I just want to call and let the Southeast Missourian know that I live in a trailer court and I am very appreciative of what the person who delivers my paper does. I can have a hard time getting down the steps. I just want to let him know that I live at Shadybrook and he puts my paper on the porch every morning and that means a lot to me. I have had the Missourian for years, and I just want to tell him thank you and let him know he is doing a fantastic job.
You can tell by the city's actions that it wants to get rid of us low income renters in Cape. Last year they pushed this new sewer tax on us and there was already one on the books, but that increased my rent by $20 to $25 a month. And now I read that they want to do a rental inspection. Just who do they think is going to pay for this? If my landlord has to hire somebody to unlock a door so an inspector can come in and inspect -- and of course they are going to find something -- that is going to cost money. Who do you think pays for that?

Enjoy the heat today, it's the last day of 100+ for the week ahead.
Re: Thank you - a big +1 for my delivery person also.
Can count on the paper being within the same 5-foot radius on the driveway every day (except Saturday), and there for my reading pleasure and entertainment as I'm putting my act together to drag on out the door at 0400.
If'n it would come any later than that, by the time I would get back around to read, it wouldn't be news, but instead history.
Inspection Concerns,
Well there is at least one person in the crowd that understands the system.
The consumer of goods and services pays all expenses related with the goods or service. That would include taxes, fees and profit.
I heard on a christian radio station that the Girl Scouts of American, support Plan Parenthood, not so much pro life. Could this be true or did I just misunderstand?
Here's your answer, hittandms:

Re Girlscouts and Planned Parenthood. Sounds to me like one of those situations where if they can get them early enough and mold their minds, the Planned Parenthood folks can create the belief that the murder of the unborn is something to be proud of rather than to be abhorred.
When you are at the Gates of Heaven, what will you say to God when he ask you....What did you do to protect my babies?
I have no clue where or who that is .
Try to protect all babies , animals included..

Rick, that is the big guy, and where he lives. Liken it to the Great one who has the power to send you out bear hunting in the afterlife with a pocket full of rocks.
Rick,
I guess I have always thought that Native Americans had a higher "One" (Great Spirit) who dealt with the good and the bad among them in the afterlife. Could have picked that up from a TV show somewhere though... put together by 'European' Americans.
But I am not going too deep there, as I am pretty much ignorant on the subject.
"When you are at the Gates of Heaven, what will you say to God when he ask you....What did you do to protect my babies"?
I would say, God I protected both my babies! Then I would thank him for being "pro choice"...that is to say, he gave us ALL choice along with free will. We are all sinners from the very beginning and if you believe in "GOD" you are aware he created us all in HIS own image!
Well said Greywolf.
"When you are at the Gates of Heaven, what will you say to God when he ask you....What did you do to protect my babies"?
Where in the bible does it say I am going to be asked this question?
If you have a 6 year old and you decide you don't like him/her, should it be legal to murder them also?

3forone: I didn't say it was in the Bible, we should be prepared to answer any question for what was entered into our Book of Life.

I'm counting on it. Been cramming for quite a spell.
I would suspect God knows the answer to any question already; funny how we view God and the "process" of getting into Heaven or H-e-l-l in terms with what we are familiar in the physical world.
Well with over 100 people dying every minute I would suggest that IF there is a heaven (the Bible speaks of three) the line at that gate is very long and some of you may have plenty of time to think about what to say at your judgement. I do know this. If there is a heaven and all that we know from the Bible (especially the book of Genesis) is true, then after speaking with God, I have a few words to say to Adam and Eve! It would probably go like this. " WTF were you two thinking"?....just say'n

Did you look up what the Bible says about calling someone a fool?? What are you cramming for?
Schoolmarm,
I don't believe I called you a fool.... just said I did not tolerate them gladly.
Now you may make of that what you like, and you may wear the moniker if it fits.... that would be up to you.
Rick, When I said "we" I was referring to those who have taken the time to read it. I have absolutely NO problem with anyone who has or has not read it. I respect most religions, beliefs and faiths. I am NOT a religious individual nor will I ever be. Religion does nothing but divide people as I have said here many times.
looks like speak out is being phased out
Can't believe people are not calling into S.O. What is going on in the newspaper editorial dept.?
You can't be old and wise if you were not young and crazy.
me thinks 4-5 trolls have spoiled speak out

Wheels: It's a morning newspaper so the callers could have called in on Saturday. Has it cooled off any up there? Relief should come here tonight with cooler temps and some rain.
Semo471,
It was predicted as late as last night that it would hit 100 again by noon and then the front moves through cooling things down a bit. 108 degrees in places here yesterday. Then some storms came through cooling things down a bit. We got sprinkles and nothing else. Grass that is not watered all burned up. Reminds you of the end of August.
Rick: Chris is what baseball is all about. Seen my first Cardinal game at the old Sportmen's Park on Kingshighway.
Semo471,
What were you smoking when you went to Sportsman's Park.... it was on North Grand when I was there.

Wheels: Never smoked, you are correct as always. We took the streetcar (one of the last in St. Louis) on South Grand to the ball park on North Grand ;-)
Rick: Got to see Stan the Man hit a homer at the Sportsman Park. What times we got to go, we would sit out in the left field bleachers for $1.
Semo471,
Went to Sportsman's Park only once in my life in the summer of 1956. My current girlfriend, her sister, my cousin and myself. It was so blasted hot in that place, and since the girlfriend and I neither one cared that much for baseball we went to the car and listened to the radio, while the other two finished watching the game.

Wheels: Listened to the radio....tell me another one.
Semo471,
Honest, the radio was on.
