I'm still here, although I haven't visited this board in quite a long time (what happened to the layout?? ) I wish Ringo11 would post more of her story, but I'm thinking life has gotten in the way. Cheers, Ringo - your story was fabulous!

Cream~Tangerine:
I am SO freakin PROUD OF MYSELF tonight I could BUST!! I kicked some serious BUTT at the city council meeting tonight. It went over four hours but, when I got done speaking * and I WAS shaking in my boots at the very thought* I had every council member on my side at the end. They were all saying I was articulate and drove my points home and the by law officers were saying that they were going to start firing off letters. They gathered round the little group I got to attend after the meeting and really backed us up. OH and our item was only "tacked on" at the very end of the agenda tonight as an afterthought!! We weren't going to be allowed to speak they were just going to add it on and let us "know" when they would vote on it. BUT they decided since we waited so long to let us talk. I went up to that podium and poured my heart out as calmly as I could. THEN all the other people I got to attend spoke........the ones who all elected me to speak and said the weren't going to!! But we did it!! The by law will be changed by September but, more importantly. When I got HOME if all this wasn't enough, the CHAIR Of city council and my own councilman were parked outside my house waiting for me to inspect this issue personally!! This is after a four and a half hour meeting at midnight! They went round the street with me, and really CARED. I cannot believe they actually came right over here after this ages long meeting based on what I'd told them and you know what??? We are going to be able to stop a slum lord from taking over one of the most historic neighborhoods in North America because of this! One councilman even said "You have made me think of Joni Mitchell "They paved paradise and put up a parking lot" I about died because I have always loved Joni and I was so scared to do this, especially speak in front of all these stuffy councilman.....so when he came out with that Joni line, I felt so blessed! LOL! I'm on cloud nine. I used to be SO SHY and I still am but, tonight I did something I was scared of and I did a good job. ops: ops: YAY!!! *ahem* ok, thank you. lol.
Woo Hooo!!! You rock! I'm really shy too. I probably would have fainted before I even got to the meeting. Heck, I feel sick when I have to talk in a group of 5 people.
