    I ver sincerely appreciate your feedback. Would you mind holding my hand a little while?--long enough to direct me through your link to infor about their disappearance? (It's not jumping up in my face......and I can't find a thing that doesn't--ask my wife!)
  2. Good post. Add "...or unless you're looking for a large chuck of land on the fringe of 'real' civilization, where Paulding would be good, but for my liking in this category, I'd go a country or two West of Paulding..." to my previously listed caveats.
  3. If we had it to do over again, and speaking purely of the economic consequences suffered (not the folks) we would not have bought in Paulding at all. I'd move to Paulding for family, for proximity to a job (that I can hardly imagine) or because someone else is paying a large chuck of the expenses. If y'all're are moving here for the very long term--like life long--it might be a good idea to get here when the getting is cheap. But, how public housing here plays out; how the vacant houses here are filled, with whome they're filled and with whose money, and if Public transportation takes
  4. If y'all have to live in Paulding County, especially if y'all want to buy but will be in the home temporarily (like no more then about 5 years, maybe more) DO NOT BUY SOUTH OF (Southwest of, physically) HWY US 278. Hiram and Dallas--all of Paulding--is bedroom country. Bedroom = nowhere to work, just cheap (really cheap now) housing. Paulding was SLAMMED by the housing collapse and I don't see it coming back in the near future. Buying South of US 278 is to buy into declining neighborhoods. IMO, they're declining because now, with gas ~$3.50/gallon, Paulding is no longer an attractive
  5. Among the people from around here that would interst you; that you'd be from Jupiter or Georgia, or New York, is your tact to play or not. It won't be imposed on you. I read that your asking as a friend and I appreciate it. Know that I'm a native of the SE and I'm answering as a friend. Don't let TV form your steriotypes--do that yourself. You might have gotten a feel something like this: A "redneck" is a guy with a deep southern accent who's slowing down to laugh at a yankee's flat tire. A "country boy" is a guy with a deep southern accent who's slowing to to help a Yankee
  6. Meanwhile, onboard Orca, Capt'n Quint recalls, "The thing about a Glock, it's got lifeless trigger feel, black plastic, like a toy's trigger. When it's pointed at you it doesn't seem to be threat'nin'... "

    Interesting. I did a little bit of browsing and read something about them not being drought resistant. I was thinking that maybe the decades-long drought we're in now, combined with the herbicide spraying of the roadsides.... Japanese beetles....interesting. In my mind, I can see those hateful things wallowing in their blooms.
  8. I grew up in NW Alabama. A coworker and I were talking about things we'd do when little and the conversation wound up talking about what our communities would to together. He's from the panhandle of Florida and he described the mayhaw harvest and jelly making. His stories reminded me of my old community picking plums to make jelly, and blackberries too. When I was little (early 70s) one couldn't stop a car on the road and easily walk into anyones pasture without being mauled by plum tree spines. The little trees (very rarely more the 12 feet tall) would be so thick that they'd be the o
  9. BS. That is if you really are looking to blame the right person, which we all know has nothing to do with this. It is just about getting money. You don't seem to realize that the right thing to do doesn't necessarily have anything to do with a frivilous lawsuit.
  10. That person won't have that kind of money or insurance. I think 2 million + is reasonable under the circumstances....as a punishment.
  11. OOPS! Are you logged on using your trolling account?
  12. My fellow natives, she's attempting to use the word "spaded".
  13. <yawn> 3rd try (F*CKING EDITOR!) P.S. In addition to listing what I wrote being seen as the opinion of a cold-hearted asswhole, I should also list my opinion being a casual but mortal threat so the livihood of some.
  14. Yes, of course, overeating exascerbates the disease's impact, but looking at it from a purely objective view (i.e. from the perspective of what many would call a cold-hearted *sswhole) we've found a way for diabetics to survive into their reporductive years and we (we, the species) are breeding our way into a diabetic population. No, I would not have all the diabetics and those carrying the genes rounded up and shot as a way to solve the problem.
  15. Are you saying the bite would come from a vengeful Obama Administration?
  16. Based on this thread's information, what Kroger did was wrong. However, it's not difficult to understand what would drive a company to do such a thing: If fakers are getting big $, just imagine what a really hurt guy's going to get. If this nation is to survive another 100 years, people will look back at this time we're living in now and call it something like the Era of the Frivilous Lawsuit. Nothing in this message should be read as condoning what Kroger did.
  17. ...And they had such nice restrooms that the department-store-style shoppers were paying to keep clean.
  18. You make it sound like where your point leads is a place the leftist's politics can go. But you know how to tell when your point is clearly making sense to them, and therefore everyone else too......right? Who are these "'em"?
  19. Meanwhile this little tidbit streaks overhead, so high as to be juuuuuuust barely visible.
  20. Would somebody please make her stop laughing so I could watch her show? Heh Heh Heh...yaw. Heh Heh Heh...yaw. Heh Heh Heh...yaw. Oh [G]od! make it stop!
  21. My dream car vision changes regularly. I used to lust for an Hemi Cuda or Challenger, but after driving modern cars for decades, I don't want one anymore. It's been a long time since being a regular driver, but I've driven the original B-body Challengers for about 300000 miles. My wife and I went to her 20th reunion in a (fake or "cloned") Plum Crazy '70 Challenger Convertible, 440 R/T. It's the car I was driving the night we met. My daddy made the clone from what was originally a 318 2bbl convertible. It's fun to be seen in it as it commands attention, but I don't think it's fun to d
  22. I remember the quote changed to red text. Man, I watched that show religiously. To this day, when I toil heavily at some job, the theme music of Kung Fu plays in my head. Remember:? Every-body was kung-fu fight-ing! Those kicks were fast as light-ning!...
  23. Would you please read the question aloud?
  24. The value of a large and happy prolitariate can hardly be exaggerated. The prolitariate has to come from somewhere. Countries that don't actively cultivate its current and future prolitariate--like the USA does not--are doomed to lose it. What happens when a country loses its prolitariate?--they're imported. (Read: all these "Mexicans" are here because we ain't having babies.)
