-trailers, authorities said Wednesday. Sometimes they hit pay dirt, taking off with crates chock-full of high-end electronics and consumer goods. Standing before a federal judge Wednesday, Johnny Raymond Smith of Mableton
  15. I use Dr. Percy at Burnt Hickory Dental in Marietta in the Kroger Shopping Center. He's excellent. This year he's president of the Georgia Dental Association, but I don't think he has any eveing hours. Many on here recommend Dr.Smiley Bugs, who is a Pcom Biz Member. She does have late hour on Thursdays. They also offer a no-interest payment plan. Se the dental insurance link.
  16. We were invited to a 40th anniversary party yesterday, which reminded me of the #1 rule for planning a party. Don't have it on a Holiday Weekend. My daughter had her wedding on the 4th of July weekend a few years back. Like many others, they thought it would give folks another day to be down here. Airfares were high. Many already had July 4th plans. Only about half of the invitees accepted. So, when the daughter of one of our friends sent asn invite about the 40th anniversity party on Memorial Day, we wondered if they would have th same results. It was worse, partially beca
  17. We pulled into the HD Parking lot and it started softly. It picked up as we were looking at plants outside and in the garden center. The garden center dodn't have the cover on, as no one expected rain. It let up and we left and saw no wet roads on the way home. Anyone get some rain?
  18. We've used Sonia at Kit-n-Kaboodle Pet Sitting Service P.O. Box 544, Hiram, Ga. 30141 770-443-3920 for several years. But ... we only have cats. I Know she sits for dogs too.
  19. I got a call a few days ago from one credit card company that my number may have been compromised at a merchant location and that they were colsing my account and sending a new card. Also, no idea how that happened, as I only use it online, and at the merchant whose branded name is on the card, and have seen no fraudulent charges.
  20. I don't have a business, but I saw this in today's AJC, and wondered about exactly what it meant? Does it mean drawing "50% off" in your store window with paint? I thought business sigs on the roadway were already banned. Homemade business signs banned in county Homemade business signs are now outlawed in Paulding County, the Board of Commissioners unanimously agreed Tuesday. Such signs have to be removed within 90 days. Temporary signs, such as for yard sales, would be an exception. Commission Chairman David Austin stressed the importance of updating the count
