I was at a store at Jackson recently, and there was a lady, a Virginia Sides, who was very helpful. She helped me check out my groceries and bagged them for me and then helped me get everything in to my car. I really appreciate her help because I am with a walker and can't do this all by myself. So I really appreciate her help and I hope she reads this and that she knows how much I appreciated it.
I was just reading in the paper where they are going to be doing work on the roundabout at Silver Springs and Gordonville roads and I was thinking how absurd the whole situation is with that roundabout and wondering how much four stop signs would have cost.
I live in East Cape Girardeau, Ill. We used to have one liquor license, now we have four. Basically we have a liquor license for every 100 people who live in East Cape. There is something very wrong with the board for allowing this to happen.
To any politician who might read this, I believe there should be a law passed that all merchandise should be sold to mom and pop stores for the same price as those big merchants. It would get more businesses going.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is wasting so much taxpayer money. If they had spent just a little bit of money helping repair the river wall in Cairo, Ill., they would not have needed to blow up the levee at Birds Point. They've already spent about $20 million repairing the levee at Birds Point and haven't got anything done. Now they want to spend another $20 million and it still isn't done. It is more than a year later. They have been tearing up roads, they have been tearing up bridges, they are tearing up everything and spending more taxpayer money. It is time to tell the Corps of Engineers to stop tearing things up.
A huge thank you to the Cape Girardeau Fire Department for their immediate response to the greenhouse fire at the Cape Girardeau Career and Technology Center. Their efforts saved our building from devastation. And also a huge thank you to professor Denise Pingle from Southeast Missouri State University and her students for salvaging plants from our greenhouse and returning them to the greenhouse at SEMO. Their gracious efforts will assure that our school will be ready for our students and our landscape horticulture program in the fall.
Returned wallet
I want to thank the person for turning in the tattered red wallet at the Country Mart in Jackson on May 24. God bless.
I would like to make a comment on you women that sun tan. I don't know why you want to put yourself through that. I know women that started sun tanning in their 20s and now their in their 50s and they look like they are going on 85 to 90. I won't date a woman that sun tans because when I turn 50 and she turns 50, I'd rather have a woman that looks like she is 50 instead of one that is going on 85 or 90.
Comments
Roundabout: IMO roundabouts increases the flow of traffic.
East Cape liquor: Also, add in the citizens from Cape coming over to visit the clubs.
Government pricing? Smells like Socialism.
Levee waste: Some people are better at tearing things up vs. building.
Firefighter thanks: Firefighters do this every day. Take some cookies or something else by the fire station to show that you appreciate their hard work.
Won't date a tanner: As in everything else, moderation is the key.
A goal without a plan is just a wish.
Morning "Rick", looks like we are both up and at it while "Wheels" is still getting his beauty sleep.
Wheels is up semo471 he heard the roosters crow this morning.
Suppliers have the same price for stores already. They do not give different prices for the size of the store. All the mom & pop store needs to do, to get the same quanity discount, is to order the same amount as a Big Store. Wal-Mart gets a big discount for buying 10,000 cases of soda, so for the small store to get the same discount, then they must purcase 10,000 cases too.
Semo471,
I'm up and already had a cup of coffee.
Swamp,
Those cockle, doddle, doos early in the morning make me think... "Shut up, or it's going to be chicken and dumplings for dinner."
Rick,
Think Clark Gable...... I didn't say I looked like him, just think it.
Gentlemen, Wheels was working on a problem someone else created, and saw 2:05 am on the old clock on the dresser when he laid his head on the pillow last night, or early this morning. :-)
Wheels, guess someone else thought you were startin' trouble last night too! ☺ ☻ ☺ ☻
Good morning Turnips,
You up already?
Unfortunately, yes.....the downfall to having some peace and quiet....sleep deprivation. ☺
I don't know who stays in the dog house the most on these blogs myself, Wheels, Regret or Rick. Wheels I asked a simple question to Howdy "What happen in Wisconsin" and no response, I would like to hear his explanation what went wrong.
this is to the all the voters, i just want to know who to vote for the republicans when they have all stood up there on stage and said how dumb and crooked romney is and now we are told he is the best. well good luck for us
Swamp,
Liberals don't reply to hard questions, they defend and then deflect.
Rick,
You don't think Turnips is reporting us????? ;-)
Wheels: I found that out.
Bring it on.....
Turnips didn't get enough sleep last night Rick, better be careful she may be meaner than a junk yard dog today. ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺
Rain, Wheels, rain....bring on the rain! Keep tryin'...eventually you may ruffle my feathers! ☺
Turnips,
I don't mess with people who plant thistle in their yards to keep the neighbors kids out. ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺
Has the increase in liquor licenses from 1 to 4 forced you to start drinking or to drink more? I think not. If not for those liquor license, what else would bring people (and revenue) to East Cape?
Mother Nature showed yesterday that she is still the boss. Farmers got their million dollar rain and those of us who have plants and flowers can skip a few days of watering.
Glancing through the SO's today..."and I feeeeel - like I been - heah befooorrrre!"
"(Att stopped including support in their normal fee structure, for their email programs like outlook, about two years ago.)"
I think with a little research you wil find that 'Outlook' is not a service provided by AT&T but by Microsoft. But don't take my word for it.
ATT has to make up for the loss in long distance charges somehow. Charging for tiered customer service is now common. Service included in the monthly bill is becoming a thing of the past.
'tis why we still use smoke-signals..the "Cloud" for free☺-- Posted by .Rick ʘ on Tue, Jun 12, 2012, at 10:54 AM
Rick: We might go back and use the smoke signals and other means of communication after Sun storms and other problems that might take us back into being a 3rd world country.
"Is the Peanut gallery an Att DSL customer?"
If that is referring to me... the answer is yes and for at least 12 years, maybe more. And I am having no problem whatsoever. A week or so ago the wife's e-mail and the son-in-law's were hacked a day apart by some Spammer with a get rich quick scheme. I changed the password on both accounts and problem solved. No contact made with those evil folks over at ATT.

Hmmmmm! Could have fooled me.

Gave up on Outlook eons ago.
There is a limitation to the size of your Inbox in Outlook 2GB if I remember correctly, and if one is in the habit of saving junk (like I sometimes did) until you can deal with it, the Inbox fills up and you are in trouble.
Fool with it enough and you can kiss some if not all files in the Inbox goodbye.
PS: There is a way to get by the full Inbox.
Me'Lange,
I also used Outlook for manageing tasks. Switched to a Smartphone and started using in conjunction with using Dropbox for a backup to anything important. I have some 90+ GB of data relating to mostly Genealogy & Photos saved and do not want to loose any of. Smartphone gives me access to those documents any time any place there is a signal.
Outlook is clunky.
"I do not like the concept of being connected 24/7."
My phone has an on/off switch on it. I like the idea of being connected when I want to be connected. I like the idea of not having to carry a note pad, or a list of e-mail accounts and phone numbers. My To Do and appointments are at my fingertips. An Excel, Word or Pdf file is at available when you need it. Those are a few of the many things it can be used for, as well as a reasonably decent camera with zoom on it.
Once you are used to it you would give up your daily ration of Rum before the Smartphone.
I like rum drinks but don't do them very often. Was more referring to the ration I remember they used to get for rowing those big Viking ships. But that may have been a joke.
Don't like talking on the phone so you won't find me talking very much and I only text to my Grandkids, there is no other way to communicate, they have lost their vocal cords I fear. Past that I despise texting.
I have to stay in contact, when the kids need some help on a few things in the business. The rest is for my hobby of genealogy and whatever else I get into. The business pays for the phone service and I pay the upgrade on the Smartphone and the Internet Connection. Not too out of line that way.
