My question is: Where the 2 children home alone? A 12 YO is not mature enough to be in charge of an 8 YO.

WOW can't imagine what went wrong.

Just because you produce the egg and hatch it doesn't mean you are a mother. That term should not be used here. I CAN think of a lot of other names that fit.

@Rock Kickass: Paraprofessionals

Today -8:00 - 10:30 TODAY???

Most small business owners WORK during those hours to MAKE their business a success! How about hosting it on a weekend?

As a cancer survivor, I hope this little guy joins the club.

Now as far as Barrow County goes, I find it interesting that there are 2 papers in the county and neither felt this worthy of reporting! Sad!

Well, good thing he wasn't in Georgia where he could have carried a gun to church. Think of the carnage he could have caused.

Prayers for the victims and their families

Just planted my rows for the hungry and I intent to attend this function as well to show my support

My question -- why didn't the airport have the car towed?

Didn't know they were a not for profit. Thought they were just groomers. Think I will stop by on my way home from work this afternoon and check them out.

When you think of what other choices they could have made in regards to this child, leaving it on someone's door step was the right and proper choice. Don't get me wrong, I don't advocate dumping unwanted children but at least they had the presents of mind to drop her off where she could be easily/readily found.

@swhitney:

I'll give you that one. I DO live live in an area that is just full of GOB types and they all had their Broun signs out.

And yet he was re-elected. Fascinates me that people will [filtered word]/complain/moan/blog about their elected officials being incompetent and yet, they continue to re-elect them and wonder why things don't change!

Be interesting to see if he actually shows up. He sent one of his lackeys to all the forums when he was running for re-election because he had better things to do than "met and greet" his supporters.

fitit: Don't worry at least 1 of his haters will be there to protest!

WOW -- didn't know Gainesville HAD a symphony orchestra. Maybe if they had done a better job of advertising it, more people would have supported it, rather than make that long drive into Atlanta!

@Lady of the Lake: You are assuming she had a phone. Does dialing 0 for an operator still work?

Sad, Sad, story.

A farmers cooperative that shares equipment is the first step to bypassing the barriers young farmers face when first planting.

As a beginning female farmer, it's hard to get the old multi-generational farmers to take you serious. It's hard to get the USDA to take you serious.

So if Mr.Nygren can overcome that barrier, that would be awesome!

I love the idea of community gardens. It's amazing how much you can grown on 1/4 acre.

@CharlotteLadyGardner: NO, Shame on whomever reported it as offensive!

When a page is reported as offensive, it is automatically disabled until FB can review the contents. SOP.

2 days - 4 votes -- I think that is a record. Praying the new pope is the archbishop of Boston - O'Mallery

Sorry for the family's loss and my sincere condolences to them, BUT he shouldn't have dirt biking headed onto private property.

Well, this year when I renew my tags, my specialized ones will be going away and that $105.00 they were costing me --- I'll be writing a check and sending it directly ...

@proftom: My Husband works for one of those high tech companies that hire from abroad. And you are 200% correct about them wanting cheap labor. I can't count the times, I've heard him say, you can hire 10 for the price of 1 American. He also complains about how they train them and then they jump ship and go work for someone else. It's still cheaper to train a foreign national and have them leave after a few months then it is to hire an American.

My heart goes out to this family Go Team Boom.

Condolences to this officer and his family, friends and fellow officers. I know he will be missed. It's always hard to hear of a law enforcement officer being killed in the line of duty.

Yep, we don't need gun control. Just give all the crazies guns. Oh wait, we already do. With present and past family members, and friends in law enforcement, I want to see laws changed so crazies aren't as well armed or better armed than the cops!

Don't mind having a hand gun for protection or a rifle for hunting.

And I thought the "biker" gangs in Georgia were just fat old men suffering from a mid life crisis! I kind-of still think that's the case, BUT when given the opportunity for some excitement, and a chance to dive further into the fantasy of being a young, bad ass, they took it.

@Southern Man: Was thinking the same thing. Grates to pop the tires if you go the wrong way on an exit ramp. In case of emergency when the police are directing people to use a ramp, the grates could be locked in the down position
