There are 2 spots and 4 candidates running. I am the only one who wrote up a candidate statement. We will see if that hurts or helps. Yay democracy!

Hurlshort Posted August 22 Posted August 22 Hah, my dad told me the same thing. He said I'm basically inviting my neighbors to complain to me about everything. As a middle school teacher, I do have a pretty high threshold for patience, so hopefully that will help. I appreciate all of the support. 1 1

Homeowners Association. It is more likely to sink than it is to hover. We call them rate payers association (RPA) and I assume its the same thing? People that live in the areas have monthly meetings and they discuss issues that are relevant to everyone But in our case you pay a small fee to be a member and then RPA handles general issues with the municipality like a burst pipe or some update around security. And then you get SM updates and they keep minutes after the meetings so you can track issues and concerns Its a good initiative to be part of if you want to understand whats going on in the community you live in "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela
Gfted1 Posted August 23 Posted August 23 Those rat bastages made me cut down a tree in my front yard a few years ago (well, they paid to have it cut down and removed). I had planted it years ago when it was knee high and now it was towering. "Waa, we cant see your house number."

I broke a molar last year and was worried it was infected or something, but I got into my dentist and he was like "nope, your teeth are all perfectly healthy, bone density looks good, no infections, you're doing great, and we'll fix that one up in a couple of months". So I was like "okay...uh, so why did that one break?", and he posited that I probably bit on something hard and these things sometimes happen, the freakish brute power of our jaws combined with our imperfect nature can sometimes result in strange things happening...and then I told him that it broke when I was just eating some ruffles, just about the softest potato chips you can eat. He went "oh, hmm" and didn't give me any other theories. Alright, cool, guess I lost part of a tooth for no apparent reason.

For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
melkathi Posted August 23 Posted August 23 This tooth had a very old filling which had to be changed a few times. So it was the problem tooth anyway. The good thing is the nerve is already dead because all dentists I know said "Yeah, this tooth will cause trouble again eventually". It wasn't completely unexpected. Still annoying. At least it doesn't hurt. 2 1 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Guard Dog Posted August 24 Posted August 24 Beautiful weather in LaCrosse the past few weeks. But you can feel the air getting drier. Winter will be here soon. We're planning a trip to Big Bend National Park in November. Already have a campsite reserved in Cottonwood. We will spend the winter in West Texas. Looking forward to it.

melkathi Posted August 25 Posted August 25 Those two posts are surprisingly fitting. Once Hurlshot joins the HOA cult, Azdeus will give him an imhotep injection as well, and both will shamble down the street in Hurlshot's neigbourhood chanting "Imhotep.
