A Comment Worthy Of A Post


"Jedadiah Cross has left a new comment on your post "Slow Morning":

My Christmas wish would be Joe and Chief See ringing together anywhere. In the spirit of the season, it would be nice to see them work together for a good cause. I bet the Chief would do fine if he just let his defense down and tried to get along. It would be a sight to behold and a real message of cooperation and fellowship. Can this be arranged ?"

Mr. Cross:

In the spirit the Holidays, I would be more than happy to stand with not only Chief See for two hours ringing a bell for the Salvation Army, I will also extend that same offer to Chief Webster from the Salisbury Police Department.

I believe I have proven time and time again that I am willing to put personal issues aside and do what is best for the cause, hence the Humane Society as just one example.

So, that being said, you have my word in writing on this Blog and if ANY one of you want to make that arrangement, just tell me the time and place and I will be there. I'll even go so far as to say, "any time, any place." It's the right thing to do and my guess is that we would raise more money than anyone has ever raised locally in the past for two hours worth of bell ringing.

I don't think your phone will be ringing anytime soon.....even in the spirit of Christmas.

You tell us when & where and we'll fill that kettle!

I'd pay to see it!

Joe, ur more man than me if you will stand next to those two wannabe chiefs for more than 10 minutes.

anonymous 9:05,

Thank You, however, let's just see how manly these two are. I've been caling BOTH of them pussies for years. Perhaps they'll prove me wrong and show they're a bigger men than me?

joe albero said...

man, sorry.

I'd pay good money to see that, either chief. Hell, I'd pay twice.

Joe,

Maybe in the spirt of the season and helping those in need we could leave the name calling out of it? Then maybe we can get something done?

Anonymous said...

Don't wait for that phone call Joe. Hell, they get paid to provide public service and they can't do that right. You think they would VOLUNTEER to do any good in our community? That is sooooo beneath them, unless of course there is booze served.

What is spirt?

If people have the money to put in a kettle manned by you and your foes, then they have the money to put in the kettle in the first place. Why would there have to be some entertaining publicity event? Shouldn't helping the needy be the only point? So, fellow bloggers, if you would have extra money to put in a "Joe and Foe" kettle, just give it already!!!!

Joe, I was just thinking. If you did get Chief See there I believe he would rob the Salvation Army blind. He has already robbed the taxpayers of Salisbury millions of dollars and still robs them everyday with a take home car and gas.

I think it would be a wonderful thing for Joe, Chief See and Webster to ring together. Its not about raising money. Its about the spirit of cooperation and humanitarian acts to benefit the less fortunate. These men have their differences,but they share a common belief in serving others in their time of need. They could certainly get along long enough to man the kettle. I challenge these men to make this happen. Show the public the spirit of the season.

Anonymous said...

These men would get together and make this happen. The thing that stands in the way is the Mayor. She is to blame for alot of the tensions between these men. She dares them to talk to Joe or she will deal with them. All Joe wants is a straight answer and the Mayor wont allow that. I hope these men can buck the Mayor and do the right thing. What a step in the right direction.

Chief See wont get anywhere near Joe. He puts on an act like he's a bad ass and in reality he's harmless. He has always been a paper tiger and full of hot air. He is so affraid the Mayor will reem him out if he says anything to Joe.
Gordo will lurk in the wings and thinks he's to good to ring the bell. He is too busy making his millions in gas and spending SFD money.
Don't waiste your time waiting for these two farmin to ring your bell. It ain't gonna happen.

Anonymous said...

7:52 yes, I said I'd pay to see all of them together but that didn't mean I don't put money in the kettle any other time. Every single time I pass by it at the Fruitland Wal-Mart I drop in my change from my purchases.

Anonymous said...

If See and Webster were to join Joe in ringing for the Salvation Army that would send a message loud and clear to the mayor that she does not run things any longer. She would know her retribution would be worthless.

Come on guys, lets over throw the queen, once and for all. Not only would the Salvation Army benefit but the entire community that you are paid to serve and protect.

Maybe Rick Hoppes would step in and show us all a good example?

joe albero said...

This isn't about Rick Hoppes. I personally don't have any issues with Rick. For what it's worth. However, I'd be happy to stand with Rick and ring the bell.

Anonymous said...

Has the Salisbury Police Dept. commited to ring bells for this cause? How about the Fire Dept.?
It would be nice to see them. I'm assuming the Sheriff's dept. are all on board, since Mike Lewis is so involved.

Anonymous said...

Rick Hoppes is just as big a thief and Gordy and See if not worse.

He is smart enough to fly under the wire to fool you Joe. Why do you suppose he is doing that? Hmmmm.... can you say "I want to be the next fire chief."

joe albero said...

That could very well be but I have never personally had an issue with Rick. I'm not saying I support him but I will clearly say I have nothing against him. As a matter of fact, I'd be guesing by saying Rick would have a serious issue with one of his Firefighters placing a dead skinned deer at the end of our driveway. As for See & Gordy. They were laughing their asses off because they're two sick pieces of shit and have that LITTLE MAN syndrome. Chief See got a taste of me getting in his face at the Sheriff's Department last summer and now knows I won't back down. Gordy hasn't been so stupid.

Again, I believe Rick would have issues with one of his people doing this.

Joe I didn't know you were a Kool Aide drinker. Don't fall for his crap. If you only heard some of the things he has said about you. Ask Chief Records.

Anonymous said...

Why does everyone always refer to "kool aid" when asking if someone has lost their mind? The first thought I have when I see this is all the people who drank cool aid with cyanide in it....some religious cult back in the '80's I believe. There must be a better way to call someone crazy.

Not really. They couldn't get anyone to help them so they took just anyone. One of the vollies is called Trailer Trash if that tells you anything.

I wonder how much they pocketed. There are quite a few thieves among them.

joe albero said...

Give CREDIT where credit is due. I tip my hat to ANY and ALL of the Firefighters our ringing the bell.

Remember Folks, they're still short handed and could use ANY help volunteering. Thank You SFD.

What exactly is trailer trash and can you define that for me please?
At least, to quote you,
" The Trailer Trash " is out there.
I say High Five to the Trailer Trash for being out there! Damn I hate that term! But from what I gather..the Trailer Trash is a much better sort of person than you are! And no..I don't live in a Mobile Home but I must live in a better place than you do. At least I don't have to crawl out from under a rock to see the sun everyday.

Hey Anon 3:07 PM,

Most of the Farmin in Salisbury are trailer trash and you are probably one of them. I guess it got your feelings hurt. Now go back to your "mobile home" and pout for the rest of the weekend.

Why can't you do something good without bending our ears about it?

many of the "farmin" in salisbury do not live in trailers. many have nice homes get it straight. i feel many of you are just jealous of the fire service and these "farmin", because the are actually doing something constructive with their time not always on her bashing everyone. SO GO OUT AND GET A REAL LIFE PEOPLE.

I'm sorry that you can't read or spell. I'll repeat, I said I DON'T live in a mobile home (OR a trailer). I have a very nice home. I am NOT a Farmin, whatever that is, and I am not affliated with any Fire Dept. I also have a good job which provides a wonderful community service. I am a single Mom and through hard work and sometimes two jobs, I made it. After paying my bills, sometimes, I even have some money left over! I just asked a simple question. What the heck is trailer trash? If the saying is true, it takes one to know one, I thought the one who called someone that would be able to answer.

Is there a difference between a bonecker and trailer trash?

The fireman they are refering to as trailer trash doesnt even live in a trailer.
