Carol, the police don't protect you. They can't. Only you can protect you, and your position probably gives you permission to carry your pistol with you - unlike we mere civilians. Do so. At least one of us will be protected.<BR/><BR/>I read junk like this and I really don't know whether to laugh or cry. These three cannot possibly be serious.Mad Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190137186843630543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-23076170929051493172009-01-07T22:16:00.000-05:002009-01-07T22:16:00.000-05:00I think I can recommend a great start for Commissi...I think I can recommend a great start for Commissioner Ben's program. it is a way for the county to lose between 500 and 600 lbs...just have Ben, Tina & Pete resign!

Stress is caused by many things - one of which is worrying about issues that impact a person/family.<BR/><BR/>Now ... if I am stressed over the county and city budgets, the lack of police officers available to protect me, the response times of an already overworked fire department, the possibility of breaking a leg on an icy street, or the fact that my house value has dropped 30% in the last 2 years then I am probably going to make poor dietary choices. <BR/><BR/>I fail to see how a county government can intervene and save me from the stress that's causing my weight gain. Good Lord! don't they get it? They (government in general) is causing the stress!Casmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12075227007374933835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21829866.post-32559825594846664972009-01-07T13:02:00.000-05:002009-01-07T13:02:00.000-05:00From the Blade article: "Commissioner Ben Konop s...From the Blade article: "Commissioner Ben Konop said Mr. Zepeda's appointment is the first step in a comprehensive weight-loss program for residents, with more details to come this month."<BR/><BR/>The first step? Of a comprehensive program? And they had to cut back on overtime for plowing/salting county roads? Priorities need to be adjusted. <BR/><BR/>"The program will have a jingly theme: 'Looking fine in 2009.' "<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping it is just coincidence that my gym has used the same phrase promoting a 12-week weight loss supervised weight-loss program they are starting soon. I'd hate to have to drop out if it was connected to a government program in any manner.DeeDee Liedelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04567259716599270756noreply@blogger.com
