Feline disagreements and civil discourse in Burlington’s New North End
“I thought it was great that people could discuss their views in an open and not hostile forum. Life is not always harmonious, but open discussion is a good way to know how others feel, and, if we are truly open minded, we may even change our own view. If not, at least you can see their side and appreciate our differences. Thanks to all who have read the ongoing cat diaries and have at least thought about other view points.”

Sunflowers in Waterbury
“I love FPF! Last week I posted a request for a place to buy sunflowers for a friend’s party that wasn’t too pricey and got several very generous offers from people offering to share theirs! Thank you so much to all of you who offered, it makes me want to be more generous in return. Our party was full of beautiful flowers! Thank you Front Porch Forum!”

How sexy is your FPF?
“I am organizing an artistic bachelorette party for a friend and am in search of a male model who will feel comfortable posing nude for a group of women. Previous experience and interesting props at your disposal are a plus but not necessary. The party is tentatively set for Friday October 2nd. $100 for one hour of shortly held poses.”
