My son was telling me the other day how much he missed living where he used to live. He talks about it all the time. I told him-nothing in life is worth living someplace you don’t like-There are situations that come up that force us to do things we don’t want to do and maybe to reside in places we really don’t like.
But, if you have a choice-above all-follow your heart and live in a place that makes you happy. That didn’t happen to me-I have lived here in Cheshire for nearly 25 years and I will be honest-I have not liked it.
When you live someplace you don’t like it does affect you-it affected me.
I can’t stand this phony tiny mind tit turd town. And next year I AM GONE!!! THANK GOD!!
I know there are people who are glad I will be leaving-believe me-not as happy as I will be. I have a teaching position at Kansas State University and I AM GOING THERE TO LIVE!!. My last child will be 18 by 2010 and out of high school-GOODBYE.
It is sort of sad in a way, because when I first moved here it was nice. Everybody seemed down to earth and friendly in our neighborhood. Then as the years passed, these people moved away and these stuff shirt I wants moved here and ruined everything with their demands.
When I first met my spouse he used to go out to Town Council meetings, Board of Ed, Planning and Zoning and get petitions and really get involved. That’s when I noticed things starting to change-he would come home-”oh I got a ticket for this” “or I got a ticket for that”
They even started on me. Don’t tell me about Cheshire-I had this town pegged 10 minutes after I was here-the powers that be use the police department to quiet people down. They are too aggressive because there is TOO much pressure on the rank and file to make arrests and get their quota-that is the bottom line.
It IS starting to change-but it has taken years of pounding and pounding to get the authority in this town used to being criticized. IT HAS CHANGED-but then every once in a while, I see them slip back into their old habits.
This became a painful reminder to me this past week when I read about the arrests of a few people I have come to know in town over the years for “disorderly conduct”
My spouse and I know these people-I don’t know the circumstance of their “arrest” because the Herald REFUSES to print the STORY BEHIND THE STORY!! If you get charged with an arrestable offense, what led to these charges should be in the paper.
All I know is these people are NICE individuals. All they know how to do in this town is slap cuffs on people to keep them in their place, in plain English-that is it.
One day several years ago I saw that God Damn police gauntlet on Rt. 10 around the holidays and I BLEW A GASKET. I ain’t gonna drive in no boy’s town looking here looking there for the cops. I am NOT A TARGET-THAT IS A DEPARTMENT STORE!! This is THE REASON I started UTH. IT WAS REVENGE!! IT WAS TO EMBARASS AND ENRAGE THE AUTHORITY IN THIS TOWN!!
That is why I did the UTH shows on Cable that the powers in this town TRIED TO STOP from being put onto the air!! I can tell you the best thing that ever happened especially for Cheshire was websites and blogs-this allows people to question the authority and have some leverage if they try to retaliate-like publicity!!
Well anyway-I usually don’t get involved with what other people are saying on their blogs, but I know a few of you wanted to know if I would comment on whether publicly airing on a website or over the media, someones voice mail message is considered “illegal”
I am not passing judgment here, but I did find an interesting article that does sort of address this issue.
