Ah, the weekend. Time to rest up from the work week, and do something fun. Here’s what I’m doing, how about you?
Pictures really are worth a thousand words. Poor PJ, I know just how you feel and I’m sure hubby knows even better.
Mike Seeger rambles beyond
🙁 :gate:
Some pictures cry out for a punch line but in this case the cruelty of the situation can only beckon our humanity.
Hang in there buddy :nod:
I hope you like pizza. Where is the still going to go?
For some reason I feel really good this morning about not owning a home. Must be that picture.
Still no word as to who Charlie Crist will appoint to fill the Senate seat. (There will be a brief pause to allow everyone to make up their own punchlines about Charlie Crist filling someone’s seat.) The local cable news mentioned former Sen. Bob Graham as a possibility, which proves that they are dipping into the drug stash a little early today. No way will Crist appoint a Democrat… the righties would eat him alive. So to speak.
I was kinda hoping he would hint at appointing himself, just for the fun of watching Marco Rubio’s head explode.
You know PJ if you ever get tired of the computer biz I could always use someone with some maintenance chops 😉
In the mean time I have to decide if I’m going to respond to this screed by a local Teabagger(tm). I’m seriously getting sick of these clowns.
Democrat proposal from their web site
Posted: Mon Aug 03, 2009 9:19 pm
I copied the following from the Parkside Democrat web site:
———————————————————————
Professional Management
We would like to hire a full time paid borough manager to oversee the day-to-day operations of Parkside and implement the policy and vision of the borough. This position would be paid for by eliminating the position of Borough Secretary and reducing the tasks and salaries of the borough’s three professional staff members, the treasurer, engineer and solicitor. We hope that Linda Higgins would apply for the position of Borough Manager if it is created.
———————————————————————-
Really?! Does this mean Linda Higgins gets the job?? How do we interpret this?
(How about just like’s it written?)
This is really sly! After the Dems plan to eliminate the borough secretary job, they will let Linda Higgins APPLY for the job of borough manager.
(Then we’ll force quality, free healthcare on everyone)
How big of them! If they plan to give her the job; why does she have to apply for it??? Let’s say for the sake of arguement that they do hire Linda Higgins back. Does she get a raise with the added reponsibility? Or does she do the work of 4 people ie. secretary, treasurer, engineer, and solicitor for the same pay? What if an outsider applies for the job who is more qualified according to council? That’s the tricky part in all this.
(An outsider? Christ, our current council preznit is the boro manager of the town next door. Maybe he means a Kenyan)
This is a very interesting statement off the Democrat’s web site. They say, “We would like to hire a full time paid borough manager to oversee the day-to-day operations of Parkside and implement the policy and vision of the borough.” Policy and vision according to whom? I’m betting it’s Scott Sidlow’s policy and vision.
(Actually the borough manager position is my idea)
I’m betting Scott Sidlow already has a person in mind for this job, and it’s not Linda Higgins.
(No we don’t)
I think a secondary motivation is to grossly scale back, or eliminate, the involvment of the treasurer, engineer, and solicitor. This will eliminate transparency, and make the newly appointed borough manager a very powerful person indeed with very little accountablity.
(Like the previous WH administration he couldn’t cheer lead enough)

I’m not sure what happened at your place, PJ. Water damage?
Ha! My kitchen looked like that just 3 days ago. But now it has cabinets and counters. It’s awesome having someone else do the work. Except they don’t do it how I would do it, RIGHT! The guys painted over all the hardware on all the doors including the little thing that clicks the door shut. I call that a slumlord paint job. :smack: I’m moving into the house this weekend even though they aren’t done. I’ve been camping most of the summer anyways, what’s a couple of more weeks? The dogs are happy to have space. They stayed at my friends house for 6 weeks and he is living in that tiny little guest house I used to live in. Picture it, 4 dogs in a crowded 250 sq ft ramshackle shack, in the middle of summer in Az(so, the dogs aren’t going outside unless they absolutely have to.) Apparently, the dogs were getting mighty territorial about my friends bed and were having pee wars on it. :smack: Kind of like that movie “Mean Girls” only this would be called “Mean Bitches” :pup:
