One Positive Thread Deserves Another!
Somewhat to my surprise, the thread on "good things about Giles County" has thus far not been contaminated by "negative" remarks. To see if lightning can strike twice in the same spot, I'm launching this thread, dedicated to things that are praiseworthy in general, in or outside of Giles County.
I'll start with a Giles County topic: the nice fellow who cuts my grass, Danny Bowen. Mr. Bowen works fast, does a great job, and has amazingly reasonable prices. And the low, low price he quotes you includes everything: he provides the mower, the gas, and even an assistant that runs a weedeater. I know it's a little late in the lawn care season, but, if you need your grass cut, Mr. Bowen is your man... call him at 207-8623, or by cellphone at 652-4169. You won't be sorry!
For those of you in the same "need to lose weight" boat that I am in, I'd like to recommend an online "all natural, free range" beef merchant: Ney's Big Sky. I strongly endorse their "95% lean hamburger" which costs a modest $3.50 per pound plus shipping. A quarter pound patty of this tasty, but extra lean, meat has only 140 calories, which makes it terrific for any weight loss plan. Throw in an 80 calorie high-fiber wheat bun, and a 30 calorie slice of fat free cheese, and you've got the equivalent of a McDonald's Quarter Pounder.... with only half the calories!
Not only does Ney's Big Sky sell the leanest ground beef I can find, they have truly good customer service. For instance, in my last order, I ordered a bunch of 95% lean hamburger in one pound tubes, but received instead 80% lean hamburger in quarter pound patties. So, where's the good service, you may ask? Simple: I notified Neys about their mistake, and they were quite apologetic, and immediately shipped out a replacement order. Plus, when I offered to mail back the 80% lean meat (which was useless for my diet) they insisted that I keep it, at no charge.
I like doing business with a company that follows the "customer comes first" rule. And it is a comfort to be able to eat lean meat that comes from cows that not only aren't shot full of questionable chemicals and hormones, but -- in a humanitarian manner -- are allowed to graze outdoors, rather than living their whole lives cooped up in smelly barns. So, if you need some beef, and want the best, I suggest you go to:

Last, but certainly not least, I'd like recommend an excellent blog put out by a fellow Middle-Tennessean, Byron Smith. Blogging as "Byron 1776," Mr. Smith has a great knack for taking a complicated economic or political theory, and explaining it quickly and understandably, while using everyday language. This is easier said than done, and so I salute "Byron 1776" not only for making the effort to lay a foundation for a better world, but for doing such a good job in the process. Looking for a surefire wealthbuilding strategy that involves Congress? Curious about how John McCain can beat Obama? Then read Byron's blog, and find out for yourself:

Note: I'm not getting paid a thin dime for any of the above recommendations. I just wanted to share my enthusiasms, and I encourage the rest of you to use this thread to do the same. Positive comments only, please!
