Sounds like the old-time car sales pitch in which they have this one vehicle at a ridiculously low price, you go there, and this car has already been “sold,” but “we have all these others on the lot …” Well, I got an advertisement in the mail that says, “Bundle your TV+internet+voice for only $29.95 […]

Red light means stop
The great thing about living in a small town versus a big city is that people know and respect each other in a small town. At least that is the way it used to be back in the 1940s and ’50s. In today’s world, it seems to be “me-me-me, so get out of my way.” […]

Give them a baby pacifier
The Democratic Party has been taken over by vicious left-wingers. It is no longer the party for the working people as it was generations ago. The Democratic Party is so radically left wing that it has the once dynamic middle class in America reeling. Fewer people are in the work force and that translates into […]

Nation used to celebrate democracy
I offer my appreciation to all the restaurants in the area that gave veterans a free meal. Veterans, such as myself, do not take the kindness that people show them for granted. We served our country when called upon. The nation didn’t care whether those serving were Republican or Democrat, or the color of their […]

What has the world come to?
Eleven dollars — that is all a 70-year-old woman has in her bank account until her Social Security check comes in. Can’t buy much with that. Then she gets a phone call, supposedly from the IRS, stating she owes $5,000 and the money is due now or her driver’s license will be taken away within […]

A heartfelt thank-you
My best friends and I were enjoying a wonderful meal at a local restaurant. We are Vietnam veterans (our hats indicate that). A woman and her family stopped by our table and thanked us for our service to the country which, in itself, was wonderful. She commented that they came from a military family themselves. […]

Pellett retailers take notice
I have been burning wood pellets for five years. This year, I didn’t buy any because of the high price of pellets ($299 a ton) and the low price of oil. Years ago, pellets were $2.30 a bag but now they are $6 a bag. If that isn’t a sign of greed, I don’t know […]

New Englanders know how to adjust
Five years ago, I installed a wood pellet stove as an alternative to my oil furnace because of the high price of oil. At that time, heating oil was more than $3 per gallon and a 40-pound bag of wood pellets was $2.30. Today, oil is somewhere around $1.75 per gallon and a 40-pound bag […]

P. Webber: A simple survival strategy
A simple survival device could change how people look at their food supply — and their health — forever. What is it? It is an easy way to stop genetically engineered or modified organisms and pesticides from destroying people’s health. GMOs touch nearly every ounce of food we eat. We can’t even depend on the […]

P. Webber: Bring back ‘victory gardens’
Have people noticed the prices of vegetables at the grocery store lately? Is it time to bring back the victory gardens of yesteryear? Four years ago, I turned half of my lawn and made a garden out of it. I grow enough vegetables to last all winter — a big savings for my family. During […]
