mskitty - I think it was a joke between Sally and Mr. Swayze. Calm down.

There is an expression for being handed a bunch of money and spending it immediately, then being broke again....can't quite place it.

It will continue to get worse and worse. There is a segment of society that wears ignorance as a "badge of honor", and they refuse to learn. The 'gubment' will, rather than push the young to succeed, just continue to lower the standards to a point where "somewhat literate" will earn them a diploma.
Many parents push their children, they want them to achieve more than they did. They know the benefit of education.
Without and education, you better have one hell of a jump shot, or some serious skills with a microphone, which very few have, regardless of what they think.

"Natchez is and has always been a kind of separate and apart place from the rest of Mississippi...and well, it's cliquish. Outsiders never really understand the chemistry that's been in place for hundreds of years. They see the face we put on, the southern drawl dripping, friendly concierge persona, but our cliques are closed. We will share a bit of our hospitality with outsiders, but we will not let them."
Wow, Mojo - Don't know if I have seen a more accurate description of Natchez. Well said.

From the AP
"In a chilling forecast, the White House is predicting a 10-year federal deficit of $9 trillion — more than the sum of all previous deficits since America's founding. And it says by the next decade's end the national debt will equal three-quarters of the entire U.S. economy."
That is your government at work. Do we really want to hand them healthcare? It is 1/6th of the economy. We will be a third world country at this rate.
I am all for paying my taxes, but enough is enough. Every time I see someone hanging out at an old auto shop at 8am drinking a 40oz on a Tuesday I think of how my tax dollars help "those in need."
Does healthcare need reform....yes. Is handing it over to the government the answer...no. This is the FIRST proposal, and we, as a country cannot afford the first proposal. Try again.

Double011 -
Its folks like you that make this a difficult place to live sometimes. You go onto a public forum, and basically try to make yourself sound important by spreading rumors, and your super-duper top secret 'personal information.' How is an appraisal "so called." I mean really? I would imagine that the top of the sheet says "appraisal" not "so called appraisal." And your little "some of the employess there believe He is hiding something" comment is ridiculous. Did you obtain this knowledge through an investigative report, or an independent survey of Stine empoyees?
I personally like the store. If Stine is "hurting severly" I hope things turn around. As a Do-it-yourself type of guy, I shop there all the time. Its one of the few new, nice, clean stores that keeps an abundant inventory on hand. I actually frequent all of the hardware stores, but your attack on Stine is very questionable.
If Mr. Stine wants to protest is assessment, that is his right. I personally would protest if I didn't agree with the tax assessment put forth by the father of my direct competitor. Wouldn't you?
Your little "ha ha" at the end of your post shows that you have a personal vendetta or something against Stine, and in my opinion, throws away any credibility you had at the beginning of your post.
And its Stine...not Stines. Do you still shop at Wal-Marts?

2 trees fall on cars and its ARMAGEDDON! C'mon folks, this isnt a daily thing....it was 2 trees. The chances of a tree falling on your car while you are driving are astronomical. You are probably more likely to be struck by lightning.
The article yesterday claims the city is broke, yet we all want to spend money cutting down hundreds of trees?

firered, they sit in front of Bigscums until they close because no one walks in the the skank pit that is Dimples until after everything else closes. The rednecks don't know when to quit. So they go to your dive to continue drinking heavily and hopefully impress their fat redneck underdressed girlfriends by fighting some other equally sloshed 'neck. The cops do sit out in front of Dimples when everything else closes. Obviously you had several police officers and atleast one deputy there to take punches this weekend.
The punks who got the beatdown by the police this weekend deserved it. Doesnt matter if the officer trying to arrest him was right or wrong, you sort that out at the station. NEVER put your hands on an officer, regardless of the amount of liquid courage that Dimples served you. Nice job to all of Natchez law enforcement. Bet the punks don't touch you next time!

Geez, what kind of contractor built this thing in the 70's? Did they really plan on it lasting only 40 years? There are working prisons all over the place that are older than this. Heck, my house is older than this prison.
Did they never EVER do any preventative maintenance? Looks like Alcatraz. Are we sure this prison wasnt built back in the 30's?
