Saw on Fox this morning that it's a statewide Tornado Drill around 9:00am. I think the Wednesday noon thing is local.

I have a friend who is renting a room from a hoarding family. It's disgusting!!!! Not only do they hoard they refuse to clean. They expect her to clean because of the low rent she is paying. Poor thing can't afford another place so she's pretty much stuck. She sent me daily pictures for a week of a piece of ham & a grape that someone dropped on the floor right in front of the fridge. She was making it a point to not pick it up to see how long they would let it sit there. Finally after a week she picked it up. They had to step over it every day for a week to get to the fridge!!!!!

Anderson Cooper is the MAN!!!!! I fell in love with him during the Haiti coverage and he has proved yet again that he is a ROCKSTAR!!!!!! You can see in one video someone just walks up to him and hits him in the face. He did not make anything up. He was in real danger as were all journalist.

Potato Cannon.......sorry.

Our house was built in 1988 so hopefully it will not hit crisis mode anytime soon. BUT none of my neighbors remember it ever being pumped.

Saw that theme on another thread a few weeks ago....GREAT!!!! Guess I'll just trust it to the professionals. I really don't want them making a mess of my yard. We have NO grass so they can't use that old trick.

Does the health dept. charge for the records?

What time does it get started tonight? Would love to bring in my 7 year old on our way back from the library.

I have heard to just wait until we start seeing signs but I'm afraid to do that. I have used Rid X once in the last year. You have to not use water for 8 hours after you do the Rid X and with all of our weird hours there is no time that would be happening.

We have been in our house for a year. There are no records from the previous owner to know when it was last pumped. We are not having any issues but I also don't want to wait until I do. How often do you need to get it pumped? How much does it usually cost?

Just saw that movie yesterday for the 1st time. Such an amazing story.

Well if it's the law then it's the law. Let's hope the DA does the merciful thing and either asks for probation or simply throws the case out. Did anyone ever figure out if this will effect college if she's found guilty? Ha Ha.....LOVE IT>

UH-OH we agree!!!!! People are so hesitant to get involved nowadays. I love those "What Would You Do?" shows on 20/20. I would be the woman breaking up the fights and snatching the kids away from the horrible parents. I don't see how anyone could have stood by and not done something.

She is being charged but I am not clear on what those charges are going to be.

Yes it was the cop, his mistress, and Brent (fellow officer who drowned) all together on the boat. They hit a bouy and Brent fell overboard. Bystanders on shore heard screams for help but the 911 call didn't come in for 90 minutes. He took the boat to shore, cleaned up the evidence of BUI, and dropped off his mistress. Then went back out on the water to make the call and stage his search attempts. All for what??? To save himself some future alimony payments? For this he got 4 years!!!!!!!! Someone selling pot on the corner gets more than that. With good behavior he's probably out in

6 days was my main point. This poor girl's family has already gone through so much. They do not wish to see the driver charged. If there is ANY grey area in the law I think they should drop the charges. Hitting a sheet of ice is an accident!!!! I was not trying to say that the DA is trying to cover for the DOT. I am saying that the mother has already stated she blames the road conditions. I think they see a LAWSUIT coming and are trying to divert attention.

Yes you were quoted but that was not directed at you. SO SORRY!!!!!! I have a P.Com stalker who was in the topic at the time and knows exactly who it was meant for. Sorry to bring you into my drama. HA HA HA...... I actually like your style. I know I sound passionate on this subject and I guess I did go off on a little rant. Thanks for finding the facts.

After this topic I wish I drank!!!!!

Edited to remove any debate on whether I'm a bitch........I know some already have their minds made up anyways. Opinions expressed in my postings are simply that ......opinions........I think I'm entitled to have one.......but you can get back to me on that one.

Can you even believe he only got 4 years?????? What is going on here?

Yes all is true. We shall see how this unfolds. Hopefully she'll get a good attorney. I traveled that road during daylight hours only and definitely had to be very aware and avoid any icy patches. I think the accident happened at night. I like you.....good debates are fun.

True true...I should haven't have said no attempt. I didn't venture out until Wednesday or Thursday. I think the Paudling county roads gave me a false sense of security because they were very well maintained. I guess I am comparing the two and shouldn't be. I just think this was a terrible terrible accident and no one should be charged. I just feel the county is charging her to try to absolve themselves of any responsibility.

My company was involved in the benefit for Brent's family. That whole situation was so tragic. All to save face. Makes me SICK!!!!!!!!!!

My eyes were my source. I travel that stretch of road to work every day. From my observations very minimal clearing was done.

Most counties were making an effort to treat the roads. Cobb roads were horrendous!!!!! Even when school returned on Monday the backroads were still bad. This was not a neighborhood road. This was STILESBORO Rd.-a 4 lane well traveled road. Remember this happened on FRIDAY-6 days after the "storm" since it only really "stormed" on Sunday. The rest was minimal freezing rain and melt/refreeze. We don't know why they were out. Maybe they had to get to work. Maybe they had been snowed in somewhere & were trying to finally make it home. Maybe they had to go get food. Two of our boys
