I AM kicking cancer’s ass. Thanks for the positive sentiment. I’m not offended by anyone other than eg10. My guess is that she was probably jealous of my fun (on my birthday weekend) or possibly upset that I didn’t try to hit on her. Either way, I’m sure she is miserable. And “crime”? What crime occurred? It was an ACCIDENT! An accident that I attempted to walk home from. Like I said earlier, I was in a state of shock after hitting the telephone pole. I have lived in my house (that I own, not rent) for13 years. I have probably lived in the neighborhood longer than most of the people that commented on this article. Everyone knows that Decatur PD patrols Oakhurst heavily and would have cited me with DUI if they thought alcohol was involved. I do understand everyone’s concern. I went to the owners of the car to personally give them my insurance information an apologize for the inconvenience. Chad is correct, people (including me) should drive with caution in our neighborhood and NOT mess with the radio or talk on cellphones AND concentrate on the road. THAT is the lesson I learned. A costly lesson at that. I also learned to stay the HELL AWAY from the U Joint. We can all thank eg10 for that. Like Megan TT said, I really am a nice person in spite of my intimidating appearance. I’ve been an RN for 17 years and I tend to care about others (unfortunately) more than myself. I walk in the neighborhood regularly. I welcome anyone and everyone to take the time to get to know me. Knowing neighbors is the best defense against crime in our area. Thank you, Terri Woods

Megan TT-

Everybody needs a friend like you when the going gets tough. Once you get past the blazing mad stage, I hope you’ll realize that maybe we’ve kinda done your friend some good. From her comment, she seems to understand the concerns. I’m very glad that she wasn’t seriously hurt.

Decatur Metro is an outstanding blog. Its true beauty is that the commenters are honest in sharing their thoughts & ideas. A good many of us are also quick to ‘fess up when we get something wrong. DM mostly focuses on things that affect folks within the city limits, but if you want to tackle your area’s concerns, then bring it here. Folks will likely offer up some good ideas that could help.

DTR:
Point well received. Please understand, that when I see all these nasty references about a friend- whom none of the bloggers know or know anything about, it definitely causes a reaction-hence my letter. I don’t take any of it back, but am learning to laugh at the posts and the minds behind them. But once again, the most important thing is that Ms. Mohawk, the only one involved in the accident, is OK.
I agree with you about DM metro- good blog- will check it out once in awhile- trying not to get too addicted to many cyber things- Facebook is about all I can handle right now- Haha.
Haven’t really fully delved deep into this blog, but do wish that my south of Glenwood, unincorporated Decatur neighborhood, Toney Valley was on more of it. Guess I could fix that- but have got to find about 3 more hours in the day to tackle that one- just don’t have the time.
And for the record- I’m a lover, not a fighter- so no a$$-kickings through the monitor by Megan TT.

Exactly which posts do you find to be so recklessly judgmental? (Pun intended.)
Why is the crime that occurs south of Memorial relevant to this discussion? Does your mention of those crimes somehow legitimize this crime? I really don’t understand the reference.
Ms. Mohawk if any of my posts upset you, I sincerely apologize. I applaud your punk rock response to chemo. I hope you kick cancer’s a$$. Honestly, I do. If I ever get saddled with cancer, I’ll follow your lead and get a mohawk too.
Whether drinking was involved or not, this incident should serve as a reminder to us all to slow the frick down. Behind those light poles are good people getting a good night’s rest.
