ReplyDeleteNothing under the OML complaint?
No discussion or input.
Wil must be so proud of you Bev.
Dave, What OML Complaint are you talking about.
ReplyDeleteI do my best to make everybody happy! Bev.
Delete#8 no mention here of oml documents.
ReplyDeleteMore business done on Blog time?
Careful kids.
Your in enough trouble as it stands now.
To bad will doesn't get through to the majority so Templeton can start a process to heal its business woes.
I think if Jeff quits again it will be a good start and "may"-be the next one way out.
David, #8 was about the advisory board finally getting their yearly updated info to sign open meeting paperwork.
ReplyDeleteRemember the letter posted here I believe from Rich Curtis saying they forgot to send OML documents to the advisory board members.
Nothing on #8?
ReplyDeleteWhat a cement head you are Dave.
ReplyDeleteDavey, you keep #1ing about #8 because you love to stir the #2.
ReplyDeleteCOWARD 3:45 4:28 can't handle it should shut down the computer.
ReplyDeleteBack in the closet with your type.

Take your free boots off and shut it down for the day. Too tight steel toes on a Friday night.
ReplyDeleteCOWARD 3:45 4:28 9:02 can't handle it should shut down the computer.

Good thing you are "in" with the right crowd, Dave. All this talk about "back in the closet" is not PC.
ReplyDeleteMy bad i meant drawer!
ReplyDeleteseriously ? u have said back in closet for weeks/months .....im not real pc or was I offended but own what you said ..... not anon 2/3/4/5/ or whatever names u wanna call me but if u wanna post something just either apologize -which personally I don't think u need to- or ignore as blog trolls will attack but don't lie
ReplyDeleteSo like seriously you think i meant anything about gays?
ReplyDeleteNot.The closet is where you store things and when the closet was emptied at the real Bolg i said then back in the closet. Most useless things go back in the closet so back in the closet with the ANON type and come back with a name like the real blog required your anon type to do.
Nothing about Homophobic was intended and any reader with a pea for a brain would have seen that.
But you as a anon can twist it anyway a nobody wants and good luck with your issues as they will require a professional for your to get better.
I don't think this blog will be the help you seek,it will only acerbate the illness you show here and the level of character you lack to need to post anonymously.
To bad your anon we may be able to point you in the correct direction for help you need but as a anon you have no ID and are a fictional issue.
If you come out it would help the issues you illustrate here on the fake Templeton watch. Just for the record i do like lesbians and once attended a wedding as i had to explain to my wife why they both had wedding gowns on. She thought it was a double wedding and was wondering where the men were.
So funny when i explained it to her.
I don't have the hate you claim i have Anon but you now there's a story to be told about pot shots and lack of understanding that will keep your ID hidden for some time if not forever.
So Seriously like right.
Thank you.
That's extremely illiterate, even by Dave's history.
ReplyDeleteThank you ANON!
ReplyDeleteSeriously!
