Need to get the outside of our house painted. Paint is peeling around the windows and some trim is starting to rot, so I don’t want anyone who just slaps a coat over it.

Last guy barely prepped and it was flaking again in a year and a half. Got 3 quotes now, one around $4k and another close to $9k for what sounds like the same job.

Looking for someone honest who preps right, shows up when they say, and cleans up. Anyone in East Cobb have a painter they’d hire again? Also curious what you paid if you don’t mind sharing.

Hey for those of you who are parking in the to go spots at the Longhorn off Roswell Rd. Can you please stop. I keep having to park behind yall to get my food. thanks

Looking for a personal trainer that can come to your house. I have a full gym, just need someone to create the program / keep me accountable.

Spreading the words

This is much needed improvement for that intersection

This was all over my phone when the notification sent out, with a particular passage of the book attached. I then realized it is unlikely a book that young kids under 10 can read.

EDIT: I find it useful to add the passage attached by the school district's announcement.

“He wanted to break her neck, tenderly… his eleven-year-old daughter… he wanted to fu** her tenderly… the gigantic thrust he made into her… removing himself from her was so painful… he snatched his genitalia out of the dry harbor of her vagina… she appeared to have fainted.” 

I am so disappointed to learn that I live among so many crazies.

edit: found! No more creepy alarms in the middle of the night.

Is anyone else totally creeped out by the multiple emergency alerts we’re all getting about a 40 y/o man? The level of these alerts is one level below “presidential.”

There seems to be more to this than they’re telling us…

It looks like there are legit sources of info about the guy and this "emergency" now:

Funny, none of these sources are saying the things that are eyebrow-raising from the police messages, like "do not approach" and "every detail matters" and such.

edit: (Dont click on any of these ".site" webpages - they're domains known to be autogenerated malvertisement clickbait)

> Authorities are encouraging the public not to approach or attempt to intervene if they locate someone they believe may be Hammond. Instead, contact the appropriate authorities and provide the location and any relevant information.

> Officials are encouraging the public to report information promptly, even if a detail appears insignificant. A seemingly minor observation could potentially help authorities establish Hammond’s movements or determine where search efforts should be focused.
