Clyde PottsI'm new in H-town, but I come over the hill evry now and then to enjoy a draft from Long Valley Brewery & Pub. So hello to all yous over yonder hill.
Hi LVLife!
Just another person from HackettstownLife (HL) saying hello to you! We do have a very busy group over on HL -- come on over and say hello to us at "The Lounge: Where the Happy People Are" thread at www.hackettstownlife.com.
Hope all is well in LV!
Hopeful in H-town Mrs.LV, That'ts really not very inviting. It seems as though people from Hackettstown are more outgoing and interested in welcoming new relationships with eachother and those around them. Do you speek for ALL of Long Valley when you shun outsiders from your "Steppford" town or are there any personable inhabitants of LV who would be willing to exercise some degree of humanity and associate with the rest of the planet (or at least their next door neighbors)?
Funny Mrs.LV, I have read several comments on the Hackettstown forum from Long Valley residents that were never tossed asside or rebutted because the authors were not Hackettstown residents. Your comment really disturbs me and probably others as well. If it doesn't offernd you too much that I am a Hackettstown resident from the "other side of the tracks", I would like to wish you and your family members (whom I hope are more social)a warm, safe and happy holiday season!
Reggie I grew up in Hackettstown, and live in Long Valley, so I think I would like to read both forums. We share a common border, and are neighbors....so let's be neighborly, shall we?
LVMomofBoys This forum needs livening up!!!!!!!!!! Maybe a HH is in order........Brew Pub anyone????
Calico696 GOOOOOOO MOOOOOORRRRRNING Long Valley!

Any out of the way places we should visit?

Mrs.LV, Thanks for the invite. I think we will stay now just to make sure you have a Merry Christmas. Maybe we all can chip in and get you a nice new Mrs. Grinch hat.
Mrs.LV: Would you like to take back your nasty post? You may not believe it from what you've been reading, but we really are a wonderful, loving and supportive group of people! (With a dark side, to be sure, but that's what makes us so much fun!)
So please jump in. You will be welcomed.
Mrs.LV, please excuse some of the emotional responses from the regulars over at Hackettstown Life. They can be a rowdy, emotional bunch but most times this is the way they post for "fun". While good intentioned, they can get rather childish and unsettling, if not outright mean, at times. Not everyone from HL, or from Hackettstown for that matter, acts this way. The original post better represents Hackettstown than do the responses to your post.
I would like to point out to you, however, that the description for the forum states that this group is for Long Valley and surrounding areas, implying that Hackettstown resident's posts here are welcome.
That was nice justintime. I would have to agree over at Hackettstown Life we are like one big dysfunctioning family. Please feel free to add your craziness here and there.
How about a combo Happy Hour some night? Hackettstown meets Long Valley. Like Calico said meet ya half way...
Firefly, it's easy to forget that these forums are out there for ~everyone~ to see. What gets posted here stays here for as long as the forum archives are active. Any "disfunctional" comments, out of context, will only lead to misunderstandings.
Just as Mrs.LV's post was probably misunderstood here. Until she clarifies we won't know, will we?
And I'm sure that you did not like my comments, just as I am sure that the LV residents didn't like some of the comments posted here and at HL about them.
OK, another button has been pushed. If I want to apologize for my words on this forum I will do so. I don't need or want someone (JIT) doing it for me. I believe we can all speak for ourselves. Mrs LV was rude and that's fine. She speaks for herself. "Rowdy, childish, emotional, unsettling and mean"?
Until someone is appointed "big kahuna in charge of comments made here," let us all speak for ourselves.
Now I'm going to have a cupcake.
