Rant & Raves for Wednesday, April 18, 2012

VALDOSTA — Whoever owns the little Chihuahua in Hahira, near the elementary school — please chain him up or put him in the house. I cannot count how many times this dog has almost been run over by myself and other cars.



To the person from Monday’s Rant & Rave on the paving of Coppage Road: That was a well said comment! I am a Coppage Road resident, and in favor of paving the road. Paving the road has nothing to do with land being in the family for generations. Sounds as though they are just trying to find a good excuse for not wanting it paved. Let’s go, Lowndes County, and let’s get this project going!



How does forcing me to pay for something I don't want (ObamaCare) save me money? Charity from the barrel of a gun isn't charity, it's theft.



You're right. There are a lot of busy bodies around here. There are also a lot of people putting things on Facebook that should never be out in the open, and many of them are proud of it. If you put your personal business on the Internet, don't be surprised when people talk about you!



Wow, we should rename Facebook "High School Replay." Forty-something people who act like high school kids? And you think you look cool?



Maybe because logging without permission and a permit is illegal?



To the person who said that the education system is failing our children: While there are many problems, it is not the job of the system to act as a substitute parent for these kids. The respect for authority and discipline should come from the parents first. That is part of raising your child.



To all the people who decide to get out on Sunday mornings to run lawn mowers, chain saws, blowers, etc. — some people would prefer a peaceful and quiet Sunday at home. Please be respectful of other people’s privacy and don’t start up your engines until after Sunday services and lunch.



Thanks to the beautiful lady who returned my lost ring to me at TJ Maxx. It is a family inheritance. God bless you and the wonderful staff who helped me find the ring.



Many thanks to Toni, Dr. Kumar’s nurse at Valdosta Medical. She is so helpful.



It is not the education system who is failing our kids, it is the parents who are failing our kids, who are not teaching them respect.

    Thank you to Victoria at Winn-Dixie in Lake Park for  being honest. I left my cash back in the automatic check out. She found it, and turned it in. Great employee. Keep her Winn-Dixie.

    I am a student at Valdosta State University, I pay thousands of dollars in tuition, but I am not allowed to use the Student Recreation Center because I am not taking summer classes. I was told that I have to pay $45 to use the Rec Center during the summer. As if I don't pay enough already... Utterly ridiculous.

    Truly embarrassing that our community euthanizes 12 animals daily. Our citizenry hasn’t progressed to understand responsibility. The end result in these horrible economic times is the ongoing suffering of animals. Other locales nearby have solved this problem; mandatory spay/neuter and breeding licenses are needed to stop this scourge. Let’s get serious, please!

    I think what the County Commissioners  are doing to Deep South Sanitation is outrageous and I think the citizens of Lowndes County should remember this during the next election. They are giving away freedom of choice. This man had this trash collection before Advanced.

    The City of Valdosta needs another cable company! Competition is a great thing.

    Perhaps I'm in the minority, but I'm quite pleased with Advanced Disposal. I'm paying less than I paid for service with Veolia, the service is reliable and they offer a large recycling bin. I don't understand what's "socialist" about offering county residents affordable, reliable service.

    Closing the trash drop off was a big mistake. I live in Stone Creek so now I can’t put anything beside the street, now I have to haul it to the landfill and pay by weight. I had to pay $15, then I have to pay the trash pick up monthly. Something is wrong in this picture. I have a lot of yard waste, so now I have to take it to the landfill every time I clean yards.

    I live in Brooks County. A while back, a limb fell at the edge of my yard. I called the road department asking to remove it. I was told they could not help because it was on private property. Later driving down Johnson Short Road, I saw the road department removing limbs from a yard. I have found out the limbs were on private property.

    Do people in Valdosta not understand that when you lag behind at a green light there are people behind you that will not make the green light due to your inconsideration?

    Mosquitoes in the city are growing fast. But sanitation and cable bills in so-called "Metro Valdosta" are growing even faster!
