OH YES!!! The rolling hills of Toledo! Ski mecca of the world! In case you haven't noticed, Georgia is not flat as a pancake (or nearly as ugly as Ohio). If we're such bad drivers, why not get your tush back in your (probably rusted out/Bondo) car & move back to Toledo!

Let's pray for Cllepto. He either has a bad attitude in general, had a particular bad moment when he posted his comment, or he just wants the attention he is getting. GOD knows Cllepto's heart and I am sure he is sorry for what he said. We need to try to not judge him and vice-versa.

By the way, my husband works in the same organization as the gentleman that died. My husband spoke with him on Sunday. Needless to say my husband is shook up. My husband said he knew JESUS so it is truly a celebration.

Alot of words lost on one persons comment who may even be black commenting on you people who are white. But does it matter? His comment shows his lack of care for people, all people. The story is sad and what a loss. It can happen to anyone from anywhere of any race. My condolences for the family and may the person who wrote the first comment learn compassion. I am sure he was not even driving in this weather. No one is exempt from an accident it can happen to the best of drivers.

I was talking about you people not learning to drive period. School closings, business closings because some snow actually stuck to the ground? A little black ice and you morons pretend you have lost all ability to drive. I do feel sympathy for the family, but I feel nothing for idiots that can not drive because of 1cm of snow dropped. SAD SAD SAD.
As for the color thing, come on now. They are to busy driving with their heads in the corner of their gd door to even see what is going on.
Please leave Georgia, you are not wanted here!!! Thanks! I love the fact that they close everything and we get a free day, so don't go messing up for everybody else!! Plus, they dont have the equipment down here to take care of the roads so that we can drive safely on icey roads and such. SO SHUT THE H E L L UP!! Or we down here in jaw-ja gonna give you an old fashioned hill billy whoopin!!

Wrong. If you drive slow enough and you have the proper tires you can drive on ice. How do you think people in Michigan get around 3 months out of the year?

And the vehicle was controlled by a person. The sad tragedy is the person behind the wheel wasn't skilled enough to operate the vehicle and it cost them their lives. The article says "the vehicle lost control." And what was the driver doing then? People need to realize to take responsibility for their own actions and drive according to their skill level.

Color has nothing to do with the heart-wretching tradedy that happened in Haralson county last night. An entire family was killed due to an unexpected patch of ice. The family was just trying to get home. You could be more respectful.

I lived in Toledo for 30 years, yes I have more experience driving in snow and icy weather then what a person from Georgia does. Even those of us who have spent a significant portion of our lives up North make mistakes driving in slippery conditions. Is that a race thing?

Mistakes happen, several people lost their lives, what a terrible tragedy. How does that relate to Georgia residents being crazy? How does that relate to race? What your comments do show is how callous you are and people like you help to give us Northerners bad names.

How heartless! May God show you the error of your ways and give you the necessary guidance required for change! By the way; do the name you posted for yourself say anything about you?

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Sagittarius

Mercury turning retrograde in your house of finances carries a rather unseasonal message, because it's telling you to pay attention to your finances over the next few weeks. If you already know that you've overspent this month, you won't need to be told that a few economies are just around the corner. Get the facts straight and pay attention to the small print. You may also have to make some adjustments to an intimate relationship so it can move into another phase.
