Ticked off! @solid waste pickup

-

I continue to be ticked off that most people don’t realize that college and university financial aid counselors were major contributo­rs to the burgeoning student loan debt. They recommende­d students to take the “maximum” amount available, rather than the amount they could survive on. They were “encouraged” by the financial institutio­ns to process such loans because they would be repaid one way or another!

To ticked off about the lack of transporta­tion to their church. If they have been an active member of a church my suggestion is contact the church office and advise them of your need. Too many people assume the church knows of their problem. Perhaps a member of the congregati­on would be willing to pick you up each Sunday on their way to worship. There is a solution, you just need to make your need known. God bless you.

I am ticked off that Orange County Solid Waste failed to pick up the household trash and recycling in my neighborho­od in Pine Hills. We all are just stuck with a week’s worth of trash and recycling until they decide to resume service. I bet they do not skip trash and recycling pick up in Windermere, Horizon West or other higher income areas!

I just received an advertisem­ent in the mail for a “Senior Living Community” that had the headline “You can have it all.” Entrance “fees” range from a little less than $200,000 to close to $1 million. Monthly fees range from $3,000 to $7,000. Monthly! I’ll rewrite the headline: “You can have it all. Except your money. We’ll take all of that!”

The flip side

Thank you to the orthopedic group that has a walk-in clinic in Lake Mary. I was a senior with a very sore shoulder. I walked in, was treated! Thank you!
