Big Thanks Go Out To Home Depot And Their Employees

If you happen to be around the historic Giles County Courthouse or, even better, intentionally go there and  take a look at the newly painted benches.

Home Depot sponsored and provided all the materials while many of their employees volunteered their time and energy to paint them. This was all done without any publicity or cost to the county.

Thanks Home Depot and the employees who made this project happen.

Thanks Home Depot! You have been a blessing in Giles County! We need more businesses here in our county! Maybe we should start a committee that tries to promote Giles County as a business friendly county!

Wasn't that part of the $400,000 downtown revitalization program the city council thought was needed over parking? Thanks to Home depot but why does the city council not address the parking problem downtown. It does not matter how nice a place looks if it is not functional it will stay dilapidated.

If painting of the benches around the courthouse was part of the city's revitalization program, why was it done on county property, or is the revlitalization a joint city and county project?

Painting the benches was not part of the downtown revitalization project -buying new ones to place around the square is. That way, there will be more than one place to sit and enjoy the town.

Where are the benches to be placed? Have the spots already been chosen?

What about a new thread discussing the Giles County School Board and their decision regarding the school calendar next year?

What is wrong with the school calender for next year?
Might as well talk about it on this thread, want be the first time a thread was changed to discuss something different.

I started to post this on the thread about the school calendar but decided I wouldn't fall for cg's try at changing the thread about him.

To Monday, December 16, 2013 6:23:00 PM on the school calender thread.

You need to get over your feelings about WAB. He said and in another post someone asked for this thread.
What happen to the person that was going to tell who you are?

The blog is for discussion no matter what it's about.

I never did believe CG was the Christian he claimed to be. Notice his post on the thread before this.
I hope Barrett deletes that post then he will bitch about being deleted.

What about a discussion on what Cracker Barrel has done for Duck Dynasty? How many of us will continue to do business with them?

9:06 Done for or done against? I thought they still sold things that the money went to Duck Dynasty.

Sounds like someone trying to be cute.

Cracker Barrel has reversed it's position and apologized for offending the many partons of their stores by removing the Duck Dynasty merchandise. They have returned the merchandise to their shelves.

Anybody see the "Reverend" Jesse Jackson's comments about Phil Robertson? He is so insignificant that he grasps at straws to gain any amount of attention. Looks like he could make better use of his time by visiting his convict son instead of trying to make anything he can a racial issue. I wonder where the "Reverend"
Sharpton stands on this?

Oh cg, why must you carry on so? I saw where someone said they would post your identity, but it didn't stop your tired, contrary posts for even a day. Stop trying to act like it's not you posting;your style could be identified by a blind man.

What's wrong with you? I have no idea who or what you are referring to. Do you believe in free speech? Do you think people should have a right to their own opinions without having to keep them to themselves or without being threatened if they share them?

You are responsible for your speech. A shield of anonymous does not protect you when you choose to defame, threaten and falsely accuse citizens of actions proven to be lies. Anonymous provides no legal protection.

That is why every one went off on the enabler/cg. You can not lie and hide like a coward behind anonymous in order to defame people by name and expect to go about free from responsibility from your statements.

Tap him over the head with a ball bat (I'd use one I didn't need anymore as it is sure to suffer some damage ) and toss him in the trunk. Problem solved.
