Joam Occupies Craigslist.
Dear Readers,
I came across this little "gem" of a craigslist post today.
Full Time Nanny needed (Rosedale, ny)
Date: 2011-11-02, 6:22PM EDT
Reply to: gigs-xxxxxxxxxxxx
We need a nanny to care for our 7 month and 2 year old children. Must be mature , trustworthy and possible weekends. Bilingual a plus but english a must.
250 per week . Call XXX-XX-XXXX
Of course I had to contact them. Here is my response to this ad.
------------------------------
Dear Family in Search for a Nanny,
250 dollars divided by 5 days is 50 dollars a day divided by 8 hours = $6 hourly for professional childcare. I am guessing that your children are the most important thing to you and somebody applying to watch them for 6 dollars an hour will either be 1. a child 2. somebody on a "list" 3. not all that educated.
I know times are tough, but invest in the safety and well being of your children. 250 dollars a week will not employ a Mary Poppins. My fiance made that in 6th grade watching her class' guinea pig.
Respectfully,
Joam J.

BKLYN COURIER NEWSPAPER
Dear Editor,
A few weeks ago, I was sipping on my ice latte and strolling down Smith Street with my dog, when I saw the Brooklyn Courier. I picked up a copy and was astonished to find that a woman on the front page, was a facebook, twitter AND google + friend of mine. She was identified as a resident of Brooklyn, when I know for a fact that she resides in mid-town Manhattan and was in our borough to celebrate a certain French holiday. Guess where she went AFTER she had her fun and games in Brooklyn? Manhattan!
Brooklyn is not JUST a borough of New York City, but it is also an identity, a way of life, a lifestyle choice and an ethnicity. I wouldn't identify myself as an African American or a Asian American if I was not from America and I expect the same for those who reside here. I know this comes off as a bit elitist, but for some time now I have been a champion of Brooklyn authenticity. This is at times tedious work, but as this boro is the greatest borough in the universe, my time simply pales in comparison.
I would very much appreciate a blurb in next week that corrects this reporter/photographer's error.
Salutations,
Joam J.

Sunscreen Shade Company
Hi,
I am searching for a quality sunscreen and a friend of mine recommended your company. I am looking for a screen that will not only keep me a bit shady and bug free but also will serve as a fire screen. Last year while sitting outside in our backyard, my 85 year old grandmother went up in flames...literally. Apparently the fireline we cleared around the house was inadequate. Such a screen will provide with us both peace of mind of the end of freak family tragedies. I have taken measurements and i need the screen to be 45 feet long by 65 feet tall. Is this a possibility?

Public Radio--California
Dear Public Radio Affiliate,
I am tired of waking up and hearing "pledge now, pledge this, pledge or we won't exist". How about eliminating the pledge drive altogether? I realize that as a "public" station, that you rely on the public's generous donations, so therefore I offer an idea.
How about a "Tap-a-Thon"? I was the MC (master of ceremonies) of such an event 10 years ago when I lived in Louisiana (pre-K). You get cute "pageant type" children to go door to door asking for station donations in exchange for a tap dance. The kids don't have to have prior tap experience and of course a radio personality would accompany them to ensure their safety and sign the occasional autograph (for an extra dollar or 2 :) ). This would;
1. get people involved (community outreach)
2. get people to donate without ruining their mornings
3. get kids active
4. raise possibly millions of dollars
5. allow an elderly person to have a visitor
6. brighten somebody's day
7. empower the "little people"
8. save airwave time for more important things.
9. People are more likely to donate to children
10. some people don't own phones or computers...but do live houses.
11. get the homeless involved. tap dancing and sidewalks go together
12. spark creativity!
13. be a leader in the field of public radio pledge drives
Please let me know, if you would like me to come and speak to your staff further about this!
Best,
Joam J.

SHERMAN WILLIAMS
Dear Mr. Williams,
I am utterly disgusted with your choice of logo. In case you are unaware, let me remind you that it depicts a tipped over paint can dumping what can only be described as ox blood red over our world and the words "cover the earth" below. I find this logo disturbing on a variety of levels. Who is responsible for this? I painted my entire house in your "harmony" line as i was lead to believe that you were a company of environmental integrity. I am an active member of Greenpeace, sierra club, PETA, Stella of Omaha organization for natural awareness, just to name a few. IN my town,my fellow city occupants have banned your products as your message is crystal clear; you do not give an iota of thought to the health of the world around us. Unless this includes slapping a label marked "green" or "eco friendly" on a paint can aka TOXIC poisoning. Your charade is up. I will starting a nation wide campaign unless you change your logo OR pull your eco line.
Regards,
Joam J. Jeremy.

Hi Joam,
Thank you for contacting the Sherwin-Williams website.
And thank you for your e-mail regarding our "Cover the Earth" logo and its
potential for conveying an environmentally insensitive image. We hope that by providing some background on the development of the logo and on our current commitment to environmentally friendly initiatives you will see that we are committed to environmental responsibility.
The design first appeared in 1893 when we wanted to illustrate how
Sherwin-Williams quality paint could become large enough to make an impact on the entire world. The design has been utilized from that time on. It 1895 it was officially adopted as the Sherwin-Williams trademark. In 1906, the design and its wording were registered with the United Sates Patent Office. In the 1930's it was honored as being one of the ten most recognized trademarks in the world and it continues to have high worldwide recognition today. 140 years later, Sherwin-Williams continues to strive to provide beautiful and durable coatings that help people around the world maintain their buildings with our products.
Understanding your concern for the environment, I'd like to inform you of some of the initiatives our company is involved with in this area. For some time now we have been devoting significant resources to develop environmentally friendly coatings which exhibit excellent product attributes while reducing the potential for air emissions.
Our Harmony, Duration Home, and ProGreen products all carry the GreenSure logo.
Since the 1970's we have increased our activity to reduce all solid and
liquid emissions from our plants and facilities. We utilize a distribution network to maximize our efficiency in transporting goods to our stores. We also conduct extensive environmental audits to identify any potential issues when we acquire other companies. We have an environmental services department that actively identifies and corrects any environmental problems the company may find.
We believe our proactive actions and our track record will indicate that we are concerned about the environment and that we responsibly back this concern with our assets and our people. We appreciate your concern and thank you for taking the time to review our history and current practices.
Thanks again for writing to us.
Regards,
Eric
