CapeCodToday Blog Chowder

I just had the same pronunciation conversation with my wonderful wash-a-shore guy. I don't think he was taking me seriously until I told him that if he ever said it like that while we were out I would truly pretend I wasn't with him.

Does Falmouth have any cruisers left?

It's so cute when the "older" generation likes to talk about how much better they did things. Riiight, schools were also segregated back then. Should we return to that also? How about the one room school house with the wood stove? You know that darn heat just makes the kids lazy and tired. Think how much money could be saved!! For phys ed we could even have the kids chop their own wood.

Peter Walker.........Negros? Really? Not just once but repeatedly? Wow, do you have a quota to meet to be a dick or do you just enjoy it?

"Want to guess who will be the largest recipient of the money will be be?"

Ok, getting past your atrociously constructed sentence....I would guess that MBHP in Boston will receive the bulk of the money because they have the largest client base. Some thing that anyone who actually watches would know. Don't feel bad though, it's much easier to stand on bias than actually pay attention.

"coveting the amazing new fall Ann Taylor collection I had added to my wardrobe"

That is a direct quote from Rachaels blog, lmao!!! It takes an awful lot of audacity to rant about a possible pay cut in one blog and brag about adding an entire fall collection (from Ann Taylor no less!!!) to her wardrobe in another. After reading a few of her posts I would like to know which private school would like to take credit for turning out that piece of work.

Reminds me of the genius that anchored at low tide in front of my grandmothers house in Barnstable. He didn't account for high tide, lol.

On second look, it must be his son because the guy in the photo is only a couple years older than me.

Wow. My dad used to be friends with Renato Conrado years ago. He stopped coming around. Now I see why, lol. Unless it's a different person, he doesn't look the same.

Who tries to run game on a blogga? lol

Wow Welcometobarnstable, your opinion holds about as much water as Kerry's longboat. NOAH isn't the only homeless shelter on the Cape. The "exectuves" involved in the planning and development of The Community Green aren't even in the same department as the one that runs shelters. There isn't even one 4 bedroom planned much less the plural you used, lol. You present yourself as someone opposed to HAC's services instead of being honest and presenting yourself as a former participant with a rather large chip on your shoulder.

Also, it wasn't even a question so I can't possibly begin to guess at your ridiculous use of so many question marks. So sad.

This is WAY more entertaining to read than the actual bible, lol.

Perhaps she was using the Royal We?

Yea, what dingbat said.

It's a shame more people don't articulate the issue as well as you seem to. Too often these conversations break down into caustic comments about race cards or statements insinuating all white people are racist. I have yet to see a truly productive conversation on race relations. Considering the amount I've taken part in, it's some what demoralizing.

@ Ned, I've commented on several blogs about it but I can't recall if they were on here. I wasn't aware I should self identify to validate my comments, lol. Out of the 21 comments I just read I didn't see anyone self identifying themselves as white so I'm not sure where you're going with that one.

I would love to plant them in my yard because the flowers are gorgeous. Unfortunately living on Reid Ave in Yarmouth, I'm pretty sure they would be pillaged beyond recognition, lol. Probably by the same family down the street that condones stabbing family members to settle disputes.

I'm getting positively lightheaded thinking about how many pies, cakes and breads I could turn out with a mixer like that. Or I'm lightheaded because my body knows my husband might actually choke me if I brought that home, lol.

Peoples willingness to buy into these lies disguised as conspiracy theories scares the 'ell out of me. Rush Limbaugh is just as much a disgusting human as Michael Moore. Bill O'Reilly is full of as much BS as Keith Olbermann. I'll admit to finding Olbermann funny because I'm rather liberal but I'd have to be a moron to rely on him for actual news. Some where along the line comedians replaced news broadcasters. There is precious little integrity left in the news field. Every one has a slant or an agenda and unfortunately it's not informing the public.

I find better, less biased coverage of our own politics and news through the BBC, lol. Also a healthy dose of how we appear as a country to the rest of the world. Shameful.

Jail? Ahahahahahaaaaaa!! Haven't you looked at the court report lately? People don't go to jail any more. You've all pointed out their rap sheet, so you tell me, who is worse? The animal or the person that keeps letting them out of the cage? Criminals will be criminals. That's what they do. That's who they are. That is the choice they make. The court system is the weakest link.

"the suspect came into contact with a Barnstable Police cruiser"

Any one care to clarify that? lol If I hit someone and claimed they had "come into contact with" my vehicle, I'm pretty sure they'd still charge me.

I thought they just put Fockler in twice by accident, but no, he truly was arrested twice in one week, lmao. You gotta be that special kind of stupid to pull that off.

Oh and I forgot....All the friggin shelves in K-Mart stocked with the Portuguese or Spanish side facing out. WTF is that? Yet if I were to start choking the employees, it's suddenly a hate crime, go figure.

1. People that get in the wrong lane just to get one car length ahead then create chaos when they try to force their way over. Most notably, on south st approaching the hospital and the end of Independence park. Also, coming off Enterprise turning onto 132. If you want to go to Sam Diegos GET IN THE RIGHT HAND TURNING LANE!!!

2. The merge from Hyannis into Yarmouth. I have never seen a group of drivers more concerned with a single #@$#%%^ car length in my life.

3. People who stop in bumper to bumper traffic, at a dead stand still and yet refuse to allow anyone out to take a left. Instead they studiously ignore the fact that you're staring right at them and that allowing you out would not have changed their position in any way shape or form. That's just ignant and you know who you are!! lol

I'd be more inspired by this if I wasn't reading it at my desk at work, lol.

If this is the woman I think it is I'm VERY surprised her liver hasn't given out on her already. When I knew her back in the mid 90's she was already a raging alcoholic and pill head. She was living in Hyannis at the time so I'm not sure if it's the same person or not. I seem to recall her stealing credit cards from a male relative and then allowing her 16 year old daughter to go on a shopping spree with them. Being the supportive mother she was, she even bailed her daughter out of jail when she got arrested for it.

I've stopped before the tracks when the lights were red and people loose their F'ing minds, lol. They will honk yell and all but get out of their vehicles unless you pull right up on the tracks.

Out of all my friends only about 3 of them haven't called me foul names in the past few days, lol. The MJ I grew up listening to and dancing to has long since been mourned and was replaced by a creepy, plastic white woman who like to sleep with little boys.

This has got to be the biggest outpouring of hypocrisy I have ever seen. People want to just keep repeating, he was acquitted, over and over to make themselves feel better about all the shyt they had to say when he was alive.

Yea, R. Kelley was acquitted to despite the fact they had a VIDEO of him peeing on an underage girl. So, if you're going to use the mockery we call a judicial system as reason to not hold him responsible you're clearly blind to a lot more than one mans disgusting behavior.

@ Monponsett....it should be B word Made N word. And if you're not black I'm going to have to punch you in throat later. Sorry, those are the rules...lmao.

The rest of the story is in the Cape Cod Times and apparently it wasn't in fact, the peds fault. One cruiser stopped short, the other rear ended him and sent the first one into the guy.

It's not autoasphyxiation, lol. It's autoerotic asphyxiation. He was rubbing one out with a rope around his neck to increase pleasure and accidentally hung himself. It's not some odd cult worship a return to the womb crap, lmao!!! Where the halibut did you come up with that nonsense? Intense orgasms are a physiological side effect of oxygen deprivation. Go figure.

I'll give you pertinent comment....

How about parents do some research instead of just blindly sending their children off to these "questionable" institutions? Since you started with ND let's discuss the rampant racism that has been a hallmark of this wonderful institution since its inception. Is it acceptable for parents to overlook that when choosing a college but you draw the line at traditional "catholic values"? We agree that it was hypocrisy. Why they had a black man speak, regardless of his political standing is beyond comprehension.

If you wanted to attack the issue of indoctrinating in our places of higher learning, surely you should have started with the medical field. Pfizer and Merck sponsoring courses and text books is far more alarming than a Catholic school allowing a pro-choice speaker to grace their stage.

"To make my point, I will briefly outline basic courses being offered to black, female and homosexual students at many top schools in the nation." You can't seriously be suggesting that these courses are only available to those you mentioned.

I know. It's almost like the time the Catholic church was supposed to teach values and integrity but were actually raping our children on the side then moving the priests around so no one would find out. It's almost like that. Not quite a sickening though.

Who mails 10 lbs of marijuana? LMAO!!! Clearly he didn't pay off the right people. Next time break off the postal workers and you won't have that problem, lol. But hey, there's still time to pay off the judge.

30k seems a bit off. If he was selling a quarter of an ounce for 40 then he'd be making 25,600 off 10 pounds. However, if he was selling an 8th of an ounce for 30 then he'd net 38,400. I'll admit those prices are from a good decade ago, lol, but I imagine if anything, they've probably gone up.

You didn't call HAC over 5 times in that period of time, or you didn't explain who you were and what you were looking for. Since I know you are being untruthful in that regard, it makes me question your motives.

If you want to broaden your understanding of HAC maybe you should take the offer to tour the facilities.

LMAO!!! @ rusty stealth bomber on blocks!!

And why did the date advance an entire year? lol, maybe I'm just overtired and seeing things.

Sierra Clib, not once but twice....9in and as sson? Who edited this? LOL

A refusal to comment is different than not being in contact at all. It says numerous calls weren't responded to. That itself is misleading since "numerous" calls were not made to the office. The reporter purposely worded this to make it seem as though she was evaded or received 'no comment, no comment' to her questions when that is not at all the case.

It's standard to say someone was 'unable to be reached for comment'. She admits she didn't reach anyone but then goes on to state that no would respond to specific questions. It's also standard for reporters to identify themselves as such so they can be directed to the correct person and because there are often deadlines for responses. Since there was only one call where a person identified themselves as a reporter, she either stretched the number of calls or did not present herself correctly when calling.

Frankly, no matter how you slice it, this was not unbiased reporting. Between MSNBC and Fox News I'm pretty sick of that tactic.

Also, the question of administrative expenses is easily answered by anyone who requests a copy of the annual report. 92% goes to programs, 8% to overhead. If the for profit sector had those percentages we wouldn't be in a financial crisis now.

Am I supposed to be horrified that a CEO is earning $94,000 running an agency that helps people? The average CEO salary in this country, you know, for the ones who screwed us, is $643,846. Seems to be a telling disparity there.

This is so clearly written by someone that does not grasp the fundamentals of federal funding. HAC doesn't decide what money is spent where. That decision is in the contracts.

I'm sure it would have been great to train existing staff to handle the intricacies inherent to mortgages, refinancing and foreclosure. In a perfect world I'm sure there would have been time to train staff to handle that crisis. Unfortunately, people on the brink of foreclosure tend to want help in the here and now. Go figure.

How can I possibly take any journalist seriously who says things like "Nonprofit no longer lucrative in this market"? Or does she not understand that non-profit is the opposite of lucrative? LOL I think she should familiarize herself with the details of federal and state contracts before attempting this subject again.

Who ever wrote that immigration article seems to lack an understanding of illegal vs. legal. Yea, this country was built on the backs of "immigrants" but back then they were called slaves, moron. Or did you think the Chinese willing laid railroads from one end of the country to the other? Perhaps you thought the Irish just liked menial labor or black people always dreamed of toiling in a field for someone else's benefit.

Come on, if you're going to make connections of that nature at least have the journalistic integrity to be honest about it.

This country cannot sustain the people that live here legally, immigrant or born citizen so why would we even consider tolerating people that are here UNLAWFULLY?!?!

Why not train all these unemployed citizens to be immigration workers and kill two birds with one stone?

I was sorely disappointed the last time I went to Jerry's for fried clams. It's now owned (or was a year ago)by a foreign gentleman, Greek, maybe. I should have been alerted by the addition of Gyro's to the menu, lol. The fried food was horrible.

Karie Vega does NOT live at 34 Reid avenue!!!! I live at 34 Reid Avenue. She also was NOT arrested at that address, neither were the other two. NO call was placed from that address. Apparently she's quite the piece of work as I have returned numerous pieces of mail from the court system that keeps coming in her name.
