Subject: my main suggestion would be to meditate on being a nicer person

I have a few suggestions for Bruce:

First of all, the use of the word Nazi is offensive, but as I read you post, not surprising coming from someone of your demeanor. 

These “guards”, as you call them answer to someone other than you.  They have rules to follow from the people who employ them.  Your rude and insensitive name calling is uncalled for.  They are not county employees.  They work for a sub and are underpaid, in my opinion, work long hours, have no benefits and not many holiday, although some were added this year.

Subject: Thanks to the lady in post office at Pope’s Tru Value

Late Friday afternoon I went into the post office with a big box to mail and toddler in tow. I had scraped together some cash and stamps to send the box, but when I got to the counter I was still short.

Dismayed, I went back out to the car and looked for some more money/stamps, and went back inside. Another customer (who had also been there the whole time working on her own mailing) asked me if I had found what I needed, and I said, “It’s going to be close” (but knowing I probably didn’t).

Subject: WoodsRock III Music Festival moving indoors because of Irene

Don’t want to spend Saturday cooped up inside watching the progress of the hurricane all day long on the TV?

Come out to WoodsRock III indoor venue for a full day’s worth of live music.

The inevitable arrival of Irene has forced a change in the WoodsRock III location. We’re moving to our Woodland Grove home where we can listen to good music, eat good food, and have good fellowship with our community in the comfort of the great indoors!!!!

Subject: Chapel Hill Tire in Cole Park

Hello Chatlisters:

I feel compelled to rise to the defense of CH Tire-Cole Park as in today’s Chatlist a ‘lister cast aspersions on the veracity of their advice in a recent transaction.  My experience with them over the last three years has been excellent.  They find things now and then on my car and trucks and explain them thoroughly and are very upfront about how to deal (or not deal) with items they have found.

Subject: Wrought Iron Gem!

I love this place.  I just found out about “The Last Unicorn”.  We were looking for something for my husband to play with in his welding class.  We also “need” lots of yard art and a new mailbox post.  This was just the place for us. 

“Architectural Antiques, specializing in wrought iron gates and fencing, stained glass and other pretties.  It was an adventure just wondering around this place.  Its almost all outdoors.  Probably more than a acre.  Some pieces are as-is.  Some have been cleaned up.  He has this really neat octagonal building with a fire pit in the middle – the Meditation Room – open to any by appointment. And Lots more.  Cool!

Chris -

Happy to hear that you have been around for more than 60 years. Hopefully it means you are a man of some wisdom.

I am not so happy to hear that you feel that you and about two or four or six other people feel that you are entitled to ride what is essentially a 40 passenger limousine service that taxpayers had to pay $360,000 for.

Subject: public transportation & on the job training

To quote a recent chatlist post:

“Why is it my responsibility as a taxpayer to subsidize transportation for you to get to work? Should I also buy your food and pay your mortgage because your income is limited? Sorry, but I believe in personal responsibility and this belief that the nanny government is here to take care of you has gotten out of control.”
