Odd signs frustrate residents in DeKalb neighborhood - Atlanta News, Weather, Traffic, and Sports | FOX 5

http://www.myfoxatlanta.com" title="Atlanta News, Weather, Traffic, and Sports | FOX 5 ">Atlanta News, Weather, Traffic, and Sports | FOX 5

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. - Residents in a DeKalb County neighborhood say they are perplexed and disturbed over signs going up in one man's yard. They say the bizarre signs all over a Mason Mill yard are just part of the problem.

For 42 years, Emory theology professor George Gary lived on the street, but he says he moved in large part because of Avery's strange behavior.

"He would stand at the mailbox over there and wait on me going to work in the mornings and would yell things to me about, ‘you are going to hell,'" said Gary.

"Right now, it's just him putting things in his yard but where can it lead to," said Mihelic.


***
There was only one time I ever yelled anything about hell...
and that was directed to Bob Gary's face while  both of us standing on their front porch; with Janet, his pernicious prevaricating cunt, staying inside the house.

I had shown up wanting to discuss an email him and his wife had sent me; the two of them concurring against me in a way I thought unfair.  Was wanting a chance telling him my side of the story of what happened that day alone with his wive Janet as we waited for him to get home. Janet had told me he would be home in an hour.
 The arrogant obtuse swine refused, causing me to yell:
"If there is such a place as heaven,


no doubt in my mind,
YOU TWO will BURN in HELL!"

Then I stormed off their property fuming.

There was only one morning I waited out by the mailbox specifically with the intention of speaking with Mr. Gary coming out of  their home on his way to work.  But, instead of coming out of the house by himself as usual, he comes out with Janet who was looking as if near death. Never seen her looking this frail. 

It was shocking.  

Still,
as he's walking her to the car and helping her get in on the passenger side
(she still has and drives her own car btw),
I said what I wanted to say:

"May James Edward Avery, DVM
respectfully
request the presence of George Robert Gary, Sr. ThD
on
this side of the street?"  
Other than the angry facial expression, Bob completely ignores  me right up till getting himself in the car and the two of them driving off.
 Maybe I'm just dreaming this part,
but I swear,
Janet actually looked like she tried at one point showing me a smile as Bob walking her to the car.
Also can't help but find it interesting how everyone else are wanting to believe this is a retired couple I'm harassing.  Bob said it himself, that I would stand by mailbox waiting for him on his way to work.  Wonder who's responsible for this misinformation?
Then there is this issue of them having lived on this street for 42 years.  Another prevarication considering the circumstances of  our two household's official introduction.  The day Janet so excitedly told me how they had been approached by property developers offering them twice the value of their home on the condition all seven consecutive lots their side of the street agreed to sell.  That day alone in their home with Janet, she confirmed that they had signed on to sell.

On December 11th, will have to appear in court before our honorable Janis Gordan because of an email I sent Bob Gary with a copy to his wife...
violating their restraining order. 

I've already spent two and a half weeks in Dekalb County Jail waiting for my mother deciding whether or not bailing me out; her phone number being the only number memorized. 

I have almost no doubt all the perniciousness and prevarications of  George Robert Gary, Sr. ThD household directed at my household in which James Edward Avery, DVM lives alone with two cats is because of  something Janet told me in private about their son Phil, also a preacher, having been home a spell; problems of his own with his chosen career path as well.

Until hearing their son was a preacher, thought he was home maybe having marital problems. Just too angry as he sat on their front porch rocking in that red chair for far too long for any son just visiting.

As far as Ron Mihelic and Justin Gray, you have to meet them in person to appreciate what such little people they are.
They where surprisingly cuter in person as well.  

Thank for god my big sister Donna, who just happened to be visiting from Arkansas having brought our mother, explained this to me:
"TV...ADDS... ten pounds!"
I suppose none of us like the way we look (or sound) on TV.
Anyway...
back to Ron Mihelic and Justin Gray:
Although  Conservatives, wouldn't mind... ONCE... fucking them both stupid.
Wouldn't take...
LONG!

A TOP/VERS PIG myself.
But...
they will have to bring a signed written note from their wives giving permission first!


If there is nothing wrong with a man being
"straight but not narrow,"
then
there should be nothing wrong with me as a gay man
being
"superficial but not shallow."
;^)

After the interview, Justin Gray spoke briefly with me and my sister before we parted. 

As I'm turning and heading back up the steps to my house, I hear my sister blurt after Justin,
"What he really needs is a ghostwriter!"

Then hearing Justin answer back,
"A patient one."

To which I turned and added with a loud laugh,
"Who said it was going to be a short book!"

Bob Ross - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 
Bob Ross' 70th Birthday



 

Robert Norman "Bob" Ross (October 29, 1942–July 4, 1995) was an American painter, art instructor, and television host.[1] He is best known as the creator and host of The Joy of Painting, a television program that ran for more than a decade on PBS in the United States and Canada.

Ross was raised in Orlando, Florida, Ross had a brother Jim, whom he mentioned in passing on his show.

Ross enlisted in the United States Air Force at age 19 after graduating from Elizabeth Forward High School in Elizabeth, Pennsylvania, and was living in Florida early in his military career when the Air Force transferred him to Eielson Air Force Base (in Alaska), where he first saw the snow and mountains that later became recurring themes in his artwork. He developed his quick-painting technique in order to be able to create art for sale in brief daily work breaks. Having held military positions that required him to be, in his own words, "mean" and "tough," "the guy who makes you scrub the latrine, the guy who makes you make your bed, the guy who screams at you for being late to work," Ross decided that if he ever moved on from the military, "it wasn't going to be that way any more," "vowing never to scream again."

Ross discovered that he was soon able to earn more from selling his work than from his Air Force position. After leaving the Air Force, he studied with Bill Alexander before becoming famous worldwide with his own television program, The Joy of Painting.

Free speech limits tested in dispute between neighbors | www.ajc.com



Spotted Jason Getz taking pictures of my yard, first, sometime before noon.  Because of all the equipment he was carrying, exited my house just to confront him.  Told me he had been sent by AJC to take these pictures because of all the complaints. Asked him why anyone complaining would call AJC?  Well, maybe these weren't exactly complaints he answers back.  

Tried explaining my signs some to him; then he leaves. 

Later in the afternoon, Christian Boone just shows up; unannounced also.  It would have been nice someone letting me know to be expecting this interest shown my AJC. This particular day I was busy rushing around trying to get my house ready before my mother and sister arrived their visit, driving all the way from Arkansas. 

Same thing happens the next day with FoxNews Channel 5.  My sister and I arrived home late afternoon from an excursion checking out estate sales, finding Jason Gray and his camera woman waiting for us.  

These signs had already been up two through three weeks.  Find it curious, this interest suddenly shown by two different media franchise back to back...
and none since.

Then find out couple of weeks later, made it into Project Q, a gay forum.  And they didn't even offer me the courtesy/chance telling my side of the story. 

Free speech limits tested in dispute between neighbors | www.ajc.com“We as a neighborhood need your assistance in protecting our property values, integrity of our personal beliefs and safety of the families in the neighborhood,” Rasulina said in his letter urging Ellis to intervene.

I love it!  I love it! I love it!
Charles Bliss's Iranian Uranium Enrichment Concubine, Bobby Rasulina just doesn't know when to quit.

Although extremely disappointed with the interview and the way the article was written, told my mother and sister as we read the comments together...
not be be upset by them.

Pointed out to them,
the article starts off with me claiming to be a Progressive.  Right there we have half of America automatically turned off to anything I have to say and automatically saying the same things we are reading here now.

At least I'm able,
also,
 using the comments section correcting any shortcoming.

Not a total loss.

Posted by SimplyJim

I'm the guy the article's about. I want to point out that Bobby Rasulina does not even own the property next to mine. He is Charles Bliss's (the guy with all the money) "Iranian Uranium Enrichment Concubine". Bobby is what we in he gay community refer to as "kept". About 6-8 years ago, Charles Bliss purchased the lot which is located in unincorporated Dekalb County, never been cultivated until they moved next door planting an ultra green high maintenance lawn. Before even moving in, they cut down 24 trees violating county green laws (which allow only 5 trees per year) much to the dismay and many complaints of current residents of the neighborhood. Charles Bliss, 20 years older than his partner Bobby, is afraid of trees. Claims he almost died because of one.The reason the county most likely looked the other way, despite all the complaints, probably has to do with the fact they did raise our property values which translate into increase revenue for the county. This article is way too brief to really get to the heart/meaning of my signs. All signs tie directly to the center sign which is about TRAGIC VISION OF HUMANKIND. As Bobby made himself spoke-sissy for their property, will speak for that sign directed at them. Bobby thinks his old man has the right to do what he wants with his lot because:

"IT"S CHARLIE'S MONEY AND HE CAN SPEND IT ANYWAY HE WANTS," 
said Bobby the first day I met him.

Well, I suppose the Iranians can say the same thing about their Uranium Enrichment Program:

"IT'S THEIR MONEY AND THEY CAN SPEND IT HOWEVER THEY WANT."

My question to all the dumb CONSERVATIVES who read this article:

"HOW DOES ONE BE A GOOD LITTLE PROGRESSIVE WITHOUT BEING CONFRONTATIONAL?"

"CONFRONT". "CONFRONTATIONAL." "CONFRONT." "CONFRONTATIONAL." That's not a dirty word either...and I take pride in that.


***

My point....
if green laws always lose out to property value; where does that leave us in the long run?

The purpose of all those signs nailed to all those trees of mine was primarily an attempt embarrassing DeKalb County into admitting willful accessory to Mr. Charles W. Bliss crime of violating DeKalb County's own GREEN LAWS.

How DeKalb County had no right being completely dismissive not just my two complaints called in to the county, but the complaints of many other residents of this neighborhood, over Mr. Bliss's intention removing just about every trees from his newly acquired property in our neighborhood.  We're not talking about a yard with a lot of trees here.  We're talking about a yard who's tree were part of this neighborhood's forest/wildlife appeal.

Media attention was exactly what I was aiming for with my attempt trying to make these sign as inflammatory and unsightly as possible just to provoke people into calling in these complaints; yet not inflammatory at the same time.

Not a single one of those signs came anywhere near being as inflammatory as the signs used by Rev. Phelps and members of his Westboro Kansas Church during their protest of funeral gay men who have died of A.I.D.S. and the funerals of soldiers who have died fighting our wars halfway around the world; so far removed from the daily concerns of your average American citizen, you almost wouldn't know we were still at war.  And let's not forget, eight out of our nine Supreme Court justices upheld  Rev. Phelps and his church rights protesting with these signs; even their use of the word "FAG."

Well I got the media attention I was wanting and it was a disaster. 

Then again, it wasn't.

Being the progressive I am who is learning what works and what doesn't work by being confrontational, I am able finding a way learning from this experience and prepared doing better next time.

First disaster:
"The self-described "gay, progressive Razorback".  Do not remember why I even mentioned my first three years at University of Arkansas.  As a veterinarian, I'm actually an LSU-SVM alumni.  This would actually make me a Tiger.

What this should have been, "I'm a progressive who just happens to be gay.  I'm a progressive who just happens to be an atheist.  I'm a progressive who just happens to be a handicap with a hearing impairment.  I a progressive who just happens to be many things.  But, it's not my progressive activism on these issues I'm wanting to believes defines me as a progressive.  It's my progressive activism on issues I personally have nothing to gain from I wanting to believe defines me a progressive.  Women's Rights.  Minority's Rights.  Environmental Issues.  Universal Health Care Insurance.  etc." 

I even told this reporter about the crystal meths addiction I was trying to get myself off.

Second disaster:
"And Avery, who accuses the county of selectively enforcing codes, said he's eager to fight."
Not realizing until cutting me short, Mr. Boone was in a hurry getting back needing to write this article in time meeting this very same afternoon's deadline.  Nor did he inform me of the nature of any of the complaints he was already planning on including in this article; enabling me a chance presenting a more precise counterpoint.
  
Had I known up front just how limited the allotted time I had telling my side of the story, would have made a big difference how and what I chose to talk about. In the future, these reporters really should let us know/volunteer this information up front without us having to ask.  Just make sense for a balance journalism.

But I did stress the excessive removal of trees from this property next to mine being my number one priority. Had I known Bobby Rasulnia was going to feature prominently in this article, could have argued, "What happened to my rights, this being my property and I can spend my money however I want, too?"

Third disaster:
Outright sloppy journalism.  "Stuffed reindeer" instead of sock monkeys hanging from a "black cross."  NO mention of the words TRAGIC VISION OF HUMANKIND. " Accusatory signs targeting Vice President Dick Cheney  to "Hitlery" Clinton to the retired couple who once lived across the street."  First of all, we didn't even talk about these other signs.  And it was Mary Cheney's name on one of these signs, not Dick Cheney's name.  Also, "Hitlery" Clinton was me making fun of the Republican perspective.  My association of Hilliary Clinton was with John the Baptist. 

 Forth disaster:
Not realizing the extent "TRAGIC (as apposed to balanced) VISION OF HUMANKIND" turning out to be case. 

From everything I've seen, it's guaranteed.

And it going to happen far sooner than people are wanting to believe; and finding it reasonable this could happen even within my generation's lifetime. 

Wonder why you live longer than a chimp? Thank your MOTHER IN LAW • The Register



Wonder why you live longer than a chimp? Thank your MOTHER IN LAW • The Register: Back then, female apes would generally die once they were past childbearing age: but naturally a few genetically different individuals might live on for longer. According to Hawkes and her colleagues, these older ape ladies in many cases would get hold of suitable infant food and pitch in to help feed their descendants. The nippers would thus be weaned earlier, allowing their mothers to have another child sooner, so spreading the grandma's unusual long-life genes faster and conferring an evolutionary advantage.
That, according to the theory, is why human females can live so long past their reproductive lifespan: because it helps to spread their genes.

Republicans divided in response to Senate candidate's rape comment | Fox News



Republicans divided in response to Senate candidate's rape comment | Fox News: NEW ALBANY, Ind. – Republicans leaders were divided Wednesday in their response to the latest controversy about a candidate's comments regarding rape -- Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock's remark that pregnancy resulting from rape can be "something that God intended."

Mourdock made the comment when asked during a debate Tuesday whether abortion should be allowed in cases of rape or incest.

"I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And, I think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen," Mourdock said.

The candidate explained afterward that he was referring to the pregnancy, and nothing else.

"God creates life, and that was my point. God does not want rape, and by no means was I suggesting that He does," he said in a statement. "Rape is a horrible thing, and for anyone to twist my words otherwise is absurd and sick."

The comment comes after Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin said in August that women's bodies have ways of preventing pregnancy in cases of what he called "legitimate rape." Akin has repeatedly apologized but has refused to leave his race despite calls to do so by leaders of his own party, including Romney.

Log Cabin Republicans Endorse Mitt Romney

 
 


og Cabin Republicans Endorse Mitt Romney: WASHINGTON -- A prominent gay Republican group offered Mitt Romney its "qualified endorsement" on Tuesday, calling it the right decision for the nation even as it slammed Romney's opposition to gay marriage.

Rather than offer the Republican presidential nominee its full support, Log Cabin Republicans said it will focus its efforts instead on Republican candidates for House and Senate who favor equality for gays and lesbians.

"If LGBT issues are a voter's highest or only priority, then Gov. Romney may not be that voter's choice," the group said in its endorsement, adding that its members value a diverse set of issues. "We believe Gov. Romney will make cutting spending and job creation his priorities, and, as his record as governor of Massachusetts suggests, will not waste his precious time in office with legislative attacks on LGBT Americans."

"There is a need to maintain a kind of balance of intellectual power. If no atheist philosophers engaged with the issue of God's existence, then the field would be left to the believers. We would then have the impression that only the religious deal with these issues with intelligence and sophistication. That would give succour to the legions of believers who have no interest in theology, but like to know others are taking care of it for them. We need books like this, therefore, not to win the battle–-for it can't be won-–but simply to show the enemy isn't off the hook."

The word "enemy" bit strong of a word. I do not consider people of faith my enemy; nor do I believe it was "Muslim who killed us on 9/11," as O'Reilly said it on much talked about episode of The View.

From a homosexual's point of view, the Bible or the Quran, same as "six and half a dozen."

If right is right, and wrong is wrong; then anything not quite right nor completely wrong has to fall somewhere in between. Believe most would agree a non-believer, who's also a homosexual, automatically gets placed the closest to wrong. But where does one view themselves on that line in relation with people like Rev. Phelps, Bishop Long, Brother Ted? Oh what the hell; let's put The Cheney Family on there, as well?

The only way I can relate to this question is the fact that out of three children:  two sons who were hearing impaired that did not have good relations with, much respect, for their father; the daughter in every sense normal, who right up to his death despite his seeming indifferent, wanted her father proud... always seeking his approval.

Probably should add, my brother, 5 years older than me, pretty much an alcoholic who until very recently, lived at home.

Yet in the end, in the Will everything still split evenly three ways. And my sister gave him 2 granddaughters as well.

Whatever it was in the beginning.......it's neutral.

No one is going anywhere without anybody.

Then again, a truly virtuous man would have no friends."

Not claiming to be anywhere close to virtuous; nor is my intent making friends.

"Doing the right thing for the wrong reason has no morale worth."

Negative response not always a bad thing. Where would Christians be without Jesus Cruxifixion.

Would call that a "negative response" to his message.

Truly, I have nothing against the man. Stripped of all the divinity stuff, nothing really unique about his teachings.

Halloween of 2010, I sent a link to my blog explaining signs in yard.  
Knew some of them would displease Mrs. Gary;
especially the cross.


Only wanted them to be displeased for the right reasons.
It was a very "Liberal" rant upset with the "Tea Party Movement."  

Beyond that...
I didn't care.

That very first day I met Janet, wife of  George Robert Gary, Sr., ThD, 
she gave me every right going after those kind of Christians she believed themselves not to be.

"OH! We're not that kind of Christian," 
she blurted out quickly after introducing myself gay as well as atheist when she got done excitedly talking about being offered twice the value of their home to sell it to a property developer planning on tearing down all seven consecutive homes across the street ending with their directly across the street from me.

Said it before and will say it again:
"What a pair of  oxymoron's!"

Jimmy Carter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carter was the first president to address the topic of gay rights. He opposed the Briggs Initiative, a California ballot measure that would have banned gays and supporters of gay rights from being public school teachers. His administration was the first to meet with a group of gay rights activists, and in recent years he has acted in favor of civil unions and ending the ban on gays in the military. He has stated that he "opposes all forms of discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and believes there should be equal protection under the law for people who differ in sexual orientation".


Jimmy Carter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: James Earl "Jimmy" Carter, Jr. (born October 1, 1924) is an American politician who served as the 39th President of the United States (1977–1981) and was the recipient of the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize, the only U.S. President to have received the Prize after leaving office. Before he became President, Carter served as a U.S. Naval officer, was a peanut farmer, served two terms as a Georgia State Senator and one as Governor of Georgia (1971–1975).

During Carter's term as President, two new cabinet-level departments were created: the Department of Energy and the Department of Education. He established a national energy policy that included conservation, price control, and new technology. In foreign affairs, Carter pursued the Camp David Accords, the Panama Canal Treaties, the second round of Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT II), and returned the Panama Canal Zone to Panama.

Carter and his wife, Rosalynn, are also well known for their work as volunteers with Habitat for Humanity, a Georgia-based philanthropy that helps low-income working people to build and buy their own homes.

He teaches Sunday school and is a deacon in the Maranatha Baptist Church in his hometown of Plains, Georgia, under the watchful eye of the U.S. Secret Service. From a young age, Carter showed a deep commitment to Christianity, serving as a Sunday School teacher throughout his life. Even as President, Carter prayed several times a day, and professed that Jesus Christ was the driving force in his life. Carter had been greatly influenced by a sermon he had heard as a young man, called, "If you were arrested for being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?"

 In 2000, Carter severed ties with the Southern Baptist Convention, saying the group's doctrines did not align with his Christian beliefs. In April 2006, Carter, former-President Bill Clinton and Mercer University President Bill Underwood initiated the New Baptist Covenant. The broadly inclusive movement seeks to unite Baptists of all races, cultures and convention affiliations. Eighteen Baptist leaders representing more than 20 million Baptists across North America backed the group as an alternative to the Southern Baptist Convention. The group held its first meeting in Atlanta, January 30 through February 1, 2008.


The Carters have three sons, one daughter, eight grandsons, three granddaughters, and two great-grandsons. They celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary in July 2011, making them the second-longest wed Presidential couple after George and Barbara Bush, a position they have held since passing John and Abigail Adams on July 10, 2000.
