Speakout 9/13

Thursday, September 13, 2007

Mike's editorial on NBC Dateline was very good. On the other hand, I want to go a step further. Now, these chat lines these gentlemen were on, they supposedly were adult chat lines. Were they not? I was just wondering when a smart attorney is going to get a hold of that and free some of the clients. Nonetheless, I wonder how many of these people were thinking that these girls were just kidding about their age because it was an adult chat line. Food for thought.

I would like to leave a message complimenting the manager of KFC here in Sikeston. I had a problem with my food and I called him. He took care of the problem and he was very nice about it. The food was very good. I would like to thank him very much for being so professional. You are a very good manager. This man has really improved their business.

Hats off to good people who give up their time on these holidays. I'm sure there are a lot of people who worked on Labor Day for straight time. I think Governor Blunt ought to pass a law that anybody who works on any holiday should get double time. Regardless if you work in a factory, nursing home, hospital or wherever. Other people were laying in bed and you were getting up going to work making money for the bosses.

I would like to do some house cleaning. I'm an elderly person. If somebody would call me at 472-6322 or 380-8497. I really need some money to make it in this world. I have experience and good personal references.

I have a suggestion for the leaders of New Madrid. I wonder if they would consider having a fall clean up as well as a spring clean up. I realize it was probably costly for them to offer that to the citizens of New Madrid. So many of us are still trying to deal with the switch over to the new trash service and get all of our things out for the spring clean up. I just thought things looked so pretty with the flowers and everything. Just a suggestion, but one I hope the city leaders might decide to do.

Let the practice begin

Yes, I was wondering if you could help me out. I would like to know if there is a certain date that high school basketball teams can start practicing for the year.

According to the Missouri State High School Athletic Association, Oct. 29th is the day practice can begin.
