She knows it’s wrong.  

Once again, Abigail has lent money to her son – this time to get his car fixed.  Her son is 28 years old and still living in the family home, where he has crashed since high school.  Abigail feels guilty giving him money, but what can she do?  He needs to get his car fixed.  He needs to look for work.

This is a common scenario in today’s world.  It’s also an example of a codependent relationship.

Every 11 minutes someone is added to the medical organ transplant waiting list.  More than 102,000 people, enough to populate a small city, are waiting for an organ donation in the United States.  Eight hundred South Carolinians are awaiting an organ transplant with approximately 90 percent needing a kidney. 

Unfortunately, thousands of people never get a second chance at life by receiving a suitable donor organ.  Being an organ donor is one of the most generous decisions that anyone could ever make and it is a life saver.

With the summer heat bearing down these days, and I do mean bearing and burning down, it can be difficult to spend a whole day on the lake fishing without risking heat issues. While several species of fish continue to be caught in good numbers and sizes, a lot of the guides and hardcore anglers have resorted to fishing at night.

In the last two weeks Alvin Michael Greene has become a national media sensation.

With much focus being devoted to his filing fee and his felony obscenity charges, we still don’t know his whole story or what he represents.

The question of whether the Town of Paxville will receive municipal water is now up to its residents.

The project which includes a total of more than 13 miles of water line will stretch from I-95 down Hwy. 261, looping around Home Branch, and continuing to the western edge of Paxville.

Retired Tech. Sgt. John Thomas Billham, 79, husband of Brenda Pauline Pallett Billham, died Thursday, June 3, 2010, at his home in Summerton.

Born April 3, 1931, in Steubenville, Ohio, he was a son of the late Jack and Mamie Moran Billham. He was a retired U.S. Air Force technical sergeant avionics specialist; a retired machinist for Cummings Diesel in Charleston; and a member of Cokesbury United Methodist Church in Charleston.

There is one definitive thing I can say about my life.

I am never, ever, EVER bored. It is just not possible in my world. I am occasionally exhausted, but never bored. Currently my brain is whirring in a million different directions, so that means it is time to unload. Thank you for indulging me.

I eat the same breakfast every day and it is purchased between my house on Manning’s Sunset Drive and our temporary quarters on Boyce Street. You know the joint.

Following the enormous popularity of the ABC hit, “Dancing with the Stars,” members of the Turbeville Community Association (formerly the Turbeville Business Association) have taken the lead in creating a similar event for Clarendon County’s own stars. And all for two good causes!

From County Council Chair Dwight Stewart to former Chief Magistrate Annelle Powell; from Sheriff Randy Garrett to Rep. Cathy Harvin, 16 “couples” kicked off their rehearsal schedule at the Turbeville home of Keith and Cheryl Wingard last Friday.
