I resolved to take a day off. Yesterday was frenetic. Two or more streams of thought evolved running alongside each other.
I have washed the dishes ,wiped off stove and counter tops and swept the kitchen floor.
I can work on the computer without seeing the kitchen but I feel better knowing it's tidy.
If someone knocks on the door I don't need to worry about their impression of my lack of organizational skills as a housekeeper. Those who come into my house without knocking are already aware of my housekeeping deficits. They don't care either.
I don't make coffee. Coffee is brought to me.
I resolved to have the last word on the Petch House yesterday Tim the Enchanter got a bit lippy.
Well it's my blog. If I didn't write it he would not be so well informed. I'm not about to let anyone push me around in my own blog.
He's not the boss of me.
Comments turned positive after the "last word" and I had to respond.
The troll under the bridge who comes out regularly and sighs and yawns and complains about me and the blog being boring ,tedious, repetitious and non-factual came out again.
You would think she would just stay under the f--ing bridge when light on a subject is obviously a problem for her.
Now the words "rude , crass and unbecoming " will be added to the list of my failings.. Narcissistic
is another favorite. Apparently there is no sense of self which is probably the reason no name is attached.
"If I don't tell, it means you can't prove I'm real and you can't pin anything on me"
It's odd how the name of Christopher Watts upsets some. David Heard seems to have the same effect in quarters.Most communities have room for personalities. Aurora does too. It just seems some people can't help getting knickers in a twist if things don't stay carefully arranged to create an exact picture of equanimity.
Ev....I love your Blog!!
ReplyDeleteThere are a few buttons that set your creature off. The Centre, the Historical Society, the Heritage Heist and the south-east heritage grab are just the tip. I get a kick out of it ordering people, including yourself, around. Today somewhere it was demanding Mr Watts to put up or shut up. Like what is that ? An Anonymous is unable to issue orders - we are as substantial as wisps of smoke.
ReplyDeleteBut, 14:27, mere "wisps of smoke" shouldn't prompt so much reaction. Apparently, as the saying goes, 'where there's smoke, there's fire.'
ReplyDeleteHee, hee!!
ReplyDeleteCHRISTOPHER
has a NEW article !
Not lippy Ms. Buck.
ReplyDeleteJust frustrated.
As another poster mentioned, there was a time when you yourself wanted to ditch the Petch House.
But as you say, it's your blog and you have the right to the last word.
But I, and perhaps others, remain frustrated at the "Hey, we got the money, we may as well spend it" attitude that seems to serve as the Town's guiding fiscal policy.
And while I do find your blog informative it's not my sole source of information.
Chris Watts' blog is quite informative as well.
In particular, in my opinion at least, he's done good work on the goings-on regarding the AHS and the Cultural Centre.
On-line minutes from Town meetings can be useful as well although not the easiest to navigate.
Even the Auroran has the odd helpful bit from time to time.
Keep up the good work!
Mr Tim
ReplyDeleteI hope you will not insist on throwing out the baby with the bathwater. It might be that Petch is do-able in terms of getting Council to produce one positive project before the end of term. It is also financially viable and could be accomplished within the community, by people resident here and at a reasonable price. The Senior Centre idea has possibilities.
But, it is an election year and sanity seems to have fled the table. They might not agree on a single item.
Your troll loves to use big words to try to intimidate those who try to comment. There is seldom anything contributed except cold, analytical, text-book stuff. It happens sometimes that the switch for empathy is missing.
ReplyDeleteThis was a day off ???? Wow !
ReplyDeletePerhaps your troll could offer you some reason why he/she feels competent to advise you on how to handle your Blog ?

ReplyDeleteNo there is nothing new there, just trying to help him reach the goal to get a new gold star.
...and maybe even a comment, 14:00?

ReplyDeleteBut there is something new there...........
