It's Time For Local Elections: Don't Vote For...



My local elections are less than a week away.  So I'm asking my local friends and readers? Have you done your homework?  Did you attend the candidates forum or viewed it on line?  Have you looked at the answers that the candidates have given to the questions posed by local media?  Have you even checked out the candidates’ webpages and/or social media?  If you haven't?  What are you waiting for?  Your vote DOES count!  (Don't believe me, just ask ANY of the five candidates and I'm sure they will agree with me!)

Before casting your vote  I want to share some don'ts with you.

DON'T vote for Candidate A or B because they are incumbents

DON'T vote for C because she is a woman.

DON'T vote for D because he was the President of the Board of Education

DON'T vote for E because he is a veteran.

Those things aren't important.   All the lawn signs and banners in town aren't important.  Who your neighbor is voting for isn't important.  Here's what IS important.

Vote for A and/or B  because you like what they have done thus far on the town council.  Vote for either one of them (or both) because you feel their actions thus far have benefitted the town and/or yourself.

Vote for C because of her experience in the financial field as well as her volunteer experience in our town.  If you feel that what she has accomplished would make her a good council member; vote for her.

Vote for D because you feel that what he did as a member of the Board of Education enriched our school system.   Vote for him if you think that his experience there will translate well into the town council.

Vote for E because you think his experience in the military would make him a good leader on our town council.  Vote for him because you feel his experience in as a small business leader and developer would be beneficial to the area.

Your vote is YOUR vote.  You need to cast your ballot for the person YOU feel is best for the position based on what each candidate brings to the table.  When it comes to local elections, remember this is YOUR town, or YOUR city or YOUR county; this is your time to help shape its future.

For those of us who have local elections coming up, there is still time to do your homework.  Do it!   Be informed.  And then cast your vote!

Not Guilty

The last time I blogged (https://bfthsboringblog.blogspot.com/2023/06/where-do-i-go.html ), this song from "Hair" was going through my head.  Today the above tune, written by George Harrison in 1968, but not officially appearing until George's 1979 solo album "George Harrison" (wonder how he came up with that title) has been running around in my head.  "Not guilty For getting in your way While you're trying to steal the day. Not guilty And I'm not here for the rest, I'm not trying to steal your vest. I am not trying to be smart, I only want what I can get. I'm really sorry for your aging head. But like you heard me said: Not guilty." Doesn't really apply to me...or maybe it does. When I last wrote it was a question of where do I go?  The answer was with my boys on a 5 day/4 night vacation to the Poconos.  (You probably know where if you've read my blog over the years.)  And we had a good time all things considered.  (Read the pr

Please Don't Ask Me...

 ...about the house.  (For clarity:  I am talking about the house that my parents lived in at the Jersey Shore.)  I realize that you mean well.  (Or at least most of you do...if you've read  https://bfthsboringblog.blogspot.com/2023/07/not-guilty.html  you know who I mean.) My mom died a year ago Sunday.  My dad died last Saturday.  I am NOT focused on the house right now.  I am working on organizing a memorial down at the shore later this month.  (Which is turning out to be a lot more complicated than I thought it would be and SHOULD be.)  I am thinking about the graveside service that is scheduled for tomorrow morning.  I planning for the people that might come back to our house afterwards.  (Have no idea how many; so I've ordered some food and have some beverages and think I have enough.  I probably have too much, but that's how I roll.)  I am fielding phone calls and messages from friends and relatives, which I appreciate (if you're reading this Amanda, Linda, Pat

Lowe's LIES

Note:   before you start reading this blog post go back and read my  previous post . It will give you some important information about the BS that I have been dealing with when it comes to getting a new refrigerator and  Lowe's .  First off, let me say if you are my friend or if you are my enemy (I don't have any do I?), if I know you or if I don't know you, let me give you this advice.  NEVER  order an appliance from  Lowe's . Let me say that again  NEVER EVER  ever order an appliance from  Lowe's .  After the debacle that  Lowe's  created on Friday the 16th of June, I reordered the same refrigerator to be delivered to the shore address on Saturday June 17th. I was told that the refrigerator that they could not deliver because they had the wrong town had to be returned and I would be credited. As of this writing that hasn't happened; as of this writing there are two refrigerators with processing charges on my credit card.  However I am ever hopeful an
