NWI INGO General Post part 17

[chef larry]

Yes what YOU started melensdad!
Jedi blames you!

Does anyone know when the emmission sites will open up?
Could not find any new info online about it.

If you look on the chart you sent me it says the emissions sites are closed for now.

I went to Menards, Griffith, yesterday, they stopped me at the door and said I had to wear a mask. I have been in there 5 or 6 times in the last few weeks and not worn a mask. They have been doing this in Illinois for a while, I thought they had more sense in Indiana.

I wrote an e mail to corporate a while ago.

I was in Menards the day before the mask incident and there was a couple in there with an 8 year old boy and a 6 year old girl.

This is what I emailed to them and their response.

I have been to the Griffith Indiana store a half dozen times during this PANIC. I have not worn a mask on any visit. Yesterday I attempted to enter the store and was told I could not enter without a mask.
I believe it ic curious, if not rediculous that as the restrictions are being rolled back in Indiana you are making you making yours more stringent.
Your business, your rules. I will honor your rules by not entering your store. After all Home Depot is only a mile farther away.
I will check back in six months or so to see if you want my business.

Thank you Tom

Tom

I am very sorry we let you down. We need and appreciate your business. I appreciate the heads up on this and we will get on it at once.

Thank you,
Ray


I don't know what that means.

Lol@ thinking you'd get anything other than a robot response from a corpo... Lololol.


Once again, all these places you refuse to do business at wouldn't even bat an eye at your lost business.

Research in Iceland shows that over 50 % of those who get Covid-19 show no symptoms. They can still infect others. Many have had it and do not know.

I almost posted something about that BS.

Think of all the folks, in the BS threads, that are chomping at the bit to learn more about it, that you are depriving.

Anyone else's assessment increase ridiculously? Mine went up $52,500!

My property tax went from $1100 something to $1400 something this year.
My past property, when it went up alot, I told the wife that the assessment value of the house shouldn't be so high as to want to sell it to the State for that amount if they think it's worth so much.

10 hour later the greenhouse is up. Tomorrow, if my back and knees will let me, I will do some structural reinforcement and benches inside.

After lots of contacts talking, 6 sections of PoCo were hit the hardest (mine being one). Everyone is filing the appeal I talked to.

A young buck like you shouldn't have all those aches and pains.

The chart said the DMV will be open at 50% May fourth and would think the emissions site should be also.

 

[jedi]

Emmission should of never closed. It's all drive by now a days. Stupid really. So sick of all this. Ya should of funded my death star a long time ago!

I dunno. My garage sits on its own lot with a swimming pool, next to the lot where I parked my house. I pay more than that in taxes for my garage.

The chart said the DMV will be open at 50% May fourth and would think the emissions site should be also.

I'm unclear why they closed? Seems to me that tax collecting from the sheep is an essential gubmint service.

More correctly, there should be no emission testing. PERIOD. We are one of the only areas of the state to get this special service from our gubmint. I'm willing to give it up. They can give me back the % of my taxes that perform this extra service for NWI.

I don't know what that means.

Menards in Indy are doing the mask thing, so I'm guessing their security team will be reviewing video for the kids you mentioned so they can schedule a meeting.

Niemeyer sponsored a resolution wanting to do just that a few months ago.....https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local...cle_68772662-de78-5b1d-a05a-8750baf11c36.html

 

[2A_Tom]

They bring that up almost every year, but it never goes any where. I do agree that the testing should not be.

As for the kids in the store, they have all of these 8x10 sheets of paper posted at the door which I normally ignore in case one says I cannot carry.

The Menards link I posted shows that they do occasionally act on customer input.

Was grocery shopping this afternoon at Sam's club and there wasn't any meat in their empty coolers.

Seems like this may be the new norm for awhile.

Found what I needed for meat at Strack's and strawberry ice cream. Freezer is full and should last for the rest of the month.
