Hire a

negotiator

After reading about the Eight Points debacle and now the New Wave cluster, maybe the Poplar Bluff City Council consider hiring some one to negotiate their contracts. Who in the world would agree to guarantee a company 12000 customers with a population of 18000. If the council reads your paper they should know that by virtue poor internet and Cable service as well as poor customer service they probably lost about a third or more of the customers the had when they sold the cable company to them. If the council has any more money to give away, I could use a few extra dollars. I realize with your agenda you will not be able to print this but at least I had my say. Thank you.

Confusing price

Wow..... Is the public library really selling used Apple equipment for more than brand new from Apple? They really must be confused!

Pay it forward

To the person in the black mustang...

Little did you know that I was stopping to get my sick child something to eat, we had to leave church early because she was so nauseous. Thank you for paying for her food. Thank you for showing her that in a world where every time you turn on the news there is terror and mayhem...there is still good.

Little do you know, that you have helped me as a parent show her that there are still kind and compassionate people in this world, and that we in return show kindness to others. To the white truck behind me...I hope you paid it forward as I passed it on to you!

Where's carols?

Yes, I'm calling about a local radio station that's not playin' Christmas music--River Radio. It's just about 10 days before Christmas which it will take forever for this to get in the paper I understand that, but they're not playin' any Christmas music. I requested a Christmas song and I was told No, they weren't playin' Christmas music as this time. Well, at this time, it's Christmas. You know, I don't get that! It's Christmas. This is a America. Use to on Dec. 1st you heard Christmas music a lot. If you didn't like it, you could change the station. Now you don't hear Christmas music and I'm talkin' about River Radio.

You know I would suggest if you don't hear Christmas music on River Radio when you go by toot your horn. If everybody did that and that's not sayin' hello when you toot your horn, it's sayin' you know we'd like to hear some Christmas music.

Why? I have no idea, but you're not hearin' Christmas in America. Used to be the greatest country in the world, but apparently for some reason now at this time we're not playin' Christmas music. Hopefully this will get in the paper in a couple of days and not a couple of weeks. Thank you.

Sad VA party

Hey we went to the Union Christmas VA party Saturday night and was it a big disappointment! The steaks sucked. And you know pay $500 a year and you get a steak that's not even half an inch thick and they were all cooked the same way. You didn't get to choose --it sucked!

We, along with many other union members, felt that this was just a gross mismanagement of funds and it's our funds. So, hopefully, it will get better next year or we're thinking about getting out of it, so anyway I hope you print this because like I said it was us along with all the tables around us was highly, highly disappointed and music --it was sad. Anyway, thank you.
