Get serious, don't put your family through this.  You should move yourself and not let the Sheriff do it.  Even if you have to stay with family, it is better than a forced move, because that is where this is going.  This has been done by a lot smarter people than you or I.  Time to turn the page.

You simply can't afford to live in our home, and we have a host of others who can, and have already leased it to a family ready to move in.  There is no shame.  One thing is certain.  You will not be in our home much longer.  I would avoid the traumatic path to your family if I were you and move yourself rather than have a forced move occur.

We have heard all of your rants and insults, but in the long run, this can't really hurt me or my family, financially or otherwise.   It is you who are putting your family through this.  You should do the right thing for them.

An Honest Answer from Edwards and Warren

You're probably getting a bit bored with my Elizabeth Warren "Native American" obsession.
~
I know I am.
~
But just once, I'd like one of these politicians to come clean.
~
Like John Kerry's running mate, Jon Edwards knocking up that campaign bimbo.  
More denial than the river in Egypt.
~
Jon... why couldn't you just have said something like.... "Yeah, I had sex with her.... mindless, crazy, who-gives-a- crap monkey sex... and now I'm paying the price of my ailing wife kicking my ass... and I really freaking deserve it.   Plus I knocked up the Bitch and will never live it down, so that's the end of trying to be Kerry's Veep."  
~
Seems to me, he could have taken the hit, got it over with, and be well into a nice career doing real estate passings or lawyer ambulance chasing down in the Carolinas by now.   Instead..... he freaking lies, his wife dies of cancer, he looks like the scumbag of the Western Hemisphere and most likely will be doing time in Federal Prison.  And the monkey sex???  Be more like gorilla sex doggy style for him in his new digs.
~
And for that matter... back to the Posing Pocahontas Warren....
~
When the erudite Law Professor got caught with her little Red hand  in the Affirmative Action cookie jar, why couldn't she just have said something like... "Yeah  I signed up as an Indian... and why the hell not??? I'm not that freaking smart compared to all of those chauvinistic male law professors and needed all the boost  I could get.  Plus, I never thought I would run for the US Senate and get caught with a little "Red Lie".  But you can't prove I'm not a Cherokee.  You freaking whites destroyed all the birth certificates."
~
Course that response would be outrageous, but at least it's believable, and probably the truth.  I'd still refuse to give her my vote, but at least I wouldn't be so insulted by her bullshit current answer of trying to find others out there who are 1/32 Native American that she could have lunch with..

That Explains It

How does a lie morph into a stupid lie?  Read below.

Mass. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren explains past listing of Native American heritage

By Associated Press, Published: May 2

BRAINTREE, Mass. — Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren said Wednesday she listed herself as having Native American heritage in law school directories because she hoped to meet people with similar roots.

Warren, a Harvard Law School professor, said she never tried to use minority status to get teaching jobs and criticized the campaign of Republican Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown for suggesting that may have been the case.

 “I listed myself in the directory in the hopes that might mean that I would be invited to a luncheon, a group, something that might happen with people who are like I am,” Warren said during a campaign appearance in Braintree, according to the Boston Herald (http://bit.ly/K2ppRF).

The listing did not produce any such contacts, and she later stopped using it, Warren said.

~

So you lied about your heritage to find other liars?  Man... I thought they were smart over at Harvard.  Glad I went to UMASS.

~

Note to Liz:   Shut the F'k up.   Do not mention this bogus topic again and hope that enough of your flock of mindless sheep never pick up on your "affirmative action" career move.

Note to Scott Brown:  Go light on spending  your campaign chest.  You are a shoo in facing this crazy phony and it's a shame to waste too much money.

Warren's Pow Wow

Elizabeth Warren is a Native American ....at least that's what her employer, Harvard University, said in an effort to explain the lack of minorities employed at that esteemed  "Institution of Knowing What's Best for Us".
~
We used to call the Native Americans, Indians.... but that is not politically correct.   And even though this pathetic blog is named after the great Massachusetts Sachem, Nanepashemet of the Naumkeags, I just can't warm up to the Democratic US Senate candidate from Harvard University.... and it's not just because of her insulting "talk down to the little people" political ads that she has been running.
~
I should be thrilled to see that native people like Warren are striding forward and running for Federal office.  Native Americans were brutally oppressed by the white settlers in this area as well as the rest of the American Continent.  The fact that Ms. Warren can succeed  despite the obvious obstacles in her path should bring a huge swell of pride for me, with my dedication to Native American heritage and all.
~
But I just can't see it with Professor Warren.
~
Can you?
~
Apparently, she listed herself as a minority in two other Law Schools where she previously taught but geneologists who have traced her heritage back to her mother's great-grandmother can find no Native American lineage.

Seems like there is a little liberal phony bullshit in play here.
~
If Warren is an Indian... then I'm Hiawatha.
~
How disgusting is it to ride on the Affirmative Action coattails of a genuinely oppressed minority when you are a middle class white women for all to see????  Harvard should fire her lying ass.  It's as bad as lying that you have a degree from Harvard... actually worse.  People go to jail for that, but Phony Pocahontas will walk free for her stealth of a minority designation.
~
Remember that comely Indian Maiden who got it going with Kevin Costner in "Dances With Wolves"?
~
I think her name was "Stands With A Fist."    The Rumor around Nanepashemet is that the Native American moniker for Elizabeth Warren is "Heaves the Cow Chips".

Fine folks, them godless heathens.

RIP Lou Panakio

Lou Panakio died in his sleep last night in Naples, Florida,  He was 81.
~
Greater Lynn area people will know him as the proprietor of Panakio Adjusters, a public insurance adjuster business started by his father, and which flourished under Lou.
~
I first knew of him when I was eight years old.  My father was proud to be his landscaper, and he took me with him to bury my dead parakeet in Lou's Walnut Street sideyard while we were planting  some marigolds.... unbeknownst to Lou.
~
He was a quiet and understated presence in the Lynn community and served on the Lynn Zoning Board of Appeals for 43 years with a strong combination of fairness, common sense, and political savvy.
~
His ability to provide service as an insurance adjuster was legendary.  I remember Jim Starratt, the Lynn Building Commissioner, once stating to me that if he ever had a fire in his house, his first call would be to Lou Panakio and the second would be to the Lynn Fire Department.    That was an exaggeration... but not by much. On every occasion that we used Panakio Adusters, Lou more than took the sting out of the loss.
~
Lou helped me land my first property management contract after I left the Lynn Housing Authority and later partnered on some ill fated development projects with me that went south in the 80's housing collapse.  There were some harrowing and embarrassing moments for me during that period, but Lou always showed a ton of strength and class.
~
He could always turn a phrase and was intolerant of Bullshit.  Many times, when I would embellish a situation to him his response was "That and a nickel will buy you a cup of coffee."  That would bring me right back down to Earth.
~
I was so happy when we reunited with Lou, his daughter Lisa, and son-in-law, Harvey Rowe three or four years ago.  When Lou first came into our Marblehead home at Beverly Ave., which we had just remodeled, he looked around and remarked to Harvey,   "You couldn't keep John Nestor down even if you buried him in a coffin six feet under and nailed it shut."  It was funny at the time, and I was thankful and proud to hear Lou say that.  But it was typical of his wit, good nature,  and genuine affection for other people.
~
He had a long and happy marriage with his wife, Marcia, and they both thoroughly enjoyed golfing at the Salem Country Club and from his condominium on the golf course in Naples, Florida.  A year and a half ago, when he was inducted into the Lynn Heritage State Park Museum for his contributions to the City of Lynn, his great lament was that his wife of 53 years wasn't alive to experience it with him.
~
Now Lou, you can tell Marcia all about it, and celebrate with her about the remarkable and fruitful life that you have just completed.

RIP Louis J. Panakio.  You will be missed.

POTW Week 17

Every once in a while, you can't have a win-win situation.  For things to go good for you, they have to go bad for someone else.   On these occasions, the only saving grace is if the someone else has some dispicable and disengenuous characteristics.  Then when you win, it's not so bad that the other party gets the ass end of the deal.

Announcing...
Nanepashemet Peeps of the Week for the 17th Week of 2012.

Brendt D'Orio
Patrick Piscatelli
Tom Egan
Kim Kardashian
Joanne Nestor
Bill Hillegas

My problem is that I'm too damn nice and easygoing.   Can't have win-win all the time.
Sorry.

Time Warp

It's been one of those weeks where you go to bed on Monday night and when you wake up it's Thursday.  I have no idea how the time has flown so fast this week.
~
All I've been doing is staring at a computer screen.
~
Yesterday, I started at 6:00AM and then looked at the clock that said 1:30PM.  What a freaking time warp!
~
"What am I working on????", you ask?   Long time Peeps know that the answer to this annoying question is "None of your Freaking Business."  Suffice it to say that I'm really glad that Nanepashemet Telecom came up short on the last two large procurements that we pitched, because the stuff on our plate these days requires our constant attention.
~
But I'm pretty sure that the current intensive effort will have a huge payback in the near future.
~
At least that's what the spreadsheet says.

Crucial Career Tool

Peeps.

Having a hard time seeing the screen this evening because I've been squinting at spreadsheet cells all day.  But it was for a good cause and a worthwhile investment of the day.
~
My career advice to you is to learn Microsoft Excel  Use it as much as possible and become as much of an expert as you possibly can.
~
I was an early adopter of spreadsheet software... Visicalc, Supercalc, Lotus123, and finally Excel which has emerged as the time tested standard.
~
Capturing my business and activity in an Excel spreadsheet has saved my ass and enhanced my career more times than I can count.   It's one thing to think you know the status and trend of your endeavors, but when you have it in hard numbers, you can send the pretenders, phonies and detractors back into their corporate-speak bunny holes and move your stuff forward.
~
These days, knowing your way around Excel is the only way to carve up the mountain of data that major corporations throw at you just to produce a freaking invoice.
~
A crucial business skillset.

Kate and Ethan

Auntie Kate and Grandson Ethan share a dessert.

Happy Birthday Mike

 It's my youngest son, Mike's, birthday today.
~
He turned out pretty good, didn't he?
~
I'm wicked proud of him.




Joanne and I are blessed to have brought three good people into the world.  Now it's their job to do the same thing with our Grandkids.

Scumbags and Payback

Ran into some scumbags at a local restaurant during dinner tonight.  One thing about scumbags is that they sometimes have a hard time looking at you in the face.  At which time, said scumbag also turns into your Bitch.
~
And speaking of Bitches.... Payback is one.  You screwed with the wrong group of people.
~
So enjoy your dinner Scumbags.  Payback is a Bitch and this is just the start.
~
Plenty of time left and a lot of territory to cover.
~
Bitch.

   Here's looking at you, kid. I thought I was the only official A-hole notifier and jerk identifier working full time. It's a never ending load and I can use some help carrying it.
