I just wanted to take a moment to praise Dr. Mike Chiang and all of his incredible nurses for showing compassion and great love for all their patience, even the difficult ones! After going to the Urological Clinic of Valdosta for a routine procedure, I experienced great anxiety and was beyond nervous. Dr. Chiang and his nurses Ashley, Tammy, Nina, and Angela did everything they could to calm my fears and make the visit as pleasurable as possible. Dr. Chiang and his staff are great at what they do and it truly shows in their style of care!
Christmas is over when December 25th is over so if people want to take their decorations down the day after that's fine. There is a reason for this day and it is mainly because of commercialism this has changed into a month, or longer, celebration.
A huge RAVE for Dr. Roan and his staff. They are very professional and very caring with their patients. I took both my kids there to have their wisdom teeth removed and I am very thankful for service we received!
Every time I read comments online posted towards certain articles, I am just saddened by how insensitive people can be. The comments I just read about Ashley Paulk's retirement are a good example. He is a good man, and he did a great job for our community. I bet those making negative remarks about him have been held accountable by him for something they did wrong. Grow up, people!
Shame on the law enforcement for pulling over taxis and giving out tickets to the passengers in them. At least they're being safe instead of driving!
Hope all VSU students open their eyes, remove all ear buds, turn off the I phones and really look, not only left and right but behind also when crossing streets around campus. Just because there are striped pedestrian crossing marks on the street doesn't mean you can just blithely step into vehicular traffic with no consequences. Take responsibility for your actions. The life you save may very well be your own.
I am a gun owner and do not speak with "relish" about killing bad guys. I even own one of those evil AR rifles. My guns have never been used in a crime, or even pointed at anyone. I, and my guns, are not part of the problem. Blame the criminal for their actions and not the tools. Stop trying to figure out why there is evil in the world and punish those who break the laws, not the law-abiding citizen.

Alright Sister's Pizza, how am I supposed to cheat on my diet if you stay closed! The other pizza places are too far from downtown for my lunch hour and are a bit too greasy.

I am thankful I chose to stick with Deep South Sanitation. Our trash is always picked up right on time and he never leaves anything behind. After all my neighbors' trash is "picked up," often items are strewn by the road and the cans are either left in the road or fallen in or beside the road. Get rid of the big company and move to Deep South, if you want true customer service!

Over 150 applicants applied for the handful of teaching jobs in Lowndes County. Plus, almost every single paraprofessional is a certified teacher who has been waiting patiently, “doing their time.” And, Lake Park Elementary hires a teacher who has quit, not once, but twice before. The "good ole' boy" network at its finest.

Have we progressed to the point where we are arguing about gay marriage? I thought the South was still outraged about blacks being able to marry whites! Hmm...We will catch up to the rest of the world eventually.

I found the cartoon referencing Tim Tebow's Christianity on Thursday's editorial page very offensive. I can agree that many people are out for what God can do for them, not how they can serve God, But I do not see any evidence of that attitude or life style in Tim Tebow's life. Time will tell.

Good riddance to the doctor unable to take Medicaid patients?! Do you work for free? I bet you go to work and expect a paycheck. Why would the doctor be any different? Blame our fearless leaders, not the doctors. And you are WAY out of line questioning whether that person is Christian or not. Sounds like the person who thinks preachers should work for free.

Amazing: Even a judgmental person like yourself can’t even bother to get the facts straight before you criticize something. Jason Collins did an extremely brave thing by coming out in a world filled with people such as yourself. Words of Wisdom: Leave the judging to God.

Raves to Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Sylvia at Cook Primary! They have the best behaved class and are the best teachers in that school!

To all who use Coleman Road as a short cut between Old Highway 41 North and North Valdosta Road, please remember the speed limit is 35, not 65. Tailgating me isn’t going to make me go faster. Remember, it’s our neighborhoods, not your short cut!

I hope Al Sharpton finds time to visit the mother in Brunswick whose baby was shot point blank in the forehead while in his baby stroller. Perhaps the reverend could also counsel the angry young black man who pulled the trigger. Oh wait, the baby was white. Never mind.
