Farming My Brat Out

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Folks ask alot about friends for Chloe .. since she doesn’t attend pre-school or daycare.. and she is always with us.. in the store.. or at home.. with her babysitter.. during the days.. we have to work nites. I used to worry about the brat’s social skills.. and if she would know how to protect herself .. when the time comes.. when she goes to school.. and needs to fend for herself. PB fears nothing about it.. maybe it’s because he was such a quiet kid.. and he still make out good.. but the mother bear in every mom.. wants what is best for her child. For I know.. that the brat wouldn’t know what to do.. in the event where she does get pushed or bully.

Although she meets with all sorts of ppl in the store.. they only get to play for a couple of minutes.. so you see why I am kinda worried..?? I seriously think my kid is the only one .. not in childcare.. it seems. But because of that.. i also see that my kid is well-fed.. well cared for.. and of course better manners that most here. So yes.. the pros and cons.. eh..? What do mummies out there think..?? should i farm my kid out..??

I’m This Close to Going Home..!

Everytime a customer walks in.. and we discussed about the new building in Hebron for housing 13 municipality employees.. that will cost the town $5Million .. with terraces, childcare center.. and a gym.. that gets my blood boiling..!

Why..?? because the town.. should use THIS money.. to better the town.. and not to better their butts..!! If the town if able to bring the town.. to a flourishing one.. SURE..! by all means.. spend $10Million .. for all i care.. but this is not happening.. at all..! The town do not need another spanking new building to house some fugleys..! The town needs more important stuff.. FIRST..!! say .. another new school..!!! a drug rehab..!! a youth center..!! so kids don’t become drug runners.. for those drug dealers..!!

Yes.. as you can see.. i’m this close to packing up.. and going back to Singapore..!!

A Public Meeting

A public meeting last night in Yarmouth drew over 100 people, most of them, vehemently opposed to plans by the municipality of Yarmouth to construct a new 4 -million dollar administrative building in Hebron. Most people who spoke last night pointed the finger at council for not being transparent and spending taxpayers money on a building that isn’t needed. Resident John Daley said the fact that so many people packed the council chambers and stood outside in the hallway, shows peoples displeasure. Barry MacGregor, executive director of the Yarmouth YMCA, said the council lacked transparency on the issue. Deputy Warden Brian Noble said he was against amalgamation and said the current courthouse building cannot be renovated cheaply. CJLS will air a call-in program on the issue this Sunday morning at 9 on the CJLS Weekender.

Insulting Our Intelligence

This town never fails to amaze me..!! the ppl who runs this town.. is even more amazing..! How can the ppl of this town not be concerned about the council approving of getting a loan of close to $5 Million.. for a building that houses .. 13 ppl to work in it..?? Are they crazy..?? or are they insulting the intelligence of the ppl of this town..??

This is my mess up corner in the store. I sit here everyday..while i am at work. Yes.. this space belongs to the Professional Chair Sitter At Gator Byte..! If you see a crazy chinese woman sitting in the store.. that has gotta be me. I have a puter in this corner..and stuff of chloe’s all around me.. from her extra bag of clothings.. and diapers.. to her food .. drinks.. snacks.. and also some movies.

Being a mother is not easy at all. And a well equipped mummy is even more tough. Everyday, i try to bring different snacks.. and different games/toys for her to play.. and of course.. i have to replenish her diapers and wipes as well.

Meet Lucy, my charming lil’ customer.. with a huge sense of humor. He calls me Bob.. while I call him Lucy.. it’s a private joke between us. I’ve watched this boy grow up.. and not only did he grow up.. but he is one of the best kid I’ve seen in town. Upbringing is very important… as we can all see. His parents is always with him.. when he needs to go downtown.. even though our store is only a few blocks away from where he lives. Well-mannered.. adn handsome kid.

No worries.. i’m sure his parents wouldn’t care to sue me for $40K for posting his picture on my blog.. like my chicken shit neighbor threatened to do.

Tourism AGAIN..!

I write things close to my heart.. because it affects the business alot. It also affects if we are going to continue to stay in Yarmouth, and invest in this town. This morning on local news.. they wrote a small piece about the Provincial tourism official getting a earful last nite. But what is their action plan.. besides changing the stupid name on the brochure..?? (like it would ever helped..???!!??)

Business has been hurting downtown.. big time.. with Walmart and the expansion of Superstore and some other various specialty stores that sprung up on us.. during the last few years. Even we were not spared.. with Movie Gallery trying very hard to undercut us.. downtown merchants.

My question is ONLY ONE.. ! What is the action plan here..?? No more HOT AIR please..!
