Better than a fence around the balcony, maybe they could put up a chicken wire fence around the council dais, honkey-tonk bar style. If the gallery is going to continue to act like uneducated white trash, perhaps the chambers should reflect that. Maybe put in a jukebox. One that features both kinds of music. Country AND Western.
It'll keep the rebels from wailing their empty Ensure cans from the cheap seats.
-- edited to add -- Even though it started out with a touch of humor, we could actually save money by asking a non-union bouncer or two to keep the peace [on a voluntary basis, of course]. It would save the taxpayers a.) the salary of varied union policemen, and b.) restore the peace of mind that no neighborhood is left unguarded by our boys in blue. However there may just be a tavern with a few extra brawls because we've snagged their muscle for one night a week.
AND what the hell - let's charge admission. Call it a 'cover charge' with a two drink minimum. Make the doomers pay double the cover charge to sit their hefty arses in the coveted balcony seats. After all - their favorite snipe is "pay to play" right? Marie Schumaker can dole out pieces of duct tape for four bits, as if they were 50-50 tickets. We'd be out of debt in NO time, because we all know these doomer losers can't pass up a cheap opportunity to win a buck or two. If the state would allow us toset up a lotto machine, we'd make up that deficit on Patilla and the rest of his missile-silo-guarding buddies alone.
On top of all the other duties, Kay can be in charge of the dice cup. What the hell, we have to sign in anyway - may as well make a buck there too. They can pretend they're signing in up the Taurus.

And the reason it is no big deal for the rabble to fall down after having to stand out in the cold on Thursdays is because you wouldn't have all that far to fall. Besides, it's getting warmer - no more bitching and whining about the chill in your old bones. And remember granny, don't sit down on the bare, cold concrete - you'll get the piles.
You know Girl ... my mother always said the same thing about cold concrete ... Now I'm thinking that the LO(a)D's have been quite cranky since they have been made to stand out in the cold ... maybe they sat down and got piles ... that would make someone quite cranky .... I know it would make me cranky.

Girl Cudos to you!

RE: JUDY: THE LYING PIG WILL DO ANYTHING TO ELECT HUBBY babymama wrote: talk and language like that is what gives this site and users a bad name and reputation Gives this site a bad name? (1) Like what kind of bad name? (2) If it is so bad WHY do we keep getting new posters? Why do so many people love this site? (3) What's the big problem if we post some { nasty words }? (4) If that is what you call the truth >>>>>>> Our posts are not half as bad as what Judy, Doherty, and the beloved Tax collecter is doing to our city and this is only a few of Doherty's cronies. As far as our reputations,,,,, we all have good reputations on this board. (5) More than I can say aboutANY~ of Doherty's pocket hangers.
Let me answer some of your question Granma...
(1) Yes, give this 'site' a bad name. That's what happens when you claim that people are having affairs, abortions, children out of wedlock, etc. Honestly, people will use this site to tell a blatant lie simply for the shock value. Jerry Springer would be proud. (2) How about 'lowlifes', 'douche-bags', 'thugs', 'idiots'? I could go on... (3) We strongly suspect that you don't have so many new posters...in fact, most of your posters never post. Some that do, such as 'Pilchesky's Brain on Drugs' are really existing posters just using a different name. (4) It's a big deal because it shows you for the ignorant, people that you are. An intelligent person uses logic and reasoning to make a point; Andy Sparaglia <sp?> is an example...he disagrees with the Mayor, but tries to use logic and common sense in his arguments. The vast majority of the DD/LoD crew is more interested in taking cheap shots than anything else. In essence, you just don't want to disagree with they Mayor and others...you want to HURT them...and you will rationalize that in any way possible (hence the comments about "...not half as bad as..."). (5) Yeah, that's right Granma, that's many of the posters at DD are city employees who post under assumed names. Real good reputation, huh?

When you talk to a child you talk in their language. Words they can understand. When you talk to an adult with a childs mind you also talk to them in that manner. Or else they don't understand. You have to add some color to your words,when talking to Judy or about Judy, that is how she thinks and talks and understands. Did I say she UNDERSTANDS ????????????????

Is it just me or does she actually make less sens than normal????? Just one question ... if we go on Granny's advice on how to speak to others ... then how would someone talk to Granma? Just wondering any thoughts or ideas on this post?????????????

Someone needs to up her prozac before she sits down at her keyboard again. She might have mixed up her prozac with the boy's viagara. Now he's all mellowed out and the old girl has a stiffy on her shoulders.

RE: QUESTION ON INITIATIVES AND TAXES We DO NOT need NCC. We are warned about scrounges as these....
(Note that I just pasted the first sentence...asking you to read the entire thing would subject me to sanctions under international laws governing torture.)
Anyway, but isn't 'scrounge' a verb, meaning to forage? I guess Granma is trying to make the point that the employees of NCC are actually nomadic hunter-gatherers.

This one speaks for itself. I'm sure Granma didn't win any spelling bees as a kid. I'm surprised DD's resident English teacher, NotADumbBlonde, hasn't offered the old lady some free tutoring. And what's with the tildes after every few words?

It's to a point now that I think the old girl does stuff like this on purpose. NO one can be that dense. After all, I've noticed she's taken to blatantly emphasizing her 'opion'.
Sam, the pencil in her mouth that she uses to hit the keys must automatically gravitate toward the tilde. Either that or she has chimp digits which she can't control very well.
I don't think either of them made it to the 6th grade ... maybe the third ... but then I'm not even sure that either of them made it quite that far ...

Note...my wife teaches third grade in the Scranton School District (and she managed to get a job without being a School Director no less), so I can assure you that some third graders are, in fact, better writers than Granma.

I have no doubt in my mind that just about all third graders are better writers than good old granny!

RE: Treehouse UNSAFE @ Nay Aug? I haven't been up to see it. [I don't leave the house very often] Only the picture in the paper. [I have only seen the treehouse in pictures provided in The Scranton Times, you know, the same newspaper that I boycott] I know nothing about building [or birth'n no babies or the English language for that matter] BUT it looks like it is on two by fours. Get some of those new wheel chairs and a few people and ............ I as a Tax payer [that's taxpayer] do not want to take responasability for it. It's all on Doherty's back. [It all really is on Chris Doherty's back...including the budget, Sewer Authority problems, condition of Scranton's roads, condition of the bridges over I81, the growth of Japanese Knotwood along roadsides in Pennsylvania, increased carbon dioxide in the atnosphere, Linday Lohan's probems with alcohol/drugs, the situation in Darfur, and the inability of REM to put out a truly good post-Bill Berry record] We the Tax payers only pay for his Whim. [Whim is an aftershave that the Mayor wears, so we really do pay for his Whim] Looks like if you are not handicapped when you go on it, you just might be as you are carried off. [Chris Doherty kills handicapped people on a regular basis] Does Doherty care? NO ! [Chris Doherty hates the handicapped, crippled children, puppies and kittens] Elderly and handicapped are no good to him. [Unless Chris Doherty needs a parking spot close the front of Walmart, then all of a sudden the elderly and handicapped are his FRIENDS!]

Ok ... now they need to make up their minds over across the hall because one minute they are saying that he loves the elderly because he's robbing their votes ... and now he does not like them and has absolutely no use for the elderly ... come on guys which is it?

I think Granma should just sit back with her banjo and Minnie Pearl hat and keep her yap shut. I have been to see the treehouse. It's going to be beautiful. Those asswipes make it sound as though Chris is going to have the handicapped children base jumping (wheelchair and all) from one platform to another.
Until the old girl rips herself away from her Packard Bell 386 and the newspaper she boycotts, and makes the trip to Nay Aug to see for herself, she should just shut her pie hole.
RE: Smoking ban crap If Seitzinger want's to play cops so bad, why don't they pay him like they pay the Police that have the right to write tickets? It's a shame that Chicks has to pay lawyer fees because someone that is not legally able to write tickets did. I still would like to know his badge number. Even being appointed by Doherty does not give him the rights of a Police officer. Maybe someone should tell them you have to go to school to be an Officer, and pass the tests. Then be sworn in by a judge. Then have common sense.
__________________ A government for all the people, not just "Those who matter."
I do not believe that Mark Sitezinger is looking to be a police officer ... he is doing as he was instructed by his "boss" that's right he has a boss ... to do ... enforce the smoking ban ... like it or now it is the law in Scranton ... you all make is seem as though he went out and just made an arbitrary decision to wite the citation against Chicks --- that is not at all what happened and you all know it!!!
Now if they had the Police Officers running around citing people for smoking ... well you all would be bitching about that because who the hell would be protecting the streets ... making them safe for all of you!
From the very beginning I think that Council made it quite clear that it would not be the police department that would be enforcing this particular law ... I do believe that in the very beginning they had indicated that it would be the health inspector and well since we only have one (how come yer not bitchin about the fact that we only have one health inspector) that other department heads and city officials would be responsible for enforcing this law. I clearly remember that because the Doomers were bitchin about the fact that the police are underpayed and overworked as it is ...
Obviously Granma does not feel this way .... ok I'm done with my rant.

paraphrased from the old girl when someone mentioned the dreaded "Com Cast"
::: Deleware, I am glad you brought Com Cast up. I posted about the problem I was having. And SOME people that are in such a hurry to put me down and can't read have said, I must have alot of money to pay $300.00 a month for cable. I WAS NOT paying $300.00 a month if they READ right. ...{ I have to add it was NOT posters from our board that can't read, just ignorant childish stupid ~ people. } ... :::
Well gosh darn it all to heck and back again ... the old girl does tiptoe around over here. And apparently, it's her "opion" that we are stupid and childish and ignorant. Well done Granma - you got them all spelled right. But you misunderstood OUR posts - we didn't say you had a lot of money - we implied that because you paid soo much money for cable, you were stupid. Now go aun an git back up them there steps and pick that banjo to BITS. Go on now ... GIT !!! and take your bloodhound with you
I think this is actually the first time they've acknowledged this board - leave it to granma and her comcast rants.
I did see that post girl .... and she's the one who stated that she paid that bill of $300 ... now how stupid is she ... I read it ... I can read ... and I can spell and I can comprehend what I read ... and you know what ... I found that those posts about the old girl were my absolute all time favorite ... I do not think I ever laughed harder at anything in a long time.
Granma you should be flattered ... I just love you ... and all of your little granmaisims ... keep making me laugh ... I'm your number 1 fan!
