All the dummies on the CDD Board should all be Fired

The Lake Ashton restaurant will now be in the hands of 6 of their friends on the CDD board and would you believe all they have to pay for ONE year rental is $1.00.  Yes, the residents must pay the electricity, taxes, water, Insurance, and all the bills that the  restaurant  accumulates.  This means it will cost you $50 to $100 each, or  it will cost all the residents $50,000 to $100.000.00 just to have the restaurant at Lake Ashton.  The CDD board are all a bunch of idiots.  Jake the snake Eaton miss over six meetings and rules of the CDD says that if you miss 3 meetings you will be replaced.  Well, the snake is still there.  These people on the CDD   ban me for three months are the dumbest, stupid bunch of dummies in the community.  I only left my card there and they are screwing everyone.  Maybe they are looking for a free lunch.  They only got 50% last time at the restaurant. They all should be fired including Trish Adams.

COLOR IS GOODYesterday I went to the doctor For my yearly physical. My blood pressure was high. My cholesterol was high. I'd gained some weight, and I didn't feel so hot. My doctor said eating right doesn't have to be complicated and it would solve my physical problems. He said: Just think in colors. Fill your plate with bright colors. Try some greens, oranges, reds, maybe something yellow, etc. and eat an entire bowl of bright colors. \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ And Sure Enough, I Felt Better Immediately!! I never knew eating right could be so easy!!Now you stay healthy my dear friend... eat your colors, and have a nice day!

Subject: Remember the Guy who Wouldn't take his Flag down

                       You might remember a news story several months ago about a crotchety

  Old man who defied his homeowners association and refused to take down    The flagpole on his property and the large flag that flew on it. Now you can   

                          Find out who, exactly, that old man is:

On June 15, 1919, Van T. Barfoot was born in Edinburg -- probably Didn't make much news back then. Twenty-five years later, on May 23, 1944, near Carano , Italy , Van T. Barfoot,who had enlisted in the US Army in 1940, set out to Flank German machine gun positions from which fire was coming Down on his fellow soldiers. He advanced through a minefield, Took out three enemy machine gun positions and returned With 17 prisoners of war.
If that wasn't enough for a day's work, he later took on and Destroyed three German tanks sent to retake the machine gun positions.
That probably didn't make much news either, given the scope of the War, but it did earn Van T. Barfoot, who retired as a colonel after Also serving in Korea and Vietnam , a Congressional Medal of Honor.

What did make news was a neighborhood association's quibble with How the 90-year-old veteran chose to fly the American flag outside His suburban Virginia home. Seems the rules said a flag could be Flown on a house-mounted bracket, but,  for decorum, items such As Barfoot's 21-foot flagpole were unsuitable.

He had been denied a permit for the pole, erected it anyway and was Facing court action if he didn't take it down. Since the story made National TV, the neighborhood association has rethought its position And agreed to indulge this old hero who dwells among them.

"In the time I have left I plan to continue to fly the American flag without Interference," Barfoot told The Associated Press.  As well he should. And if any of his neighbors still takes a notion to contest him, they Might want to read his Medal of Honor citation.  It indicates he's not Real good at backing down. Van T. Barfoot's Medal of Honor citation:   
This 1944 Medal of Honor citation, listed with the National Medal of Honor Society, is for Second Lieutenant Van T. Barfoot, 157th Infantry, 45th Infantry: If you got this email and didn't pass it on - guess what - you deserve To get your butt kicked!  I sent this to you, because I believe in you.
WE ONLY LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE... BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE!  .....AND, BECAUSE OF OLD MEN LIKE VAN BARFOOT.

VIVA AMERICA COÑO!!

Guard Yourself From Lawsuits Against Your HOA

Published July 19, 2012 

Your homeowners association, or HOA, could be sued because of its crime watch program. There are steps you can take to protect your HOA and your own pocketbook from a lawsuit.
Regardless of the outcome of criminal charges filed against George Zimmerman for the killing of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla., the HOA where the shooting occurred could be subject to a civil lawsuit. Lawsuits can drain the financial resources of associations and can even require special assessments to pay for legal expenses. In this way, homeowners can be held responsible for the actions of their neighbors.
If you live in a community with a homeowners association, legal experts recommend that you review the Neighborhood Watch program rules and check on the HOA's liability insurance coverage.
News reports on the Zimmerman case have said that he was designated by his HOA as a "captain" of the community's neighborhood watch program.
"It is quite unusual to have a resident listed as a security contact," says Allen Warren, an attorney with Chadwick, Washington, Moriarty, Elmore & Bunn in Fairfax, Va. "It's more common to rely on local law enforcement for security. HOAs should never give the impression they are providing security for residents."
Warren says it is best if a neighborhood watch or crime watch program is coordinated with the local police department and is not a designated HOA committee.
"When a community wants to set up a volunteer crime watch system, I encourage it, but I highly recommend that they have a community liaison officer from the local police or sheriff's office come in to train the volunteers," says Ellen Hirsch de Haan, a partner and attorney with Becker & Poliakoff in Clearwater, Fla., and past president of the Community Associations Institute. "The crime watch group must have written instructions, the first of which should be to call 911 and to not intervene in any situation."
Hirsch de Haan says that written guidelines must be distributed to all volunteers and to the community at large. The rules should prohibit carrying a weapon while on neighborhood watch duty.
"If the volunteer overstepped the guidelines, the HOA is in much better shape legally if the guidelines are in written form," Hirsch de Haan says.
Warren says: "Volunteers should be told their only role should be to observe and report. They should be told not to engage in any action other than calling 911 and reporting what they have seen to the local police."
If an HOA's officers want security beyond resident observation and local law enforcement, Warren suggests hiring a professional security firm because a contract would offer greater liability protection for the HOA.

Insurance Protection

Every HOA should have appropriate liability insurance coverage, experts say.
"HOAs generally carry commercial liability insurance coverage that protects the HOA's liability," Warren says. "That insurance policy may or may not also cover the board of directors and volunteers on an HOA committee. Residents should ask their HOA if they are covered under the HOA's liability policy when they are volunteering for the association."
Most insurance policies exclude criminal activity from liability protection, Warren says. If an HOA volunteer is convicted of a crime, the liability insurance will not cover any costs.
Individuals should have their own liability insurance that covers them when something happens on their own property or when they are acting on their own.
If the HOA in Zimmerman's neighborhood is successfully sued, the impact on homeowners depends on the size of the award and the details of the HOA's insurance policy.
"If an award is larger than the insurance coverage, then the HOA could impose a special assessment on all the homeowners to pay for the lawsuit," Hirsch de Haan says.
As long as HOAs are clear in their directions for volunteers, defer to local law enforcement and have adequate insurance coverage, Hirsch de Haan says crime watch committees can have a positive impact on a community.

used to avoid listening to Obama's speeches. Now, I look forward to the next one.

Here is something to help make Obama's speeches almost tolerable. Just print this page, distribute it to friends, then tune in to his next speech........

Rules for Bullshit Bingo:

1. Before Barrack Obama's next televised speech, print your "Bullshit Bingo"

2. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.

3. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!"

SENIORS  & COMPUTERS...........

As we Silver Surfers know, sometimes  we have trouble with our computers.

I had a problem  yesterday, so I called Eric, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks  likeMission Control and asked him to come over.

Eric clicked a couple of  buttons and solved the problem.

As he was walking away, I  called after him, 'So, what was wrong?

He replied, 'It was an ID  ten T error.'

I didn't want to appear  stupid, but nonetheless inquired ,

'An, ID ten T error?  What's that? In case I need to fix it again.'

Eric grinned ... 'Haven't you ever heard  of an ID ten T error before?

'No,' I  replied.

'Write it down,' he said,  'and I think you'll figure it out.'

So I wrote  down:

ID10T

I used to like Eric, the  little shit  head .

If  you're not a Senior yet then send this to someone who is.
