Dear Editor, Does your doctor make you feel good? Does he or she tell you what you want to hear just to make you happy? If so, you probably should look for another doctor. No one enjoys leaving the doctor’s office feeling bad. We don’t want to hear, “You need to change your lifestyle.” We don’t want to hear, “You need to cut way back on your sugar intake.” We enjoy our habits. Habits are hard to break. My wife’s grandfather loved smoking. He wouldn’t give it up even after numerous cancer surgeries. He died at age 65. A friend…

Pam Wanner4 years ago3 mins

Dear Editor, Most of us simply want peace in our lives, nation, and world. We enjoy resting in a warm or cool house with something to eat, free from worry and stress. Peace is not always easy.

The new Republican movement

Ron Martin4 years ago2 mins
