  1. Probably has something to do with his duty to step in and protect the citizens that called for his help. If he had waited for backup and the guy had attacked someone before he could do anything, it would be dereliction of duty. Either way the officer is to blame. Seems to be the theme these days. It's getting more and more difficult to find people willing to do the job, especially for the pay.
  2. South Paulding area. They've been at our house all day. We've been scared to just let them go to possibly get hit by a car. Apparently these have been loose before in our neighborhood. Not posting a description as they appear to be pure breeds that are not cheap. Let me know if your dogs are missing and give me a description. Would love to get them back home.
  3. Awesome. Please bring your northern behind over to Abbington subdivision and drive all of our cars up the sheet of ice on the big hill in the entrance. They are getting banged up while they are lined up in the front of the s/d. It would be very neighborly of you.
  4. HiPlains...props for your standards and expectations. Wish we had more like you. I am happy to see that our BOE realizes that a lot of parents might have your attitude without the intelligence that is required behind it. I think if you really thought about it....think about the people you have to deal with or that you read about and shake your head, amazed at the stupidity or carelessness when it comes to their children. Love your attitude, I do! But it's not worth one child's life or limbs to hold up our tough southern image.
  5. Yes, buildings in NY are built to different codes than buildings in Ga. Different insulation ratings, HVAC, etc. Also, your ignorant people in NY have been ignorant in harsh cold weather and have adapted mentally. Our ignorant people haven't had enough exposure to these elements to adapt and don't place a priority on the layering thing for the kids. There are kids here who are lucky to get a coat out of their parents. The buses are only maintained to a certain standard and break down more often than you think. In addition, unless kids are deadly ill, they are expected to be present. We'
  6. My first reaction was shock but I wasn't thinking from the perspective of a blind person. Like workingforaliving said, how vulnerable would you feel if you were blind? I was thinking like the rest of us: aim and shoot at a target. But in a blind person's train of thought they are probably more concerned about a close encounter, hands on situation.
  7. Such a cute pup! He was left tied to a cable? Maybe he was ready for a different family!
  8. Yes, she has an appointment on Friday. BUT, I will be in class and will not be able to take her. It is beyond stupid that someone cannot reschedule without putting it off for a month. Our family is really struggling to maintain job hours and get everyone where they need to be. This would really help out since she is very comfortable with driving. This sucks!
  9. DD claims that they are a month out for appointments for her driver's license test. As far as I know, she has only contacted the one in Carrollton. Does anyone know about Cobb? Do they still offer the test? I've heard Rockmart as well. She made her appt. and now I am required to be in a class for work that day. We will have to reschedule but she's, of course, devastated and convinced it will now be another month to get her in. Any ideas on what to expect? Where did you go with your teen? Thanks!
  10. ** FREE – FREE – FREE ** Saturday, August 24, 2013, Noon – 4 PM Swing, Country, Ballroom, Latin & Line Dance Lessons Location: VPLEX 1605 Hwy 61, Villa Rica, GA 30180 Contact Debra (770-456-6244) debb@cleckler.com (Adults, Families, - Everyone welcome)
  11. Wow. Great idea, you've got the teen trapped in front of a computer. Why not use the time to actually teach? I don't get it at all. Thank you for letting me know, though.
  12. DD is doing the course online and is forced to sit in front of the pc for hours at a time when she is done with the material. Is there a better course offered? Figured my p.com folks might have some insight. I'd rather have her testing with scenarios or something for 30 hours, something truly useful, than just sitting, waiting for the program to log 3 hours of her sitting here waiting to test on a section. Any better way (other than a freaking $300+ course)?
  13. In my experience (we've lost three over the years) every single time, a line was run via a vein in the leg to sedate the dog. Once goodbyes were said, the final injection was administered through the line that was already in place.
  14. I hope the owner is not on p.com because I would like to know the truth about the "process". I have been told by a reliable source that these babies are not even sedated before being killed. I'm sure that saves a lot of time and money but can someone enlighten me on whether or not this is a horrific death for these little "souls"? Based on what I am hearing, it is NOT a peaceful process. If that is the case, what was the point in moving away from the gas chambers? What is the point in paying a vet to handle this? Anyone supporting the No-Kill movement here in Paulding? I hope they a
  15. I believe they have a habit of getting pulled over for DUIs as well. Might be killing two birds with one needle.
  16. Just curious, have you ever lost a precious loved one to a DUI driver?
  17. And? If you are DUI, you are DUI. This helps prevent you from killing my child or other loved one by building a case against you. If you are innocent, it proves it. Tada! Sometimes the truth "hurts".
  18. Same question. I did a trial run on a $15 phone to see if the service in general would be better. Incredible compared to our $204/mo. service! (Actually, the phone itself is amazing for just $15.) So now I just need to find out what type of nice phone will work with one of the pay by the month systems. Sick of contracts that do not require that the company actually provide the service, all the while allowing them to up the price every month.
  19. Never hurts to keep some ear candles on hand. They used to sell them at the Ingles pharmacy but you can usually get them online or in holistic type health/vitamin stores. Some people swear by them. They do seem to help us some. You will need to use two or three on the ear that has issues IF the issue is extra wax being produced. You can also get drops to put in afterwards so that your eardrums still have some protection.? Anyway, it's been around forever. Never heard of any side effects from it. Worth a try.
  20. Such a wonderful family. My heart is so heavy for them right now.
  21. They cannot run out and arrest without sound evidence. We don't know if they may be getting conflicting information from the people who are calling in. Even if they are not, they have to have something solid before a judge will issue a warrant for their arrest. I'm sure that you have the best intentions and they want your help but they have to prove to a judge that you are not just someone's angry ex-girlfriend putting them at the scene. You have probably done way more than you know to put their efforts where they need to be.
  22. The deputies are trained to take prints. Whether they are equipped with the materials and allowed the time to do it....I do not know the answer to that.
  23. I've heard that the one in question is a friend of his. Just sayin.
  24. I've wasted a lot of money on brands that simply break. Now I use the ego-T. You can order it online or you can go to Ciggy's and get pretty much the same thing. I would recommend going to Ciggy's. You'll spend a little more but you will be able to try all the flavors right there and you can get it in a blister pack start up kit if you want. That's gonna get you a battery, small charger and a "clearomizer". Purchase extra wicks for the clearomizer and make sure it's not one of the cheaper ones that comes in the blister pack if you go that route. If you order an ego-T kit online, it
