Talk Bainbridge Georgia

Excerpts from a Wall Street Journal Article

“The whole point of cap and trade is to hike the price of electricity and gas so that Americans will use less. These higher prices will show up not just in electricity bills or at the gas station but in every manufactured good, from food to cars. Consumers will cut back on spending, which in turn will cut back on production, which results in fewer jobs created or higher unemployment. Some companies will instead move their operations overseas, with the same result.”

“Low-income Americans, who devote more of their disposable income to energy, have more to lose than high-income families.”

My wife had recently suffered a fall and a co worker transported her to the Bainbridge Memorial Hospital because she had hit her head on a solid object when she fell, knocking her unconscious. My wife called me at my work place in Tallahassee and informed me of her accident and that she was being taken to the Hospital.

I left work and traveled home to Bainbridge to check on the condition of my wife. When I arrived I found my wife and her co worker in a waiting room. I asked my wife if she had talked to a Doctor yet and she said she had her blood pressure and her temperature taken.

Why is it when the theater offers “free” movies to the children on Tues. & Thurs. during the summer we can’t even take our kids & grandkids?; Because 2 bus loads of kids from Qunicy have been taken up there and “dropped off” and they close the doors to the rest of us because it is full!

For the last 11 yrs, I have been crossing the tracks on this road and it just gets worse and worse. I thought maybe that something would have been done by now, but I guess not.

Certainly there must be personal responsibility, from parents and even from young teenagers….

On Friday we had two bikes stolen from under our shed, IN BROAD DAYLIGHT”! This is not the first time this has happened. Last year we had some stolen, or tried to be, (article here) but we happened to look out the back door and watched them walk right up to our shed and they got one before we could get out there but once we let our dog out ….

It’s crazy about all these car burglaries. My car has been hit twice in three months. I live off of Lake Douglas road just before the bridge….. About two weeks ago my car got hit again. Like an idiot I forgot my wallet in my car.. Woke up the next morning with my back door to my car wide open my credit cards, DL, Student Id, some of my dads credit cards all gone. So once again to thomasville I went to spend $20 for a DL plus the gas, canceled all my credit cards, new student id…. Whewww It just really ticks me off. Its sad when you have to put motion lights and security cams around house.

I  think that Mr. Phillips is right about fixing the roads in decatur county, i know several roads they need to be fixed, he also said we need to pave or fix the roads, so that don’t have not go back every 30 days and fix them every month, if the county would fix and do them right they would not have citzens complaining, and going back to there meetings and compalining all the time.

I wanted to write this due to the fire on 6/3/09. If you rent your home, it is very important that you protect yourself with renters insurance. Please call one of the local insurance companies and check into it. I would also like to ask everyone to please keep Michael Passmoore in their prayers as he lost everything he owned in the fire.

The events at the library use to be so exciting for kids to go enjoy, but now…

Recently my nieces went to the Teddy Bear Tea Party. They were so pumped up to go and couldn’t wait. All they talked about was this event at the local library.

The City of Bainbridge is facing an age old issue, when do you serve the needs of a few at a cost to the many -
The Few (residents on Williams Street) or
The Many (citizens tax money).

My friends in Bainbridge,
You know my uncle is elderly and served in the armed forces in Korea and got $250.00 + 50. He received enough to get his electric windows fixed on his 86Ford. He is so proud that he can get them fixed himself as his daughter was going to pay to have them repaired.

He lives off a small Social Security Check and a small VA check. I am thankful for the help to him.

I will have to say how soon we forget the DFCS workers that….

About the saggy pants I don’t think its fair to arrest people about there pants sagging when there’s females around here that’s showing more than their underwear I think if they are going to arrest the males for indecent exposure they should start arresting the females too but I doubt they start doing that because the police like when they see the females wear clothes that show everything but I just think
Its Not Fair At All

Is it possible for the shelter to get a few security cameras to see who is dropping off these animals? If it is against the law, that would help to prosecute. Also, I have heard that in bigger cities, spaying and neutering are offered for low fees or even free at certain times of the year. We need to control the amount of unwanted puppies and kittens. I am an animal lover, but I believe the population needs to be controlled.
