What exactly is ypur definition of "a bunch of morons"?
If you dismisd people you disagree with by use of name calling... what happens when you move on and disagree with others, elsewhere?
But please grace us all by answering this question. Is your husband’s transfer guaranteed or should we organize a collection to help speed up your departure? This is a wonderful community. But if you don’t like it, take a hike! Go back to the backwards, hillbilly town I’m guessing you came from. A place where your façade is believable and you can continue your extensive knowledge of inbreeding…
-------------------------------------------------
Oh no..not a raccoon. I totally saw the need to call the police and waste their time over this.
WTF...there are some really stupid people in this town. Are you all inbred? I am so glad I can say that I am not FROM California..I just live here. I will never be from here. And I can't wait until my husband gets transferred.
Why don't you declare yourself ruler and post a list of what citizens are allowed to call the police about?
Didn't you brag in a prior comment about your husband making lots of money? If you are so well off why don't you move now and rid yourself of all the inbred people you despise. If your husband works here and you have so much money, move anyway and have him rent a limo to commute, or hire some out of work person to drive him around. Maybe he can rent you an apartment somewhere to get you out of Tracy and visit you on weekends & evenings before returning to this hell whole.
Don't wait, use your husbands resources and get out now. I hate to see people be so miserable so hopefully I offered some ideas which may come in handy.
The other thing is this, a lot of people like myself moved here, from a place where we (as children) would have handled this problem ourselves. No janitorial staff or police calls.
But would I recommend that, at a school, where most people (including most of the adults) never had any exposure to racoons.
My advice. Stay clear of this animal, unless you know what you are getting into. And even then be careful.
A wild racoon can not only put a grown adult in the hospital, it may require administering rabies shots, to be safe.
I think there may not be a need for insults. But I understand your frustration and desire to educate someone.
I recall, having a pet racoon. Cute as a button and unbelievably tame as a kitten.
But that is not the picture of a normal racoon.
Believe me, I understand the parents concern, here. I would have done the same.
Racoons out in daylight are sick, or rabid, and just plain dangerous
Racoons may look cute and cuddly to children but are very agressive and dangerous
If I had a child at Triana, I would appreciate the warning and make sure everyone at the school was alerted
I am NOT over reacting and neither was Tracy PD who did the right thing by alerting the school
I will let the other slurs in amilee1978 posts show her intelligence on its own merits
I make the suggestion that perhaps YOU are the inbred one, since you have no idea of the dangers of this animal near small children?
Get a clue.
Get a life (perferably somewhere far from Tracy and SOON)! Again, people with your deteriorating personality are not welcome in Tracy.
Go get her Backinblack, superfly & redhotchilipeppers. Please educate this woman (if that is at all even possible)!!
Racoons should not be in close proximity to children gathering around them out of curiosity. They have very sharp claws. I know from firsthand experience, because I had one as a pet when I was a child.
The right thing, would have been to call the police number, because they will dispatch animal control, which is part of the police department.
BackInBlack - obviously if the husband made as much as she brags and she was as sweet as she seems online I'm sure he would have at least moved her to another city by now. She's just trolling for comments. I would suggest we all stop reading Amlee's future postings.
I now see your point.
Get involved! Do Somthing!
you guys spell great! Now "step away from the computer!"
You're precisely why this town isn't the friendly, neighborly town it was when we first moved here. Enjoy you and your kind.
You may have the last improperly spelled word. That is all.
make sure to walk away from your home too. I will pay your taxes n service increase fees!
Turned out the voters got screwed on both accounts, but they did it to themselves, because they let someone who does not live in their communities write the initiatives for them. They were even warned that these people were "not accountable to the voters" but they did it anyway.
And those people are trying to stop the swim center now.
