Enough

My Father would just shake his head at this one! He was a small Missouri town doctor who many ended up paying in wild mushrooms & corn for lack of funds(for garden flowers or anything!) He doctored all neighbors, short, tall, short on brains, light skin, dark---you name it. He knew how to be a kind, loving participant in a community. I was brought up thinking that's what community was. My better half has taken his point a little too far in my humble opinion but I don't control him nor did I like the fact that our name was drug into this whole debacle.
Let's see, our son was a loving 7 year old when I broke ground out front to make his First Communion Garden. I do admit the grasses took off in this heat this summer & I have been planning on removing them---noticing that they block the No Parking sign. I just wanted to save them & one should never move plants in blustery heat. JT was happy to find out that the burm was high on the list of water control on the Corp of Engineers ---Lord knows we needed that. It is such a bunch of bunk that any rocks have impeded water flow in this neighborhood. Some neighbors have just lucked out. Our nearest neighbors up the street & across the street have had standing water in the drive-ways since we moved here in 2000. MSD has promised us every year to fix it---the gardens didn't go in until 3 years after the ducks were photographed & repeated pleas & letters sent plus many, many requests to our city/state Reps---no one could help. As far as the assault on my garden that I truly cherish & enjoy so very much, I am sorry you don't like it. OK, so once in awhile, I play a joke on my teenager & put something silly in his garden. It's just a Mom's way of connecting to their kid---heaven knows our world needs good parents like JT & I. Even Marty & Kevin know we are good neighbors---we put up a fence & at their request, we took it down. Now that's a good neighbor. We've enjoyed many things about living here---there are a few things I could have done without but let's face it--we live in America--Land of the Proud, Land of the Free. Free to have a garden---if you don't like it, don't look.

Bull Sh*t!

At the August meeting Mayor Bell begged people to speak against flowers and for polluting turf grass. No one would speak for that side. Thelma was present but she would not speak. And she did not show up last evening at the October meeting.

I understand. Thelma's easement is very ugly! It is browned out and full of dead grass. To see it for yourself, go to http://strathmoorvillage.blogspot.com/ and scroll down to ''Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder.''

Don't bother with this site in the future. This site is largely petty gossip and few people read it.

If you want to know what is going on in Strathmoor Village go to http://strathmoorvillage.blogspot.com/ - positive site. You can see photos of the picnic and links to sites that promote healthy living and responsible environmental stewardship. This is a positive site striving to make Strathmoor Village a better community - we discourage hateful spiteful discourse like we are seeing here.

Don't let hateful people take you to gutter with them! Be positive! Think about and get involved in improving our community. Help improve our air quality. Help our children breathe better. Our air is polluted enough - we don't need to pollute our minds with the BS that is being spewed on this site.

Propaganda

SocioSam, don't preach to us about negative discourse. You are the source of more negativity in this city than we've seen for years. Strathmoor Village has been an extremely friendly place for its entire existence until this new mayor was elected and people like you started trying to force your opinions on us. I checked out your site, and it is nothing more than propaganda supporting your own views. Just because you put pictures of the picnic on there doesn't make it a positive site. There is no ''hateful spiteful discourse,'' because you do all the posts and don't allow anyone who disagrees with you to post. The fact is, your site and your posts here are full of unsupported opinions that you try to pass off as fact. How do we know that the pics of yards you claim to be Strathmoor Village officials are indeed their actual yards? In fact, the only one that can be positively identified doesn't even belong to the person you say it does. It's a completely different yard. That is a verifiable FACT ... something you don't seem to understand. I have yet to see you back up any of your statements with proof of any kind. So get off your high horse. And you'd better be careful about publishing false information about people on your website. We have a little thing in this country called slander. You are dangerously close to it.

OK T Brooks

Your post is so pitiful. Take a walk in the neighborhood. Look past the easements to the yards & homes. EVERYONE is different-----there isn't one plot of land that looks like the other. Good grief, you have got to be kidding. We have brick, block, stripped awnings, Halloween lights, porches, car ports, garages, wires, poles, road signs---there is so much to see. Just take a deep breath & get your eyes off the easements----the next thing you know, we'll have neighbors who don't like dogs. Can the neighbors who like to plant a few colorful flowers do so without this ridiculous bickering???
