Yeah it worked out okay, our alderman was there and he's on the planning commission and there was a zoning proposal put forth a year ago and I hadn't heard anything from the city even though I'm on the mailing list. The proposal was passed in December, so I asked why I didn't recieve a notification, my question was heard by others on the mailing list and he found himself trying to explain why in front of a half dozen people also on the mailing list. It put him on the spot as there was no way for him to answer the question. There's a city planning employee that didn't send out the notice or cherry picked which mailing list to use. Developers and investors on one list and concerned residents on another list. I gave out some flyers about my movie night and it went over well, I think some one showed it to the officers that were there. I got the evil eye when my back was turned and they looked away when I would turn in their direction, it got picked up on by 2 others and they mentioned it to me. It was a successful night plus I ran into a few familiar faces and I'm going back to school for a few weeks to get some more grant money to help with this Ebay project. Might get some free website development through the Momentum program also.

 

It's quite the undertaking but sounds like it's moving along nicely. What's the Ebay project all about Perry?

 

That is a good idea Perry.. You have it pretty well thought out.. Maybe they were not so clean cops..

 

Had to do some supper as while the snacks were good at the event, most of them had onions in them and I have an onion allergy, that can be a big time pita when eating out. It won't be the death of me but it sure makes me toss my cookies.

Pretty much every city has a group of cops that only care about collecting a paycheck so they ignore or cater to the junkies and let them prey on the residents in certain districts. Police sergeants use them as a place to send under performing cops and as a result, as long as the junkies don't prey on themselves, everything is hunkie dorie. I was raised in rural Manitoba and most of the rural communities had at least one former military member on their forces. Having a circuit judge that only comes around once a month usually meant that the ex military members got to drive problem people out of town and educate them about behaving themselves. The ex military member my mom went out with was about 6'5" and weighed around 250 pounds and we got close to 6 years of training from him. He hated pretend cops more than most criminals, I follow his way of thinking in some areas. Our Police don't like me much because I bring streets together and get rid of the problems that I can, sober responsible like and respect me, junkies, drunks, problem people and cops hate me in this part of town. My neighbor Perkins is in his mid 80s, mess with him and I will hurt that person severely and any cop that has a problem with that, is a terrorist in my book.

All these trips to the auction has resulted in a room somewhat full of new inventory, most of it came with something that I needed or wanted. Now that it's the slow time of the year for me it's time to inventory it, give it a sku and put it on Ebay, not quite that simple but Steve probably knows what I mean. I bought it knowing that I was going to list it so now its time to get the program started. 23 years of buying and selling results in having this weird way of investing, buy cheap and move the product at a 3 to 10 times mark up.

 

My wife loves fried onions and I only like raw ones, it makes for interesting discussions.

 

If I walk into a house where someone is frying Spanish onions, I have no choice but to walk out.

 

Sometimes I would like to do the same but I do like getting fed.

 

There's a lot of soups and stews that others make that I need to avoid, some will suggest that I pick the onions out of the soup. Lol

 

That's been suggested to me too but hard to do and a bit time consuming if there is too many.

 

Good morning everyone, I love cheese and onion sandwiches ,onion rings, and definitely fried onions...

 

Happy Thursday Mornin'all. Have a great day guy's.

 

Good morning MB and SK, Morris, Perry, Grant, John and wandering misfits..

Well Morris and Perry, I guess neither of you will be eating at my house.. onions are a given in about everything I cook..

 

Everything is good with onions and love the smell of them cooking..

 

Onions and garlic are supposed to be good for the blood system.. supposedly lower high blood pressure and cholesterol..

 

Oh we got some sick puppies on here today, lol.

Cold and snowy today but it warms up again tomorrow.
