Dear Ms. Magnolia, I’m a 21-year-old who can’t believe my household rules upset my friend who got kicked out of her apartment and needed a place to stay. / rent a two- bedroom apartment and told her she could stay in the extra room without paying rent unless she stayed longer than a month. She should just buy her own food. Since I lived with a roommate in college, / know that it is important to set some ground rules for getting along when you live with someone else. I men tioned that there are a few things that I am particular about: clean up after yourself, especially in the living room, the kitchen and the bathroom; let me know ahead of time if you are inviting anyone over; turn off the lights in unoc cupied rooms; and keep noise down. She seemed annoyed and said / was acting just like her mother, and / was not a good fiend so she would just stay with someone else. / thought my rules were simple and just common good manners for staying at someone else’s house. Roommate Dear Roommate, You are obviously an intelligent person and have just dodged a bullet. If a few social rules can end a friend ship, it obviously wasn’t much of a friendship. I hope you have the same common sense when she comes back for another favor - which she proba bly will. BTW: Her reaction probably gives some indication as to why she was kicked out of her former apart ment. If you have a question for Ms. Magnolia, please mail it to P.O. Box 669, Vidalia, GA 30475, or e-mail to msmagnoliaadvance@yahoo.com. Your Mind ONLINE Got a complaint? Got a compliment? Call Your Mind On Line at 537-6397 and let us know what's on your mind.

They are happily throwing around the money they grab from your paycheck every week before you even see it." “Here’s a solution to the border prob lem. Put all illegal aliens on busses and planes and send them to Washington, DC, and put them off at the Capitol, the White House, and all the expensive homes of the members of Congress." “Since Covid isn’t doing the job, our in truders from the southern border should be bringing in enough germs to get some other really in teresting diseases started soon." “Delta variant - Why are we not see ing DAILY DEATH COUNTS as with Co vid 19? BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO FEW DEATHS TO SCARE PEOPLE. So they talk about CASES, without even symptoms. Cases are those who tested false positive or who show positive because they have already had the shots or covid. So go along with it if you like things this way." “Quote from Juras sic Park (1993 film) - applies to Covid vi rus? Ian Malcolm: Don't you see the danger, John, inher ent in what you're doing here? Genetic power is the most awesome force the planet's ever seen, but you wield it like a kid that's found his dad's gun." “Our government “leaders” like all the gun violence going on around the coun try. It will give them an excuse to take guns away from law- abiding citizens. Just remember, as the Founding Fathers feared, then the only ones with guns will be criminals and the government (but I re peat myself)." “Georgia’s urban areas, having the most population, have the most repre sentatives and can outvote representa tives for rural needs. Rural area popula tions should be counted at a greater percentage per rural citizen." “What a beautiful site! I just came by Altama Gallery with the lights on, and my hat is off to Harry Harper and crew for doing a wonderful job on that building. It looks so good, thank you, Harry." “My husband and I are both disabled and we wish to say thank you to every one who has been so quick to hold the door or help us with our purchases. God bless each and everyone." “I think our presi dent is stupid. He is trying to bribe people by giving them money to get the shot. He's spending our taxpayer money. That is the stupidest thing I ever heard." “It’s no wonder Vi dalia is running ram pant with COVID when it publishes sto ries like last week's ar ticle titled "The Left is Desperate for COVID Restrictions to Con tinue." The article spewed dangerous political misinforma tion about both the lifesaving vaccine and COVID itself. How many more of our neighbors have to die before people take COVID seriously?" “Makes better sense to pick up the trash on the side of the road rather than run over it with the lawn mower and chop it in a million pieces. Don't you think?" “Does anyone on Montgomery Street in Vidalia know how to park?" “This is for the per son who said not to blame what's his name for the gas prices. I don't know who else we should blame for the gas prices, the grocery prices, and every thing else going up. Now I know how he got elected because people sure don't pay attention to what's being said to them. You won him, now live him. Thank you." VOF continued from page 1A Chairman, since we had to cancel the 2020 festival when Brice was supposed to perform. Tim contin ued to communicate with Brice’s camp to insure that we were able to get Lee here next year.” Since 2020, Brice has released another album, Hey World, and has had two singles make num ber one. It was also just announced that his next single, “Farmer,” will de but at the end of August at the Farm Progress Show 2021. Woodruff shared, “It’s going to be a huge year for the festival with Lee Brice in concert and having the Air Show again in 2022 with the Blue Angels.” He said, with two extra special events, the schedule for Friday and Saturday nights will be reversed and times ad justed to alleviate traffic and overlap with the air show. “The concert will be Friday night at the Vi dalia Regional Airport so we have enough room for the crowd we’re expect ing. The Street Dance will move to Saturday night and will be at the airport to utilize the concert stage and lighting.” Ticket information and additional details will be released on the festival website, VidaliaOnion- Festival.com. “You couldn’t find anyone more fitting to perform here in Vidalia,” Tim Jones enthused. In a press release about “Farmer” Brice not ed, “This new song is all about elevating the farm ing profession by painting a picture of the hardwork ing individuals and whole families, even generations of families, who dedicate so much of their time, re sources, energy and lives providing for us all. This song is a celebration of the tireless and often un acknowledged work that goes into keeping families across America fed.” When Brice isn't sell ing out arenas, writing and recording songs, or building new brands like American Born whiskey, you'll find the family man with his wife, Sara, two young boys, and daugh ter. Meanwhile, with more than 2.4 billion on-demand streams, and over 3.3 billion spins on Pandora, Brice continues to enjoy massive success at country radio, digital streaming services, and on the road. His current single “Memory I Don’t Mess With,” was his top most added radio single upon its debut. He also reached #1 at Country Radio with “One of Them Girls,” which was recently nominated in the category “Coun try Song of the Year” at the 2021 Billboard Mu sic Awards. This recogni tion follows his #1 single alongside Carly Pearce, “I Hope You’re Happy Now,” which took home the awards for “Musical Event of the Year” and “Single of the Year” at the 56th ACM Awards. Brice was also nomi nated for his hit #1 song “Rumor” for “Single of the Year” at the 55th An nual ACM Awards. One of the most-played coun try artists of all time on Pandora, he is a member of the company's "Bil lionaires Club,” becoming only the second country artist behind Keith Urban to receive the Pandora Bil lionaire plaque. He is also a GRAM MY nominee, a CMA and ACM award winner, and he's taken eight radio singles to number one, in cluding: "A Woman Like You," "Hard To Love," "I Drive Your Truck," "I Don’t Dance," "Drinking Class," "Rumor," “I Hope You’re Happy Now,” and “One of Them Girls.” Garth Brooks, Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney and others have recorded Brice’s songs, and he's performed on numer ous TV shows, including NBC's “Today,” ABC's “The Bachelor,” NBC's “The Voice” and FOX's “Miss USA 2018.” He also performed as part of the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popu lar Song honoring Garth Brooks, which aired on PBS March of 2020.
