help - need facts against proposed ordinance
Comments (33)Since I was looking up my city's laws regarding the burned house and weeds next door, I found this in the "health and sanitation" section: It shall be unlawful for any person to keep on such person's premises, within the corporate limits or police jurisdiction of the city any hives for the storage of honey or where bees live or breed. Apparently bee keeping is not allowed in the city limits. Besides this, the only thing I found that could have been used for your situation (if the laws of my city were the same as yours) was this: (The city has the right)...to move or demolish buildings and structures, or parts of buildings and structures, party walls and foundations, when the same are found by the governing body of the city to be unsafe to the extent of being a public nuisance from any cause. I don't know if harboring a hornet nest would constitute an unsafe structure in this context or not. I also found specific and numerous laws about dogs, cats, livestock. There was also an article in the paper about how last week's city council resulted in the passing of an ordinance which would allow for a $325 fine for having mowed grass on the street in front of your house. So apparently it's not uncommon to have a very specific law to address a very specific issue. None of that other vague wording is needed. Good luck with your procedure and I hope you have a great (hornet-free) weekend!...See MoreI just don't get it with TEXTING!
Comments (33)I love texting! I'm a middle-aged woman, but I text all my friends, and most of them know how to text back. We text little stuff, things we probably wouldn't make a phone call to talk about. "Clients were awful today. Calgon, take me away!" ... "Grace is driving me nuts. Want her to come live with you?" ... "Fajitas for dinner. Yum!" Texting does not isolate me. On the contrary, it connects me on a new level. It's similar to when email became popular. I got closer to my sister and my faraway friends, because email allowed me to say little things that I wouldn't have called or written to say. Same for texting, only moreso. I also use texting for simple exchanges of information. "We'll be late to gymnastics. There by 3:15." ... " "Will you bring the Mitchell file to court today? I need to copy some stuff." In the courthouse, everyone is texting. It saves so much time. For example, instead of running down the hall to another courtroom to look for a file, one of the D.A.'s will text the D.A. in the other courtroom. I've pretty much substituted text messages for voicemail messages, too. Most of my friends use their cell phones primarily or exclusively, and it's a lot easier to read a quick message than to have to dial into voicemail. (Speaking of which, as far as I can tell, young people don't use voice mail anymore. Young friends of mine complain when their mothers call and leave messages. "Why is she leaving a message? I can see she called on caller ID.") Just FYI, if you'd like to text someone but don't have texting on your cell phone (or don't have a cell phone), sign up for a Gmail account. It allows you to send SMS messages (that's texting) from your computer, just the same as an email. People can respond to you, too. I'm sure there are other services that do this, but Gmail happens to be the one I use. However you feel about texting, I think it's smart for anyone who has a child or grandchild to learn to do it....See MoreTexts, lies, and video editing
Comments (3)Wow....serious flashbacks! Dude I was exactly where you were 8 years ago...literally I could have wrote that paragraph, with a few details changed. By the time I got to where you are, and started being suspicious, she had in fact been having an affair for 9 months....shows you how perceptive I am I guess... When I finally confronted her with proof (more than just txt records, I had phone records and a call to the reservations desk of a local motel on a day I took the kids to a ballgame), she finally came clean...well sort of, she still lied about lots of sh*t during the process of trying to fix the marriage. For me, it didn't work out well...we worked on things for 3 yrs (I did anyway, I realized later her heart was not in it and she was just buying time), until she did it again and I pulled the plug on things. Now I am happily divorced, dating someone and raising my kids with 50/50 custody...life goes on, no matter what happens it will probably be for the best. But, to answer your question, yes she's totally playing you the fool. While spouses absolutely need some privacy, she's clearly just using this issue to deflect her obvious indiscretions. You need to sit her down and have a serious, serious talk to her. Not sure if you have kids or not, but she needs to understand that what she is doing is just wrong, and she needs to look at her self in the mirror and figure out if she wants to be in the marriage or not, because right now, you have nothing. And take it from someone who made a lot of mistakes in the process of trying to rebuild the trust....DO NOT make it about checking up on her, having access to her phone and email accounts, etc. Trust me on this...that will push her away further!! You need to try and re-connect with her, if you can, the trust will return, if you can't, then you end the marriage....it's really that simple. Be prepared for some real sh*tty days my friend, the voyage you are about to take is not fun. I wish you a better outcome than I had....See MoreFor Arkansasgardenboy, and anyone else interested
Comments (28)Kay H, I understand where you are coming from. I agree about your comment about reading it yourself and think one should and let the holy spirit help interpret it. I find it hard to understand however, that so many well known Christians(Ministers,Evangelists, etc.) have different enlightment experiences. Obviously the spirit was not with them at the time of reading. I think that is what AGB is saying "Just reading for the sake of reading has little value." But why so many denominations. I used to attend a Free Will Baptist Church and have since left. I could never quite agree with the notion that any clothing(shorts) above the knee is sinful. Not that they turned people away for this, but attire was specifically mentioned and adhered to at events such as Basketball in sweat pants for the Church team. I now attend a Baptist Church, which I enjoy. I know these are trivial issues in regards to the main issue of believing Jesus was the Son of God, but they always haunted me. Flowergirl, I have to say that looking for answers is the first step in finding what you seek. I wish you well on your journey. I too walk the same path....See Morelinaria_gw
