November 20, 200817 yr Thats crazy but I don't really blame the Sheriff. I do feel bad for her though.
November 21, 200817 yr I bet the community does fund raisers for her and hers and they all come out better than they were. What about homeowners insurance?

November 21, 200817 yr Only in Kentucky... No....only in Carlisle. :lol: Sad thing is, I read it and was like, "Yeah. Another day in Nicholas Co."
November 22, 200817 yr 13 people in a single wide trailer. I'm thinking that's just a little too close for comfort for me. Assuming, of course, the other 12 people weren't Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders or high-end professinal models. I wouldn't have a problem then.
November 24, 200817 yr But how about the lack of a moving permit? I would imagine that is why they were attempting it that late in the day. Somebody on my road tried the same thing last year. They took out a tree in someone's yard, blocked the road for several hours and knocked out power for many people for hours.:irked: No permit, of course, and also trying to get out of setting up proper septic sewer. Blocking 68 for that many hours is a big deal too. I have to go to Cynthiana tomorrow, I wonder if the debris is cleaned up yet? As bad as the whole thing was, the sheriff's quotes were priceless.
November 24, 200817 yr Awesome quotables from the story: And, everyone agrees, that leaves some 12 people — four adults and eight children ranging from 3 months to 12 years — facing Thanksgiving with no place to live. (Not funny but 12 people in one trailer??) Barton's boyfriend, Alan Gaunce, no relation to Jim, said somebody — he's not sure who — told him he'd be shot if he didn't get out of the trailer before it was toppled. Barton, a grandma at 35 with gold streaks in red hair, On the other hand, Garrett, a wiry chain-smoker who ran for re-election with the slogan of "More 'Dick' in 2006," The charge, he said: "being ignorant." where Garrett Tuesday was reviewing a Mayberry-like constituent call concerning a thwarted attempt to snatch a fresh cherry pie from a kitchen. But, asked what he would have done differently, Garrett said, "I'd have knocked it over sooner." Barton spent more than an hour Tuesday standing and crying next to a 10-foot-high pile of wooden walls and pink insulation Barton, who helps manage the mobile park where she lived, paid for her home with a settlement from an automobile accident. (Big shocker here) Chris "Pancake" Meyers told her, she said, that he had more than 13 years' experience in hauling things About 1½ miles into the move, the tires popped off. trying to push with one truck from behind while pulling from the front resulted in the hitch coming off and Barton's blue-walled bedroom being crushed. The family, a mishmash of real kin and unofficially adopted kids(:lol: another word for kidnapping???), teens and young adults, are crammed into a smaller trailer while Barton tries to sort through it all. Jim Gaunce, an amiable great-grandfather, watched most of it unfold from his rocker in a sunny living room with windows so spotless birds frequently thud into the glass while trying to fly through.

November 24, 200817 yr It's pretty difficult for me to grasp that you don't mean to offend when you say you wish that Eastern Kentucky would "just break away and form a 51st state." Step off the high horse, my friend.
November 24, 200817 yr It's pretty difficult for me to grasp that you don't mean to offend when you say you wish that Eastern Kentucky would "just break away and form a 51st state." Step off the high horse, my friend. Upon further review, that comment was not cool. Thus I have deleted it. My bad.
November 24, 200817 yr I'm sure that the eight kids that are now homeless are laughing right along with the rest. And who does this woman think she is, trying to buy her own place and piece of land? Shouldn't she just live in subsidized housing and draw a check? What is she thinking, trying to be a responsible adult? Yes, she made poor decisions (pun intended), but that is no reason to enjoy the suffering of her and her family.
