Did it occur to you that the ambulance may have just gotten a call while they were behind you?
I recently had a very good experience from Veolia. After my current garbage provider did not pick me or my neighbor’s garbage for three weeks then took my can after I was paid in full through December, Veolia brought me a new can and took the garbage left by the other company. Folks these people do a job most of us would not. Thank you for your prompt service and you have earned my business
I would like to send a huge RAVE to Smith Northview ICU for taking such good care of my mother during her stay there. I would especially like to think Ashli, PCT; Michelle, RN and Bonnie, RN for all that they done for her and for our family. Thanks, ladies!! You are the best!!
Thanks to all the Democrats for joining up with the other states and we came together as a nation to put Barack Obama back into office. Thanks again! Have a blessed day.
Who was the genius engineer who did not put a green arrow turn signal light on the traffic lights at River and St. Augustine so we can turn left onto St. Augustine towards the mall? Why spend the money to put a turning lane to turn left but no arrow light... the traffic backs up to the Masonic lodge and only one car can get through a light... great minds at work here in Valdosta!
Plenty of people decorate early because they want to start celebrating early and extend the holiday as long as possible. Thanksgiving still takes place and gets its place in the sun, but I think the holidays go hand in hand.
Where does money go made from high school sports? How do you think uniforms, away game transportation, etc. are paid for?
Ticket sales at all high school sporting events go to the athletic fund that supports all other sports which are poorly attended or don’t have gates for the event. Property taxes don’t support any extracurricular activities in school systems. Football pretty much funds everything mandated by the state depending on what classification you are.
I want to thank the person in the small silver car at Zacadoo’s on Friday for paying for the police officer’s breakfast. It was a nice surprise. I will pay it forward. Thank you again.
Rave, Rave, Rave for all the people that helped my son get to Chicago with the Georgia Bridgemen this year!

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.
