VALDOSTA —
I take care of myself...very rarely sick and working full time, take care of my three children. And yes it is expensive when I go to the dentist or doctor...it’s not because I don’t take care of myself, it’s because I do!
If the Obama Administration gets what they want in terms of defense cuts, modifying military retirement benefits and programs, health care, etc., our nation will eventually be at great risk with a much weakened military to defend her. They are cutting in all of the wrong places.
So because someone is a preacher, he or she should not make a nice salary and have a nice home? Some preachers have other, full-time jobs, outside the church, which is usually a full-time job itself. And even if the church is his full-time job, why should he make pennies?The job is much more than "just" preaching a sermon on Sunday morning. Sounds to me you think the preacher should give you part of his salary so you don't have to live on a budget and he will.
If schools need more money why not collect from the high school games? Thousands are made from them every year. Need more collect from the local tax office, millions are made from there. What about lottery? I assure you they all have a lot more money than I do. But by all means if you have extra money to give, you don't need a tax to go into effect. The schools are willing to accept all donations. Who knows, you may receive a tax write off from it.
Please go ahead and tell me what the excuse for Obama will be in 2016. When businesses close, less jobs, less work hours, less pay, a housing market crash, ever rising gas prices, rising cost of utilities, rising cost of groceries, less American armed forces, mandated health care all happening in the next four years. Will this too be the Republicans fault?
Tonight I saw the family down in Madison testing their Christmas lights. I really enjoy this lights show and I get to see it every night on the way home from work.
I recently required a few stitches from my doctor....the cost $550. To have them removed...$250. To be fair, I do pay for health insurance. So, I will only be required to pay about $600 of the cost. How can the average worker afford this?
It is a shame that on this Veterans Day, we are learning that thanks to Obama Care, we veterans are going to have to pay more for our health care, so that others that feel they are owed can get free health care.

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.

I thought that all schools had dress codes that the teachers and substitutes had to follow? When I walk into the school it looks like they are headed to the pool instead of the classroom. Tank tops and skimpy skirts are not allowed. Come on, administration, make them follow the rules. Thank you, to the teachers and staff that do adhere to the dress code.

Property tax should be based on value. School taxes should be separate and assessed to each household equally, no exemptions. The rich, middle and poor should pay equally for children's public education.
