Hey Lawrence Larry Watson, perhaps you should send your YouTube "Although we all seem different" song/video, to the racist American hating Reverend, and ummmm, maybe practice what you preach to those children you so love.

Mav; You don't really think many of us read all this crap do you? Myself and others pop in for a laugh here and there, there is no wading involved. I too am entitled to my opinion whether you like it or not. I find the ridiculous to be quite humorous.Speaking of ridiculous,I also remember another humorous moment one day at a boat race. The almighty Captain couldn't seem to maneuver his craft to throw anchor. The other boaters sat and watched hysterically, as he circled time and time again. The big off Cape dog wasn't so big after all. Dang those currents eh?;)
Well anyway, I wish you all a wonderful holiday. I'm off to FL for the winter to spend BS's $5,000 on gas for my boat. Jack C., I shall miss your thought provoking, instigating blogs. Peter, Thanks for the education on our native neighbors. Buzz, keep up the reality checks ;) BLT, you are a hoot!:)It's been real, and thanks for the use of the hall.

BS; Sorry, I didn't feel I needed to contribute any more of my hard earned dollars to welfare this year to provide you with an extra 5 grand. One has to wonder why our tax dollars pay for some people to attend CCCC, yet they still can't support themselves like the rest of us. Then we pay for their kids to have kids and so on and so forth.It is a shame you don't get paid for all the time you have to do all this conspiracy research.You would think the Court TV site and this one, would take your hours of blogging seriously.

Cru;The obvious reason for the Times deleting posts, is the fact they don't tolerate you and BS making insane comments. Now you say you do this for Christa. You're writing her story????You were branded crazy, long before CM murdered Christa.I know this from reliable Truro sources whom I cannot name.Their lives could be in danger if I were to reveal their identity, and then they might have to flee the Cape.
Please, you did not even know the woman let her RIP.

In response to: Patriotism-Where Is It?
President Roosevelt cont.
“Let us say to the immigrant not that we hope he will learn English, but that he has got to learn it. Let the immigrant who does not learn it go back. He has got to consider the interest of the United States or he should not stay here. He must be made to see that his opportunities in this country depend upon his knowing English and observing American standards. The employer cannot be permitted to regard him only as an industrial asset.

“We must in every way possible encourage the immigrant to rise, help him up, give him a chance to help himself. If we try to carry him he may well prove not well worth carrying. We must in turn insist upon his showing the same standard of fealty to this country and to join with us in raising the level of our common American citizenship.

Now there is some American History worth repeating.

In response to: State Unmoved by Dr. Gryboski's Clean Bill
Ya know Crusader, all resort areas are just that. They do not have much employment outside of hospitality and medical. Therefore, people choosing to live in resort areas, either can afford to work the local jobs, acquire their own biz, commute or move to the area when they retire. Common sense. It is not up to anyone to provide you with jobs to your liking. Live where you can work and afford to live. It always amazes me the Brazilians come here, work their arses off, save every dime, purchases houses, start their own businesses, some go to college nights,( gee, that's what I did too and generations of immigrants before me) yet you people cry cry cry. Get over your sad selves. No one owes you anything. The beauty of the Cape is, that it is what it is. Take it or leave it. Quit acting so damn jealous and hateful, because you couldn't make it here. Enjoy your life in Somerville and get passed your failure on Cape Cod.

In response to: Surprise write-in candidate: guess who
Salon you will have to read the article as I couldn't post the whole page fromk Marine News here.
"Though Friedman said the Stolen Valor Act has given law enforcement officials “the tools they need” to prosecute phonies by including language so broad that “even making false oral "claims can be actionable,” cases such as those of Marshall and Foxx illustrate the leeway fakers still have under the law."
12/08/07 @ 10:18 am
susan [Member]
In response to: Surprise write-in candidate: guess who
There are 50 ongoing investigations into alleged violations of the Stolen Valor Act, according to a Sept. 7 report on National Public Radio.

And the growing backlash against fakers isn’t limited to those who are committing crimes. Former Lance Cpl. Glenn Marshall, 57, of Mashpee, Mass., hasn’t broken the law under the Stolen Valor Act, but was forced to step down as leader of the Mashpee Wampanoag Indian tribe after embellishments about his service in Vietnam were exposed by newspapers in Cape Cod, Mass., and New London, Conn.

Marshall never claimed unearned awards, but during his push to gain federal recognition for his tribe, he publicly touted himself as “a hero of Khe Sanh” to reporters, politicians and government officials.

How sad he will not be punished under the Stolen Valor Act. What a slap in the face to all, including the Wamps that did serve proudly for this country. This slime ball keeps slipping under the radar, but for how long before his luck runs out? I hope he takes all his supporters with him when he does go down.Every last one of you!

Somebody has to pay for the Free Care participants Peter. Next time don't speak anymore English than the words "Free Care." They will page the on call translator, have you fill out a form, and bingo, that $850 bucks will be paid for by the rest of us.

Wow Jack, I have to give it you, you are great at creating controversial posts! I'd have to say as a guardian of a child, no, absolutely NO! I would not allow this. Who would take such a chance with a child's well being? It would not bring her mother back. I am sure even without reliving the murder scene, this child may have much to deal with psychologically as she grows up. Hopefully she will have all the love and support she will need.

Oh Ya, this makes sense. Hair tips??? Then you copy and paste a quote from a Blog post discussing a Red Sox game.

This post was concerning an Alzheimer's patient who was missing , and sadly, later discovered deceased.
Some found Ted's post offensive, which yes it was inappropriate, but I doubt it was intentional. Perhaps an unthinking quick finger to the keyboard.
You on the other hand;

I enjoyed your post Katie :)Especially your comment on not being able to afford ins and not buying CD's etc. Bravo!
I pay my health ins (BBS of MA) out of pocket. The new plan worked out at $100 less a month and $5 bucks off my $15 copays, no deductible on hospitalization, same drug bennies. No dental.So,on the Ma plan instead of $875 a month,I pay $775 a month $9,300 per year plus copays. A wonderful tax write off. I'd really like to be a legal pot farmer and get govt. subsidies for when the rain drowns my crop, or the drought makes it wither, or they pay me not to grow, or buy me out ;) Any of those ought to cover my health insurance bill and also supply me with a less harmful drug than my present legal prescriptions!!!! :)

I have to say it is easier going off Cape at non peak hours, but at the tune of 60 mil, I was happy with the rotary. I would rather have had some of that money go into the Rt. 6 Eastham/Wellfleet "suicide alley" extention.

Weekend commuters I speak with tell me Rt. 3 to 6 is still congested (as in bumper to bumper). They still have to travel at off peak time to avoid the traffic back ups and as one friend put it, "60 million hasn't changed the driving habits of idiots" :)

"Why would God reward scientific research that violates one of the ten commandments?"
Thou shalt not kill; < what a crock
Does your God reward us for killing thousands of men, women, children in wars? Does he reward us for all the scientific research for weapons to fight those wars?
Oh ya,I forgot, it's ok to kill those of a different religious belief.I can't wait to see God's reward for Iraq.(rolling eyes)

Wow legal calm down. Not all of us sit here and stare at the screen with nothing better to do. Had I known you were waiting for my answer, I surely would have dropped everything for you ;)

Let me put it to you this way Legal, if my sister or daughter, had been murdered I would not have thought twice about having the murderer (s) and accomplices killed. If they tortured him first, all the better. How about you had it been your daughter? Say a few prayers for the murderer and call it even?

Awwww, the squirrels have to eat too ya meanies !
You might try hummingbird feeders too. I hang two on my porch.(don't add red food coloring, it's bad for them) For some reason I had tons of them this season, and they didn't leave until 1st week of October. They aren't timid in the least. I sit on the porch and they come right up to me before hitting the feeders. I found I get a lot more species in winter by hanging suet blocks and a variety of seeds and I keep water out there for them year round. A beautiful Japanese crab apple fed the robins all winter, but Noel took two pines down and crushed the Crab apple. Wild honeysuckle has berries they seem to love too. I'm off to FL, this winter and will miss my birds & critters here. I already do, as I had to stop feeding them , so they would find a new source :( Maybe they found their way to your yards :)

Diana;
There were no Indian battles or famine. The early 1800s were a prosperous time for Cape Cod with shipping, ship building, whaling, fishing, salt, farming etc.I would imagine there were plenty of characters with stories to tell. The train came to Cape Cod in 1887. Lincoln was 17 years old. The train brought the wealthy summer people and the resort area began.Ptown became an art community. Nature itself, was why they came. Reality.

I wonder how the wet leaves, blinding rain, falling branches, high winds,flooded roads, will effect the teens that are riding their dirt bikes across main roads of Harwich this morning, deep into the conservation land and back again... over and over. Will the parents sue the driver that slides on the leaves trying to stop their car from hitting them as they dart across the road? Maybe the town for the tree that falls on them in the woods.

I'd be interested in hearing how you would know if someone is a blogger or not when booking a charter. Heck, you really don't know if someone is a blogger docked beside you.
My penance??? lol... again you are too funny! Are you now the Priest of the high seas?
I enjoy most of your posts Mav. Seeing I do have a mind of my own, I just don't always agree with you. Such is life.
See you on the water Mav , enjoy the weekend. ;)

BS
Here is another FACT just for you; I have not stated my opinion on guilt or innocence. I was not present at the murder scene. Had I followed the trial in person, I would have made an opinion on the FACTS presented in the trial.

The comments you continually spew on the case, is simply blogarrhea.

When you actually do know something we don't, and can back it up with FACTS as in proof, by all means BS, do tell the world.
10/31/07 @ 10:09 pm
The state of things I posted on, was your plea for tolerance and decency, toward the Manson2. The reality is, you expect others to kowtow to the two most obnoxious, rudest, disrespectful, rancorous, fruitless gossips on this site. If you want to claim you don't see the irony in your statement, well, that is your freedom. But, the rest of us do have eyes wide open. The other ironic statement is preferring the truth. Unless you and the Manson3 are talking to Christa daily, you really don't know if it was consensual now do you?>>>> FACT
What is with the Mask comments anyway Mav? Paranoid? Last I knew this was a blog. I don't see posters pics, bios on profiles next to their names here. Are you confusing CCT with AOL ? The only ones unmasked are the authors of blogs and those that promote their biz on the site. Personally, I don't see personal opinion blogging, as always being the best advertisement for ones biz nor ones employer. Sometimes yes, but most often no. Happy Halloween to you Mav :)
10/31/07 @ 9:00 pm

quahog;lol call us imbeciles eh? ummmm duhhhh, have you ever read your own constitution? Obviously not..............
"Another difference between the 1989 and 2004 constitutions is that the voting age increased
from 16 to 18 years old. The 2002 membership list shows there were 1,232 members over age
16 in 2004 and eligible to vote under the previous constitution. Fifty of the 1,232 were between
the ages of 16 and 18. By changing the voting age in the 2004 constitution those 50 voters who were 16 -18 years old, lost their voting rights for the next 2 years."
10/15/07 @ 7:23 pm
Don't sorry me Quohog, those are the figures in black and white the tribe gave to the fed govt. for recognition.I didn't write it, your tribe did. I find it funny some of you don't have a clue what is even in that report. Then again, GM was a shock to you too...ya right.
10/15/07 @ 12:49 pm
According to the 2004 constitution as stated in the tribal recognition report, there were 1,232 voters. I would imagine that number has increased with more members reaching the voting age, than the number that have deceased.

The point is BS, all of our ancestors in many countries, had land, lives, etc., taken from them. Many by the same English that came to America. Some countries endured this long before America and long after. Shall I call home to my clan in Ireland, tell them to get our land back from the Spanish and English and we can build a casino? Reality bites, but life goes on. I am not getting anything I did not earn.I don't ask for anything I did not earn. Are you?

Ya know, the present day Mashpee are no different from the rest of us. No one handed any of us land. We all work the same jobs for what we have. Our kids go to the same schools. We shop in the same stores. It is 2007, not 1700. Many of us share the same blood. Yes, many Mashpee today are not 100% Indian any more than many who claim being Irish. How many tribes today are in business, like any other corporation? We are NOT so different as some portray here.

I said I wonder if he will discuss the coal plant (s) actually. Obviously if I know about the Navajo and Desert Rock, I know he is against it. Evidently his wind and solar plans, the increase in electric bills, are still not enough to make the plant plan obsolete today. The Navajo, still see it as a good financial investment, for many years to come. Sad but true.

Hi Dan, thanks for sharing your story with us. I for one, knew nothing of dwarfism until I began watching the Roloff's. I am looking forward to the new season. The show is fantastic. Not too many shows can bring laughter and tears in one episode. I normally oppose reality shows, but I applaud Matt and Amy for letting us into their lives, and educating all of us. I get the biggest kick out of Matt and Amy and their opposite views of the farm lol I grew up in a similar situataion after my dad purchased a farm lol The medical complications related to dwarfism were shocking to me, I had no idea. Meredith Eaton is an amazing actress, with quite an impressive background. I was sad to hear of her husbands death. I am happy to hear Becky is doing so well after such a tough start in life. I wish her much happiness and good health. I am purchasing your book, and will pass it on to others. Best wishes to you and your family.

They don't know where the contamination/cause is. It could also be from pesticides used in cranberry bogs for instance. Hopefully the studies to be released the first of the year will shed some light. Then again it may remain a mystery just like breast cancer clusters on Cape Cod. I haven't seen people stop building next to bogs on Cape Cod, knowing pesticides are used. Who knows what has been dumped years ago in your own lovely backyard ?

Having quickly read the article and the highlighted pages, the first thing I did was google Mr. Lynch. All I came across was the same article mentioned above. It would seem to me, a credible hired gun, would have have pages of case numbers, along with some back ground info.I came back this morning hoping to see some positive, educational response. Thank you wôpanâshqâ for your brief posting containing the history as you know it. I will say, I find the constant racism remarks, the references to all that are not Native American being blamed for the Indians plight in this country quite negative. I don't see how these remarks benefit your people. You too are benefiting the rewards this country has in present day, same as we people of many different ancestries. I don't see many people of any race living off the land too often these days. Many of our families also endured many years of the same evils you did here in America.

You have two sides to a contract, and lawyers for 2 sides. Somewhere along the way, the Mohegans agreed to the contract. So how is it now the investors fault that the Mohegans signed the contract? Say, I am buying a business. I work with my lawyer over the contract, come to an agreement on terms and I sign it. Down the road I believe I got screwed. Do I take responsibility for my poor judgment, my decision, or blame someone else?

It appears to this "white man" that the Binghams are the only ones in this tribe, standing up and trying to do something about the present criminals running the tribe. I don't understand why other tribe members are not taking action against their corrupt leaders. Is the whole tribe against the Binghams? If so why? I am not saying they are right or wrong, because I do not know. The word "appears" is the key word here and us "white men" aren't seeing anything from tribal members, to give us another view.

Migratory birds do fly over Nantucket Sound. You don't really think the birds follow that red line like we follow a white line on the highway do you? Not only that being a point, so is weather,wind,food, and resting areas, a factor in their flight. You are beyond ridiculous Jack. Have you been on a plane that changed course due to weather? Have you ever been on a boat that altered course due to weather conditions? Have you been on the highway and gotten off for food or a rest at a motel? Hmmmm isn't that off course? Birds eat and sleep too, on Cape Cod, on Nantucket and On Martha's Vineyard, by way of Nantucket Sound.

I don't know if any of you are familiar with the Downvind Project =Distant Offshore Windfarms with no Visual impact IN Deep Water. Downvind is Europe's largest renewable energy program. Talisman Energy working with Downvind, installed 2 deepwater demonstrator towers this past July along side their Beatrice project in Scotland. Quite an interesting project. They do not and will not know the impact on migratory birds, until studies are completed on the standing project. I find that interesting as, here in the sound, the towers aren't up, yet people say it will have no effect on the birds due to studies on sites in Europe. My take is, no one knows what the impact would be, before towers are placed in bird migration areas. Even despite extensive studies in Europe, mapped migration, they still cannot predict the impact wind towers will have on migratory birds.

A right now solution you ask; everyone give up their vehicles and buy a horse ;)
I once met a tree hugger by a lake in VT. She arrived in an very old gas guzzling , polluting, old Ford pick up, with her kayak. We were camping near the waters edge. She proceeded to lecture us on proper camping and not using soap to bathe in the river. Mind you, she had no evidence that we had, or even intended to. I looked at her truck and asked her how much carbon monoxide that thing was expelling into the air, and how much fuel did it burn. Her reply "well I had to get my kayak here. I don't believe in motorized boats, they pollute the waters."

Good Morning Delta, thanks, I did do some reading on the matter previous to asking the question. It totally confused me lol The US Court of Appeals did rule Indian Tribes are subject to Federal Labor law in Feb of 2007. "Tribal sovereignty is not absolute autonomy, permitting a tribe to operate in a commercial capacity without legal constraint," said the opinion written by Judge Janice Rogers Brown. This came out of a Union filing. There is a 23 page report if I can find it when I have more time to play google.

$35,000 plus health insurance, in some cases tips and bonuses, is a lot more than many people right here on Cape and elsewhere are making now. How about those who are not working and receiving welfare? Minimum wage reaches $8.00 an hr 1/08. Most likely there will also be benefits such as holiday pay. How many service jobs on Cape provided year round employment equal to this? Besides CCH which our residents stand in line to get in for minimum wage service jobs, so they will have year round employment and benefits. You will also have outside casino jobs created in other businesses. Self employment, will rise for those with the ideas and ambition. As far as Harvard, where there is a will there is a way. Not everyone's parents pay for their education Peter. Harvard happens to have many programs, grants, scholarships, financial aide and programs to those under the 40,000 mark. Harvard also has funds to provide for books and other needs. The school actually reaches out to those of limited income by recruiting at high schools.

I watched Susan Tucker the other day. I don't buy this theory of it not being new revenue. One has to look at the big picture. I also think the gambling addict card is pretty ridiculous, when alcohol is legal. Really, think about the effects of alcohol on society. Abused women and children, and yes men also. Traffic deaths, peoples income spent sitting in bars or the corner liquor store. What does alcoholism cost the state? How about all the people that cross the border to buy cheaper booze in NH? Ahhh, but that's ok, just don't bring any gambling addicts in to compete with the alcoholics eh? In case your wondering, I don't drink nor gamble. Ok, I admit to playing the occasional pull ticket at the Elks club when my soda water is getting warm lol

The people who should suffer, are those that are indeed the crooks that have been robbing the tribe and those that have backed them (and still do) in their endeavors. Not me, not Peter, or news-gal . In my opinion, I do think the tribe will rid themselves of these crooks and their followers. Every last one of them. Then I wonder what some of these followers/supporters will be posting. Will they be playing the victim card from jail cells?

Good morning keesuq
You were hostile in the post I originally responded to. Then claimed to be sensitive and changed your attitude in the posts that followed. Sadly, now you are back at it again.
My people had a plight of their own which lasted from 1667-2005. I do understand the plight of the Native Americans. I support the quest of the Native Americans to regain what was theirs and I support the casino. You are attacking people that are on the tribes side here. That chip on your shoulder attitude, is not helping you gain support from those that oppose you. Perhaps you might read up on public relations instead of watching Judge Judy.
09/12/07 @ 7:36 pm
wamp-pride, thank you for answering.
The only hostility I see here is from keesuq's statements. I just don't think Keesuq is doing the tribe any favors touting past history with the white man, and the mother earth approach certainly is a contradiction.
I am for the casino. I feel it will benefit many people and businesses from all walks of life. Sometimes while pondering the grand scheme of things, I have brilliant ideas for new businesses, Perhaps retiring at 48 was too soon! I should come out of retirement lol The opportunities are endless. Everyone needs to work together on this, as it will benefit all. Can we sing "We Are The World" now? *wink* :)

A simple response said in jest with a smile:) got a reply that was a personal attack to myself and fellow Codders.The personal attack continued from CCFantasyland, but I don't see you sending "fantasy" to the corner.At least I preceeded my personal attack with "now to get personal". Ohhh, is that how you discovered it yet missed CCfantasylands? lmao Perhaps you like being slapped in face with "I spend my money here" but most of us do not. My original comment was one we all say daily, including you without doubt. So get over yourself. What is your stake in this? Do you have a rose covered cottage your trying to sell? How will I ever survive without those fish recipies from a landlocked state.... dang. It's been real, thanks for the use of the hall :)

lmao this of course was the expected response from one who needs to inform us, we need their money.Get of your high horse and note my defense of those who do make a living on tourism when your righteous self threw your money at them in a way that said they owe you. You just don't get. You are one of the tourists with the condescending attitude. You made it personal bringing your money to the discussion.Like you are the reason we wake up every day , so we should smile and bow graciously to tourists. There are some fabulous folks that come visit here. However, they are not the ones who tell us how they spend their money here, and make our lives a living dream.I worked many a tourism jobs in my day,and I still occasionally work to help out at friends and my families establishments when they are in a bind. You have no clue. Maybe we will make a personal sign just for you this Labor Day to hang off the rt 6 bridges. You have seen those signs haven't you? Counting the days, the signs, complaining about tourists, it's all a part of living on Cape Cod. Something you will never understand.

Nothing personal , it is a way of life for us to count the days. Same as you count the days getting here, we count the days until your all gone.Our world changes instantly overnight, from a quiet almost rural setting to a friggin city. It's like the Twighlight Zone live.Now to be personal; The one thing that really gets my panties in a wad, is a tourist touting the ol' we spend our money so you can have... Well let me tell ya, I, myself, do not need nor depend on tourism to survive . I would rather drive 50 miles to dine out, grocery shop, go to a gallery etc. Hell I'd pay higher taxes. Just because you spend money here does not mean biz owners nor employees need to be reminded you do, or should bow down to you, because you do. When and if you live here, you too will be counting the days when you too, can exit the Twighlight Zone "There is a 5th dimension...."

I hate driving through that section in summer.I have seen people actually race to get ahead of another care before it turns to one lane. Most pick up speed once you hit exit 9. I have even seen people cut through the rest area at high speed to get ahead of a slower moving car.Extending the 2 lane portion just made the "race" a little longer and a little more dangerous with cars coming off the last exit ramp.I never understand peoples thought process when you know it's one lane all the way to the Orleans rotary, and you can see all the one lane traffic up ahead of you. So , how do they figure they will get there any faster?

Now why would there be a word saying anyone hated men? *rolling eyes*
Opposite of misogyny is misandry.

It's not about women??? When was the last time a man carried a child and gave birth, miscarried, or had an abortion? Let's just suppose a man could carry a fetus. So, he decides to have an abortion for what ever reason, but they are once again illegal. His option would be a coat hanger inserted through his penis by untrained persons, unsanitary conditions, the chance of dying, bleeding to death, infection, as this coat hanger is shoved through his delicate penis trying to grab the fetus etc.Do I hear an ouch? So, you are saying it would not be about men. Isn't this man carrying the fetus a life?Is he a dead alien or something vs a life???

Please don't flatter yourself that you have the power to bring on any emotions besides laughter.Are you not the same person that was so angered you wanted to protest and boycott???? We haven't heard anymore on that since you were deemed "silly"
Demo you seriously need to read posts several times prior to replying, as you are not comprehending what is said.( not on just this post, I see a pattern with all your posts) The funny stuff is you ranting nonsense. The questions I asked you, which you could not answer,point to the fact you have not a clue about what you are talking about. Not only don't you have answers, the points I brought up never entered your mind, the author of the blog. DUH..Of course they are good questions,common sense.Lay offs,closures happen every day.You never have an answer to anyone's questions in replies to these posts you come up with.Authors posting a blog on an issue & people protesting normaly have some background/research at the least common sense, before they open their mouth.bye bye

Do you happen to know how many of those 130 people who you say lost their jobs,will be moving or commuting to Middleboro? Do you happen to know how many employees have advanced since the take over and how many have moved on to open the new stores?How many of the 130 have taken other positions right here on Cape with the company? My guess is you don't know shit, but carry on if you must.However,you might try some LSD. Protesters on drugs have made more factual and sensible statements than you do.

Everyone does have the choice to work mindless, low paying jobs, or to use their mind, push themselves to better employment.Be it through education, or utilizing skills learned on the job and starting a business themsleves.There are so many resources today, that were not there when I decided to take night courses and work 2-3 jobs at times to support myself and pay for school.All it takes is the will and determination to want out of the dead end job cycle, and not think the country, state, or Cape Cod owes you a better living.No one owes you a better life. Life is what YOU make it.I know several people right here on Cape who raised their kids and went to college in their 40's.There is no age limit and no excuse. You are only what YOU allow yourself to be.

They found their niche in the humble beginings on 6A, worked harder than most can even imagine and deserve to enjoy the bounty of their success without their fellow neighbors dragging them through the mud.Thank you for all your efforts in providing Cape Cod with a much needed affordable retail business, and employment for so many people through all these years. Hat's off to you both ! :) Susan

Dear Dear Demo, is that all you can come up with for an opening response?lose/loose ???? lmfao You are pathetic. My opinion was on your stupidity over boycotting stores and you ignoring the fact people remain working in the stores.So why on earth would one boycott them? So tell me what is weak about that? You just keep typing hoping your stupididity in black and white will vanish.So you wish to change the Cape from a tourist/ retirement area to what? Maybe bull doze it back to 1940 and start over?I guess state of the art highway systems would be the first thing to tackle once the land has been cleared.Just be careful where you put those cloverleafs and high rises. What's left of the land is on it's way out too.Perhaps you had a floating silicon valley in mind? It is what it is..... And now back to the regularly scheduled program of Demo and the Xmas Tree shop protest/boycott, Demo telling the owners what they can and can not do in his land of Oz... I mean Cape Cod.To To doesn't live here anymore.

lmaooooo you still don't get the point. So how do you know what's true or not?I have confused nothing, I live in reality. Xmas Tree shop has the right to do as they wish. It is not my business in either sense of the word, any more than it is yours.People loose jobs all over America every day.They find another job , even if it means relocating.The Cape was never, and never will be a high paying community, it is what it is, a low paying tourist area like any another tourist area in this country. Face the facts. People don't move here for high paying Xmas Tree Shop jobs, or the high paying waitress jobs.They sure as hell aren't moving here to make a living fishing. Don't flip the issue of store workers jobs on me. You are the one who wants to boycott and protest with out thinking of those folks jobs, ya dumb ass. Did you suddenly realize how stupid a statement that was so decided to flip it my way? lmao I can't even say nice try, your posts get more pathetic with each tap of your keyboard.Get back to me when you have something intelligent to say.

If more than one person disagrees with you, you think your being ganged up on? Stop with the caring about your neighbor routine. If you did, why would you boycott stores full of your neighbors running registers and stocking shelves for a living ? hmmm???? pfffttt hang it up Demo, your a wash out.

Businesses are in the business of making money. It makes perfect economic sense to move the warehouse. Such is life people.Just curious, how many of you shop at Walmart and Home Depot? You know, those companies that put the Small American biz out of biz. How many of you bought Toyota's when our factories were struggling and shutting down? How many of you bought sweaters made in China because they were cheaper when our mills were shutting down? Saved a penny when you could right?.. and said oh well to the car plant worker loosing his job, the mill worker standing in the unemployment line.Brilliant! picket , boycott, maybe they will shut down the Cape stores, you can all shop across the bridge and drive an employee to work on your way.

Solon, is Kathy motivated by sex, drugs, or food?

drugs: the bars are open like all the time. Cute Filipino guys bring you exotic cocktails.

food: really good on this ship. It's good on all cruise ships, really--look how many fatties go.

So, CapeMom, in reference to your continual fattie comments, should we picture the skinnies being older mothers, trying to be young, slopping up exotic cocktails, and trying to have exotic sex with young island boys? I mean seeing you figure the fatties are there for the food.

Ahhhh the joys of tourist season. It takes defensive driving to a new level.No, Cape drivers aren't that bad.Somehow we know to wait out turn at a 4 way stop. We know to let traffic pass before we pull out from a stop sign into oncoming traffic. Getting somewhere 1 minute sooner, just isn't worth injuring others to us.We don't care how fast your car can go from stop to 55 mph as you pull out in front of us.We worry more how fast our brakes can stop when you do. pffftttt

Sorry folks, Brennans was a total dissapointment.I went on a recomendation for 2 other people, who also have changed their opinion after another visit to Brennans. Our meal was at a turkey club, which we guessed was not fresh roasted turkey but the upper end deli variety.The sea scallops were too white, all uniform cookie cutter size and rubbery. The mased taters looked great, like my irish family makes at home, lumps and all. Ackkkk they had that old steam table taste. The veggies were good.The dessert, a choclolate torte, was too generic and the same common one found everywhere.The waitress had us and one other party, yet could not seem to bring more coffee despite asking 3 times.Sadly,Brennans is yet another toursit type food establishment.Looks like it could be a fun place to have a few drinks and enjoy some local Irish Musicians however.The food in no way can begin to compare with the Copper Top ( Claddagh) Tavern up the street in Harwich.
