Paralegal - help me understand what a "paralegal business" is, exactly. My understanding is that paralegals assist attorneys in casework, preparation, etc. What activities/services would you be offering from your office?

merryjester

Also, so we know a bit more about YOU, please declare your positions on the following topics (the only things that apparently matter here in amcan online...):

1) Pro- or Anti-WalMart?

2) Pro- or Anti-Coffee?

3) Pro- or Anti-Curry?

4) East/West of 29?

5) Innie or Outie?

6) Select one of the ...

I must be missing something here... From the article:

we face potential economic ruin because of the potential success of the ... lawsuit

See, now *I* thought we face economic ruin because the Council rubberstamped the decision through without going through the proper channels/performing the ...

I'll admit to a bit of voter ignorance in saying that when I saw the ballot, and saw I could choose between Pastor Curry and some other dude, I decided on "some other dude" versus Curry. Silly me in finding that the "other dude" wasn't even running anymore....but still, when faced with the choice, I ...

Sorry to be naive, but why WOULDN'T the CC order a full EIR, if the downside is the city getting caught with its pants down and being liable to cost overruns and lawsuits?

I can imagine that such a report has not-small costs involved - both in terms of dollars and time - but really, isn't this how ...

merryjester

Sorry, CityBiz...can you elaborate? I'm not able to watch CC meetings at home, so I'm not as up to speed with regard to this as I'd like to be. What are the differences between the two and impacts of either?

Do you have an opinion on what the City should do?

merryjester

Mr. West,

In a separate thread on this board, you said:

Don't poke this giant in the eye with a stick, I may contact a PR firm in Vallejo and learn something about you, that you and Brett Jolley don't want me to know.

I think your implying that anyone who crosses you is subject to having their ...

merryjester

Hey, I'm all for jumping on VicRiv... But MCB, wtf? You bash someone for trashing folks who aren't in your clique RIGHT AFTER saying "you must be a Democrat because you talk out of both sides of your mouth"??? If the Fox News-watching radical right wing isn't a clique, I just don't know what is ...

merryjester

Not sure, but I recall they're pretty restricted - 10am-ish to not that late in the afternoon. I was in there a few weeks ago to check out the plans for the gym, and it doesn't look half bad. The equipment they'll have is all brand new, but not top-of-the-line stuff... Only 2 of the type of ...

merryjester

Anyone know the details behind the tunnel being dug under the RR crossing on American Canyon road, just east of 29? I read this was being done, and I see it going on, but it's not clear at all to me exactly why it's happening...

Just curious, seeing if anyone knows. Thanks!

merryjester

I agree with the last two posts. Four of the five came across as nice, intelligent, caring folks. Problem is, I don't necessarily see "nice" as a virtue in selecting leaders. I would trust Maguire (who I'm not saying isn't nice) not to make waves just for the heck of it, but not bend over backwards ...

Here's what I'm looking for in a candidate:

Someone who has a vision for the city, both short-term and long-term, that he/she can illustrate as professionally and succinctly as possible.

Don't care if you're "old area" or "new area".

Don't care if you're pro/anti war.

Not interested in cliche ...

merryjester

Texas.

merryjester

Does anyone have access to the plans for this site? MeadowsDude - you speak as if you've seen the plan and know the relative sizes of the park/etc. I would very much like to see what this project is all about.

And a side note: what's with all of the sentimentality over the basalt plant? In a ...

merryjester

They are, huh? Right on!

FYI, they had the potholes on the East side marked for the last week or so... They had painted brackets around each hole, indicating where they needed to fill. So I'd say to keep your eyes peeled for the brackets on the West side...

Or, I suppose you could just head out ...

merryjester

With regard to the communication issue....I would love to see this forum used by the Council to make announcements, etc. While I fully realize that the denizens of this board don't exactly comprise a plurality of the townsfolk, I think history has shown that a good number of people who care about ...

merryjester

LOL...touche. All in good fun, eh?

merryjester

I......is this true or just another lie? :?:

Zzzzzzz..... Ho-hum. Wha? Could it be AmCanIQof06 just spouting venom again without credibility or common sense coming to bear? Please, someone wake me when something new comes along.

Sounds to me like Paul just saved $4500 that would have gone down a ...

merryjester

Wow! Really stirred up the nest on that one, didn't I? Too bad "standard Frisco Bay Area Bezerkeley type Anti-American, Pro-Palestinian terrorist sympathizers, 60's pot head college administrators, and hippie drum circle participants" don't cry like babies when they get called names, or this board ...

merryjester

Wal-Mart announced in 2002 that they wanted to build 40 new Supercenters (specifically supercenters) in California over the following 4 to 6 years. Three years later, however, they still only have about 3 supercenters in the Golden State...compared to 1,700 nationwide. So Cali represents the largest ...

merryjester

I would be shocked if Wal-Mart would consider using the space for ANYTHING other than a SWM. Now, I have no way of knowing this and nothing even remotely resembling insider knowledge, but the story of the last 5 years' of Wal-Mart growth in CA seems to have a single track: find any community willing ...

merryjester

I did not notice any standard Frisco Bay Area Bezerkeley type Anti-American, Pro-Palestinian terrorist sympathizers; no 60's pot head college administrators; no hippie drum circles either; all I saw were MY kind of people

YOUR kind of people, I assume, being standard Jarhead, Redneck, Uneducated ...

merryjester

C'mon, Issa...dont'cha know? In this town right now, EVERYTHING ends up back at the Wal-Mart debate! Examples:

- Who's that crazy woman who lives by the little league field and how is she linked to Wal-Mart?
- Who's that crazy woman who takes donations at the City Council meetings, and how is SHE ...

merryjester

Heh...thanks, Issa.

AC06 - pull your head out; I was joking.

merryjester

Freakshow is right. Who knows what private beef prompted this person to drag everyone else into the fray, but on second thought - who cares? Stupid.

BTW, can we start a community grammar watchgroup? It's bad enough that flyers like these are spreading venom around our community; the least they can ...

merryjester

Ditto everyone's comments about service in that joint, but most importantly (and putting all that behind us...showing respect for the fiscally dead, as it were) ditto Paul's original comment that it's too, too bad to see a business close here in AmCan. Crossing my fingers that the storefront doesn't ...

merryjester

Ditto Palby's...although not for its asthetic "eyesore-ness", but rather for the constant reminder it provides of the lack of dining and entertainment options we have here in town. Don't get me wrong...I love Taqueria Rosita and Rancho Grande and Parry's Pizza and all, but when you want to go a ...

merryjester

Well, since Paul started this thread, I suppose it would be poor form to nominate the Card Room ( :wink: )... So I'll go with:

#2. The PG&E substation on the NW corner of AmCyn Rd and 29. This is the obvious choice, as far as I'm concerned. I realize they're busy working on it, making it better ...

merryjester

...so I made it over to Rancho Grande, and the advice I got on this board was right on the money: less class, a little more "TJ" styling, but authentic to the max and darn tootin' tasty, too.

Lucky for me, we have two awesome Mexican restaurants in town. Also lucky for me (or at least, my waistline ...

merryjester

Nah, doanworryboutit. That's actually what I expect when I see the word "taqueria". In fact, one could argue that by virtue of their using throw pillows in their decorating, Taqueria Rosita officially loses their "taqueria" standing. More like a cantina anyway.

So sounds like: you want cheap and ...

merryjester

Haven't visited Rancho Grande yet (but will after reading that post...thanks), but I gotta say that TR2 is a frickin' GODSEND. My wife and I are never disappointed, food-wise, and the style/atmosphere is remarkably hip (one could almost say..."upscale"...lol).

Now that Spring hath sprung, I can't ...

merryjester

Ok, ok...no slams, no flames, no diatribes about Wal-Mart or Coffey or '73 Pontiacs on blocks...just a simple question:

Anyone out there have a good dentist to recommend? My wife and I are looking for any suggestions in AmCan or points northward...

Thanks!

merryjester

Uhh..."ray of sunshine"??? I didn't realize that the beach resorts of Thailand were breeding grounds for terrorist infidels. And you're right...no more pirates using the Straits of Malacca. No more Straits of Malacca, either.

BTW, along these lines...I got an email from an accountant today saying ...

merryjester

LOL

I'd like to revise my comment. If folks like AmCan06 can navigate the web, then I suppose anyone can.

merryjester

Wow...amazing. I hope you all can get this settled before Wal-Mart opens up and the price of a dozen eggs drops.

Seriously, I'm not meaning to make fun. I agree with you, the chances of this poultry perp being able to navigate the Web are pretty slim. Good luck!

merryjester

Me? Super-chilled out on it, ACS-girl. I think your opinions (petty or not) are good enough to post at LEAST twice, if not three times. ;-)

Totally agree with you, and apologies if my last post sounded too negative (that's the durned thing with these keyboards...sometimes the true emotion doesn't ...

merryjester

Not sure I'm in a position to declare winners and losers (except for the Niners this season...Losers with a capital "L"), but I'll go on-record as a non-"Guest" and say that as a new 'Canner, I'm excited about what this community can (and hopefully, will) be, and say that I'm not excited about Wal ...

merryjester

The only preference I would have is that there's a change from the present situation. Unlike lots of others on this forum, my feelings for the current mayor aren't overflowingly vitriolic...although if half of the rumor mill is to be believed, I'm sure I could get there...but anyway, at the meetings ...

merryjester

Can't stand the suspense, folks...someone fill me in! I know a lot of the denizens of this message board aren't strangers to the inside of the City Council room, so I know someone out there has the skinny on last night. How did it go?

My wife and I were going to show up but had to make a last ...

merryjester

Hear, hear Issa. Thanks for the call to sanity and thanks for the website!

merryjester

LOL...yes, only lazy saps travel to Europe with any frequency. Of course.

Glad to see my fellow 'Canners so interested in (and so well informed regarding!) global politics.

merryjester

Allo, world!

Heard a rumor from a birdie who has it on authority from the guy down the street that there are plans to widen AmerCyn Road to four lanes... Anyone out there know if there's any truth to this?
