I’ll Drive You There

05/22/2025

I lot of people need to read this

This morning, a few people noticed my daughter walking to school—while I followed behind her.
Some were curious and asked why. Others just gave me that look.

Let me explain.

Yes, she’s only 10.
And yes, she walked—because I told her to.

She forgot how to speak to adults with respect.
She confused her size with authority.
She mistook comfort for entitlement.

So today, she walked.

Because I’m her mother, not her best friend.
Because rides to school are a privilege, not a right.
Because I want her to pause, think, reflect, and learn what it means to be respectful, humble, and grounded.

I followed at a distance to make sure she was safe.
But I also let her feel the weight of her choices.

I’m not afraid of hurting her feelings in the short term.
I’m afraid of raising someone who thinks the world owes her something.

Too many parents fear their child’s anger.
I fear raising an entitled adult.

So yes, she walked today.
Thinking. Reflecting. Maturing.
And I walked behind her—watching, loving, guiding… and teaching.

We’re not here to be their friends.
We’re here to raise kids who grow into friends worth having.

Premiere Car Service

02/04/2025

My name is Mark OConnell. I own I'll drive you there. We are a premier car service based in Canton Ga.
As many of you know I was in the Cold Storage Construction business for almost 20 years until I retired a little over a year and half ago.
I was driving a repeat client today and we started chatting ( as I do with all my clients). He asked if I had any special training ( I strongly agree with ABT.Always be training)

Our number one goal with all of our rides is to insure the clients gets there safely. Myself and one other driver have our OSHA 30. We both have been trained on CPR.

When I got to the office today I reached out to all my drivers and told them they would also need to have an OSHA 30 by then end of March.

I contacted the company that trained me on CPR and have set up two separate meetings to insure all my drivers with be CPR certified by the end of this month.

Why do we do what we do. Our business is in the service industry. As you know I will never be the biggest ( Uber\Lyft has that title) but I will work day and night night for my clients to know that they have chosen the best.

When you are shopping around for a ride to the airport ask the company you are speaking with three important questions

1) Are you licensed and Insured ( some of them are not )
2) How are you employees trained in reference to safety
3) What are you backup plans in case there is an accident.

I am a strong believer in training. Without proper training plan on failing on day

Love you Cherokee County

These people should go on one of my wines tours in the mountain. We have almost sold out for March

The Helsinki-Toronto flight was loaded with 400 passengers and only 200 lunches. The airline made a mistake and the crew was in a difficult situation. However, an intelligent flight attendant has come up with an idea. About 30 minutes after take-off, she announced:
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know how this happened, but we have 400 passengers on board and only 200 lunches!" “Anyone who is kind enough to give up food for someone else will receive a free unlimited amount of wine throughout the flight.”
Her next announcement was made 6 hours later: "Ladies and Gentlemen, if anyone wants to change their mind, we still have 200 lunches available!" "
Moral of the story: wine drinkers have a very big and kind soul!😊

Please stay home tonight the roads are nasty

I'll drive you there is shutting down for the evening due to the bad weather. We will look at the roads and weather again in the morning before we decide to open again in the morning.
To all our regulars I am truly sorry, but my drivers and customers come first and always will.
I worked most of the day today and my average speed was about 20 miles an hour. As many of you know I grew up in Boston. I have over 20 years experience driving in the snow and most of the times it was much worse than the snow we got today.
To all the people that have a four wheel vehicle and you think you can drive,don't do it. Not everyone has four wheel drive and they may skid into you by accident.
It is currently 31 degrees. Water freezes at 32. The roads are going to turn into a skating rink.
It's Friday night. God gave you an unexpected Friday off. Stay home with your loved ones.
If you must go out please take Uber or Lyft. We want you around for the next Friday night. It's only seven days away.

Love you Cherokee County
