I just wanted to write in to complain that you don’t have as many complaints as the Hot Line. If I get a vote, I’d like more complaints. They are funny.

Yes! Terrorist beheader, al-Zarqawi, has been terminated. He died in a U.S. air strike on 6/7/2006. As one who values human life, it isn’t as hard as I thought to be glad about the death of another person. But this one had to go. There is a little less evil in the world thanks to our brave U.S. soldiers.

Wow, I didn’t know there were live web cameras in Fenton, Michigan of all places. I’ve seen the funny looking white posts on top of the State Bank before, but I didn’t know they were webcams. Funny how one is pointed toward half of the State Bank’s parking lot and the entire front side of the Republic Bank’s parking lot. Are they checking out the traffic going into the competition? It is interesting to see the traffic patterns, and a little creepy too. I don’t mind watching but I don’t think I like being watched. Stay tuned.

Now I have heard it all. Our leaders actually think people who are in our country illegally should be entitled to receive retirement benefits based on what they supposedly paid into the Social Security system? Young people who are here legally, working hard, and kicking in a bunch of cash into this so called Social Security system will hardly see a dime and illegal people will be allowed to drain the well dry even quicker making it so that I never see a dime of my money back? And these leaders thing this makes any sense whatsoever?! Keep your promises to legal people and citizens of the U.S. before you start handing money out to criminals. That’s right, criminals. They may be nice people, but let’s face it, they are criminals. And you so called leaders want to give my money to criminals because you think it is only fair.

That’s what I get for being polite. So I’m holding the door open for an elderly lady at the Post Office, just like my parents taught me. That part was fine. But then a ton of people kept coming in right behind her. By the time I finally got to actually go in to the Post Office, the line was nearly to the door. Empty when I got there but full when I finally got to go in. Chivalry cost me an extra 20 minutes in line. I guess that isn’t that long in the whole grand scheme of things. But please. I’m trying to be nice to an old lady, but a bunch of young people took advantage. Think I’ll just block everyone else after the old lady goes in. I’m only looking to do one good deed a day, not ten in a row.

What is up with all of these grubs? Does anything kill them? I heard that you are just wasting your money if you try to treat for them in the spring. Something like, treat in fall if at all. Anyone know what I should do to repair all this grub damage? HELP!!!

Is it just me or does everyone bottom out when pulling into or out of the Burger King on North Leroy Street? I love the $1 Whopper Juniors, but I spend more than that touching up the paint on my front bumper. I used to think it was just that I was so fat, but I stepped down from the Whopper with cheese to the Whopper Junior and I’m still bottoming out. No way am I the only one.

Why do the kids at the fast food drive-throughs ask what kind of sauces you would like with your order when they don’t put any into your bag anyway? That’s so frustrating! Especially when going through the drive-through because you don’t find out about stuff missing until you get home or way down the express way.

While searching the internet for something funny to share with my mom on Mother’s Day, I ran across this. It is supposedly an excerpt from a 1950′s Home Economics Book distributed to all the High School girls. We’ve come a long way, baby. Happy Mother’s Day, mom!!!
=================================================
1. HAVE DINNER READY: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him, and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.
2. PREPARE YOURSELF: Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.
3. CLEAR AWAY CLUTTER: Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up schoolbooks, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too.
4. PREPARE THE CHILDREN: Take a few minutes to wash the children’s hands and faces if they are small, comb their hair, and if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing their part.
5. MINIMIZE THE NOISE: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of washer, dryer, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Greet him with a warm smile and kiss, letting him know you’re glad to see him.
6. Some DON’TS: Don’t ever greet him with problems or complaints. Don’t complain if he’s late for dinner. Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day.
7. MAKE HIM COMFORTABLE: Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he lay down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.
8. LISTEN TO HIM: You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.
9. MAKE THE EVENING HIS: Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment; instead try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his need to be home and relax.
10. THE GOAL: Try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can relax.

I know I don’t say this enough, but I love you mom. Happy Mother’s Day. You have done so much for me, I hope that someday I can repay you. When all else fails, I know I can count on you, mom.

Hello. I saw one of your brochures and thought I’d check out this web page. Is this affiliated with the Tri-County Times or something? This is a cool idea, I was just curious is all. Looks like people are starting to hear about this. Keep up the good work.
[editorial note: Thanks! Come back often. Send in any comment you like for publishing right here at fentonsays.com. To answer your question, NO we are not affiliated with the Tri-County Times. We were inspired by their Hot Line, but we are in no way affiliated with the Tri-County Times. Just like if we were to say that we were inspired by Abraham Lincoln, we are not affiliated with Abraham Lincoln. Thanks for asking, though!]
