VALDOSTA —
Death comes to everyone but when lives are destroyed because of an accident and a fatality, families and friends are changed forever. It is the very fact that someone was distracted for a second, eyes were diverted for whatever the reason and people are destroyed forever! It may not be the driver killed but you are responsible for others when driving.
When behind the wheel please keep eyes on the road!
I hope The Valdosta Daily Times is able to publish a very comprehensive list concerning what projects and how much the projects will cost concerning the upcoming SPLOST VII vote. Who makes up the list and who oversees their implementation. So many people are tired of taxes because they don’t feel they see anything to show for it. The SPLOST VII revenue directly benefits our community with projects that our city has a hard time finding the funding to accomplish.
Rules should change and the bikers should ride on the sidewalk. There are very few walking, if any, on the sidewalk and it would be safer for everyone.
Bicyclists may have rights, but if they don’t stay off the road, they may be dead right. Sometimes we don’t have time to stop, move over or even see them. They are putting their life on the line and should bike somewhere with less traffic.
My hats off to the firefighters in black gear that walked in the Honey Bee Parade. It was hot and they still wore all that stuff. When I asked if it was hot, he said it’s part of the job. I have new respect for firefighters. Thank you, firefighters all over the world!
Happy Emergency Nurses Week to all the fine nurses at the SGMC emergency room! You guys are awesome at what you do and deserve to have a week to acknowledge it!
Ignorance is bliss! We see it everyday! Keep telling yourself you know everything, maybe it will be true someday! Bless your heart, goofy!
Can you say online school? Good! Now what does that mean?! Ugghhh ...
Let’s give a shout out to anyone who works a job and sticks to the job for better or worse! Not just sitting around criticizing, complaining or looking for an easy way.
I agree that the arrows at Sam’s should be obeyed. But why should I wait in line to get gas when no one is using the pump on the other side. Maybe there should be fewer lanes with gas tanks on the right side of vehicles.

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.
