Why wait?

I'd like to say something about the man that was accused of sex crimes against a child. They said that girl was 8 or 9 years old when he supposedly did that. Now she's 16. It said the only time he ever did it is when her mother and that man had been out drinking. When they come home, he would go in there and touch her inappropriately. Well why in the devil was mom out drinking with somebody when the child was only 8 or 9 years old? They should get the mother too for leaving the child by herself and getting out and getting drunk, coming home and going to sleep. That's crazy. Why wait 8 or 9 years to report it? Why didn't mama report it? She knew what was going on. She shouldn't have been drinking and partying.

A quicker picker upper

We took our carpets up and had hardwood floors put down. My mom, on her hardwood floors, used a mop and it was like an oil mop. It was about 2-foot wide and had little things on each end. In the middle, she sprayed oil treatment or Murphy's oil. She was able to quickly mop the whole house. I desperately need some of that because I have a back condition. Could someone please tell me where I could buy one at?

Backatcha city

We got a violation because we had lawnmowers in the backyard. The city is not doing their job in the alleys. They are not trimming trees or anything. They are not doing any trash. Can you please put this in the paper?

No time left to protest

I just heard on the radio where the majority of the people are nonchalant and not paying attention to what's going on in our country. Maybe it's because the majority of the people are out working everyday and do not have a time to run up and down the streets and protest and worry about the colors of the flags. It's a possibility that we don't have time to go protest everything that happens.

Oops, they did it again

I am a 60-something year old white female who loves her football. Once again I am looking at the sports page on the full contact picture. Last year the picture I saw with Cape Central, they were pulling down the face masks. Right here, front page, Kennett, pulling down face mask of Sikeston player. Just amazes me.

Your day will come

Nothing is more beautiful than watching our flag with the stars and stripes waving in the wind. I am grateful to all the women and men that have sacrificed their lives for our country. Our Supreme Court is another matter. No prayer in school. We can kill unborn children. And now gay marriages are approved? You may not believe in God, but one day you will and you will have to stand, excuse me, you will bow before him and give an account of what you have done.
