I received an email about the post I made earlier and they asked if I was afraid of being named in the case Stephanie is planning against the City of Lumberton. First of all, I wasn't aware of any case. Secondly, why would I be named in a lawsuit. I also received an email from someone asking if I'm afraid of being disliked. Obviously, the author of the the latter email must not know bout me (in my Beyonce voice). Let me clear my throat. I'm not a glass half full or glass half empty type of person. I just want to make sure the glass is clean and the water is clear. I have not problem with being disliked. However, I have a problem when people that don't know me dislike me. Get to know me and I'm quite sure I will give you a reason to dislike me. It's like this, if I've done something that offended you, give me a call. If you don't have my number, then you don't know me well enough to have an issue with me. Capish. Now back to the matter of getti...

There are those that say I use this blog for personal reasons/agendas and to that I respond, you dayum right. I have had a personal feud with the city clerk for quite some time and for those of you that had your heads in the sand, I will share with you the reason why. I have known Stephanie most of my life. It was not until we reached adulthood that I realized how cunning and manipulative she was/is. I was finished with my posts about our embattled city clerk until I found out that she has me listed as owing yet another fine to the City of Lumberton. The day she and Hobson plotted to have an arrest warrant signed for failure to pay the three parking tickets that were issued for me illegally parking in front of my residence, I was given a speeding ticket. Hobson was driving, but Yates was the one that signed the ticket. I was summoned to court for the speeding ticket, 31 in a 25 mph speed zone. For the first court appearance, I asked for an continuance because I was waiting for som...

Yesterday was one of them days. It seems people are paying attention to the blog lately. Bloggers have more leeway than normal reporters because we don't have to vet our information, but I try to make sure the information I'm putting out there is correct. Well, the other day, I posted about the police department and the issuance of a warrant. In all honesty, I did not attempt to get the other side of the story. I just took the second/third hand information and let my fingers do the walking. Well, when Lumberton 7 conforted me about the imporprities within the post, I removed the post from the site, but as we know, I can't go back and unring the bell. There are some that may say I posted the story because Chief Elsie Cowart does not like me. To be honest, that's neither here nor there and her disdain towards me is her issue, not mine. But I must be more mindful of the things I post. I have interacted with Lumberton 7 on many occassions and she has always been professi...

I have been getting feedback about the recent line of posts that have been generated on this blog; some good and some. . well. I've also heard that several aldermen are upset about being referred to as eunuchs. Heavens to Betsy, I thought they didn't read this blog. But why are they upset? Were the things I said false? No. Did they have an opporutnity to end this travesty of fiscal irresponsiblity a long time ago? Yes. So let me clear up the eunuch statement before moving on. I know they're not actual eunuchs, but politically, they're eunuchs. It don't take balls to lie, cheat, steal, sell drugs, cheat on your spouse or any other act of lawlessness/cowardice. However, it takes a pair to do the right thing. To stand in the midst of adversity. To do the right thing even when others are going down the wrong path. To stand for truth, justice and integrity when everyone else is so easily swayed into getting on the slippery slope. That's ballzy (and no I don't...

I don't know how true it is, but it seems that we have a city employee that is battling a case of shingles. I'm not a medical professional, but that seems to be a not so crafty attempt to avoid the inquistion. . .oops. . investigation. From what I learned, shingles is a pretty painful, blistering rash that generally could take weeks to heal. Generally,individuals with severe cases of this ailment may need a prescription for either Percocet or Loratab for pain management. However, this will leave the person confined to the home because, as we know, one definately should not be driving or attending school function under the influnence of a sedative. So, what I guess I'm trying to say is this. . if a person cannot attend work, they definately cannot attend other functions; if they're in that much pain. WTBS. I hope all is well because I want her to be aware and cognizant of what's taking place and we definatley don't need an illness delaying the investigative ...
