WhatSigh. is the point of going out with friends when you spend your time glued to your phone, laughing at some tweet, meme, responding to a text or email (the latter being quite old school, I know) or something that you may or may not end up sharing with your friends. And they too are deciding whether or not to share some tweet, meme or whatever with you. Because you know, don’t break the spell.
Bottom line - be polite, be aware of your surroundings, and decide why you really want a communication device if you don’t want any messages.
Recently I was sitting in a restaurant minding my own business. I glanced up and saw two men sitting across from one another intently staring into their cell phones.
Anyhoo, back to the two gentlemen. Every now and then each would pick up ANOTHER phone sitting on the table and start typing away. Yes, four phones on the table between two men, who worked together. I surmised that last fact because they were wearing identical work shirts, with identical colors and company logos.
Full disclosure, I too have been seen at a restaurant with my cell phone in hand, busy typing away. I do this because 1. I want to get out of the office for a while. 2. I am hungry and I like to support our local eateries. 3. It gives me a chance to respond to emails, check our social media sites to see if anything needs to be posted without being bothered and 4. I AMEnoughALONE.on restaurant decorum. Let’s talk about using cell phones as walkie talkies. Don’t. Just don’t. Let me assure you that no one, repeat, no one, gives a hoot about your conversation you are sharing in the aisle of some grocery store or Big Box Store. Again, no one. Not only do we not care, it is annoying as all get out. We don’t care about your wart removal, Aunt Sissy’s hemorrhoids or that your Baby Daddy/Mommy didn’t come home last night. It is, and I hope this offends you walkie talkies out there …Thererude.is a perfect time and place to use your cell phone as a megaphone - and that is in your car (hopefully with the windows up). We have a “hands-free” law in Georgia, meaning you can’t be holding your phone while you drive. But feel free to turn on that speaker with the phone near you and talk away. But again, not in public. Not ever. And finally to mail boxes. Here we have the case of 1. Not setting up your mailbox, meaning no one can leave you a message, and 2. Your mailbox is full, meaning, again, no one can leave you a message.

If your mailbox is full, let’s hope it’s not a personal/business phone. Because if a client is trying to reach you, just (again) rude. If you can’t handle your mailbox, can you really handle my business?
John
I realize that the new generation calls and then doesn’t leave a message because whomever is going to call back so why bother. I am not that new generation, and if you call and don’t leave a message as to why you called, I am not calling back. If you can take the time to hit #5 on your keypad for “dad,” you can take a couple of extra seconds to say you need money. If you won’t set up your mailbox, at least leave a message that says “I refuse to set up my mailbox in defiance of corporate greed/I really don’t want to talk to you/I have no idea how to use this $1,000 device.”

The The Trick to Making Madeleines
Some foods have earned a place in literary history. Consider the Turkish Delight that was Edmund’s favorite sweet in C. S. Lewis’s The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe or the slices of southern goodness that Fannie Flagg had us all drooling over in her book Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café French novelist Marcel Proust, in his Remembrance of Things Past, famously remembered the pleasant time that his mother offered him tea, which he at first declined but then took along with “one of those short, plump little cakes called ‘petites madeleines,’ which look as though they had been moulded in the fluted scallop of a pilgrim’s shell.” Madeleines do indeed have a scalloped shape, and one day, I decided to bake some of the classic lemon-flavored ones. I found a vintage French madeleine pan at an antique mall, and I had read that the key to baking madeleines was to butter the pan well, so I did. Alas, my madeleines clung to that pan for dear life. Then I read that you should really butter the pan three times and freeze it in between butterings so that every nook and cranny of the pan is covered in butter. Fine. Tried it. Didn’t work. I was about to give up on trying to bake madeleines when I happened across a Wilton nonstick madeleine pan for just 99 cents at a discount store. I decided to give it a whirl, and every madeleine I’ve ever made with it has come out perfectly. Madeleines aren’t hard to bake at all, but do yourself a favor and buy a nonstick pan, unless you just enjoy spending half your life buttering crevices and plopping pans in the freezer. Having long ago mastered the lemon madeleine, I wanted to try another flavor, and this vintage recipe for Chocolate Madeleines comes from a grand old department store, Strawbridge and Clothier in Philadelphia. Perfectly light and cake-like, these madeleines are garnished with the tiniest sprinkling of powdered sugar, and I’ll bet that today’s kids would enjoy these as a fun new after-school snack. n with Angela

August is back to school month. At my age that means the grandkids are going back to school, watching for school buses that are on the road, and avoiding the back to school crowds at the big box stores. Once you are of a certain age the month that signifies new experiences, new relationships, new learning is simply just another month. But ... what if this year it’s not? What if this August we look at what learning something new could do for us? If you are wondering why in the world would you want to learn something new, here are a few things to ponder.
4. Learning something new may involve going to a class which will provide social engagement. Social isolation is one of the most detrimental factors to your health. People who are socially engaged are happier, healthier and live longer than those who are not.

o 2 large eggs o 1/2 cup granulated sugar o 1/4 cup cocoa o 1 teaspoon baking powder o 2 teaspoons vanilla o 1 stick plus 2 tablespoons melted butter, divided use o 3/4 cup all-purpose flour o A few tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar (for garnish) Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Beat eggs well, then add granulated sugar and beat again. Add cocoa, baking powder, vanilla, and the 1 stick of melted butter and beat for one minute. Sift flour directly over the egg mixture and beat by hand for another minute, just till combined. Spoon by heaping tablespoons into cavities of madeleine pan greased with the 2 tablespoons of melted butter.* Bake for 10-12 minutes, until madeleines are slightly cracked or dry. Remove from pans and cool on racks. Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving. Yields 18 madeleines.
3. Learning something new could stave off dementia. Dementia has been linked to demyelination of the brain. Demyelination disease is a condition that results in damage to the protective covering that surrounds the nerve fibers in your brain. When these fibers are damaged, nerve impulses slow down and can even stop. People who actively learn new skills don’t give their brains a chance to demyelinate.
2. Learning something new will help increase the speed at which you learn. When you stimulate the neurons in the brain, more neural pathways are formed and electrical impulses travel faster across them. The more pathways, the faster the impulses can travel.
5. Learning something new may involve exercise. Exercise releases endorphins. So exercise can help both your mind and your body. Hopefully you are convinced that learning something new should be in your near future. If you need some help deciding what that new thing could be, here are some suggestions: painting, line dancing, pickle ball, photography, pottery, poker, a musical instrument, cooking, swimming, golf, writing, knitting, and there is so much more! Regardless of age, learning something new is great way to stay active, stave off boredom, depression, loneliness and memory problems, live happier and longer. This August don’t let the kids have all the fun. Get learning! Beth Dow is a Dementia and Alzheimer’s Educator, CAEd and Geriatric Care Manager.

Note: I used a Wilton madeleine pan that makes madeleines about 3 inches tall and 2 inches wide.
1. Learning something new will change your brain chemistry. Myelin is the white matter in your brain that helps improve performance. The more you practice a new skill that you have learned, the more dense the myelin which then helps you learn even better.
Starting with defending state champion Trinity Christian, which finished last year a perfect 14-0 to win its first GHSA state championship, the Lions will be experiencing the biggest change in GHSA reclassification among Coweta County Schools. After winning the GHSA Class A Private title a year ago, Trinity moves up and out of the Private School division and will now compete in Region 4, 4-A. The Lions region opponents are Fayette County, LaGrange, North Clayton, Riverdale, Starr’s Mill, Troup and Whitewater. Newnan reached the state playoffs first round last season with a 3-7 ledger and dropped in the reclassification process from 7-A to 6-A and now competes in Region 5. The Cougars region opponents in 2022 will be Alexander, Douglas County, East Paulding, Langston Hughes, New Manchester, Paulding County and South Paulding. Northgate, 2-8 last season, stayed in 5-A following reclassification, but moves from Region 2 to Region 3 in 2022-23. The Vikings region opponents will be Drew, Harris County, McIntosh and Northside-Columbus. Heritage School, 0-10 last year, left the Georgia High School Association during reclassification with several other private schools and moves to their new-branded home – GIAA (Georgia Independent Athletic Association) which formerly was the GISA. The Hawks will be competing in District 5, 3A with district opponents Brookstone, St. Anne-Pacelli, Strong Rock and Westfield.
By JOEY HOWARD, The Weekly The 2022 high school football season is about to officially get underway with the regular season beginning Friday and Saturday. And for Coweta County prep football fans, things will appear a little different in 2022. That’s mainly because the GHSA (Georgia High School Association) and its reclassification process shuffled things quite a bit.
Coach Speak
The Atlanta Hawks brought back one of their own last month, adding former NBA 3-point specialist Kyle Korver to their coaching staff. Korver played for the Hawks from 20122017 and averaged 10.9 points per game. He will serve as the Director of Player Affairs and Development in Atlanta. Last year, he was on the Brooklyn Nets staff as a player development assistant.Korver played 17 seasons in the NBA including 1,232 games. He finished fifth in NBA history in three-pointers made with 2,450.
Central Christian School, 3-7 a season ago, plays in the Georgia Association of Private and Parochial Schools (GAPPS) and moves from 11man football to 8-man football. The Crusaders will be in Region 2, 2-A with its region opponents being New Creations, Sherwood Christian, Young Americans and Vidalia Heritage. And finally, the one school without any classification or region change locally is East Coweta. The Indians were 7-4 last season reaching the first round of the state playoffs. East Coweta remains in Region 2, 7-A with region opponents Campbell, Carrollton, Pebblebrook and Westlake.

Football looks different for most Coweta teams
Most sports fans probably are familiar with the term “Coach Speak.” It’s the tried-and-true lines coaches of all sports use to describe their team, their opponents and so on. At last month’s Southeastern Conference Football Media Days, Saturday Down South defined coach speak a little differently during the four-day event. SDS actually counted the words of all 14 SEC coaches in their press conference opening statement. Want to guess which coach spoke the most words? It was Clark Lea of Vanderbilt with an impressive 2,340-word opening statement. And the least? Quite a surprise with the always talkative Mike Leach of Mississippi State using a grand total of 7 words. Leach basically just said I’m ready to take your questions. Shane Beamer of South Carolina came in second with 2,185. UGA’s Kirby Smart was third with a distant 1,438 words in his opening remarks.Others were Sam Pittman of Arkansas (1,379), Nick Saban of Alabama (1,339), Mark Stoops of Kentucky (1,296), Eli Drinkwitz of Missouri (1,196), Josh Heupel of Tennessee (1,147), Billy Napier of Florida (1,131), Bryan Harsin of Auburn (886), Brian Kelly of LSU (343) and Lane Kiffin of Ole Miss (219). Smart signs 10-year deal UGA head football coach was rewarded after leading the Bulldogs last season to a national championship, the first since 1980. Smart signed a 10-year deal for $112.5 million, which makes him the highest paid college football coach in the country. The new contract bumps up his salary from $7.1 million to $10.25 million. And incremental increases through the term of the contract will raise his salary to $12.25 million in 2031. Riley also signs huge contract The Atlanta Braves rewarded All-Star third baseman Austin Riley on Aug. 1 with a 10-year, $212 million contract extension. Riley’s contract is the largest in franchise history. The Mississippi native will earn $15 million in 2023, then $21 million in 2024 and $22 million for the rest of the deal. At the end of the contract, he’ll also have a club option in 2033 in the amount of $20 million. As of Aug. 12, Riley leads in the Braves in batting average (.297), home runs (30), RBIs (74), on base percentage (.358), slugging percentage (.590), and hits (129).

“They really show their appreciation for you.” V. Smith
My next exam is the vision test. That whole dilating the eyes thing is just downright annoying. Sometimes they blow air on the eyeball. They always tell me to be “very still.” Seriously? I do not actually plan on jumping out of my seat, but it’s nearly happened a time or two.
I “Wait,”blinked.Isaid. “How about we just chat beforehand? I mean, what do you want to know? I’m an open book!” I tried hard to counteroffer. “We can even have coffee, it doesn’t matter, just knock me out for this procedure. I’m a bit concerned that if I see you coming toward my eye with those sharp tools, it may get a bit dicey between you, me and the majority of anyone else in the room.”
I also appreciate how the machines have been improved over the years. Any woman who has had mammograms since the 1980’s knows what I mean. Let’s just say modern technology is our friend.

Another test that annoys me is the annual mammogram. It makes me very grumpy. While I’m thankful we live in a culture where we have access to medicine and medical exams, I’m always on edge when it’s my turn. My bestie and I used to do these things together, and often went to lunch and shopping after. This definitely took the edge off of the day. But I moved back to Newnan and now we just chat on the phone about the upcoming exam and encourage one another.

A few years ago, one of those eye exams resulted in cataract surgery. My doc explained the process during my surgery consultation. Using a huge plastic eyeball, he demonstrated how the surgery is performed. I was still processing that information when he said that part of the plan was that I would be awake during the procedure so he could “communicate” with me.

“Let me just say,” he began, “We will give you something to help you relax and you really won’t care if I take your eyeball out and play marbles with it.” He was right. They indeed gave me just the right amount of whatever-it-was and all I remember from the entire procedure is seeing color. I was ever so thankful I didn’t come off that surgery table ready to fight with half an eye. I asked him for a doggie bag of that special serum. Spoiler alert: I didn’t get it.

I had a mammogram recently, and was delighted to know that they still keep the gowns in this fancy toaster-oven kind of thing, and heat them up to the most perfect, cozy temperature. It’s seriously a luxury, and I hope they never stop offering this comfort. It’s also always a surprise, because I really don’t think about it beforehand, and I’m always grateful when I am given the warm gown.

Perhaps the most essential part of putting a property on the market is value analysis. There needs to be data behind the list price. Recent sales of similar properties in the vicinity of the subject property should be considered. Even in a great market, you cannot just throw a price out there. You need comparable sales to support the value.

Real Es tate Weekly The Three Common Mistakes Sellers Make When Listing a Property As the real estate market begins to shift and cool down, it is more important than ever to have the correct approach when selling your property. An imperative part of our job as Realtors is consulting with clients and preparing them to list their home. Market value analysis, condition of the home and attention to detail all matter. There are several common mistakes that I see property owners make. I will cover some of those below.
Jess Barron is an Associate Broker with Lind seys, Inc. Realtors and former President of the Newnan-Coweta Board of Realtors n with Jess Barron Check our social media accounts for photos of the Beer, Bourbon & Wine Tasting event.
Many homeowners take pride in their home, which is a great thing. However, when it comes to pricing, you need an objective approach. Many buyers will not see the same value in an aspect of the home that you will. For example, a pool that you spent a significant amount of money on, may be viewed as an expense or liability to a prospective buyer, especially one with children or pets. Another example is a very custom renovation. You may love the purple color of the walls, but most buyers would like something more neutral like a gray or white. Price is the most important part of listing a property. Many sellers forget this. You do not want your listing to sit with no activity. A prelisting appraisal is a great idea. Just like selling a car, a home needs to be in tip top shape when listed on the market. All aspects of the home need to be in good working order as well as a clean home. I advise my clients to have a pre-listing home inspection to ensure this. It is better to be proactive with real estate than reactive. Handle issues upfront and do not wait for the buyer to find them while under contract. If you cannot handle these issues, then the price needs to reflect the expense to handle these items. A first impression in real estate is everything. Once the property hits the market and the Internet, presentation is everything. Professional photography, including drone photography when appropriate, is a must. A detail-oriented approach is vital. Detailed remarks that showcase the property’s strengths and potential is essential. You want to grab potential buyers’ attention while making them comfortable with the home. A Realtor can handle and should handle all of this for you. They should be your guide through the home selling process. Take your time with listing preparation and pay attention to details, it will pay off for you!
