| — Uniforms

“I was wondering why some city utility workers are not required to wear uniforms. i've noticed that several employees do not wear the required attire an i know for a fact that the employees who have uniforms have to pay for those uniforms and i think if a few get away with it u should give back the money to those who pay.

Don't worry

“Dwain, don’t worry about the naysayers. I, too, played cowboys and Indians and for the first time you caused me to give it more thought. I particularly liked the pow wow with Randolph Scott and your defense of the peanut field. Thanks for taking something I can relate to and making a point. It beats the heck out of the political dribble we are bombarded with.

I tried it

“I tried your way. I called 20 people today to reschedule appointments. I got 5. Four of them were upset.

I left messages for the others ... no one called me back. But if I don't get in touch with the other people, they will be mad also.

If this is a reason for you to change doctor, I feel sorry for the doctor that will have you.

Ice cream

“The school in Doerun sells ice cream everyday, at 75 cents per day. How fair is that to students who cannot afford this every day.

At 75 cents it can be a hardship on a lot of parents. Why can they not sell it just one day a week instead of every day?

I certainly don't mind it once a week.

Isn't this contributing to all this child obesity we hear about?

Emulate parents

“I’m thinking that much of our child obesity problem is because they emulate their parents in so many ways.

Child obesity

“Child obesity is certainly a problem. I applaud any effort to stem this issue.

Indeed, such obesity manifests itself it a lot of other health issues, many of which will be addressed by taxpayers.

Football

“I want to rave about the community leaders who provided the new football field and the school administrators who got rid of superfluous teachers and extra curricular people so we can have all the coaches we need.

Without this leadership what would our record be?

Interesting

“It’s interesting how people try to understand the most radical and violent aspects of Islam, yet choose to ignore the same principles of Christianity...

Life is a matter of perspectives; think about it
My friend, a city boy, was yelling for help. We were fishing on a river, and he had ventured over to another spot.
“Someone help! I’m cornered!” he yelled.

We better wake up
Dear editor:
Have our GOP representatives gone to sleep or are they refusing to act for the people they are supposed to represent? The Obama administration has contracted a Spanish company called SCYTAL, to tabulate the 2012 November presidential election.

May God bless my Uncle Henry
My uncle once noted on his return from a fishing trip that he caught so many fish he couldn’t put them all in one pile.
That’s how I feel trying to keep up with all the causes and organizations that either require support groups or else they comprise support groups.

A kind humanity
Dear editor:
Humanity. One word. That word can translate into many other words. Some would say humanity is dark, greedy and bent on world domination. Others may say humanity is sweet, kind and caring. I myself witnessed a small part of a loving, caring humanity the other day.

Why it's a bad tax
Dear editor:
In regards to the Transportation TSplost Tax: The statement, “Economic development suffers if we don’t pass this tax” is not a valid statement, because Georgia has always been behind the 8 ball in regards to transportation, but yet look at the growth we have experienced; being behind in transportation didn't hinder economic growth. Georgia now ranks 11th in the country as of 2010 and this occurred mostly since 1995. The economic vitality of Georgia is alive and well considering the slump the country is in.
