I think it's fair game to be

I think it's fair game to be able to share personal opinions and views concerning Election Day 2008! This November 4th will be in the future America History books that our children and grandchildren read.
I find it hard to work around the ground rules you've cleary stated.

Sure, if you want to be

Sure, if you want to be technical, there is an "ex" step-dad. But, he is still family to us and has been more reliable than some of our other "parental sets."

Don't you mean his EX -

Don't you mean his EX - step-father?

I will have to ask Wayne

lesleyk — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 18:45:48 -0500

I will have to ask Wayne about you, the next time he is in town! :) Hopefully, he has some good stories!

lesleyk, I was referring to

roj2000 — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 10:44:55 -0500

lesleyk,

I was referring to Mr Kruse (Wayne, I think)! Rolling on the floor (ROTF), I'll be darned. I can't believe I wasted my "phone a friend" on something that simple!!

ROTF = Rolling on the Floor.

lesleyk — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 06:47:41 -0500

ROTF = Rolling on the Floor. :) And you said you figured out the rest, so I won't spell that part out here.

Which Father-in-law? (Allen's dad or step-dad?) Both are I'Falls grads, so no doubt that you prbly did! :) Have any good stories to share?

Falls-Girl, I love these

roj2000 — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 16:18:07 -0500

Falls-Girl,

I love these guessing games!! Let's see, do ya still live in the Falls? If you did, you probably would see my brother alot, since he lives back up there. I don't know you, but you "know of me". And you lived next to my Brother when? Are you closer to his age or mine? You sure we didn't graduate in the same year? Your Mother is 100% right about me and my Dad. I never met him until 24 years of age, but we were two peas in a pod!! So, for those who don't believe in the "gene pool", my Dad and I proved you wrong. I was just kidding about "big woman"!! You are probably a former Miss I-Falls, and now are a beautiful senior citizen. LOL. (JUST KIDDING)!! You call me little guy, but you probably haven't seen me since I was in 5th grade!! I'll send you some of this warm weather, but why don't you come down south to South Carolina. We are friendly, by the way! I'll buy you the best fried shrimp in the USA. Gotta love ya, for being on my side with McCain. If he doesn't win, then I give up! I was all for Biden, until I saw his true colors come out during this campaign. I think a McCain/Romney ticket would have been the way to go! Have a good one.

You don't know me.. I know

Falls-Girl — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 15:29:31 -0500

You don't know me.. I know of you... used to be your brother's neighbor in the Falls - have not seen him in a quite a while or you for that matter. My Mother knew your Dad. She says you are very much like he was , at least the way you behave on this site - God rest his soul. Last time I checked I was not "big". "little guy" like in Tatoo at least in comparison to your brother - think his nick name was ezekial or something like that?... ps.. send some of your dixie warmth this way - winter is on its way all ready. Remember - we are just all trying to have fun on here... Chill out. btw, I think Mayor Mason would look better than Kruse in a bikini. I think the mayors race will be close this year. They both are great people... Also - we do have something in common - my vote is for McCain. Wished he would have picked a better running mate though. And wished that Biden was Republican.

lesleyk, What the heck is

roj2000 — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 14:03:34 -0500

lesleyk,

What the heck is "rotflmao"? I'm a little slow today, but I'm sure I figured out the "LMAO" part (a favorite of mine)!! I googled the Mayor, because you see, Mayor Mason is kind of a celebrity down here during the winter months. My friends will call me and say they saw her on the tele, being interviewed out in the cold and snow! They tell me to tune in, but it always seems the Mayor is on one of the "left wing" networks, like the (C)linton (N)ews (N)etwork, and I can't tune them in on my "right wing" cable box. I wonder if she has been on Fox News (you know, TLJ's faux news), but then I don't know if the Mayor is interested in "Fair and Balanced" interviews! Would like to know the answer to that!! Thanks for the nice comments lesley, but remember, I'm not registered to vote in I-Falls. LOL.... I think I gradyeated with your Father-in-Law, right??

ROTFLMAO!!! Thank, roj!

lesleyk — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 13:47:06 -0500

ROTFLMAO!!! Thank, roj! Thank you for a good laugh! :) I don't know what's funnier that you googled it or that you admitted googling it! You're too cute! ;)

At least Mr. Kruse has

six-shooter — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 13:10:01 -0500

At least Mr. Kruse has stepped up to the plate and wants answers and wants to try to make things better for IF. Don't know Dm, don't want to know Dm just from all of his previous blogs that now one knows why he was always so defensive.I think he should just quite before he digs his hole any deeper. Very tight group this city council no room for outsiders.

Kay, Good point about how

roj2000 — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 12:25:52 -0500

Kay,

Good point about how people can dish it out, when people don't know who they are. And before anyone says that I hide behine "roj2000", just look at my user profile on this website. My identity has been out in the open from the start (no one else had the courage to do that). Anyone with 1/2 of a brain, could figure out who I am. I've had lots of emails and calls from people on here, and it's been great. In fact I almost made the same mistake Professor Johnson made when he signed up. Nothing against the two aforementioned guys, (I think they are both great), but now that they are out in the open, the discussions should be interesting, from now on. Mayor Mason HAS TO be "nice and professional" when on here, because she is speaking as "The Mayor - her Highness"!! Someone mentioned the Mayor in a bikini!! I "googled" that, and kept getting pictures of Brittney Spears!! Figure that one out!

Falls-Girl, So, what's with

roj2000 — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 12:16:40 -0500

Falls-Girl,

So, what's with "the little guy" from Dixie?? Do I know you? Are you the "BIG woman" from I-Falls??

RJ1127, I think you have a

roj2000 — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 11:29:27 -0500

RJ1127,

I think you have a point there on the apple pie. If someone was to get me a I-Falls "homemade" rhubarb/strawberry pie, I would out everyone on this blog site!! I have connections (just kidding). It took me almost a year to figure out Doorsman's identity, and he was related to me at one time!! Have a good one.

You know Kay, I think I know

Doorsman 54 — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 10:13:46 -0500

You know Kay, I think I know you but will not "out you" by name. If you are who I think you are, call me. Allen and I may have stated things about your posts but everyone has at times. I just think you like to stir it up. ROJ is very good at pushing big buttons, that is his goal, to get things riled ,but I am sure if Allen and I hurt your feelings, I as well as Allen I'm sure, are sorry. Yes, 65 and I did tangle a few times and I do think he is smarter than me too. There are brilliant people commenting here. But if I am as inept as you say, don't vote for me. I know what I have done, I know what I can do and I do disagree with your analysis of how I have or have not helped the taxpayer of International Falls. I will not go back to previous postings, I know what I wrote and am not ashamed at all. Next time we meet Kay, tell me its you.
