Hi, we had my daughter's wedding dress cleaned and boxed just after her wedding and put the box…Read More away for several days before deciding to peek at it just one more time, took the outer box off and peered into the "window" and we're astonished to see it wasn't her dress at all!!! Brides/Moms. Be sure to check to see that the cleaners give you the correct dress!

Great Claire! I look forward to helping you out :) Since you are part of the Belmont local…Read More community I have a special $25 off voucher for services - just remind me when you come in that we talked on the Patch!

Thanks for this - my dress is still hanging dirty in my closet after by October wedding! Poor thing…Read More is trampled - will look into getting it cleaned soon!

Thanks Maria! It is hard to hear criticism, especially when we are set in our ways. But if someone…Read More notices something, it's better to consider there perspective because they'll notice things we may not. Look forward to reading more of your blogs!

I know a little boy that is obsessed with Diary of a Wimpy Kid. These suggestions for follow-up…Read More books are great. Thanks!

Great, review! Saw it based on this and am telling all my friends to see the movie.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. You left out the word communist, and you also neglected to blame President Obama.
Vanessa Castañeda (Editor) May 4, 2013 at 05:51 pm
Agreed. Thanks for putting this together for us, Cliff.

In our first meeting here I told you that I believed that any discussion or argument here was not…Read More done to change the minds of those involved, rather it was to influence those who are reading them; third parties.
You have been very helpful in that regard. Anyone reading our exchanges can see you for what you are.
I tried to have a discussion with you and could not even agree on the definition of words with out hours of argument
You have an agenda and you will not allow anything to get in the way of it. That agenda includes trying to circumvent and weaken the 2nd amendment and redefine it's intent.

Once again you misdirect. You made a specific statement about one California piece of legislation…Read More you claimed did very specific things and, therefore, was unconstitutional. I'm not arguing the constitutionality. I'm arguing that the factual basis, the things that legislation does, is wrong. We can't even begin to discuss the constitutionality if the facts are wrong. I have provided the evidence that your facts are wrong. You have yet to counter that evidence. And now you change the conversation to "the constitutional intricacies within hundreds of pages of proposed state & federal firearms legislation written in legalese." You made very specific factual claims about one specific piece of California legislation. I've provided the bill number as well as the analysis. And all you can do is now quibble over whether eristical is a word that I should have looked up.
I will never understand why you and the rest of the right-wingers are so incapable of understanding that if they post "facts" in the context of their arguments that are proven to be false, they believe the problem is with the person who proves them wrong. Seriously, Jeff ... if the factual basis for your claim of unconstitutional provisions is wrong, how can you keep arguing the legislation is unconstitutional? Why is it so hard for you to back up those "facts?" You're proving yourself to be no better than the rest.

You imply far too much, sir. But your further response implies other things. First, that I have…Read More ever questioned your interest in defending the Constitution. I have not. Second, that somehow those who haven't served in the military would somehow have less of a desire in preserving and defending the Constitution.
It's interesting, everybody I know who has served in the military who has expressed an opinion on the issue has stated that above all, they believe in the right of others to express their opinions, that what they were defending when they served was the beauty of the divergent views and opinions that exist in this country. Sadly, most of what you've done on Patch is contrary to that concept. As you have done everything you can to squelch any legitimate conversation about these important issues.
No, sir, I have not served in the military. A fact that I am not ashamed of. And a fact that is irrelevant as to whether or not I have a strong desire to preserve and defend the Constitution. Nothing I have suggested is an attack on the Constitution.

"Following the lead of Pacifica and So Cal Surfrider Foundation - who has banned smoking on 30…Read More Southern California beaches"
"Surfrider" banned smoking on 30 Southern California beaches? They did nothing of the sort. Perhaps they are happy about it (works for me), but please do not give credit to them for something they did not do.

Completely gross. I'm glad you're working on this issue.
Vanessa Castañeda (Editor) May 2, 2013 at 11:55 am
David, it's so true. I was out there on 4/20 picking up trash on the Pacifica beach for Earth Day.…Read More We picked up bags and bags of trash. Half of what we picked up was cigarette butts. It was pretty gross. Maybe smokers could repurpose doggie doo bags, which are usually available in public spaces, as temporary cigarette butt holders.
