Why is the town always in the news -after a disaster or crime occurs- trying to do damage control? There are dozens of illegal and unlicensed businesses in town. If there were one set of rules for everyone and those were actually enforced we wouldn't be a state-wide joke.
I don't know much about the dog day care in the most recent news. They made a tragic mistake but they seem, by all accounts, to be very decent people. Maybe the business license terms were never properly
explained to them.

Hi.

I am the Woof Woof Clown. I am sorry you don't know much about doggy day care. You are lucky. I do!

I have a doggy day care business. At my shop every Dog's large indoor-outdoor daycare space offers many options for doggie entertainment and exploration.

Your dog's day is devoted to play, often including a dip in the splash pool. During the day, the younger, more active dogs play hard and then take a short nap to rejuvenate. The older, more mature dogs pace themselves, often taking cat naps in the sun.

The middle of the day is when dogs receive Spa Services such as bathing and nail trims and even birthday parties.

After the break, it's back to a full afternoon of indoor-outdoor play. Some dogs are active all day, while others prefer to relax and lie in the sun during the afternoon.

When 4:00 PM rolls around, the lobby doors open and dogs begin to go home. When we close our lobby doors for the evening, the overnight dogs are tucked into bed in the Dog Hotel.

Safety First
Your dog's safety is our primary concern. All of the adult dogs enjoy a fun, yet structured, day under the constant supervision of our highly trained staff. Our play area is securely contained on all sides and staff enter and exit with dogs through a double set of doors, which prevents escape artists from trying to squeak through. The general public has no access to the dogs at any time.

We also have separate areas for Big Dogs, Small Dogs and Puppies.

My favorite part is where yet another town employee admits to dereliction of his duties, Tonis said that he will not investigate without a formal complaint. He has been made aware of violations which his office is charged with enforcing and yet he is chosing to ignore them, much like that illegal car lot operating at the corner of Central and Station with at least 4 unregistered cars sitting in the yard with for sale signs on 3 vans that look like they came from a government surplus auction.
Come on Mark suspend him AGAIN before you leave town!
"Karen Powers, owner of home-based Tails-In-Motion, received a business certificate from the town clerk’s office on Feb. 27, 2008, to provide a dog-walking service, records show.
That same certificate - valid until 2012, but lacking a special zoning permit required to run a doggy day care - prohibited her from conducting business on her property and limited her contact with clients there to phone and mail.
“They indicated that they were only going to do dog walking,” Building Commissioner David P. Tonis said.“They had no kennel license, no permit to do anything else or to keep dogs at their home other than their own.
But Tonis said the town won’t investigate Tails-In-Motion without an official complaint, which the Shih Tzu’s owners, sisters Margaret Milne and Helen Bagley, had not pursued as of last night."

You obviously have too much time on your hands.

What is it with you? Why are you so interested in others? Why is slandering other humans so important to you? If not for the human need to connect with others, there'd be no @aplusk. Hell, there'd be no Twitter, Facebook or Social Media. We'd all live in caves and avoid eye contact. But we don't. We are human. And that's why they put the gossip magazines in the checkout aisle.

He's right. There's a reason why shows like American Idol and Big Brother keep showing up year after year. People like human interest stories. Sure, they like stories about puppies too, but mostly people like people.

So what does that tell us about how companies need to think about interacting with their audience?

Most importantly, they need to fire anyone within their organization who consistently refers to their audience as a demographic. They also need to loosen the power ties and become the audience for a while. Step back from the cold world of ROI and actually think about the experience that a real human being has with their product or service.

While most of us want to know how to make this work in Social Media, the idea of brand humanization is not a new concept. It's something that the best brands have been doing via traditional media for decades. Social Media accelerates brand humanization - through routine and timely interaction with their audience. On a human level.

Be interesting. Be sincere. Be human. The ROI will take care of itself.

1) Slander is spoken not written
2) Libel is written not spoken
3) The truth is an absolute defende againsy any claim of libel or slander. Everything that I have typed is true.

It may be true but only about 2 other people on this blog care (ror at least got your point the last 100 time you wrote the same thing over and over abd over again). Go back under your rock! If you are trying to make a point, at least make it interesting.

Ask Doink for help. You have Libeled so many people. This Clown is sick of it.

Consider writing a joke here and there?

Check out this site!!!!!!!!!!

JokesHey there! Welcome to our jokes site. What do we have here? Well it´s mostly a compilation of jokes and funny stuff that we have gathered and that you can help grow. Yeah, not only can you use this joke database for your own purposes but also you can help make it even bigger.

So go ahead and browse around the categories we have, dig a little, find the ones you like best and feel free to tell your friends that you came up with it and submitted it.

We won´t say a word… just tell your friends about the site! Give them the opportinuty to submit stuff too, come on, don´t be like that!
So far we have a couple of categories we thought of. If you think this would look better organized in a different way or that there should be an extra category, just mail us, we probably won´t pay any attention.

That said, let´s see what we have…

Special day jokes, birthday jokes, Halloween jokes, Christmas jokes… you know the kind of joke that involves Santa, the pope and Gwen Stefani on a chimney. Do you want to know what santa says? Look in the Special Day jokes, try under Christmas.

What else? People jokes… here of course, we laugh about different kind of people and Bush. We´ll try to get as many bush jokes as we can so next party you can look funny, smart AND politically compromised.

Next is Jokes of occasion, yes! Now everytime you feel like it would be a great time for a classy joke about something, we´ll provide the material!

Profession jokes, come on man, who said work can´t be fun? By the way, we don´t like lawyers jokes, we are thinking about removing that category. There´s no way lawyer stuff can be fun in any way. I don´t know, check it out yourself.

What is “Out of line stuff” you say? We included some sick, sick stuff in there man. So just don´t use any of these in serious situations since people tend to get ticked off really easy. Oh, we also threw the worst, unfunniest jokes we could find in there, so it´s up to you to figure out which one´s which.

And what about “Fun stuff”? is kind of self explainatory. Just look in there to find a few quickies to amuse your friends, they´ll love you and you´ll make their day.

Last but not least, it´s joke for the kids. Yes, this category is for all audiencies. I think… I haven´t checked in a while. Anyways, enjoy it and if you have something funny in mind, type it and share it with the world!

The point is, if you are hired to do a job then you do it properly and thoroughly. If you will not or can not do the job, then you neeed to go. It does not matter if you are a cop, a firefighter, a custodian, a street sweeper, or whatever- do your job or get out!

The next point is, you are not nearly as smart as you think you are. Including this post, this is only the 5th time that I have posted anywhere on Topix. So, I do not know who you think that I am, but your are completely wrong.

Instead of ripping down people's signs, maybe he should be out on the road checking if businesses are complying with our zoning laws. Of course not. He is the only zoning official in town, but he has axes to grind.

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Cancer

If you have children at home they'll be really playful today and quite a handful at times. Encourage them to burn off all their energy during the day otherwise it will be a case of tears before bedtime. There could also be a fractious atmosphere between you and a loved one, and this will quickly escalate into a row if you aren't careful.
