“How can we expect the Montgomery County School System to help kids become productive citizens when one of their board members is criticizing Altamaha EMC for not turning on his power yet? This is ridiculous.”
“Be careful to say all elected officials have not helped in the hurricane aftermath — not everyone uses their kindness as a photo opportunity.”
“You may think it is cute to toilet paper someone’s house and yard, but it is malicious, unkind and criminal. Not only is it costly, wasting resources and unsightly to the intended victim, but also to the neighbors who have to clean up their own yards of the trash that blows around. The offenders should have to clean up trash all over the county every day for a year and be denied the use of toilet paper — for any reason — for a year.”
“I first want to thank God for our safety. I want to thank God for every lineman, electric companies, firemen, deputies, policemen, GBI, game wardens, EMS, EMA, and anyone else that has done an amazing job trying to get us back to normal life. I know the hours are very long and very tiring, but a big thank you to all of you from the bottom of my heart.”
“I was heading east on 280 today, and the first set of solar panels, I believe it’s LPL Solar, are blinding as you drive by. Can’t they put up some sort of barrier to protect drivers on the road?”
“It would be nice if someone would come out and fix the potholes and dips in the road on McAllister and Miracle Drive.”
“I agree about the water bills in Vidalia, over $53 for 1 month. When you are a single senior citizen and you live alone, it’s outrageous especially if you live on Social Security only. I don’t wash many loads of clothes or do many dishes. My hot water has been brown and rusty. There needs to be some adjustments made.”
“The US Postal Service has not gotten any better. On October 1, I received my July 31 edition of The Advance. The postal service needs to be improved, the Postmaster General needs to be replaced.”
“I’m a Christian. This storm has showed the real Christians, the real people that’s good samaritans from the fakes. I don’t like fakes and I know God don’t. He don’t care what church you go to, he don’t want you worshipping the church or the pretty boy pastors. He wants you to worship Him.”
“It’s been over 9 days since the storm hit. Where is FEMA?”
“I took my 91-yearold mother over to Mt. Vernon to get some much needed supplies and I was so embarrassed that a candidate would be politicking in the line. There’s a time and place for everything and in the time of a crisis, do not be politicking and having signs up, and find Jesus.”
“Some of my Christian friends say they cannot vote for someone who is a convicted felon (Trump). If they don’t believe that governments falsely convict political enemies, do they believe that Jesus was convicted fairly? Why didn’t God remove David, the King of the Jews and an admitted murderer, from office? Perhaps they should just consider the issues and who will be best for the country and leave personal judgments to God.”
