Presidential Candidates Lack Class

Now they’re throwing out the “f bomb” at each other. Don’t they realize how classless that is? Also, jeans are not appropriate for presidential candidates regardless of where they are on the campaign trail.

Beware of Bicyclists

I have a friend whose primary mode of transportation is his bicycle. I am aghast at how many times he tells me that he almost got creamed by a car making a right hand turn when he was going straight! The last culprit was a cop! Watch out for bicyclists. They have a right to…

Sick and Tired of Drama

I have taken a stand with everyone in my family, especially the 5 teen-aged girls. No more drama. If they call and start talking “drama,” I hang up. If they come to my house and begin talking about drama, I tell them to shut up or take it elsewhere. I have had enough “drama” to…

City of Taneytown Charging Late Fees for Undrinkable Water

My daughter with the nine kids had a water/sewer bill in January that covered three months. The total was $620. She paid $240 before the end of January and asked to pay the remainder, without late fees over the next two months. She stated that would be 90 days – same as cash. The City…

Why Is Two Broke Girls in the 8 p.m. Time Slot?

Most children are still up at 8 p.m. Why does CBS air “Two Broke Girls” in that 8 p.m. time slot when the “R-rated” material in the show would reach the eyes and ears of our innocent youngsters?

Small Print on TV Ads

The average person can read ten words of copy on a billboard with the car travelling at about 60 mph. How many words of fine print can the average person read on those TV ads where the fine print is ultra important – one just doesn’t get time to read it! This is particularly the…

The End of Winter

Soon comes the end of winter – a happy thing for those of us in the Mid-Atlantic area, where we were hit by 29” of snow at BWI Airport, and some 36” to those lucky ones of us who were in the mountainous areas. One tends to forget how miserable we are when a snow…

Some Black Actors Boycotting the Oscars

African American actors are not being nominated to win Oscars. Hummm. It appears that they think if they boycott the Academy Awards, they’ll be nominated. They need to work hard to get there, just like all the other actors.

Homeless Shelter or City Museum

A question was asked of my city’s Town Council. “We have a house that the City owns. Should we make it a homeless shelter or a City Museum? The vote went to the museum. I have driven by that museum on many occasions and have never seen anyone entering it or leaving it. Let’s face…

Indict Hillary!

I have heard that the FBI, NSA, and other alphabet soup letter agencies have enough charges and proof that Hillary Clinton has committed crimes against the country (mail fraud for one) and could be indicted and tried. What are they waiting for?

Annoying Waitress

My granddaughter and I visited our favorite local restaurant recently, and found that they had hired a new waitress. She waited on us. If she called me “sweetheart” or “honey” one more time, I was going to throw my salad on the floor. At least she didn’t call us “guys.” Another pet peeve of mine….

Car Dealer Gives New Coat to Homeless Man

The owner of Crouse Ford gave a homeless man in our city a brand new winter jacket (with the Crouse Ford logo on it) just days before the snowfall of three feet. I saw him wearing it, and I saw that he also had several layers of “other” coats on beneath it. Many people in…
