It’s easy to get tangled up in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, but this time of year is also great for families to create memories with each other — simply by spending time together, enjoying the Christmas season. Locally, there are limitless opportunities, and they range in price range, but many events are free.

I don’t understand some people can be half dead, can’t do nothing, until a car comes by doing something and then they get in that car and when they get home they’re griping again. If you feel really bad and stuff, you need to stay home. Some people just amaze me. All righty. Thank you .

Yes, I would like to speak out about the nutrition center in Sikeston. There is some people there that feel privileged to be there. They get large helpings of food and the rest get small portions. Also in bingo these same people get a gift before they check the numbers and they have called another number before they bingo. That is not a good bingo but they get the gift anyway. That’s not right....

If the ordinary working class of people in the United States could and would read, capital letters, our country would be a different place. Instead, our middling, poorer classes are kept as ignorant slaves by a public school system run by the top notch mediocrities of all-time. The mediocre graduates of schools of education, specializing in mediocrity and conformity that encourages anything of...

Yes, I know I keep calling every time I go to St. Louis but when I come back home here in Sikeston I’m so pee’d off when I see gas prices. Up there in St. Louis they’ve got clean act. The fuel is cleaner. Two dollars and one cent. Down here, $2.29 and some places more. It’s a shame, it’s a rip off and that’s all it’s about. Our fuel is dirtier and we pay more for it. But that’s what Speakout is...

Yes, this if for anybody who believes in Sodom and Gomorrah. Now look at California. It looks like God is trying to destroy California. Which they should, there has been a lot of sin going on out there. But before He does destroy California, someone, you know a preacher, needs to call and tell God to hold up until Nancy Pelosi gets out there. That way he can destroy her along with California....

Anyone that knows me knows I hate going to the doctor. Even if feeling possible death on the horizon I will often just tough it out and hope it goes away. But as I age I feel I need to take a little better care of myself. So feeling some ear pain a couple months ago I decided it would be smart to visit a local healthcare facility. I was quickly diagnosed with an ear infection and sent on my way...

Yes, I’m calling in about KFVS-12. Does anybody know why their over-the-air signal is so weak? It’s like in the 20s. WPSD Channel 6 is in the 90s. I just wondered if someone knew why Channel 12’s signal is so weak?

This speakout goes against everybody who drives a car and texts on the phone. Every day it seems when I watch the news or open up the newspaper it seems like there is a driver who is running off the left or right side of the road and getting killed and getting hurt and the police report always reads “person runs off the road.” Now c’mon. We all know why people are running off the road and getting...

I live over here on Cambridge. It’s always been a nice street, nothing going on. But someone stole a big wall mirror off of my property, from my front porch. And I hope that you look in it and see how proud you need to be of yourself because someday you will pay for it.

On Thursday, Mission Missouri officially launched The Esther House, a 16-bed recovery housing wing for women, filling a much-needed void in the area. For 16 years, Mission Missouri provided recovery housing for men while there were no recovery housing services for women in Sikeston or the immediate area, with the closest being Recycling Grace in Poplar Bluff. And of course since there is a need...

Yeah, I guess Charleston’s got a lot of money to waste. There is a police car that’s been sitting over at the high school football game that I know has been sitting there since 10:30 and still the car is running. I guess they have money to waste. They need to check into that. Thank you.

The betrayal of our brothers in arms occurring in Syria is a disgraceful decision by President Trump. Turkish president Erdogan will butcher the Kurds and the question that must be asked is who will stand with us in future conflicts after this situation has been allowed to occur? Shame, shame, shame.

Remember all you working parents and women who expect someone else to take care of your children that I as a child care worker only care as much about your children as you care about mine.

Every time I check and look at Monday’s weather I get something different. Rain. No snow. No rain and then snow. No just rain. No just snow. And on and on it goes. I am amazed sometimes at how technology has advanced. We can put a man on the moon. We can type a message on our phone and instantly send it to someone clear across the world. We can take out someone’s organ and replace it with another...

Yes, my phone number is 931-4609 and I am in need of a roller walker. One of the walkers with rollers on it that rolls. Either that and a wheelchair. I need this very much. I can’t hardly walk at all now. So please if anybody can donate to this to me. Thank you very much.

This is concerning we need to sue the Democratic Party. Now is the time for past democrats to step forward and save the Democratic Party. The following people have almost destroyed the Democratic Party of past good deeds. First we got our ex-president Obama, then we have Hillary, then we have Nancy Pelosi. I recommend the people from the old Democratic Party take Nancy Pelosi back to California,...

Dear Editor: On Tuesday, Nov. 5, Sikeston voters have a referendum decision. The City of Sikeston is asking voters to approve a use tax which will allow Sikeston to collect tax on internet sales that are currently not subject to taxation. This does not change the rate of our current 3% city sales tax. In fact, if a current sales tax were to sunset, this rate would decrease...

In one of the best kept secrets in some time, there will be an election on Tuesday. While voters won’t be electing a president or a state official or even be voting on local city positions there are issues on the ballot for Sikeston and Miner. In Sikeston, voters are being asked whether to allow a use tax on goods bought on the internet. ...

I don’t know why in the world people think they have to drink beer and whiskey everywhere they go. I think getting it legalized at college football games is stupid. Don’t matter if there’s kids in places or not, they’ve got to have their alcohol. It is so stupid. I don’t know why in the world they want to pass stuff like that. It’s crazy.

Yes, I just want to make a comment about the Food Bank and the pantry trucks that goes around to different counties. I would just like to ask them, like I sent them an e-mail and ask them, isn’t Mississippi County over here, we are considered a poor county too. We would like to have a food truck to come by before Thanksgiving and Christmas. There ain’t one thing on the Food Bank for truck. Every...

ABC News is reporting that millions of teenagers in the United States are protesting about climate change. I would venture a guess that 80% don’t know what 9x8 is. Thank you.
