Guest guest Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 (I'm not Beverly and hopefully Beverly won't mind my responding : - ) Yes, that's essentially how it works, Melody. I always ask for cash for payment and usually offer same. Craigslist is used for many things, including services (I once posted an ad asking for someone to plant a garden for me [i provide the plants, etc.] in exchange for me doing a pet portrait for them, and so, I had someone come over with a tiller who did the whole thing for me!), jobs, lost and found, a wanted section, events section, pet section, and more - the whole gambit. As I said, I've never really had any bad situations, but one still needs to be careful and exercise common sense. Having said that, I think it's a wonderful concept and a great resource! T.

A few weeks ago my husband was riding on the bus with his cane. He can barely walk but he gets around. He needed to get off the bus and this man would not let him by. Since his bus stop was fast approaching my husband again asked the guy to move, the guy wouldn't budge and my husband just moved past him. The guy decked my husband to the floor, eyeglasses go flying and he started pummeling my husband. Of course my husband defended himself with his cane. The guy ran off the bus. Unfortunately and because it was his time to get off the bus, my husband followed the guy in where he worked. The police were called and my husband demanded that the guy be held responsible. After hearing what went down, the cop turned to my husband and said: " If I arrest HIM, I have to arrest YOU because you had the cane and that's considered a weapon, so you'd be charged with a felony. It didn't matter that my husband was all bruised and bleeding. Of course no charges were pressed because everyone would have had to go before a judge and who knew how the judge would rule. The point is that if you are accosted on a bus, and you have a cane, and you defend yourself, you will be charged with a felony and have to plead your case in court. It can be decided in your favor or not in your favor. I checked with other cops and yes, that's the law. > > > > Well, Melody, we've had lots of problems around here, too.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Wow Melody, I am so sorry that happened to your husband. I was once robbed on a bus, had an attempted robbery a second time, and had some dude sitting across from me expose himself to me. These were San Francisco buses. In a lifetime of riding NYC subways I have only witnessed one police shootout (back in the '60s on a Queens Train), and never been bothered otherwise. Nowadays, I rarely get the chance to ride a bus or anything. It does make you wary. happy Memorial day weekend! n Dr. Rollings NJ Licensed Psychologist #4686 www.DrnRollings.com Sent from my iPad > Oh, Melody, how awlful. > Beverly > Texas > > Re: Placing the Sproutgarden INSIDE > refrigerator on HOT days!!! > > Hi.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 And no one helped Alan? I think that's almost as bad as the incident happening in the first place! Â Peggy To: sproutpeople Sent: Saturday, May 28, 2011 7:54 AM Subject: Re: Placing the Sproutgarden INSIDE refrigerator on HOT days!!! Â Hi. Want to know another reason why I don't trust people that much in my area? A few weeks ago my husband was riding on the bus with his cane. He can barely walk but he gets around. He needed to get off the bus and this man would not let him by. Since his bus stop was fast approaching my husband again asked the guy to move, the guy wouldn't budge and my husband just moved past him. The guy decked my husband to the floor, eyeglasses go flying and he started pummeling my husband. Of course my husband defended himself with his cane. The guy ran off the bus. Unfortunately and because it was his time to get off the bus, my husband followed the guy in where he worked. The police were called and my husband demanded that the guy be held responsible. After hearing what went down, the cop turned to my husband and said: " If I arrest HIM, I have to arrest YOU because you had the cane and that's considered a weapon, so you'd be charged with a felony. It didn't matter that my husband was all bruised and bleeding. Of course no charges were pressed because everyone would have had to go before a judge and who knew how the judge would rule. The point is that if you are accosted on a bus, and you have a cane, and you defend yourself, you will be charged with a felony and have to plead your case in court. It can be decided in your favor or not in your favor. I checked with other cops and yes, that's the law. I told my husband. " Next time some guy jumps you and you have your cane, hand him the cane, and defend yourself. That way HE HAS THE CANE!!! this really happened by the way.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 LOL, Melody - I think this is just misdirected excitement over the possibility of a new sprouting rack, given this group's predilection toward new gadgetry and other sprout-related accoutrements!! I suspect it's understandable! Good for you on your cooling system. If only you could hone/refine it and then market as a new sprout 'gotta have'! You could be rich, LOL!! T.

There is no NEW sprouting rack. There is my new cooling system in which I placed my SproutGarden inside a big round tub and put all ice cold keepers around it. Works like a charm to keep my sprouts nice and cool. Who said there was a new sprouting rack? lol I wouldn't give up my sprouting shelves for all the tea in China.

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Ahhhh LOL ok...that is what I get for assuming, I been trying to come up with something to keep the sprouts at 70, coming into the summer here. It will be way over 100 most days, to expensive keeping the house much cooler then 76. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 I went to Craig's list out of curiosity and found two ads from my tiny town. One was a 22 yr old student at a community college 18 mi away looking for someone to hang with, and the otherwas a Guy (age not stated.nor any other particulars) offering room and board in a 3 bedroom 2 bath home to a woman (must be under 40) in exchange for doing the housework and " occasional no strings attached sex " . Can you believe that Guy? I wish I knew what happened. Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
