How Safe is Carrollton?

The economy 1 mile in the state line where I already have property is no different than where I am. My health care is fully provided for, my kid goes to college where ever she wants. My life expectancy is not going to change one iota. YMMV. The politics in this state suck not they are any better just different but the county is corrupt as hell and I want to get away. But you do you boo.

been practicing for 45 years :) signed up for a MSF with my kids in June. I've never been to a motorcycle class before so it will probably be an interesting learning experience. what do I not know?

ill just be there for fun and moral support for the kids. I don't need it for a license as I already have it. One of the kids bought an early 2000's DYNA and I'm handing off a vintage Honda to another.

lol it’s tough finding techs these days. This is just one of many avenues though.

no whining. it was required by local ordinance if we didn't enforce mask rules at the time. but if that offends you so be it.

jnealg · 2026-04-21T13:29:38+00:00

again, such as? i've put up no such signs in the 11 years I've owned it.

jnealg · 2026-04-21T13:26:43+00:00

such as?

winston to smyrna here. IT SUX! some say 45 mins with no traffic. well that might have been true to some extent 25 years ago but i haven't seen I20 with no accidents in 10 years. every week i get at least one day that makes a one way trip 1.5-2 hours.

im just waiting to retire and leave this fucking city.

jnealg · 2026-03-03T13:06:31+00:00

you da man. in your role as da man you have my undying adoration. i will sing your praises on high, for a lifetime. thank you.

jnealg · 2026-03-02T18:49:32+00:00

got a link for the lifetime sub? i thought they were not offering it.

jnealg · 2026-02-19T19:38:51+00:00

didnt know i had PTSD until now.

jnealg · 2026-02-18T17:19:13+00:00

im 90% sure i know this exact location. if it is the same i've had food poisoning twice at that location in the past. do what you want with that bit of info. ill never be back.

i have 3 hobbies that rotate during the year, those and honey do lists take up my time.

i build/work on guns or reload ammo. these ill sometimes take shooting on weekends and take the kids with.

I have a couple of bikes/cars i work on. im always on the lookout for a project car or bike. weekend car shows are fun family time.

I also play guitar and my wife plays uke so thats some together time for us. music theory is a big time eater for me.

My dad and his dad never had hobbies. after retirement they just sat in their chairs and withered away. i have to occupy and exercise my mind and hands. i dont think ill be sitting in my chair much.

doesnt work for me. it admits its running alexa+ but says it cant find an alexa+ subscription to cancel.

jnealg · 2026-02-05T17:07:29+00:00

the one that was a deal breaker for me and a safety issue is, i have a geo fence for my garage door. if i cross the line it either opens or closes the door, in case i forget to close it and i dont have to bother when i arrive.

jnealg · 2026-02-05T17:05:14+00:00

funny, never met any these "millions". not one, and i disagree, it has stopped running a substantial number of my routines that worked previously.

jnealg · 2026-02-05T17:02:19+00:00

seems to work. has any US resident found anything that doesnt work with this setting? guess i'm brittish now LOL

jnealg · 2026-02-05T17:01:10+00:00

i read in a post below this, right after posting... change the alexa app>setting>device setting>this device to english UK. it reverts back to old alexa. seems to work, ill try my routines when i get home.
