No, I eat one steak, skip the chicken, and dodge the greasy spots. However I quit going there and paying for all of the stolen stuff!
They have to raise their prices to make up for it.

If you're eating 6 steaks & taking 5 pounds of chicken home with you (i.e., stealing), then you need to go on a serious diet.

If you don't control yourself, then you'll end up like this man:

A Mexican tipping the scales at 560 kilograms (1,234 pounds) will be listed as the world's fattest man by the Guinness Book of Records, while a loss of 200 kilos (440 pounds) may make him the man who lost the most weight. (See picture.)

"Half-Ton Man Losing Weight On Low-Carb" (See pictures.)

Carrying your purse again and answering your own blogs? Maybe you should come in for a little chat.

Dr. Denise

I weigh 189. 6'4". How about you----210, 5'1" maybe?
I don't steal chicken or other food. Too hard on my purse, grease- wise.

Don't you know that it's not polite to ask a lady her weight?

Surely you remember that I'm a lot taller than 5'1" and a lot slimmer?

Glad to know that you're no longer hiding food.

6'4"?

Dr. Denise

Nothing like Ryans - the food is really 'down home' - and not greasy. The place was packed Sunday! . .and I don't think they let you 'sneak' food - but who knows!

It is not "sneaking", it is stealing, if you don't eat it in house.

then why do you put it in your purse?

I yam what I yam...Popeye

No steaks that I saw, but if your purse is big enough I guess you could take chicken, how big is your purse?

I yam what I yam...Popeye

How about the armed robbery at Wiltshire....they ever catch the guy.

This could be another photo opportunity for Chief Murray. I see news cameras on the cartpaths....

I was told? Apparently?

Where do you think you are?

I understand your disappointment. I moved here to be safe. I honestly did not want to have to buy a gun to be safe in my own home. If most of what goes on here was in the news we would not be able to ask outrageous prices for our homes. The realtors and developers here have made a killing based on half truths. Sounds like you figured it out alot quicker than I did. If you work downtown you might want to look at Alphretta/Sandy Springs area. They have some of the same problems, but they have the right number of cops to deal with it. Good Luck.

While we are dispelling urban myths John what happened with the armed robbery in Wiltshire dollar store? Did they ever catch him? I bet not since he took off on the cart paths.(no chance of running into a cop there) He probably used the gravel road behind Morallion Hills that goes to hwy. 74. Mostly I only see druggies and kids with no cart numbers back there. Like today. some real "gems" came out of the woods in a maroon cart with no tag. It's a shame drunk-squirrel-shooter-man was sleeping in, maybe he would have scared the druggies away, or tagged one....whatever

Probably happened during a shift change.

Are you kidding me? The police are not here to give YOU information via the phone whenever you want it. You want that kind of access, get a badge. Until then, if you are so starved for information, go up to the Police Station and request a copy of the report. They are required/and more than willing to give it to you for a small fee. Do some work and research before you post mindless rants from now on. It is your fault for not knowing how to do things properly.

I was simply trying to make a point. I contacted the police and spoke to an officer there. They told me that there was no information available; over the phone or otherwise. This was my point.

I'd say your post is the "mindless" one; if you can't participate in a community forum objectively then you shouldn't participate at all. You're the kind that make these discussions juvenile and "mindless".

You want us all to go to the police station and demand copies of all reports every day, do you?
We are treated like second class citizens enough as it is, that would be horrible!

I guess we can assume that it wasn't a cornered internet pedophile or they would have called a news conference.

Everyone on here knows you think talking dirty to children is OK. That leads me to believe you are doing it from your spider hole in your house. I am sure you are as low a slime ball as those that have been arrested. Maybe you need to go to work in the DA's office.

I'll only respond because I happen to be here..

"Everyone on here knows you think talking dirty to children is OK."

Your proof of this statement? Do I think some of your 14 & 16 year olds are a bit more experienced than you want to think (or remember)?

I can certainly understand that some of you were never in that backseat and I find it hard to imagine that you had the opportunity or the nerve to replicate.

"Teach your children well.." CSN. Don't expect the PTCPD to catch the 1 here.

$, what difference does it make who died?

If you're so worried that the local police haven’t taken the time to keep you informed about who might have committed suicide and under what circumstances’ it may or may not have occurred; why don't you go down to the police station, with a little cash, and under the "Open Records Act" request any and all police reports that may or may not exist for an incident that may or may not have happened.

What business is it of yours or anyone else’s if someone committed suicide?

Do you also hang out at the Kroger checkout so you can keep up on all the "impotent" news from the Inquirer and Star?

I think I understand now, you haven't got your daily dose of Hollywood blond bimbo drives drunk lately and are in withdraw. Is that it?

For God’s sake, GET A LIFE!

I don't think like you! I don't want their name....just what happened.
Are we to decide at police headquarters just what we will inform the town about, and what we will not?
If there is a shooting we need to know if it is murder or suicide and if they had a record. Saying it doesn't make it so!
The very worst sin an administration could do is cover-up bad and sad situations for commercial and police department benefit.
Simply eliminate those possibilities.

Let it go.

Don5887 and Dollar both had legitimate questions. If there was a murder or even a death on the golf cart paths, I would want to know what happened. John Munford has answered that--it was a suicide.

NOW, we can let it go. No need for names and details, just the fact that it was a suicide, not a murder.

Thanks to John Munford for clearing that up.

”If there is a shooting we need to know if it is murder or suicide and if they had a record.”

No you don’t. What perverted, twisted and/or narcissistic afflictions do you have?

If it was a suicide, you’re not “entitled” to know anything about it.

The families’ right to privacy far exceeds your ghoulish desire to pry into someone else’s business.

I have no doubt that you believe the PTCPD routinely covers up murders all the time to protect the profits of the local business owners and real estate companies of the community.

$ is this you?

Narcissistic personality disorder diagnostic criteria

At least five of the following are necessary for a diagnosis (as with many DSM diagnoses, they must form a pervasive pattern; for example, a person who shows these criteria only in one or two relationships or situations would not properly be diagnosed with NPD):

1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance
2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
3. believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by other special people
4. requires excessive admiration
5. strong sense of entitlement
6. takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
7. lacks empathy
8. is often envious or believes others are envious of him or her.
9. arrogant affect

Was I right, or did I miss a few?

$, you need help.

Dollar's "grandiose sense of self-importance" is why he feels compelled to post multiple times daily about subjects that he has little knowledge of, in an effort to garner admiration for his "special" understanding of all topics. He is definitely "preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance."

$, (I know that you're reading this) are taking your meds?

Dr. Denise

No grandiose, no meds, no alcohol, no cigarettes, but much knowledge and special understanding. I also like little people (not small), workers, treatment for the sick, food for the hungry, decent wages for everyone who works, bridges that don't fall, wars that end, despise torture of any creature, including dogs and humans, and laws to punish those who don't obey them.
I know that hits home, but I have to do it.

"but much knowledge and special understanding"

Your honor, I rest my case.

Sounds like delusions of grandeur to me!

Guilty, as charged!

Is there room available at Charter?

Are you serious about this situation being a secret forever?
Get the truth out quickly so as to prevent hordes of incorrect rumors! It has nothing to do with my knowing anything.
You do know that the President of the WWE is suspected in the Benoit case, don't you? Yeah, right!

Are YOU kidding me?? If this happened in your neighborhood you would want someone to be able to give you information too. Is it too much to ask for the media to report the news? I think a suicide-murder can be considered news. How about you think the next time you want to post mindless rants. This person was just expressing their concern, and there is no need for you to be rude.

A murder/suicide sounds like a personal problem to me -- not a community problem.

As a new resident of PTC and a husband and father of 2, I certainly want to know a few things: what kind of community my family is living in; is there a gun problem; drug problem; crime problem that are being covered up for economic reasons? How am I to know that that particular part of town is a "bad part" or not?

The only question that needs to be answered is: if everything is in order, why is everbody keeping so quite about it? It seems very unusual to me.

Somebody mentioned that a sucide is a personal problem; I say: not when it happens in a public place. A suicide in a public place means a gun in a public place where me and my children might be.

I thought I could get some helpful input here about PTC but you guys seem more interested in a pissing contest then a discussion forum.

Are you joking? Of course you are!
Just how long do you think it will take for all of the truth to be public?

I heard that a guy committed suicide on the golf cart path at Amli - Kedron. Isn't that on the apartment property? And I was wondering the same thing! Aren't the police reports public access? Why hasn't the paper reported anything? I also heard that a kid overdosed at Lake Kedron a few weeks ago - and there has been nothing reported about that either. This isn't Pleasantville people!! Why aren't we getting our news!

If one has a need for one extra lemon (which I doubt) then I see no problem except it is extra work for the staff.
However, those better than the general public people (a few whom I have eaten with at times) who want something special about every item on their choice really slay me.
To start with, the cheapies want to know if they can have a half order at half price or some such, or "just what do you have at a bar gin?"
Then they want the vegetables to be a certain mixture (no broccoli or onions)and of course a double serving of dressing, on the side, not mixed in.
The meat must be fresh, and they ask as if the waiter would have a faint idea about it, and when he or she says "yes" then they want it so thick and done in a way which takes 3-4 sentences to describe, and of course, no dusting or bottle stuff on it while cooking---bring me the bottles--all of them.
And, "what kind of bread do you have? When will the next fresh batch be ready? Hold my meal until it just comes out of the oven and then bring it immediately with non diary butter, so I can eat it while you get my platter ready (heated plate, please).
Is the pasta al dente? To me, not you madam. Bring a test string, please.
When I empty my tea, I will look around and wave to you wherever you are and please come right away as I need liquid often with my meal.
There is no way you will meet half my demands so $1 tip is what you get, in pennies.

Gee Whiz pal...do you have some major "issues" or what ? My buddy Hutch and I were using the column to say our feelings. You totally went off and by the way, when my other half and I go out w/friends,we always over tip,20% or more.I'd say a good 99% waiters/waitresses work real hard.And we appreciate them.By the way,I also did not ask if you liked lemon or not.Don't really care. Have a wonderful day $.

First thing dollar, I didn't ask for extra lemon, just my change. I didn't ask for half an order, or if it's fresh or when the next batch will be done and as far as I know the sausage biscuit only comes cooked one way, so the next time you feel the need to rant about something leave me out.

I don't know whom I resent the most: those who need a considerable space around them for their Karma to operate, and those who deliberately bang into everyone, as if they didn't exist, and don't even seem to know what they are doing, it is so usual for them.
I really don't have very much trouble even in a crowded place because I look around and assist in providing a way by, usually.
As to the cash register clerk, I'm afraid many are simply oblivious to the customer and just refuse to recognize them as being there by a smile or a nod, or something.
I will say that some people, a few, have a distinct paranoia about not being asked to move as a special favor.

Last saturday at the Mcdonalds south of Fayetteville I ordered my food and it came out to $3.18, I gave the lady a five and eighteen cents she rang it up, put it in the register, closed the drawer and turned around and started talking with another employee.
I said excuse me to her three different times and was ignored, then I yelled YO at her and that got her attention and everyone else's in the place. I explained it to her and in a surly manner she gave me my change, slammed my food on a tray and said have a good day.Oh well, just another day in paradise.

I yam what I yam...Popeye

...it's the one in front of Michael's too. A few months ago I stopped in to pick up breakfast for everybody and made a large order. Well while I was waiting, I looked at the receipt and noticed that the cashier rang up the order wrong and overcharged me $8! (I didn't notice it sooner because like I said it was a big order.) I tried explaining to her what the problem was but she kept insisting I was wrong even after I showed her the prices! I had to wait 10 minutes (or more -- it was a very long time and the food was getting cold) for a manager to come and she gave me my $8 back though very unwillingly. And she acted like I did something wrong asking for MY money back! Needless to say I haven't and won't be going back! Horrible, horrible service!

I've had the same thing happen to me. It's as though one is making a contriubtion to McD's, or someone's pocket. It's as though there is no change due to anyone. And yes, you are met with rudeness when it is brought to their attention.

Wow...I wrote about the exact same thing happening to me at that McDonalds about 3-4 weeks ago. I went looking for the post but couldn't find it. I thought from my experience it might have been "a axcident"....now after reading your post I'm not so sure.

Someone has filed a heavy hitting lawsuit this week against Tyrone, specifically calling out Barry Amos, Sheryl Lee, Valerie Fowler, Ginger Blackstone and the rest of the planning commission as well as all the town council. I went to the Fayette County Courthouse and read the lawsuit.....IT IS AWESOME. You should contact Ben Nelms at the Citizen for more information - he has a copy of the lawsuit, from what I understand.

Who really knows Barry Amos anyway? He does not live in Tyrone but Peachtree City - why would Tyrone residents want a non-resident running their town? Someone told me Barry was married, but I have seen him several times hand in hand with Valerie.....what's going on there? Also, does anyone know who gave the Town of Tyrone an easement over on Palmetto Road in exchange for special spot zoning treatment? - that is illegal!! A few more questions: Where is Burt Clark? He seems to have stepped into the shadows after threatening to build metal buildings on the Palmetto Road property if he did not get his zoning......Where are you Burt, running scared?

More importantly - we are Georgians! Our heritage is steeped in protecting private property rights from unreasonable governmental intrusion (taken from the aforementioned lawsuit). We don't allow ourselves to be run over in the way Barry and his posse are doing. What is wrong with everybody? Come on and get rid of Barry Amos- let's use our power as the people for whom our government was built....you know - by the people, for the people and of the people. Someone needs to tell Barry about this because he thinks he can do anything he wants. Guess what Barry - you can't!!

There have been several more lawsuits filed since March - check out the records in the Fayette County Superior Court records room...... What is it going to take to get Barry out of office?? HELLO???? I sure am glad that there is an election coming up because the Mayor is the ultimate responsible party and she has not done her job. Mayor Lee has allowed Barry Amos to run all over private property owners in Tyrone. Why, one might wonder, would she allow such to happen??? Could it be that she is involved in some sort of conspiracy aimed at taking private property for private redevelopment?? Just a thought!

No I am not Timmy Tim - just goes to show how many people dislike Barry Amos!

ShameonTyrone is correct! The town is leaving itself open to lawsuits, and more importantly, lives may be lost due to the lack of another exit. Sometime in 2006 (exact date unknown) the tracks were torn up by a truck crossing the railroad tracks restricting access/egress to Shamrock Industrial Park. Again, this Sunday, the entrance to the park was closed for maintenance, causing those working that day (Yes, some do work on Sundays) to either cancel their work or to find alternate ways to and from their work/home. And again, last night, another truck ripped up track causing a long delay (7 hours?) in either entering or leaving this area. The Tyrone Alliance has repeatedly warned of these situations and has notified Tyrone's Mayor and Council. Ref: the following that was presented to Council on 3/15/07.
"3/15/2007 Update: Ref: Tyrone Town Mgr's letter to Mayor & Council, Subj: TNA Item # 1, dated 2/28/07. While we have empathy for the plight of the Mr. Guthrie as described in Mr. Amos's letter, we feel that holding Mr. Guthrie and Shamrock Industrial Park hostage may not be in Tyrone's best interest. By restricting further development, the safety issues that may affect hundreds of people working there, because of their inability to exist safely, continues. And, the additional costs to these businesses, because of delays entering or leaving the area, is adding costs for many of the businesses operating in Shamrock Industrial Park. It is our contention that the purpose of government is to serve and protect the citizens within their purview. In addition, restricting further development thwarts future tax collections from entities not selecting Tyrone as a business location. We are not sure how the insurance company insuring Tyrone would look upon this situation and, or if, Tyrone would be held partially liable for any personal injury or property destruction occurs due to the inability of emergency service to respond in a timely manner. Tax payers of Tyrone would like to know."
Tyrone's spending money ($1.5 million on Handley field) on recreation, thousands of dollars on a library in bids over projections, lack of planning for the increased cost of maintaining the library, a $487,000 shortfall in the budget, Triangle Park, etc. is going to cost the Tyrone citizens a large tax increase. A viable plan to develop this second entrance/exit needs to be put high on the Town's agenda. This, in turn, will help build our industrial/commercial base in Shamrock Industrial Park.

Yeah, I drove by there recently and the thought that ran through my mind was from the Joni Mitchell song, "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot" lalala..... Seriously, that is one ugly piece of property-I wouldn't call it a park.

No dog in this fight but I agree, that park is butt ugly. Did those landing lights come from an airport salvage store, or off the wreckage of an alien UFO? A few pink flamingos and the look will be complete! Beam me up Scottie!

One guy driving a firetruck means nothing! He may be taking it somewhere for repair. He may be going to aid at a fire with ten other guys in other vehicles. A hundred reasons.
All this gibber jabber about how many in a truck and how many respond is coming from the fact that the general public doesn't understand how the department staffs the stations and how they respond to a fire or car wreck, etc.
Why don't we understand? We are usually only given PART of the facts when we ask! You have to ask each specific question for an answer.
I noticed one explanation the other day as: a certain "division" of the department (I think this was police) has so many people doing such and such. (They have numerous divisions)
(What people need to know in order to provide more or better support is: what does everyone do, and how many, in any given circumstance?
None of this information is life threatening!
If there are 75 people on the payroll (warts and all), tell us what all 75 do, say on Monday, when there is a call to a fire. How many are off work? How many ae on vacation, How many are sick, how many occupy a desk, how many occupy a phone, how many do filing, how many mop the floor and clean the coffee pot,(it has to be done) how many are senior officers; and then tell us about Tuesday, etc. We aren't stupid. We have a right to know, and will understand the facts.
Now I expect to hear how some of us hate cops and firemen, but all I want to do is pay them 40% more and expect more. They deserve it and want it.

I didn't even see your posting before I submitted mine.If the problem is with the fire chief's in the city, then maybe we need new fire chief's that will bring our fire department's staffing's up to par.I am really concerned that other small cities in Georgia have more than two people on a fire truck.Fayetteville seems to be growing at such a fast pace,and their are so many people from other counties always in our town.Can anyone tell me why there is only one person on Fayetteville's ladder truck?It just seems like a waste to have such a large and probably expensive truck with only one person on it, and how many people does it actually take to operate it?I would like to know more about the staffing of our county fire department's, if anyone is listening please reply!

You know "burning", that average citizens do care about having fire and police at their house in minutes after they call. But in reality, few really ever call. They take it for granted that if they ever have to call, help is on the way. Just a fact of life. But with elected officals, that is a different story. They see the need but don't have the guts to raise taxes to protect citizens with fire and police. They are banking on being lucky every time something happens. Then one day it all goes wrong. I dead fireman or police officer, a citizen raped in their own house because their city did not have enough police to patrol. A house that burns to the ground and children die because the fire department did not have enough manpower to fight the fire. And then you will see all of them standing in front of the funeral telling citizens how much of a hero the dead fireman or the police officer was.

I read many times in this paper when a Fire Chief or Police Chief stands up and tells elected officals that they need help. When they are turned down very few from the public ever says a word. The time to pay for elected officals rides on every fire and police call these fine man and woman ride day in and day out.

Next time you see a police or fire funeral on TV, just think how that will look in Fayette County one day. I want you to see the wife or husband of the dead fire or police officer standing there holding their childrens hands. We do take them for granted but not as much as the elected officals that continue to treat them like second class citizens.

Take a second out of your day when you see a police of fire officer, and thank them for all they do and for putting their life on the line for a salary that you or I would not work for. Then write your elected officals and demand they receive better pay and the manpower they need.

The chiefs both police and fire, and the sheriff, beg for more personnel at council and commision meetings, and they are turned down regularly.

We won't get more emergency personnel, until someone on one of the coucil or commision has a serious emergency. When it is their home or their families involved they will see how important these people are to all of us. Until they have a tragedy of their own they won't care.
But the same goes for all of the citizns who cry about tax increases......everyone wants more service, but nobody wants to pay for it. Until that attitude changes this will stay the same.
There is no free lunch in life and you get what you pay for: if you only pay for one guy on a firetruck or only 3 cops patrolling that's all you will get. Don't pay for a used ford escort and expect to get a mercedes, it won't happen.

To the best of my knowledge it's commonplace to assess the crime/call rate for any public safety agency and ask for increases in manpower accordingly. However, the short and bitter answer to the lack of manpower is that most governments will spend more to appease the general population with saying that it's a brief influx of crime that will go away, or a rare time where there are a lot of medical/fire calls. They do this rather than treat the wound which eventually becomes cancerous and spreads throughout the community. Please don't blame the chiefs unless you have firsthand knowledge that they have not requested manpower, rather blame those in the position to allow the hiring of additional personnel that refuse to do so. They would rather save money by having the same number of personnel handle twice the call volume, and thereby putting the citizens at risk, than to acknowledge that they need more people and would have to raise taxes. They view raising taxes as a sign of weakness in most cases instead of viewing it rationally and realizing that it's a necessity for any community with the exponential growth that Fayette County has experienced over the past ten years. I hope this helps to explain the problems instead of fueling the fire of resentment toward our public safety personnel.

The true horror of this world is not the criminal minds that pursue vile intent. It's the apathetic view by those who stand idly by and point fingers without the will and courage to act.

How many people knew about this and kept it under wraps to protect one of the "in people" ??? This happened a month ago. How many local cops and sheriff's deputies knew about this raid? You know that The Citizen would have run the story, just like they do with all these people, if they had known. Look for the dwarf lawyer to say "he's under a lot of stress and he is well respected in the community" and get him a slap on the wrist. Give this guy credit-- he was smart enough not to do this in PTC.

What if a Town Manager is ticketed for drunkeness in public, splashing alcohol around----not much happens----job safe.
What happens when a female astronaut tries to kill another woman by stalking her like a tigress? Not much, she is shuttled around like someone more important, not much will happen.
What happens when a woman kills her five children by drowning them one at a time in a bathtub? Not much, she is a mixed up female, it's ok. Treat her awhile.
What happens when a pastor's wife shoots him with a shotgun and runs? Not much: see article just above.
What happens when a congressman takes advantage of pages homosexually and verbally in congress? Not much, he goes to rehab.
What happens to a Pastor in a huge church who gets cured of homosexuality in three weeks? Not much, he is a pastor.
This could go on forever, but just substitue:'"Jose" was caught today grabbing viciously, a loaf of bread at Bull Connors general store. He was run down by a pickup truck and jailed. He will get 40 years and no probation. They haven't fed him yet because he doesn't know how to ask for food.

EyeonFayette, if it is Valerie Fowler's husband that would explain why she can't seem to locate any agenda items to have a council meeting. Looks like her house was searched, seems to me she would have known this was going on in her own home. I would love to see what else the Feds found in her house. I bet Barney is scared.

I think everyone will start showing up for the town council/planning meeting of Tyrone just to see what is going on...if you live in a glass house you shouldn't throw rocks at the citizens...and it seems someone through the years has emptied a rock quarry on them. The tired, poor and helpless, all have been treated with indifference, and calousness, you are never a good person till you help someone that can't help themselves, much less, has paid your salerie with their hard earned, meager taxes. I'm sorry for what happened, but it is in no way anyone in Tyrone's fault...nor should their be any simpathy...

You are a sad person. You know nothing about Mrs. Fowler and this horrible situation. It is one thing to poke fun at local politicians and complain announmously, but it is cowardly to say such things about someone in her situation. I guess your employer or your family knows you spend your day on the computer posting childish rants???? Do they? I have enough trouble trying to monitor what my kids are viewing on the internet and the things they can hide from me much less a grown man.

Yes I am sad Glomar, thanks for your concern. It is truly a sad day when children are exploited and are victims of a crime as it appears some were by William Fowler. You call it poking fun at politicians, but quite frankly I never knew Valerie Fowler was a politician. She very well could have been as she does talk out of both sides of her mouth. She chose the job in the public spot light. She is the one that through the years has placed the citizens of Tyrone on the hot seat and placed them in some of the positions they are and have been in. As far as my employer or family goes, I’ll keep an eye on them and don’t you worry yourself about that, seems to me that you have a hard enough time worrying about your own family.

Lets see. Did I say anything acout this not being horrible for children?....no I did not. Your article was not addressed to, or about, Bill Fowler or the horrible things he stands accused of doing. It was unfounded comments about Valeri Fowler. If you want to poke fun at her about how she does her job outside the context of what she is suffering through right now...that is fine. I have no problem with that. That is not what you did. You are a tasteless coward. It is that simple. Anyone can hide from their spouse what they are doing on the internet. I cannot believe I'm wasting my time responding to folks like you. I know Valerie Fowler as a person...not as a clerk. She does not deserve this kind of vicousness. Someone told me idiots like you were saying horrible things about her on this waste of time website. I'm gone...going to use my time more wisely and pray for Val and the victims.

Glomar, I truly don't think that Valerie Fowler has or is suffering over what her husband has been accused of doing. I don't feel sorry for her. If she was so concerned about her marriage and husband then I don't think she would have been spending so much time in the company of Barry Amos after work hours. That isn't gossip, that is fact. So, truth be told, yes, prayers need to be prayed, for the victims of William Fowler. Not Valerie Fowler. She is a grown woman and if she had been more concerned with what was going on in her home and/or husband, then she would have known what he was up to. I'm still not sure she didn't.

When I first read this, I thought it was too horrible to comment on, but beaumont didn't say anything wrong. There has been a lot of very important things lost, forgot, etc, just to name a few..vital input about the impact on the schools if an office park was build between them, another issue, a man got up at town hall and stated he had been after important doc from the town for over a year, and his final attempt was comming to the meeting n asking for them. I had a similar experience. This is not acceptable. You are trying to turn this around as to who is the victim here and that is also not acceptable. If you don't want it in the papers, don't do it.

when people were persistant about info they wanted, they were not treated very graciously

It seems that Tyrone's finest should have been looking closer to home for lawbreakers! Look what they...COULD... have caught...if...they hadn't been arresting 60 year old women for a blinker light being out! or chasing little boys through swamps for going to a pool in their own swim/tennis comunity! Looking back on it...I am glad my kid out ran the 300lb cop that wanted to put him in "juvie" as he put it...this is too funny for words!
