Yes, sheriff was called and responded. I'm told that a salesperson came to the front door, home owner opened it (shouldn't have) and while they were talking and the homeowner was distracted, another person tried to come in the back door.

Over the past two weeks our neighborhood has seen a sudden increase in door-to-door salespeople, peddling everything from newspapers subscriptions to windows. Last night, there was an attempted break in by one of these "salespeople." Anyone else in Paulding noticed this kind of activity?
-
No answer. They must be closed for the holiday.

Took the kids and the puppy to Taylor Farm Park this morning and the playground was roped off with colored tape (all the way around the 4 posts of the awning). Anyone know why?
-
I pulled over to let the Fire/Rescue pass me, right after I turned from Ridge Road onto Mein Mitchell, around 5:30 tonight. It looked like two cars were involved, just before the 2nd entrance to Bromley Walk subdivision. Mein Mitchell was closed for about an hour. Anyone know what happened? Was everyone okay?
-
Yep.
I posted this on my facebook earlier but I'll post it here because it touched me so much.
I explained to Half Pint (my 7 year old) aboutt how women weren't able to vote, & that's why it's especially important for us to get out & do it... So she told every woman she saw in Hellmart afterwards that they needed to vote because women died for that right.
So whine about the cold, whine about the long wait, whine because you have the right to... and get your asses out there and vote.
YES!!!

He just arrived and said there are hundreds of people there. I hope he's exaggerating, because it's cold!
-
Any word from Austin Middle? My husband is headed there.
-
And if it makes you feel any better, MiniVanMomma, you couldn't possibly hate me more than I hate myself right now.
I don't hate you or anyone, based on whether they vote or not.

I'm almost scared to type this, because I've seen others get roasted on this site for less, but here I go:
Just remember that a lot of people have done a lot more than stand in a long line, in order to make it possible for us to vote.

Do you make an old fashioned caramel cake? I'm looking to get one for a co-worker, after reading the (wonderful) book "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. Thanks.

My daughter is one of "Miss Freda's" many adoring former students. So sorry for the family.
-
Do you accept broken lawnmower donations? We need a new one, but I told my husband he can't buy it until he finds a place to take the broken ones! And if so, where are you located?
-
State Farm denied us too (near Mein Mitchell & Rodge Road), and we've been loyal customers for decades (house and vehicle policies). So frustrating, because it was blatant damage.
-
Does anyone know what (if anything) is being voted on tomorrow in Paulding County? Just wondering... No, I haven't been on pcom in a while, so there may be something huge that I've missed...
thanks!

Since my 2 kids go to preschool in Douglasville, I joined "Xersiz", which used to be called something else (I forget the old name). It's on Stewart Parkway, off of Hwy. 5. They have free childcare on weekday mornings and evenings, lots of equipment, classes and a smoothie bar. There are many different deals you can join under, so the rate varies. Mine is $34 a month for 12 months plus 2 months free, and no enrollment fee. I've been there a couple of weeks now and I really like it.
-
Ours has been 120-130 so we're suspecting a leak too. If anyone can suggest a reputable plumber who can do work on the yard service line I'd appreciate it.

Their cake squares are sooo addictive! Melt in your mouth!

My husband is floating the idea of moving our family to Athens, Ga. I'm not opposed, but I know nothing about that area (he graduated from UGA in the 1980's). Has anyone lived or visited there a lot recently? I'm just wondering what areas are good areas to live in, how the schools are (relative to Ga./Paulding), etc. I hate to leave Paulding but we'd be a bit closer to our extended family and hubbie would have a shorter commute (hopefully). Thanks in advance!

Does anyone use a local cleaning service (not a chain) that is trustworthy and does a good job?
-
I can't remember which local news station did a consumer report about this in the last week or two, but what they found was that it had the same success rate as the patch or gum (20%?), but the company that sells the shot said it was 80% effective. They also mentioned the side effects but I didn't hear what they were. Buyer beware!
-
Yeah, Hiram lost 27 to 6 (to Dalton) bu tht Band of Gold ROCKED the field tonight. The cheerleaders need a class on the basics of football though...their sponsors were yelling at them "We have the ball now! Do something besides a defense cheer!"
-
I have a 23 month old and a 3 1/2 year old. Everytime I take a shower or take my eyes off them for a second I worry about this....bolting the doors, etc. But for the grace of God....it could have been me or anyone. I hope the family knows that this community supports and prays for them, and isn't judging them. Prayers said.

I don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. Like PsychoMom wrote in another thread, "There but for the grace of God go I." This could happen to anyone with teenagers. It could have happened to me when I was a teenager.
When we were at Sparkles this morning for the Tiny Tots time and all of the little ones were riding their big wheels around, I just watched them and thought "Those teens were these little babies once. These babies will be teens driving one day." Unbelievable heartbreak. God bless the families involved, give them peace and strength to make it through this.
Increase in Door to Door Sales/Crime?

Stradial, this is very similar to what happened to us last week (Bromley Walk subdivision). I didn't hear a knock but my dog went nuts and my son said "Someone's at the door." I didn't open it, but looked out a window and saw the guy. I mouthed "NO" and he said "I'm selling magazines..." so I mouthed "NO" again and shook my head. 8:30 at night, in the dar, COLD as everything outside. I know it's not illegal, but I don't like someone coming to my door unexpectedly.
