Dear Editor,

My friend sent me the copy of the article written by the 84 year old! How tacky that person was in the name calling. Really?? Grade school?? How old are we actually? I’m a 73 year old great grandma. So not a spring chicken – Here is my rebuttal to that letter:

84 Years –

Unfortunately, it seems that you have had a drink or two of that “proverbial Kool-Aid.” In all your years on this earth, I’m sure you have run into people who had a drink of that same “Kool-Aid.”

So, if I may reiterate: I really do wish a liars pants caught on fire.
