VALDOSTA —
To the person who told me to "save my tears" for the homeless lady, I teared up at the Christianity I saw that day, not feeling sorry for the homeless lady. And yes, she probably does make more than I do in a day- I am a teacher after all!
Comment about the wheelchair riding on the road, is this any different than the golf cart driving in the neighborhoods? That shouldn't be allowed either. Especially when it is young kids driving them all over the street and right through the stop signs. Hmmm...bless their hearts.
I have to agree about the wheelchairs being used as a means of transportation. This is a very dangerous situation. I have seen several almost get hit. Why won’t law enforcement do something about it? They are not street legal.
To the parents of the VHS girl in the mini cooper...make her leave earlier or take her phone. She almost killed herself when running a red light at a high rate of speed Friday morning. She would've been killed if I hadn't seen her first!
Thank you to Lashetha Brown who works at McDonald’s on S. Patterson St. I ordered a sandwich, got to the window and my purse was missing, counted up some loose change which was not enough and this lady put the rest in. Thank you so much!
I guarantee the “homeless” people don't feel humbled or humiliated at all. Why don't we try it? Because most of us aren't liars and scammers. Last time I got scammed, it was by a guy who professed his and his wife's Christianity.
At the University of Illinois about 20 years ago, the student paper interviewed one of the well known “homeless” men that was always on campus. He admitted to making about $60,000 “tax free” from his begging. There may be a few who truly need help, but I won't give panhandlers a dime.
It's true that guns shouldn't be glamorized, just as drinking liquor or beer. Drunk drivers kill more people every year than people with guns. The problem is that people must separate fantasy from real life.
Funny, the group wanting to change the Constitution to partition electoral votes is the same group hiding behind the Constitution on changing gun laws.
Why are there still construction signs on North Valdosta Road when there hasn’t been any since November?

How long is it going to take AT&T telephone and/or Mediacom cable to do something about the vines and bushes growing over the cable lines at Mt. Zion Church Road and Academy Acres. The lines are pulled down where a 6 foot person can touch them. We won’t have any cable service or phone service if something is not done about this pretty soon.

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!
