VALDOSTA —
Thank you, President Obama, for raising the taxes on my husband's check and my check. Our income is now lower thanks to you. We will now have to get second jobs in order to survive!
Thanks to the two Valdosta police officers who pulled me over for jogging early on Baytree Road. They did the same to two other runners as I continued my run.
Instead of depending on The Valdosta Daily Times to get your information about how to obtain a driver’s license, why don't you call the DMV and get the information straight from the source?
SGMC emergency room had one doctor on duty Jan. 2 at 2:30 a.m. I waited to see a doctor for over two hours before I left and saw my regular doctor at 8 a.m. With emergency vehicles arriving and people that had higher priority, i.e., chest pain, one doctor was not able to take care of all the people. SGMC should require the company that supports the emergency room to have two doctors on duty with staff at all times.
Perhaps the waiter who complained about adults ordering from the children's menu would be more comfortable working in a restaurant where it is not permitted. The portion sizes are better, and we do expect the same service as it takes the same amount of effort either way. We leave a more than generous "adult" tip, realizing a waiter depends on tips.
Blocking websites in places of business, including hospitals, is a normal procedure. It's meant to keep employees from wasting time surfing and is difficult to separate within the business.
I sincerely hope the Lowndes County commissioners and the new chairman do not continue down the road of messing with the density requirements around Moody AFB. If they do, they are playing with fire as I believe the military would close Moody in a heartbeat during the next round of base reviews.
The BCS National Championship was nothing but a national joke. The real championship was played on Dec. 1. I will be so glad when the playoff system is put into effect. There will be times when a better team gets eliminated by a team that just played better that day but no more of this getting to the championship just because you're undefeated.
Thank you, VDT, for an all rave column on Wednesdays. It's so nice to read all the positive things people are saying. Starts my day off just right!

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!

We live in Stone Creek and couldn't be happier with Deep South Sanitation! They are the best. People don't realize that they come get your trash can and put it back on the side of the house! Keep fighting Deep South, and know you have our support!
