Take a look at what friends and neighbors are saying about local hot topics and join in on the conversati­on.

I am on the Do Not Call list and 20-some times a day I get a recorded message from Credit Card Account Services and they have fake numbers. Why don’t the phone companies stop that or what number can I call to have them all stop? Can someone please tell me that?

Eight hotdogs in a package, 12 hotdog rolls in a package. A 12-cup coffee maker, a 10-cup carafe. How many more can you name? I think other people would like to know too. Night Light

To the person that called about having problems with Comcast’s rates, it’s true. It keeps going up and not getting better or changing. I left Comcast last March and went to Direct TV. It was a good bargain. I paid a lot less money for the same thing but now it went back up real high just as bad as Comcast. A lot of stations I do not like and programs I don’t care for, or you have to pay extra to get a package for what you like to watch. So be careful what you pick.

Right on Yankee Doodle.

I don’t understand what Martha is trying to say but if that’s what the Catholic church teaches, then so be it.

To the postal worker, you want us to come pick up our mail at the post office or rent a P.O. box, doesn’t make any sense to me. What would you do for a living if we all did that? And not only that, you and your postal union would be out of jobs. Sgt. Ed

This is to KM who said there is a “good chance” this president is impeached. Utter nonsense based on zero fact. Your party couldn’t beat this man in the general election. Your party lost control of the Senate as well as many seats nationwide and you’re going to somehow muster the power to impeach? You said he could never win the Oval too. Sit back and relax, eight years will fly by. One Who Really Really Knows

Could anyone tell me why every resident in Montgomery County who owns a house is paying for a tax for Montgomery County Community College? What does it go towards? Who decided to do this and why didn’t the people have a vote on it? Ed

To the person who called in regarding Marianne and Georgia’s articles on the Five and Dime, neither one said anything about bringing a Five and Dime store back to Pottstown at Five and Dime prices. They said they knew that wouldn’t be possible so you need to read a little bit better because a Five and Dime would be awesome but of course the prices would be

higher. Judy

For the person complainin­g about Comcast and their service you can always put an antenna up and get all crime shows and cowboy shows shooting each other up. That’s all there is.

To Score Keeper, the travel ban will be overturned by the Supreme Court and is constituti­onal. Trumpcare will happen or Obamacare will implode. The FBI investigat­ion is to find the leakers of informatio­n. There’s been no collusion already stated by James Clapper and James Comey and 17 agencies. We are winning, you just don’t know it. It’s all political theater.

Obama lovers are upset over Supreme Court Justice nomination­s because I do believe Obama thought of that seat for himself and would have had it if Hillary had won. That way he could infiltrate some more of his corruption. Keep your impeachmen­t dreams in your head. We still have faith in you President Trump. Don’t cave to sore-losing bullies.

Gone are the days in Sound Off when every third caller was commenting on the size, shape and color of the new trash receptacle­s. That worked itself out. Now it’s the president they’re complainin­g about. That also will work itself out. Sanatoga Sam

With all due respect I would like to encourage Martha to read Revelation­s, and we do have some concerns that you have no fear of the consequenc­es yet to come so we continue on the same political path. Are you at all familiar with the word and term “Armageddon?”

Just saw that Montgomery County plans on going door-to-door to check dog licenses on May 10. Make sure you bring a warrant because that’s the only way you’ll get in my door. Patriot

If a man loves a woman’s soul he will end up loving one woman, but if he loves her face all the women in the world won’t satisfy him. Sarcastic Sam

To the postal worker commenting about people complainin­g about mail service, I’m handicappe­d, I don’t drive, I can’t get to the post office to pick up mail and I sure can’t apply for a job. Please do your job as you’re required to do.
