Why must you switch up the song every 30 seconds or less? Can't you see the crowd dancing like nobody is watching? Would it kill you to let a song play a bit longer? There were several different groups of people who would get in the groove then be disappointed to hear another song mixed in and switched before the last one could even get to the best parts. Finally I decided I'd come up to the front to see if I could request a song. I wrote it in my note pad and showed my phone to you. That's when you shook your head in disgust and looked away. Maybe instead of assuming I wanted your number or that I was trying to give you mine, you could have at least read what it said. What a let down. I wouldn't have even bothered trying if you would let the freaking songs play at least half way. It's hard to jam when we only have 1/10 of the beats to every song. You and the crowd would actually benefit if you tried a little harder to please. —Just Sayin

Captains log 9 Feb.I made my Tuesday trip to work through that asteroid field that was the last snowstorm and found the sanctuary of the plowed parking lot at the top of strawberry hill in the north end,where I work. When I parked my green speeder at the top of the empty lot,I thought it would be safe but when i left,I had discovered somebody had damaged my drivers side light speed drive without any leaving any love notes. I don't need to report any names to the leader of the first order but if you want to be my valentine,drop off 150 credits or bars of latinum to pay for the replacement of the damage you did.I am in a few days a week or you can contact the parts store to find me. If you were up there shopping or possibly clearing snow,it was a bumper higher than my car that dented the hood and smashed the lens in. —lean green machine

For everybody who wants Cindy Day fired for making a comment that was arguably not malicious is being absolutely ridiculous. Yes, having somebody lose their whole livelihood over something that personally offended you is totally proportionate. The comment wasn't directed at autism, it said he wasn't a meteorologist and that he was wrong about a storm. It was directed at his work. What? You think autistic people need you jumping out from behind your keyboard and saving them from anything critical or negative? I personally think Frankie is awesome at what he and doesn't need the paternalism behind hundreds of mean Facebook posts. Do you actually believe that ganging up and tearing a local to shreds online for a comment with no intentional malice behind it makes you a better person, brings social inclusivity, promotes kindness? Or do you just like the validation you feel when you join the mob? —Douchey doesn't make the world better

Stop fucking yelling all the fucking time. Man, your life must be terrible. Jesus fuck...it's every day you are yelling about something. Right now it's "I hate everyone, fuck you ahhhhhhhh! ahhhhh!!!! Fuck!!!" Just fucking make a positive change in your life or check yourself into the NH and be done with it. —Tired of Hearing it

To the meter maids in the North End, quit it!!

I live in one of the many beautiful North End Halifax heritage row houses that do not have a driveway. As a car owner, I am forced to deal with the woes of on-street Halifax parking, exceptionally infuriating during the winter with the parking ban. Most other Canadian cities have figured out a way to accommodate this situation, by allowing for parking on one side of the street on certain nights, and then switching to the other side of the street the following night, in order to allow for snow removal on both sides of the street. Not in Halifax, no parking whatsoever.

So I secure off-street parking during the parking ban from 1 am to 6 am, and wake up at 6 am on a storm day (work cancelled) to move my car back to the street, so the parking lot can be plowed. Then at 1.20 pm in the afternoon, I receive a $50 parking ticket because my car was "surrounded by snow". Are you kidding me??!! The parking ban says nothing about parking on the street at 1 in the afternoon.

This is following a small war regarding the distance a car can be parked from an intersection, where the meter maid was measuring from the end of the straight edge of a rounded corner, and not the corner itself, and giving tickets. Thankfully the city official whom I spoke with had multiple complaints about that individual and their measuring and revoked the ticket, but come on!!

I suspect that parking enforcement are getting a commission on tickets, which is why they are illegally ticketing cars. This needs to stop!! Do we really need an army of meter maids patrolling the city who write illegal tickets in order to support their existence?? Trim the herd!!

—Look out for snowballs there bud!!

I took the time out of my day to draft an excellent cover letter to you and you asked me via email to come to your clinic for an interview first thing that morning. I received no phone call. When I checked my email later in the morning, I saw that you had sent a one liner "Ok i will interview you. Can you come in today for 8:45?" I explained to you that I was just now getting your email...I asked for another interview time, but you chose to ignore me. I'm sooo sorry that I'm not a clairvoyant who knew to sit on her thumbs in front of the computer. I didn't see in my crystal ball that you'd email, demanding I fly over to your end of Halifax on a second's notice. Or maybe you were annoyed that I accidentally referred to you by your first name, rather than "Doctor So and so"... Well, DOCTOR, people out here are looking for work, we are struggling and we spent hours of our valuable time applying to hundreds jobs like this. Most illicit no response, and when we hear back from someone, we get our hopes up. The very least you could do is let a candidate know you decided to hire someone else. Well lady, you did me a favor as I wouldn't want to work with someone that demanding, rude, unprofessional and narcissistic anyway. Thanks for wasting my time! —Promoting compassion, communication and collaboration in health care - yeah right.

To a certain pro-life organization: Your offer of "help and support" to pregnant women in crisis makes me sick and angry at the same time. Having been in that situation myself, I know that a visit to your organization would have been traumatizing to me in an already difficult time. And I had the good fortune of having a solid support system around me. Take a good look at the information you're giving out. Unbiased my ass! —Pro-choice for Life

this goes out to a certain free newspaper wrapped in pink plastic and cast over my front step weekly. 1) i am all for papers in general, but i think your newspaper is a waste of valuable resources (sorry, but i never read you) 2) whoever throws you on my step always throws two to three of them, i am only one person! please send around a sign up sheet or something, and see who wants your paper, i feel awful throwing out so many every garbage day. thanks and best of luck, in a crushing competitive newspaper world. —a Halifax citizen, but not a part of your readership

You moved out, up and left, no goodbye, after all this time. —Who Does That?
