Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Success! the village clerk has agreed to read my letter out loud before the whole village for me tonight to ensure that all board members hear from me. I wrote a lengthy two page letter. I edited and edited so that my main points came through. phew! I hope it makes a difference.
sorry, that still doesn’t make me envy you! nothing i want to eat for free badly enough in either Ytown or Altoona!
have the village clerk also issue a BIRTHDAY PROCLAMATION while he’s at it!
But I’ll be relaxing in the water Wednesday and you won’t.
i have a tub! LMAO!
but because i am a nice person i will pray for nice weather for your tub sitting in altoona, bc i know we have storms predicted for this week here.
no good will come from this in the end....
How nice of you. The forecasts have been all over the place for the last few days. I don’t mind an “afternoon thundershower” but don’t want an all-dayer.
If his lips were moving, he was lying.
i know what you mean. FL is alwaYs good for a random shower which is never terrible bc it’s there then gone, but the prospects of a rainy day at a water park are always kind of sad. we’ve done it though, so long as no storms.
you will keep them til you no longer can and then you will no longer have them and it will be socialized medicine.
Several members of the AMA booed him. I’m certain they were taken away to re-education camps.
Even if it’s cloudy and muggy, the water should feel good. I just don’t want it to be too cold that you don’t want to get in.
ABC 7 First Alert Forecast High pressure to the north will allow for an easterly wind tomorrow and Wednesday. Look for clouds to increase late Tuesday as cooler temperatures move in midweek. Highs will go from near 80 degrees to only 70 with a warming trend by Friday and into the upcoming weekend. Along with the heat, look for increased humidity and dew point levels for the meteorological start of summer on Sunday.
yeah, well medicaid and medicare pts cannot pick their own doctors....the doctor I have does not take pts with those plans.......and I like my doctor....a LOT. what if my doctor doesn’t take this new plan? the whole thing stinks.
i wish it would have been a rousing chorus of boos/
socialized medicine will become just like social security is now......an albatross and a money cow for the fed gov to reap more money out of us.
i can’t seem to get the link to go to the Altoona weather, but that is what i cut and pasted in there. it is supposed to cool off. can you reschedule maybe?
No, these are the days I put in to have off. Not much I can do about it. There’s a regular amusement park there, too, if it’s too cold.
And it should be fine tomorrow for the baseball game.
And it’s weather. It can always change.
