Neighborhood Blog Contest
See what I mean guys? Some people are pretty insensitive and have let their "win" go to their head. At least her entry of April 8 HAPPENED in an SD neighborhood, although why she or anyone would think any one of us would be interested in her adulterous affairs, well there's no accounting for taste. SDaniels and refried, I read your blogs. They are BOTH head and shoulders better than Mindy1114's - both her Nov 08 and April 09 nonsense. If she kept her legs closed we could have all been spared. But at least SD and RG wrote ABOUT San Diego neighborhoods - not just some nefarious conduct within the zip code. Gophers and adultry. Yep, sure tells me a lot about San Diego. Hey SD, if yer selling a car, I'd gladly buy one for you. Your writings have a lot of class!— May 8, 2009 1:43 a.m.
Neighborhood Blog Contest
No Mindy and refried you got it wrong. MY point was SHE announced herself to be the winner of the April 2009 Neighborhood contest BEFORE the Reader made a general announcement. She is not the only person who contributed (I didn't contribute) and I think it is just pompous and rude to proclaim yourself the winner before there's been any official notification. A lot of people contributed. So not cool Mindy to handle it the way you have. Plus after reading her blog, I think it is BOGUS that she won (still waiting for the Reader to say so) for what she wrote. As I said, it was interesting but had NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY SAN DIEGO NEIGHBORHOOD WHATSOEVER. It was a story about a guy she hooked up with when she lived in Hollywood. So refried, not even a story as you said about an experience you had in one SD neighborhood. Not even close. THAT is bogus as is her giving herself the title "Winner of the April, 2009 Neighborhood Contest." Pa-leeeees. Get over yourself. That is my opinion and I have a right to it. It's not negative. It is based on the facts. I think it is great that Mindy blogs and at least when she won in Nov. 2008 it was about a dog park here in SD. But if she won for her blog of April 24 that's not right and not fair to anybody who stuck to the theme of the contest. I'm sure people could write about all kinds of things otherwise, but didn't because it was supposed to be a contest about a SAN DIEGO NEIGHBORHOOD EXPERIENCE at the very least. And I can't congratulate Mindy because so far she's the only one to claim she's won!! AGain, not cool Mindy and not cool Reader.— May 6, 2009 2:51 p.m.
Neighborhood Blog Contest
Uh, hey Mindy1114 just how are you the winner of the April, 2009 contest as you self proclaim when nowhere has the winner for April 2009 been announced yet? And if you are, don't you think you should wait and let the Reader make that announcement? Pretty blow yer own horn of you. Your story was interesting - but had NOTHING to do with your neighborhood. If the Reader isn't going to stick to their own rules then wth? Not cool at all Mindy or Reader.— May 6, 2009 2:15 a.m.
Thieving Trio Surprised
I live in this area. Recently we have had someone jumping our back fence and sleeping in our pool house, leaving beer or vodka bottles and a pizza box. And then we had an older Mexican guy come to the front door to ask if he could look in the back for his Mother's plant. He said his brother used to live in our home and left the plant. Seriously? Our dog, who is usually a pussycat wanted to take the guys throat out. I think animals get a sense of what'sup with folks. When I asked the guy for his name and number and said I'd get back to him, he took off. "No thanks," he said and waived me away. He and his buddy drove off in a medium-sized, painted blue moving-type truck parked on the wrong side of the road. People are desperate more and more these days especially on the other side of the border. Don't tell me it is a good place to visit. If so, why are you all so eager to come here? The good thing about our neighborhood is we have not gotten too big to forget to look out for each other. We are watching you.— April 26, 2009 3:02 a.m.
