BOOK IT
Can anyone tell me the name of any organization that takes old books and old records? KATE
SHELL IT OUT
To “Gilligan’s Guile,” it looks like a lot of the older oyster houses in Philadelphia have been closing in the last few years. I’m on the lookout for places that serve oyster stew for you. FELLOW OYSTER FAN
RUFF CUSTOMER
I read in the Times in that Lansdowne police has added a K-9 unit. I’d like to wish the best to their new K-9 Chapek and his handler Officer Jonathan McGowan. And thank you to Officer McGowan for his service. I wish them both health and happiness, and I hope they have a K-9 safety vest for Chapek. That was a great story.
FOLLOW THE LEADER
The gang of people that I have coffee with in the morning and I are all agreed that, following the example of our beloved Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump, we’re no longer going to do anything with our taxes. It’s just something that we’ll take from the top and see how things work out. I hope this spreads across the country. Because we do as our leader shows us. SERIOUS ON SAXER AVE.
WHAT A WORLD
My disabled son with MS was in a so-called well respected rehab and had an emergency which sent him to a hospital. When returning to the rehab, his phone was stolen. Because of his disability he can no longer dial a phone, and all is stored numbers of doctors, nurses, helpers, family and friends are gone. What is this world coming to? SAD MOTHER WITHOUT WORDS
SAME OLD
To my fellow Philadelphia sports fans: Remember our motto – “next year.” JEANETTE G.
STEPPING UP
To “Spirit Of Innovation,” I have to give those Trump critics credit where credit is due – the “Not My Presidents Day” thing was at least combined some semi-clever wordplay with action. That’s a noticeable step up from the tree-hugging, coffee shop-patronizing geniuses during W.’s time in office who put “not my president” bumper stickers on their cars and thought they were committing some landmark act of civil disobedience.
GREEN WITH ENVY
While I agree with “Don’t Do It, Aston,” that the township doesn’t need any new development, I’d like to know where we have any green areas left – any large yards in the newer housing developments on the western side of the township don’t count in my book.
TRUMP HAPPENED
I see Ivanka Trump enrolled her little kid in kindergarten and the next day picket signs appear. The left has constantly gone after Trump’s youngest son and grandchildren. What happened to when Obama was in office and his daughters were supposed to be off limits from personal attacks and criticism?
NUTS FOR NUKES
Once again, Donald Trump is talking about increasing our nuclear arsenal. This again shows that Donald Trump is completely out of touch and completely unqualified to be president.
HOWDY, NADIR!
I called in too soon about not watching the Academy Awards because of the farce it’s turned into. I should have watched to see it hit its nadir this year. But like I said before – Louis B. Mayer must be spinning in his grave.
NEVER SAY NEVER
To “Not So Sweet,” no matter what kind of damage the soda tax does, Philadelphia city government will never admit it because they have liberal self-righteousness on their side. That’s how they’re able to talk helping “the little guy” in one breath while simultaneously promoting policies that drive them out of business in the next.
FAKE MR.
“Mr. Tom In Linwood” considers all the legitimate news outlets fake news. That just shows that “Mr. Tom” and anybody else who believes in “alternative facts” – or “lies,” as we get the real world call them – are just not very bright at all.
