Oh, I want to try!!!
There once was a Man from Nantucket Oops-wrong one...
Here goes:
There is a sweet Lady named Syl
Who is always true, wise and real
Just don't give her any lip
Or your butt she will whip
And it will take you a month to heal!

by ohiocowboy inwe have been up all night with the commotion going on here!
we let the dog out to potty at about 3:10 am, and all of a sudden we heard about 20 loud gunshot blasts.

Hi CBDeb! The area isn't too bad (Yet)! We keep to ourselves, and in general, we are left alone. The neighborhood we are in (El Tivoli) is in a nice little pocket, but surrounded by areas that aren't the best. On our street, everyone looks out for each other. The city is in the process of tearing down a lot of the apartments where the problems are, and they are going to put in bike paths, coffee shops and other nice things. The biggest part is staying out of harms way until this can be accomplished. We have thought of moving, but most areas are getting bad nowadays, and I have done so much to the house that I would hate to get rid of it. Eventually we would like to move to the country, but for now we have to stay put. It sucks that crime seems to be taking over so many areas!

Thank you for the replies! I just woke up from being up all night! The news still doesn't say if they caught the second gunman yet.
Hemp, at first I thought it was you having one of your WILD parties again!!! Yes, we get lots of shots around here. Most of the time it comes from the apartments that are lined along Plymouth. We don't really worry though as they seem to just be shooting up into the air to have fun. Last night was LOUD though, and we knew something big had gone down seeing the helicopter so soon with all the cops.
Donny, yes OC has some really nice looking areas. Overall we feel safe in our little Hamlet, but it has its share of problems. Still a fun place though.
Thank you also to ex-nj-jw, Purps, Sixy, Sylvia, Gerard, Lady Lee, Rebel8 for your concern and well wishes!!!!
Hopefully this will be all the excitement we get for awhile...

Purplesofa,
Thank you! We are good, and were more concerned about Chelsea getting back inside because we have had the occasional stray bullets hit houses on our street. Our next door neighbor recently found one lodged in his Doghouse, and we found a bullet on our roof a couple of months ago! We keep to ourselves, so usually are out of harm's way.
I hope they catch all the people so I don't have to worry about any loose in our area.

We have been up all night with the commotion going on here! We let the Dog out to potty at about 3:10 am, and all of a sudden we heard about 20 LOUD gunshot blasts. We got Chelsea back inside quickly, and within minutes the Police helicopter was above our house, and Sirens everywhere. Then Police showed up on our Street with their rifles drawn. They caught one of the murderers, but the others were still on the loose, and headed towards our street. One of the guys was in our back alley, and I was on the phone with the helicopter pilot telling him which way he went. I am not sure how many shooters there were total. Another cop with his rifle jumped our fence and cut through our backyard to get to the alley quickly. We locked ourselves up inside after that, only to occasionally peek outside to see what was happening!
Every week, there are gunshots in our neighborhood, and the helicopter is out usually once or twice a week, but this was a big deal this time! The helicopter was up over an hour and a half, and the cops only just left our street about 30 minutes ago. The news just came out with the story:

Here is a link to botched police raids on innocent people. Many times, the victims do not even get an apology.
And here is another...
It is really sad how so many abuse their authority.

In the New System, Poo will be perfect, and will have no contaminates, bacteria, etc. Therefore, it will have no odor. They will be perfect, uniform loaves. The inhabitants will be eating healthy, perfect foods, so any seeds and corn they will eat will come out and start growing into perfect little plants. Being in the perfect environment, they will be self fertilizing, and the fruits and veggies produced will be perfectly tasty and juicy.
And so will continue the perfect cycle...

Kudos to you for being so supportive of your Son!!! If more parents were like you, there would be far less depressed young ones in the world who are going through the same types of things. My Transgendered friends have been through a LOT, and have suffered things that I couldn't even imagine.
All the best with your interview tomorrow!

In Daytona Beach in the early 80's they had the same type of School. It was called the Palm School, and many of the kids in the different Congs. went. The teachers were Bros. and Sisters from the congs. too.
I was already out of School by that time, so I was not part of it though.
