E-mail topic: Improper Motorcycle Parking?
A tax assessor employee has parked their motorcycle on the lawn of the courthouse for several months now. Is this an acceptable or appropriate parking place? Why haven't citations been issued by law enforcement officers who are at or within sight of the violation daily? Will the County Executive, who is in charge of the courthouse, continue to allow this situation to exist?

Simply brilliant! Being facetious again?
I guess when you think you run the
courthouse, you can park anywhere
you want.
I went to da corthouse to watch da cort peoples git put in da jailhouse. They was so many peoples their I didn't have no place to park. I looked around an seen this hog tide up by da front door so I jus pulled up their an tied my mule next to that hog an went on inside. When I comed out they was a man there said I can't put my mule on da corthouse yard that it was only fer hogs and preten hogs an lil bitty pooter hogs. I didnt say nuthin cause he worked in da corthouse so he must of been right I jus got on my mule an went hom.
O I furgot what I was a gonna say about when I went to da corthouse.
I wus gonna ask if in you put up one of them canopays wood you pleze put it in a place so Ruth could have some shade when I come to da corthouse next time. thanks
Who owns the motorcycle?
I don't know who owns the motercycle or the scooter but whenever they are parked there they are always by the tax office.
I heard that part of the courtyard is supose to be paved to add more parking, is it true? Its a big detraction to the courthouse for anything to be on the grounds. the untrimed grass and trees are bad enough.
Isn't there ever anything positive about Giles County? Why do we always have to deal with the negative? This is a wonderful place to live and raise kids.

Of course there are many things that are good and right about the county. The point is to expose the wrongs and right them so everything is better. Why didn't you write anything specific on a positive note?
Why should I have to do that? We all know there are many good points about Giles County. I was simply saying we ought to think on those things instead of continually harping on and whining about things we see as wrong and negative.
It was your idea so it seemed natuaral that you would want to get the ball rollin. Without anything positive from you doesn't that make you as much a contributor to the negative as you claim others are? People talk about what they are interested in and most of the time it will be about the problems they are facing. It ain't about being negative it's about what's of interest that needs attention and change.
Right. And some people who continue to point out negatives have all the answers. List one thing positive about the county. How about it? Wouldn't that be cathartic?
Dear stillonapositivenote,
Giles County has one of the most beautiful courthouses in the state, the downtown is beautifully landscaped and I love living here. How is that to get a positive blog going?
Great!
The bike belongs to Wayne Stafford who works in the assessor's office.
wayne stafford is a very nice man.
So the courthouse yard should be a parking place for nice men in stead of the street like other people?
I was simply trying to keep the positive thing going, so please don’t try to make something out of my words that is not there!
It is not my business where the employees of the courthouse park their vehicles because I am not employed there, nor do I own the property where you say he parks his vehicle. I am not a county employee, so, that responsibility would be someone in charge of that area.
You have a nice day and I am sure you are a very lovely person!
it is such a nice day for a walk.
i hear birds chirping outside. that's a nice thing to hear this time of year.
My husband and I owned a local business here in Giles County and made a good living from that business. We were able to put our children through school and college and they have chosen to live, work and raise their children in Giles County. As you might guess that makes me one happy Grandmother, living in such a great county!
My Frend Charles wern't feelin to good so he went to da doctorman to make him feel better. When he had to wait a long long time he did not complain cause he wanted to be a happy person. When da doctorman finally talked to him Charles said he was ok cause he did not want the doctorman to thank he was a complainer and weren't so happy. Charles went home stil feelin bad but a smilin so big an happy an everbody else were happy cause Charles looked so happy. That nite Charles died and he were buried yesterday but he were stil a smilin an lookin happy he jus weren't a movin. Chuckles
Hey Chuckles,
I haven't enjoyed such a good laugh in a long time, priceless!! Maybe you could give us a daily laugh in the future, what do you think?
If you live in Giles Co you DO own the property of the courthouse. It does not belong to the County Executive or the Commissioners but to the citizens as a whole.
Okay, I live in Giles County, not the city, but where people park their vehicles is something I don’t pay attention to. If I were you, and it seems you do have a problem with this matter, I would simply approach the person/persons that are in charge of that area and present my position to them. There is certainly nothing I can do to help you as a reader of this blog! Have you tried this approach yet?
Chuckles this is for you,
I would take by the above post you made. That you have never lost anybody important in your life. Life and death is no laughing matter. I think your post above is in very bad taste.
GH
GH,
Get of Chuckles back!!!!!!!!!
GH I am sory that you don't lik me.
You or rong about me. I have lost a lot of my people an my frends. Sum got kilt in diferent places sum died cause they were old sum i prayed wood die cause they hurt so much from da cancer. Their ain't a day goes by that I don't thank about sumbody that done died. I guess da difernce in you an me is I keep thanking about what a great time we had before they died not how bad I feel after they died. I know livin an dieing is sereous beesness but them that is dead is dead an them that is alivin is still alive. Sumtimes peoples get all mixed up an them what is stil alive forget to keep alivin. Sumtime we even forgit about them other folks stil a live what loves us an needs us cause we are afraid we ain't doin right by the one that is dead. I got good memorys of them that is gone so they or always with me. I no they wood get mad at me if I jus pined my life away over mising them. I gues cause I no where I am a goin being dead ain't so scary.
I am sorry that I hurt yur feelins I don't mean to.
Chuckles,
I do not know if you are a man or a woman, and it does not realy matter, but i can not understand how you can type such mumble jumble. If you are going to talk about an adult problem, please speak as one.
I gues you wood be more happy if I rote more adult things like Captain
Obvious. Da reason I type da way I do is bcause this here keybord is dafective. When them Dell peoples sended it to me all da letters was messed up. Nun of da letters is like I lurned them in scul. To show you jus how bad it is da Q is da 1st letter. S comes next after da A. I thunk everbody noed it was A-B-C not A-S-D. Ifn you asked me all them cumputer peoples is kind of squirly.
I went to Buger King las week an they said I can't git no whappers cause da cumputer was down. I told them it were rite where it always were but the gurl said I didn't understand, da cumputer weren't workin an they couldnt cook no whappers. I jus left cause if they ar a cookin them whappers in da cumputer insteed of on da stove I didn't want none no way. So I jus went home an eated some potted meat an krackers.
Chuckles,
You are the reason I log on to this blog!!!!!!! You are so damn funny, but I a glad my Dell keyboard is in the right order because I would never figure it out!
I left a morning poem for you on another thread, the cleaned-up version, I might add.
Knock’em out Johnnnnn!!
Captain...
Your poem is untitled. Shall we attempt to guess its meaning?
way too deep for me and I was good at lit
There once was a man from Nantucket....
I guess no one thought that he may be trying to save a parking place for cars in the limited spaces around the courthouse. If he took up a parking spot I guess you would be yelling about him parking there all day.
Wherever you go you can see motorcycles parked in areas where cars can't park and yes it does save parking spaces for other. I guess the person who started this thread didn't think about how mad they would be if there was not a parking space close to the courthouse because they where all taken by motorcylces! This is also another unconstructive thread and nitpicking!
No, its not nitpicking. Stafford should not be parking on grass around the courthouse. While we're on the subject of parking, why are courthouse employees allowed to take the choice parking spots? Shouldn't they be parking away from the courthouse on side streets? Heard this used to be the rule. Is this another of Vanzant's new rules?
Oh, my goodness. If you want a good parking spot, get there early, and shut up.
I ride a bicycle, will it be OK to park it inside the courthouse since there are no bicycle racks anywhere around the square?
Why do the county employees think they should be privileged? They should be grateful they have good paying jobs, health insurance and all the vacation and retirement benefits, plus the other perks. Do they sometimes forget they are employed "at whim"? (All funded by citizens of Giles Co)

Ever heard the term Dumnber and Dumber. I do think you fit this term.
No, I'm 80 years old now so I haven't heard the term. I just need some car tags.
Anonymous if you gonna insult somebody you should at least no what the insult is. Just who has heard of "Dumnber and Dumber", maybe you meant "Dumb and Dumber" if so who really fits slur description better you the writer or the person you slung it at.
to "dumnber and dumber" i hope you feel about 1/2" tall right now because you made an a** of yourself!
where in the world is chuckles? we could use him right now!
My daughter just told me you had been screaming at me. I just thought you like to use capital letters. I’m sorry if I upset you I didn’t mean to.
My family bought me my computer and taught me to use it, thinking it would be a new activity for me.
I enjoy coming into town to do my business because it gives me an opportunity to see other people and visit Reeves Drug Store. It is just convenient for me to park close to the courthouse.
Now I know what the term Dumb and Dumber means and my daughter said, “I don’t fit that description.”
Well, it sure nuff looks like they ain't no problem with da parkin around da courthouse unless you got yourself a car that you gotta park. If in you folks thank you can make sense outta that anonmous person you'd have a easyer time milking a mouse. He jus don't lik nuthin but his self. My momma wood say that people lik him jus needed somebody to slap them silly, I thank his momma done did that to him the way he acts.
Great Chuckle, Like I said, we needed you back!!!
Wisht I a muttercykle! I'd cut a figger ate iny middul ofa gallerie ina crathoose
To concerned county citizen, if you would read the above post you would know who owns the motorcycle.
An investigation should get underway soon. The owner should be "exposed", don't you think?
