No News is **** News?!

Things have been relatively quiet in the park. Ballots continue to return to the attorneys' office. We've heard that some Canadian ballots were just delivered a few days ago, so returns will be slow. A few people have reported that they never received their ballots. These things will be corrected.

I admit, this blog has been deadly quiet for well  over a week. Reason One: There is no news to report. Reason Two: My cancer surgery last week knocked me right on my ass. Eat, Sleep, Recover.... PERIOD.

I occasionally viewed blog comments while under the spell of strong pain medication. (Too bad for you, Nasty People.)
Comments that come in attacking me were deleted on-the spot because this is MY BLOG, and I have the power to do so. There is no freedom of speech on my blog. If you don't like what I write, shut up already, don't visit here. I have tried to present both sides of the arguments presented. I posted all comments until they became so malicious and personal, I chose to delete them.

I haven't been out of the house very much since my surgery last week. I spent some time with our Maintenance Supervisor this afternoon trying to order new swings and hardware for our pavillion, to use up the grant money. When I walked to my car, I was quite literally accosted by one of Betty's Goons. "Why are you spreading LIES on your blog?"  To tell you the truth, I told him, I am so sick of the word "lies". Both sides of this squabble are throwing around "LIES" that its hard to determine what is real anymore.

We discussed--- no, I listened to this man's version of driving his car out to the Pelican Point. Apparently my sources LIED about what happened out there that night. Did he blow his horn? Did he shout to the folks at Sunset Point? I don't know. Do I give a damn? Hell No! I printed both versions... y'all can make up your own minds.  ( Chuck: WTF ?? Was your car out on Pelican Point or wasn't it? Everyone else in this Park knows the rules... what's wrong with you? The Pope could've been out there with you, I don't give a flying fig. YOU WERE WRONG!!) Shut up about everything else.. Bro, you are WRONG!  If I was Betty I'd tell ya, " Hey Chuck, please don't do me any "favors". Go home, put some blankets over your head and shut the hell up."

This isn't important. This is not an issue that we need to spend any time on. Our issue is the recall of the president of this park who has chosen to overstep her position as board president, and begin making decisions that our manager should be making.  Our president has been involving herself in too many day to day decisions of park. Its perfectly OK for the park Manager to go around and make decisions.That's why we hired her. The Board president, by our By-Laws, is the mouth of the Board of Directors. Our Board president has no authority to go around and make decisions on her own. We need a whole meeting to catch-up on Betty's recent decisions around the park.
 Let's get this over with now. Folks, Mark the X in front of the Recall, sign your name, date it, and mail it to the attorney... NOW!

This is your blog, but you informed me that there would be no vulgar language on it. What on earth are you doing?? Sounded like cussing to me. You won't post this, and I don't really care. And by the way, no one seems to be able to find this written "rule" that vehicles not be down at that point. It doesn't exist! Mr. Chambers even posted that he was with Mr. Davis and the accusations were false. Geez people, grow up and enjoy your retirement. This has all gotten beyond the point of ridiculous. I hope everyone turns in their ballots with a HUGE X on do not recall. Haven't seen anything that she has done that has caused such an uproar. Queen Nimon should have been recalled the first year she ran this place with all of her bobbleheads!

Like I said, you won't post this, but at least I know I said my piece.

Fooled you. I published it.

Regarding the rule about cars on the Point, what part of "road barriors" don't you understand? Apparently you were absent the day common sense was handed out.

What is Ellen Nimon doing in this discussion? What did she do her first year? Stay on the topic please.

It takes a big person to run for the board. Most of you complaining about the "old" boards did nothing but bitch...with no solutions. You didn't have the guts to run. You just sit back and complain. At least now, we have a solution. VOTE YES FOR RECALL. Baloney on the "Ha Ha". Minority puts on a big front. Good Bye Pres.

Quit trying to change the flight of the arrow....leave Ellen Nimon out of this. Its hard to believe that we have people in this paradise that havn't even been here 5 years, and they want to run the show.....without being on the board.....wow!

SANDY, WE ARE REALLY SORRY TO KNOW THAT YOU HAVE HAD SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES AND HOPE THAT YOU ARE NOW DOING WELL. I REGRET THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED NEGATIVE AND ABUSIVE COMMENTS FROM SOME PEOPLE WHO APPARENTLY ARE QUITE IGNORANT. I UNDERSTAND YOUR FEELING AS I STILL GET NEGATIVE COMMENTS FROM HAVING RUN FOR THE BOARD MANY YEARS AGO. ON THE ISSUE OF THE RECALL OF BETTY RIDGE I FEEL THAT SHE HAS NOT BEHAVED MUCH DIFFERENTLY THAN OUR PREVIOUS PRESIDENTS. MOST HAVE DONE WHAT THEY WANTED WHEN THEY WANTED.I FEEL THAT IT IS NECESSARY TO CONTINUE THE RECALL SINCE IT WILL SEND A CLEAR, LOUD MESSAGE TO ANY FUTURE BOARD MEMBERS THAT THE PARK WILL NO LONGER PERMIT ANY IMPROPER BEHAVIOR. WHAT BOTHERS ME MOST IS THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO WOULD FACE RECALL WOULD SING THE SONG "TAKE THIS JOB AND SHOVE IT". AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THE JOB OF THE PRESIDENT IS TO BE THE MOUTH PIECE FOR THE BOARD, RUN ORDERLY MEETINGS, SIGN CONTRACTS IN THE NAME OF THE BOARD AND TO BE A CONTACT FOR ANY OUTSIDE GROUPS OR PEOPLE WISHING TO CONTACT THE PARK. PRESIDENTS SHOULD NOT MAKE DECISIONS ON THEIR OWN AND CERTAINLY SHOULD NOT MAKE DECISIONS WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE WISHES OF THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE OF THE PARK. AS RESIDENTS OF THE PARK ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE DO IS ELECTING BOARD MEMBERS. PLEASE TAKE THIS JOB SERIOUSLY AND VOTE FOR THE PEOPLE WITH THE BEST QUALIFICATIONS.
