'Doesn't Charge an Arm and a Leg'

A look at comments from Patch account holders in the region.

 

A Restaurant 'Hatched' in Ridgefield 25 Years Ago

“It's one of the few, if any, places in Ridgefield that doesn't charge an arm and a leg.” - 

Buffoon of the Week: I Nominate Todd Akin 

“This is why we need sex education. It always has baffled me why Christians are so against educating youth about sex... If God created humankind, and birth is a miracle, shouldn't everyone learn how it works to fully appreciate the gift we've been given?” -

Linda McMahon for the US Senate

“If Linda wins...I hope she can repeal any and all Capital Gains tax which in ALL is so very unfair. Especially to the elder and mentally deranged. It should be retroactive as well.” –

Sallea Antiques Employee Catches NY Thief

“Bravo for the employee! They don't make them like that anymore!” –

Buffoon of the Week: Vice President Joe Biden

“Beltway Biden is DC's answer to Baghdad Bob. What kind of leader would choose him as a VP though? Seriously.” -

POLL: Should Obama for America Pay Westport’s Overtime Fees?

“Let's see he comes to Westport to raise money. Sherwood Island is closed, I95 is shut down, Metro North is diverted , Westport spends precious dollars on overtime and they don't want to cover the cost. I guess they just think they are above it all. They also must think CT is in his camp so who [cares].” –

Brookfield Police Bust Drug, Weapon Dealers on Blackwood

“Nice neighbors.” –

Region 14's Melinda McKenna Resigns

“One down, the rest to go. I have no confidence in the Region 14 administration. We have good teachers who are being shackled by pc administrators. We need competent leaders not kool aid drinkers.” –

Where DIDN'T you learn to write?? Jane Himmel May 22, 2013 at 01:27 pm "This has CONVINCED MYRead More GROWING CONVICTION that Patch has moved complete..."

I just called Staples. This is really disturbing to me. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, IRead More will let people know and I will also decide whether to continue shopping there. I do not like to give my money to unethical businesses.

This has convinced my growing conviction that Patch has moved completely away from any pretense ofRead More being a news source and is simply an electronic bulletin board. By abandoning their prior procedure of approving posts before they go up, they are letting anything go on and then taking them down if they're reported. By then, it's too late: the poster has gotten their message across during the time it's in the lineup. I only check in with Patch occasionally now and so many people in town won't read it at all anymore. I think we need to be honest with ourselves about what kind of a public forum this venue is. This doesn't reflect well on Staples if they are using subterfuge and violating Terms of Use on Patch either.

Tom, the tree warden doesn't just "put in trees and take them down" just like that. ThereRead More is a reason behind every tree that has come down or gone up. Whats with this town and trees anyway? It seems like a huge source of controversy...they are TREES.

if they had done it at night at least it wouldn't have been smudged. BUT, i happen to think itsRead More nice, and especially with the flags hanging. we forget we are a small new england town, and small things like the red white and blue stripes remind me that we still are! :)
