Springfield Community Meeting - 11/05 @ 7pm

[cindi]

If they wished to submit signatures to FTU they could have done the 100 or so they got on National Night out a long long time ago but they have not.

Wow, you have no idea how much it pains me to say this, that's a good question. Now excuse me while I go see if hell froze over.
They collected signatures and didn't submit them? You sure about that? Why would anyone do that?

Have you seen anything in the FTU, maybe call them and see if they have them on file

AND   When is the SHARP meeting I wish to go

Chris, you don't really have to do any digging on this one to figure out you got sold a bill of goods. I mean, that doesn't even make sense. Why would SPAR bother with some petition drive and collect a bunch of signatures, only to NOT use them? It sounds like you may have been told a version of events that was intended to portray things in a more flattering light.

But even if they never submitted the formal petition to COJ, then you can still bet that this signature list was dragged out at every meeting Louise had with code enforcement, zoning, the GC's office, or that councilman she's been pestering. They may not have submitted the formal petition, but I guarantee you she's been using that list. And it equally defies logic that someone could "accidentally" switch a sign-in sheet out for an anti-rooming house petition, at an anti-rooming house meeting. Sure you have to admit, that's a little too coincidental.

[chris farley]

Chris you are correct in one thing, I do not know if and when they have been submitted anywhere, I just try and fund raise for Springfield.  Actually and I know this will not ba accepted, I mis read COJ and thought you were referring to FTU - my mistake,  I did not recheck.

Will you tell me where the SHARP meeting is going to be held and when?

[chris farley]

Chris has the pulse of this neighborhood and does not believe there was a deliberate attempt to deceive.

really? Says who?? There seems to be a lot of people reading minds around here. She does NOT speak for me or have my pulse.

Not my words or my belief or my desire and I do not wish to be liked by Stephen

When is the SHARP meeting I wish to go

Luckily you have nothing to fear on this score.

I suppose when I get around to planting a tacky flower garden, I shall simply have to choose another form of ornament.   Ceramic frogs perhaps?

Have you tried emailing the sharp group?

You should try it tomorrow morning, before all the tea drinking begins.

If you have already emailed them, perhaps they have their reasons for not returning your email.

Like keeping stuff secret, are you serious?

My poor flowers what have they done to you?  The ornament came from the Cummer

But
How much feline is too much feline in the town of Dudley, Mass.?
The answer: If you have four of the furry four-legged friends without a special license, you've gone too far.
The town made it illegal this week to own more than three cats without getting a $50 residential kennel license. Voters at a town meeting added language to a town bylaw that makes it illegal to own more than three cats without the special license.

[chris farley]

But I liked what you said - I think I am going to have a sign made for my fence - Come have tea in my tacky flower garden -  seriously I like it maybe Gin will paint it for me

No, it's OK Chris, and this certainly isn't your fault, or your doing. From all accounts, including sheclown's, you're a conscientious person who cares about the neighborhood. I don't think you're engaged in the SPAR behavior that so many (including me) find offensive, but at the same time I wonder whether you're really getting the full story from Louise & Co. on exactly what happened with this "petition"?

Obviously you asked them what happened, and rightly so. It's just that I'm just unsure whether you'd have gotten any less of a dishonest answer than what usually comes out of that group. I mean, it's not like they're just going to come right out and say "Oh yeah, we tried getting some 'extra' signatures and got busted...hehehe". Naturally, they're going to give you some B.S. excuse that makes no sense. That's to be expected. And it sounds like that is exactly what happened.

wow, talk about bunny boiling inappropriate.

[sheclown]

Chris, one of my desires for the SHARP group is to put together all we have of Springfield's history and get it internet accessible.  In this capacity, your aid is very much requested and appreciated. 

Right now, we are in the Talking About What We are Going to Do stage.

Cindi, you are wasting your talent in that nurse's uniform -- you ought to be a writer.

[Dark Knight]

How many cats constitute an illegal feline rooming house ?

Wow - I'll consider this post a badge of honor. You're just nobody in Springfield until you've been blasted by cindi on a public forum. And after only a handful of posts! I'll say this for cindi: at least her general contempt and disdain is observably equal opportunity. 

[sheclown]

Yeah, Cindi is sort of like that cute pit bull in the neighbor's yard.  You're kind of glad she's there, but you don't really want to stick your hand in the fence, either.

really? don't flatter yourself.  "blasted" (wow, a little exagerrated huh - but hey that's the springfield way) because i disagree that Chris Farley has my "pulse", how RUDE of me to question the almighty.  how about the fact that everyone in springfield should consider themselves nobodies because evidently only a few people speak for everyone.  i have disdain and general contempt for people that are presumtive in believing they either truly know me or what i think and want.
as for your sheclown, go ahead, stick your hand in the fence again.  since you both seem to think you know what i am thinking - try it now.
WRONG, i am thinking - hey Karl, it's time for BBQ

[chris farley]

Pulse was not meant literally, it meant maybe knowing something about the neighborhood, but please do not use my name again in messages like the previous
The following by Mark Slaughter, not directed at anyone in particular

Hate has burned a gaping hole -
The rancid reek of charring flesh
Is dancing on my very soul.
And as the rising fumes enmesh
My crumpled heart, I play the role
Of crabby fart, gassing off
A diatribe; bleeding out a
Bitter part: an ugly twisted man

[cindi]

the post was not directed at you but instead at the arrogance of the person making that statement.  perhaps they should have asked your permission to post your name as i was merely quoting the post.  the following by francis duggan, not directed at anyone in particular.
I never could like them and them I just tolerate
Those arrogant people who think they are great
They build themselves up by putting others down
And you meet them on every Street in every Town.

The opinions of others they dismiss offhand
And not one thing about empathy do they understand
They hurt others feelings yet remorse never show
And anything about kindness they do not seem to know.

They only seem to seek their own glorious hour
And they get themselves into positions of power
They are leaders in Government of us that surely say
That we do not choose wisely on Election Day.

Arrogant people are or were never rare
And for the feelings of others they never do care
Their bank accounts big and their values are small
And they don't believe in a fair go for all.

Arrogant people convince us that they are born to lead
For power and control they have in them this need
And the little power we have to them we do give
Though they don't believe in live and let live.
