Sock it to the Airlines
I have to voice a complaint, after listening to the news this morning. First, the airline companies raised the rates and stated it was because of the price of gas. Then they started charging for baggage. Certain airlines now charge for your seat, after you’ve booked your flight. And to top it off, now the…Read more »
Have a Little Compassion
I heard a waitress yelling at a person while I was waiting for my meal to arrive. She told the man, “Sir, you can’t come in here.” She forced him outside. She came to my table and apologized for the man stinking up the restaurant. I paid for my meal and on my way out,…Read more »

Shame on Goodwill
When did thrift store employees become too arrogant to take second hand items? Wasn’t Goodwill intended for the people with low incomes to be able to purchase furniture at a price that they could afford? Why are thrift stores such as Goodwill and others snubbing their noses at perfectly good items because there might be…Read more »
The Panic Years
Our economy has suffered over the last few years, but our elders that lived through the depression of 1929 can attest that they have seen worse. After reading through some old history books I found in some antique stores, I can honestly say that 1873 seemed far worse than the depression era of 1929. Why is it…Read more »
