Caution with your emails folks

20 Upvotes

I work in cybersecurity for a local IT company, and we've been seeing a massive uptick in local businesses "clicking the link" in their email messages, resulting in them sending out more malicious links to everyone in their contacts.

Since our area's businesses tend to work with each othe and their customers pretty directly, I figures it was worth putting out a caution to the locals in hopes it helps someone dodge a bullet!

The emails are getting harder to spot, and the tools more sophisticated. Sadly, I'm expecting 2027 to get a LOT worse!

Its like he has made this sub his own personal running platform, half of his posts are just body building- the rest are him in photo ops, holding a baby, going to pride parade, whatever bandwagon he can jump on to get his shirtless pics put out there. Once confronted or questioned he then gets extremely defensive and belittles whomever it concerns. His posts and responses are loaded with emojis and unnecessary profanity.

I am very much a liberal,

but I would not want to be represented by someone like this and I hope other see through this fragile individuals guise. He does not seem like a good candidate for office, he doesn't seem like a good person to be around in general. I am tired of his spam all across this sub, I genuinely don't know if I'm alone in this. I can't wait for elections just so we don't have to see this pathetic song and dance anymore.

Well anyway, I'm sure I will now have to brace for the fallout from his goon squad, litany of emojis and profanity, while being called racist, or xenophobic, etc. Hope you all take to the polls and make the well adjusted decision for us to not have to keep seeing these posts.

County commissioners meeting

Anyone catch that sh*t show tonight? Granted I don’t live in the south side of town, but I do know people that work at Essentia. None of them complain about any health or breathing issues or the smell and they work there every day. From what I have read and heard, there are around 100 people that work there and none have reported adverse health issues. Someone explain it to me? Also, aren’t there like 15 chicken houses, a city wastewater treatment plant and a city dump in that area? Not to mention a solar panel manufacturer (which recently did a massive expansion), an industrial adhesive producer and other harsh chemical users in the same business park? These people are worried about a plant that makes chicken broth instead of worrying about the obvious producers of pollutants.

Making A YouTube Documentary on Keeslyn Roberts’ disappearance - seeking information

8 Upvotes

Hello,

I’m making a YouTube documentary covering the Keeslyn Roberts case. I’ve heard that there are rumors circulating locally about a connection to her disappearance and the Brackett Ridges. I’m very interested in hearing more - it would be a huge plus if you can corroborate any claims with even anecdotal evidence from an authority figure or someone who would have insider information.

While this won’t be the focus of the documentary, I think it would be interesting to include some local speculation in the end.

Feel free to message me.

Thank you.

Can anyone recommend someone in the area for my daughter's first haircut? She's 16 months old and really just needs her bangs trimmed and sides cleaned up a little, but I want someone who has experience with kids in case she freaks out.

Had the opportunity to go and tour one of the fire stations in whitfield County, now even though some of these stations are out of my district.

I was actually asked to come down and speak to the fire crew and one of the promises the team and I made to the community is we will go where we are needed even if we aren’t able to represent, you.

You never really know what someone’s going through and at the end of the day everyone deserves to be heard whether it’s worth listening to or not, and that is the humanity aspect of being a representative.

Politics Kasey scared, Didn’t show up.

Good Afternoon everyone!

This last Saturday American Legion, alongside the Women’s Voters League in Dalton hosted an amazing, vibrant and educational forum for both parties to attend and convey to the community their mission for Dalton.

And to no surprise, whispers and the talks of the town were true. The Republican Party’s Incumbents did not show up no representative from District 2, 4 or 6.

And it made me ponder a question why?

Why run for a seat or sit in it when you never come to the table to eat?

This position isn’t something forced upon you. It’s something you choose to do. So you were able to get out of the 6 debates with me Kasey that’s fine but whenever the veterans who fought and died for our right to have these campaigns or the woman who’s worked with their blood, sweat and tears to fight for the rights and educate the community by holding these forms, you completely and utterly disrespect them and disregard them by ignoring these hosted forums.

No letter, No public announcement, No conveying to the constituents in Whitfield County, City Dalton not a peep not a word.

I wanna make an open statement to the Republican Party. I’m sorry the incumbents our district do not care. I’m sorry the incumbent in our district created those bills and lastly I’m sorry that Kasey does not represent your true values in the Republican Party.

I could go back-and-forth with Kasey over this but it doesn’t matter we showed up and all I can ask you is in November especially October 16th with EARLY VOTING is show up.

The work has been done, and is still continuing

💗FCAS Senior Shelter Pup Looking for Her Happily Ever After💗

Thumbnail

21 Upvotes

Meet FCAS foster Amy! 💖 This 7yo, 60lb (looks smaller, she’s muscular!) shepherd mix girl is certified BFF material! 👯‍♀️ She’s been our easiest foster thus far and has been such a polite, happy houseguest. She’s incredibly affectionate, will lean in for hugs, and loves to stand and put her paws on your shoulders if you’re seated eye level with her. 🥹 She makes the cutest little grunting noises when she snuggles and her head tilt game is STRONG! 😆

She may technically be a senior (suspect she may be a bit younger), but she’s still got plenty of pep in her step! She’s super playful, loves fetch, and has a blast running around the yard and playing with our resident Shepsky. 🐾 She also settles quickly, sleeps through the night, LOVES to cuddle, and doesn’t show signs of separation anxiety (only short-lived protest whines and quickly gives up 😆). All in all, 10/10 good girl! 🥰

✅ Potty trained - no accidents! 🤞🏽
✅ Leash trained - pulls, but manageable
✅ Crate trained
✅ Non-destructive
✅ Dog friendly
✅ Excellent temperament
✅ Knows commands - sit, stay, shake (both paws)
✅ Good recall
✅ Treat/food motivated
✅ Non-reactive (treats, toys, food, etc)
✅ Easily handled
✅ Easy to bathe/dry/brush/trim nails
✅ Spayed
✅ HW negative

Amy’s kryptonite? Cats. 😩 She’s shown pretty strong prey drive with our senior kitty, so she would do best in a feline-free home. 🐈‍⬛

We also don’t know how she does with kids, but I imagine the only issue might be that she can get excited and could accidentally cause little children to topple over. 😅

She has an Embark DNA test in progress, so curious to see what her breed mix is…👀

Amy is currently being fostered in Kennesaw, GA and available for adoption through LifeLine Animal Project Fulton County Animal Services. Click the link below to schedule a meet & greet with her or feel free to message me! 👋🏽

🍂📚 SAVE THE DATES — FALL BREAK IS COMING!

Parents, go ahead and screenshot this one! 👀 We’ve got two different Fall Break schedules this year for Dalton Public Schools and Whitfield County Schools.

🔴 DALTON PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Students are out October 8, 9, 12 & 13
➡️ Students return Wednesday, October 14

🔵 WHITFIELD COUNTY SCHOOLS
Students are out October 12, 13 & 14
➡️ Students return Thursday, October 15

🍁 Different districts. Different dates. We figured we’d put them side-by-side in one place to hopefully save somebody from showing up to an empty school. 😂
