Whoa! Wha'ppen? Town Talk Posts 'O the Month

THIS IS FOR the person that called in about the scary, dirty, half-naked people at Westfield Mall at South County. I agree with you as far as the scary ones and dirty ones go, but I think you should leave the half-naked ones out there because it will give somebody like me an incentive to go to the mall.

MANY WOMEN SHOULD never wear slacks or shorts. If they would look into a long mirror with a hand mirror they would really see what their fannies look like. For some women, dresses and skirts would look more proper. Some of you ladies please look into that long mirror.

WOMEN BASHING IN TOWN TALK: I'm beginning to wonder if you people have anything to do all day long. Let's see, I'm not supposed to wear slacks or shorts because I might not look gorgeous in them. People I'm not in a beauty contest. I'm doing the work necessary to take care of my grandchildren, my husband and my elderly in-laws. If I get the laundry, cooking and cleaning done for this group, plus the yard work, I'm very happy. And as for women in a group being immoral, people are sometimes moral and sometimes immoral and no one, by and large, is entirely one way or the other. Immorality is not determined by age, sex, race or anything else.

I FOLLOWED JIM Fox's advice and went to the Carondelet Bakery Friday morning. I walked up to the door and the door was locked. It was 7:30 in the morning and there were people inside. They looked at me, smiled, turned and walked off. So from now on, if he's going to tell someone to go to a bakery, please tell us what time these places open. Thank you, very much.

Editor's note: How about calling and finding out when they open?

N RESPONSE TO nature versus neighbors: What neighbors may be intolerant of is the fungi and bacteria contained in these bird droppings. Birds carry 60 types of diseases and prolonged exposure to bird droppings can lead to health problems such as lung disease. I would not call this intolerance, but rather concern for one's health.

DO YOU KNOW why people hate dog walkers? Beware of the people that carry the little plastic bags for poop. I have found the plastic bags hanging from my trees with dog poop in them. They drop them into your yard on the side or the back of your property. Not only that, you don't see police arresting Peeping Toms anymore. That's because they're standing under your bedroom windows and picture windows looking into your house. And you think he's just a dog walker. He's not. So beware!

PLEASE KEEP FEEDING the squirrels. They are God's creatures and need food just like the birds. And I'm not as intolerant against my neighbors or the squirrels, but they need food also.

When someone smokes and pollutes the air and throws the cigarette butt down, they have poisoned and withered the community.

I just returned from a trip aboard a prominent airline. We don't have smoking anymore, but now people bring food aboard. We had one lady eating a taco that smelled terrible, and another lady was eating a hamburger with a bunch of onions. A gentleman behind me was eating a banana, and someone else was eating an orange. It smelled like a garbage dump. Bring back the smokers. At least it's one same smell.

The elections are over now and the reality check is in. Hold on to your hats.

God is in control, and Bush won. Thank you to all the Christians that got out and voted. We showed the country we wanted to keep the person with the right values who will protect us. Thank God for bringing Bush back to the White House and to all you who didn't support Bush, you need to examine your morals.

I agree with last week's caller about the trees on Main Street. It's a crying shame that all their tops got cut off.

HAS ANYONE CHECKED the prices of oranges lately? They were two for 99 cents at our store. I think that's terrible. At one time you could buy a dozen for 99 cents.

I'M TOLD THAT the morning after the presidential election Hillary was already consulting with an interior decorator about changing the color schemes in some of the rooms in the White House. Any truth to that one?

WHO DECIDED TO use that stupid rap song for the Cardinals? Rap may have a place but that surely isn't where it belongs. Whatever happened to the "Heat is On?" That was a great song and everybody could get to it and get with it. Rap may have a place somewhere, but it sure isn't in Cardinal baseball.

I WOULD LIKE to respond to the "Drunken Catholic" at the school picnic: I believe it was Ben Franklin that said, "Here is proof that God loves us and wants us all to be happy."

Editor's note: Huh?

THIS IS FOR the drunken Catholic caller that quoted Benjamin Franklin as for as beer goes. Well, Benjamin Franklin also said that when a man is choosing a mistress he should chose an older woman because they are so grateful. So I think we should all go out and get ourselves good and liquored up, go pick up some old gal and head for the nearest Catholic church picnic.
