  1. Please ask Gem Man if he has blueberries or peaches for me this year?

     

    I'm sorry. Blueberries are already gone. Peaches didn't do well this year either. I think it's the heat. The berry bushes didn't put on as many this year. Then the peaches were ripening on the outside faster than the inside so alot of them were mush.

     

    Me too!! Sorry for the hijack.

     

    I think it's okay that this topic was hijacked since no one was hurt in the accident. :yahoo:

     

    As for blueberries and peaches - they're gone. Neither did well in the summer heat this year....

  2. just got address from Nixle alert: 3233 Hiram Sudie Road

     

     

    only 54 minutes late

     

     

    I live next door. Is anyone hurt? FIL went down there to see. Couldn't get close enough. This accident is between Phillips Lee and BC. The problem is that if they have the road blocked at McClung, we won't be getting home anytime soon since they aren't letting cars by from the other direction either.....

  3. Looks like it is in between Bill Carruth and Cochran Ridge. Im headed to the high school to get son..bet traffic will stink!

     

    although according to google maps looks like it might be just past McClung going toward 61

     

    The intersection of HS and BC is bad, and so is the turn to McClung Road off HS. More deaths/accidents happen there, I think, than anywhere on the road.....

  4. Rose passed away in her own home last Sunday evening. She leaves behind 3 children: Frank, Sue, and Cyndy. All of the children are married and have given Rose grandchildren and great grandchildren. She will be missed be all who knew her.

     

    I live across the street from her and have known her for over 30 years. While I don't know her birthdate, I know that she was 87 when she passed and was still going camping with her daughter, Cyndy, Cyndy's husband, Bryan Blackwell, and their two boys, Burt and Clay.

     

    Rest in Peace, Rose.

    Please correct this poor woman's birth year. Everyone deserves to have their obituary correct. It is incorrect in the subject line.

    Does anybody know if David went to Paulding Co HS? Even though he is a coupla years older than me, I think he graduated with me.

  8. I agree with you.

     

    This whole thing is very scary from what has been stated in the newspapers and by the sister. A friend lets her kids stay with a friend, and one of the kids alleges this happened. Is that all it takes to have you arrested? (I am not saying it is true or not true. I am asking is all it takes to have you arrested is one allegation) I have not read or heard of any other "evidence", witnesses, prior incidents, e-mails, correspondence, just what the mother says the child said)

     

    This whole thing makes me <sigh> sad. First, we have a young boy alledgedly abused. Second, we have a teacher alledgedly guilty. Third, we have a relative on this site who keeps putting her two cents in. My opinion? Wait for the courts to do their job. As for the relative - STAY OFF THIS SITE. YOU ARE JEOPARDIZING YOUR FAMILY'S CASE EVERY TIME YOU SAY SOMETHING. ONCE IT IS IN PRINT, IT'S DONE.

  9. Yes, it's all in the book. It also goes into her background.

     

    Sounds like a really good read. I love mysteries, and I sometimes will get a true crime. Not often. But I'll have to look this one up. Thanks for the suggestion!! And the friendly banter! :D

  10. Why not? Why would that get me into trouble? Why would I care? True crime is true crime.

     

    Oh, absolutely! But, it's the victim of the crime, and the title of the book. Aethiesm is a minority in this county, I'm sure. I have always thought her death to be an interesting mystery. Did they EVER find the bodies? I saw a program on tv about her a while back. I don't think they answered that question. <_<

  11. I was in total shock when Jessie called me. RIP

    Kristin Prewett . you were a good friend to me and you will be forever

    missed. Im sorry for the things I didnt say, I was holding on to them

    for another day. I promise to tell your son, all the things you would

    say, with kisses on his cheek from mommy everyday!

     

    Angelina

     

     

    What high school did she go to?

  12. There is one off of Terrill Mill Blvd- the address is 1800 Water Place (not sure of the suite # or name). Used to work in the same building.

     

     

    Thank you!

     

    $46 for the ENTIRE 6 week session

     

     

    Thank you!!! I think maybe my daughter and I will do this! Thanks!

  13. Mount Tabor Park has been offering belly dancing classes for over 6 years now. You can choose from either a Wedneday night class or a Friday night class. Cost is $46 for once a week for a six week session. Class is at 7pm and the group even performs from time to time. You are not required to if you don't want to however.

    Call Mt. Tabor at 770-505-3885 as a new session begins next week, June 17th or 19th.

     

     

    Is that $46 for 6 weeks? Or $46 per week for 6 weeks?

  14. Well in the interest of covering my companies new purchase of a new company (40-Million) and the restructuring of his master plan and him not getting this years 2.4million bonus and the employees not getting a raise again. The CEO feels we need to work the last week of June for free. That is all salary employees will work the last week of June and not draw a paycheck.

     

    I know, I have a job and contributing is part of keeping a company floating. But my company just spent 40+ million to buy another company and then he wants money from the salary employees. (No stock kickback, no furlough)

     

    It just rubs me wrong, and I can just about bet it is illegal.

     

    But what can you do? Nothing... Except keep putting out resume's for a more stable company.

     

    Vent over.

     

     

    :angry2: :angry2: NO! NO! NO! It is absolutely illegal to work an employee and not pay them. Call the GA Department of Labor. They will tell you. You absolutely MUST be paid for all time worked. Now, sometimes when a company changes payroll cycles, they may offer that you will skip a week. But they MUST give you options on how to get your money. It is US federal law that an employee MUST be paid FOR ALL TIME WORKED.

  15. Yes, I've had one Mother, but I also had a best-friend/grandmother, that meant more to me and took better care of me for more years than my Mother did. My grandmother's birthday was June 9, 1916, and I've missed her every day for over 12 years now.

     

    But this seems like the last chance I'll get to have a good relationship with my mother, and I need ideas on how to convince her to give the sober life a try (as if 2 broken ribs, punctured lung, broken collar bone, & fractured elbow couldn't be enough?? :blink:

     

    You need to think about the real reasons you want your mother sober. Is it for her, or you? She doesn't want to stop drinking. You need to accept that. She's 70 years old. If she's been drinking all her life, she's less apt to change now. It's all she knows. And facing the reality of a sober life can be really scarey when you've never had to do it. Not to mention doing this at her age. I think you have to accept your mother as she is. She is being the best mother she knows how to be. It's not the wonderful Mrs. Cleaver mom that you want her to be, but it's what you have.

     

    My mother was unstable all of my life. She screamed - didn't talk, screamed - everything. We were beaten, punished, etc. Verbally abused. She was on tranquilizers and sleeping pills. She is still on sleeping pills. I have several memories of her threatening suicide and "pretending" to do it so we'd be upset. Very traumatic. She lives in Pennsylvania, I live in Georgia. She's seen her grandchildren maybe 10 times in their lives and all four of my children are in their twenties now. She did not come for our son's wedding or our daughter's wedding. She did not come for their high school graduations. In fact, the last time my mother was in my house was when my triplets were toddlers. I've seen her since then, but they have not, because I've gone north.

     

    I am not close to her either. If she dropped dead tomorrow, yes, I will be sad on some level. But, the relief of never having to NOT tell her something because it just pisses her off and, in turn, causes ME agony, will be overwhelming. No more worrying about when the other shoe will drop.

     

    I like being 900 miles away. I have a comfortable distance. We talk about once a month or every 6 weeks. I feel your pain. But, move on. Get past it. Take life one day at a time with her. Yes, she's your mother. The only biological mother you have. But you had good substitutes. As did I. Relish those. Cherish those. And accept your biological mother for what the person that she. First and foremost, just a regular human being with faults the size of the Grand Canyon.

     

    Take care!

     

    My ex-husband is an alcoholic and I can tell you from experience that you can not make an alcoholic change or give an alcoholic an incentive to change. Only the alcoholic can do this.

    I can tell that you are a caring person, so don't take it personally. Alcoholics do not care about anything or anyone other than their drink. They will do and say anything to be able to continue to drink.

    I suspect that you already know this.

     

    You have already written one letter that she never responded to. She will not respond to another. Write one if you need to, but don't do it because you expect a different result, do it only because you will feel better for doing it. Up to this point, not being able to see her grandchildren and now, great grandchild has not affected her drinking, it won't change her behavior now. If she will not go into treatment, the best thing you can do is get on with your life.

     

    That is why I have an ex, all the love that I and his family could give him was not enough to change him. All he did was take advantage of that love. Nothing was more important to him than his beer. Nothing, absolutly nothing was more important than getting his daily fix. It took me many years of heartache to finally understand that the only thing I could do was to get as far away from him as I could. I had to do it for my sake, not for his. I have no idea where he is or if he is even still alive. I know that sounds harsh and it is hard to do, but you can't change your mother, you can only change how you respond to the situation. They have to hit rock bottom and really want to change before they can change. Some never get to that point.

     

    Morn the fact that you never had a good relationship with your mother, also accept the fact that it was not your fault and that you did all that you could do to have a good relationship with her.

    For your own sake, forgive your mother for not being a good mother. You can't change her and you need to accept that and move on with your life. Don't regret what she is not capable of giving you. It is not you that is the problem and as much as you love her, since you are not the problem, you can not be the answer. Don't feel bad because you don't have a good relationship. It takes two to have a relationship and she is the one who is not capable of having a good relationship.

     

    Also know that you are not alone in dealing with this. There are others out there who are dealing with simular situations. Find a support group or find a therapist who has experience with helping adult children of alcoholics. Step away from your emotions about your mother and take a good long look at what you have done and accomplished. Most of all, remember that your mother may not be able to give you what you want and that is not your fault. You do not and never will have the power to change her.

     

    The Serenity Prayer

    God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I can not change

    The courage to change the things I can

    And the wisdom to know the difference.

     

     

    AMEN!!!!!
