"the stuff they have on the Op/Ed page is almost always stuff that I've read on FR 2-3 days prior!!"

Ain't it the truth. DH and I are always complaining at the breakfast table that there is nothing to read in the paper (RTD)--- and does the cartoonist suck or what?!

Why we still subscribe:

5. Need a reason to walk to the paperbox in an ugly raincoat and my husbands giant jammies. (why, neighbors would have no reason to live.)
4. Whacky local columnists
3. Need to know who got a deer through the windshield
2. Tag sale notices
1. You never know when a letter from Roy West will appear (THATS entertainment!!!)

Brookins will sneak in a good one here and there...and it'll usually show up on FR, if it is any good.

"Why we still subscribe:

Usually I walk out and get the paper fer my mornin' constitutional before it gets light...LOL!!

"4. Whacky local columnists..."

I will miss the blithering IDIOTS who write Letters to the Editor, and there IS some good local talent, too.

"3. Need to know who got a deer through the windshield."

That's why my wife's PO'd at me fer not talking to her before cancelling the subscription...she likes to read the Obits and the Marriage Notices and Ann Landers and Dear Abby...LOL!!

"2. Tag sale notices"

Not applicable...

"1. You never know when a letter from Roy West will appear (THATS entertainment!!!)"

Please, my FRiend, please bump me up whenever Good Ol' Roy rips off one of his classics...I'll anonymously buy an RTD at the machine downstairs.

FReegards...MUD
