Firemen’s Auxiliary

A very special thank you to the Firemen’s Ladies Auxiliary. Saturday, they had a fundraiser at the firehouse. The chicken and biscuit dinner they served was absolutely delicious. Next year I think I will order two dinners for myself. Thank you to all who made this a special meal.

Kindness of strangers

To the very special father and daughter from Sand Hill Rd, who helped us unload our truck load of branches at the West Bloomfield drop off area, we are eternally grateful to you. Many sincere thanks, we couldn’t have done it without you. Your kindness is rare!!

Store music

Does anyone else notice the obscene and loud music in many stores? I hope store managers see this post. Most people over the age of 40 are the ones that actually go out to shop, the rest buy online and never set foot in a store. Sometimes I would like to stay and look around but the background noise/music forces me to make my purchase and get out ASAP. Maybe the cashiers have the freedom to play music they like. Maybe it gets piped in. We don’t want to hear loud, trashy, pounding and screaming when we enter a store; it’s not conducive to shopping. How about trying different music? Please.

Neighborhood trash

We live in the [local road] area of [local town]. We have complained for a long time about disgusting neighbors who shouldn’t be allowed to live in those conditions. [Code enforcement officer] nothing. The place recently burned and now it is even worse. Now there are rats and all kinds of creatures. What do we have to do to get it cleaned up? Maybe my next move will be to the state health department. I have had enough.

Price gouging

Ever do your math and realize how much we’re overcharged and gouged for products? A bottle of water costs X amount. Multiply that by the cost to buy a case. Drinks in restaurants and food prices, just to name a few. Unbelievable profits. Inflation is 5% over the past 3 years down from 8% when costs skyrocketed. Price of gas for delivery? Inflation? Inflation has gone down slightly. Why haven’t costs gone down? They were quick to go up. Why do we accept this?
