Valerie, thank you so much for sharing this with all of us through Rana.

I am so sorry for your son’s illness and his long fight.  I, too, had an uncle with Parkinson’s.  It is a cruel disease.

I had to start reading your essay several times as I was so emotionally reminded of my three journeys over the past three years.  I had to watch both my…[Read more]

I had absolutely no side effects of my virus shot, not even a sore injection spot.

I received my Pfizer vaccine at Walgreen’s and, at the time, they were not taking appointments for the 2nd shot due to a shortage.  Since that time I am logging on a number of times a day to make my 2nd appointment which is due on Feb. 15th.  At the moment they a…[Read more]

What a very sad day for SCA and especially those of us who knew him personally.  I always felt better when I saw Charlie as he always had a smile on his face and a kind word.  Charlie, we will all miss you….I will miss you.  My sincerest sympathy to his wife and family.  Rest in peace Charlie

Patsy

Or, if you are a non-fixit person like me you can call someone to do it for you!!!

Seriously, I want to thank Forrest for his help over the years and it’s great to know he is always available for advice to our residents.  Keep up the good work, Forrest!

Patsy McCarthy

Bravo, Rana!

Patsy

Dan, I commend you for rejecting what was, in fact, a bribe to a politician.  It doesn’t matter what you call it, it was still a bribe.  That takes the integrity that have always possessed and I admire you for picking up the pieces of your life and starting over.  I am happy to call you my friend.

Shame on the “other guy” for his blackmail ta…[Read more]

In other words, Sandy and the BOD don’t want it shown before the election.  Why doesn’t that surprise me?

Patsy

What a well balanced slate of candidates.  Each has a background we desperately need in SCA.  I am so proud that these five residents have stood up and put their money where their mouths are.  I was very impressed by their biographies.  This is the quality of individuals we need to get SCA out of the mess made by the current board.

I have alr…[Read more]

Amazing how you and I think alike!  I figured this “survey” would be loaded and sure enough it is.  They want to give away $250K a year of OUR money.  The board seems to forget that they are giving away their own money or perhaps they are rich enough in their retirement that they don’t care.  Some of us aren’t.  Like you, I can’t believe it will…[Read more]

Oh, and by the way, I never received the e-blast.  I am registered and get the Monday e-blasts.  Wonder how many others didn’t get it?

Patsy

When will this ever stop??  Here the board is spending more of our money to mail a survey.  How stupid can you get?  My vote is not only no, but HELL NO.

Patsy

Thanks, Rana.  You can also email me at: pmccarthy@cox.net

CONGRATULATIONS, ALEX!   AND, GRANDMA!

I know you are bursting with pride.  I’ve watched Alex grow up and he is truly a nice young man.  Why wouldn’t he be…..you are his Grandma.   What an achievement to graduate with all those degrees.  I knew he was smart, but WOW.  He has the world at his feet and I have no doubt he will grab it with gusto…[Read more]

I think it’s amazing that the person with no moral compass whatsoever says Rana has lost hers.  He should get a grip.

Patsy

AMEN!!  I am so tired of all this bickering and bashing.  I love SCA and chose 16 years ago to spend the rest of my life here.  I moved my Mom (now 104) here with me so we could lead a peaceful, tranquil life in a city I came to love long before I moved.  Maybe we should just build a giant mud pit and let these guys sling it out and get it out of…[Read more]

OMG, here we go again.  Deciding an extremely important matter right before the new board is elected.  We’ve waited this long, why not a little while longer?  This is absolutely ridiculous.

This is too important a decision not to put it to a vote of all residents.  I believe only a small number of residents want a new restaurant.   I am not one…[Read more]

Rana, thank you for sharing this with everyone.  It was fascinating!  I often wondered why Jewish people were so fond of Chinese food as, frankly, it always seemed odd to me.  It’s not anymore.

Patsy

Did the “other guy” and I read the same article?  He referred to your comments as “Nazi”.  Why, because you used the word “purify”?  Wonder what he calls Purified Water?  I think he has finally gone all the way around the bend.

How dare he refer to you using the word “Nazi”, a Jewish woman.  That is totally rude, revolting and reprehensible and…[Read more]

OMG, what have we become?  I am having a hard time absorbing the news, but, quite frankly I’m not surprised…..and that is sad.  Unfortunately, I could not attend yesterday as I was in the middle of medical tests.  I will be quite frank and tell you that I only voted for one board member this year…..NONA TOBIN.  This is what she gets for bei…[Read more]
