Bonkers: Only 14 days in office...and already he has let Iran launch a satellite!! ptcjenn: Lost cat in Peachtree CityHi all, I am checking with animal control and vets etc. but figured I'd try here too. Our new cat Alex got out yesterday and hasn't come back yet. He's grey tabby on top, white on the bottom, HUGE and super fluffy (part ragdoll cat). mthom5436: Alcohol PermitsWhats the deal with alcohol permits? I moved away for awhile and when I came back I had to get this stupid alcohol permit to wait tables. The Wedge: Small enginer repair near Peachtree CityHello blogging community.

Fred Garvin: It's a Circus: Tax problems for yet ANOTHER Obama nomineeFred Garvin: Community Organizing ExplainedBonkers: BanksBanks are still broke, I hear! Chow: Barack Obama BoulevardHappy days are here again. With all our problems now solved with the President’s Stimulus Plan, Cities and Towns all over America are renaming Main Streets and Schools after Obama. Phil Whitley: No Mayonnaise in IrelandWarner Robbins, Air Force Base, 1963, and I was the “New kid” in the shop. It was my first job as an Electronics Technician—fresh out of school with an A.S. degree, First Class Radiotelephone license and absolutely, totally alone in this town full of strangers. The only people I knew were the guys I worked with, and they all had families and friends. dollaradayandno...: Now the water bill going up!Don't build the dam dam. Not until we all have a job again! Someone wants to "build" fancy houses on the lake created? Missy-Sippy: No wonder our school taxes are so highI already knew our local boards of education were in the real estate business, but I didn’t know they were in healthcare field also. I was surprised to find out that schools provide expensive medical clinics that hire RN’s with a staff of helpers to test blood sugar levels of diabetic students, give insulin shots, treat asthma attacks, sore throats and other medical problems. Fred Garvin: Tell Your Senators: Vote NO on the So-called "Economic Stimulus" BillClick link below to send letter to your Senators: loveptc: Pepper SprayCan anyone tell me where I can buy pepper spray to go on my key chain?

So I was wondering why don't we just divvy up the $750 billion stimulus package to the unemployed? That works out to $68,182 to each.

Good and Bad. The good means we are doing something that pleases people. The bad means we need to strive to do better. My goal at the Longbranch is to see that everyone goes away happy. As far as the low score one time their was no one less pleased than I was, but I can assure all that it will never happen again and will admit that it is unacceptible I don't care what restaurant it is including mine. I have and always will try to make The Branch a pleasurable experiance for everyone. I will not speak negative of any of your thoughts because it is the only way we can improve on the things that are not up to standards.I will comment on one thing. What happened between Debbie and I it is of no concern to anyone other than she and I. Debbie and I still remain friends today. If you had a bad experiance please try us again, We will strive to make it a pleasurable one. Again thank all of you for your comments. Mike King: Peachtree City PoliticsHere we go again, a mere three years have gone by and we are apt to have an incumbent mayor vying to retain office. The only difference is his opponent will have had just over a year and one-half on Council and privy to the city's business dealings(both good and bad). This election will likely have the city divided more evenly, unlike the previous mayoral race when the incumbent was soundly defeated. Nitpickers: When the Inflation ComesLocal governments who live on sales tax swhite135: Golf cart path in Cedarcroft:poor planning by Ravin homes and the City CouncilThe article on the golf cart path in Cedarcroft did NOT even touch on the facts. This golf cart path in the neighborhood is being used as a major thru way to Walmart. On a pretty day with good weather- over 200 golf carts a day use this path. The police and the City have come an monitored the traffic on this path. There are over 15 children under 9 years old living between the golf cart path and the end cul de sac. These are outdoors playing and it is not safe with most of the golf carts speeding thru without even looking. One golf cart lost control and went completely through a garage door in a house on the path. It was poor planning for the City Council to approve the path and poor planning for Ravin Homes to build the path. No golf cart path in a neighborhood should be used as the main thru way to get to the Walmart retail area. There is a golf cart path along MacDuff Pkwy that could be used to get to the retail area. But no one will complete it. More poor planning by both parties. As for Micheal Rossetti denying that they told buyers the golf cart was going to be removed - it was only temporary. Was he present everytime his sales people spoke to potential buyers? No he wasn't, I built a house in Ravin Homes and did not see Micheal Rossetti until the closing. He does not know what his sales people said to home buyers. The fact of the matter is the following: Peachtree City is a family planned city. With the amount of children in this neighborhood and playing outside, the first priority needs to be safety. The way that mostly the younger drivers drive the golf carts on this path is not safe. What if the golf cart that lost control and went through the garage door of a home had hit a child. If the newspaper was going to write an article on the path, they should have emphasized the amount of traffic, the accidents that have occurred, and the danger the children in the neighborhood. The paper seemed to have overlooked some of the facts. We need for the City Council and for Ravin Homes to do whatever is necessary for the safety of the residents in Cedarcroft. It is not just one family being inconvenienced as the reporter implied. It is a large group of children who could get hurt because of the path being used as the main thru way to Walmart. Finish the path on MacDuff Pkwy which is not near any homes and there will be no need for the paths in Cedarcroft. The right thing needs to be done by both parties to ensure the safety of the residents. JeffC: Oh.
