Oh Mz.Finger-Painter, it most definitely been a long time since I posed for the glamour shots photo. As many folks on facebook or email use memes, quotes and cartoons as identifiers, I use my glamour shot. Not to disguise or hide themselves as you accuse but to remind us of an event, a time or wondrous experience in our lives. My glamour shot visage reminds me of when my sister, Kari and I took our grandmother to Sioux Falls as a surprise for her December 25th birthday. The day was a wonderful outing for a grandmother and her two adult grand-daughters. As we entered the studio, my sister and I explained to Grams that we were there for a make-over. Grams looked around and said in a not-so-quiet voice there were quite a few there that needed a make-over and my sister bolted out of the shop. The stylist/make-up artists did their magic and turned us over to the male photographer who flirted with my 88 year old grandmother much to her delight. Everytime I look at my ‘shot’ and Grams ‘shot’, I remember with love that special day we had together.

If remembering my grandmother with love and affection is living in the past, so-be-it. She passed away on my birthday in 2004, exactly 19 years ago.

Ma’am my blog orginated out of the need for a public response medium ’cause the local newspaper editor, Mr. Hill refused my responses to accusations. I started using videos ’cause I was being called a liar by folks like FOPat. So Madame with your penchant of middle finger salutations, finger-pointing threats and obstruction of our duly elected mayor’s ability to perform his duty, what is your excuse beyond the obvious? My blog is not anonymous. How else would you know how to write me your complaints. You have used your voice to complain to me, however coward that YOU are you fail to sign you litany of accusations.

Now madame, I have elected to publish these virulent anonymous attacks. First to convince the powers that be that our Mayor was indeed under a malicious, venomous attack which pompted his resignation and once he felt he and his family was safe he rescined the resignation. Now madam, I realize you were not alone in sending me 18 pieces (at this point) of malevolent mail. However with this piece of mail, you have proved a pattern of ongoing harassment and threats suitable for charges. As I indicated in a previous blog, I have indeed contacted the police about this situtation as well as I have spoken to the local post offices out of which this mail was delivered. A small town post office usually has a pretty good idea of perpetrators such as you and your coven. At some point your quilling party members will cease to see the value in harassment, and will abandon you to your fate.
