Grandpa,I need help in getting my husband to shut up. He cannot answer a simple yes or no question without giving a lengthy explanation for his answer. We run (a cottage industry) out of our house. I dread when he is taking care of a customer; he is always trying...
May 1, 2021Dear editor; Here we go again with the Monday Morning Quarter Backs (M.M.QBs). This 13- year old so-called “angel boy” was registered as a runaway by his mother. Then he returned home. Why is the media refraining from talking about what he was doing at 2:30 in the...
Grandpa,My husband tells me that he is a member of (a social club) and goes to meetings three times a week. Allegedly these meetings are held at (a local motel). With the COVID-19 shut down, I find it hard to believe this club meets that often. I have driven past...
Grandpa,I need to vent. I own a small duplex and I am struggling to keep my payments up to date. This ruling that landlords cannot evict tenants for non-payment of rent is killing me. I rent the smaller half of the building to a young couple. Both are working full...
By Bela “Bill” SuhaydaAurora First in a series When politics and science mix, science always loses, as does truth. Huge money has been invested into the Climate Change movement world wide. So it is only natural big money will push for the type of industry and technology their vested interests...
Grandpa,I have heard of some ridiculous things that some do when it comes to taking food home from parties. You have printed some things in your column. But nothing I have read or heard has ever topped this one! My former neighbor, with whom I have kept in contact, asked...
Grandpa,I found a wallet that had (two figures) in cash in it. There were several credit cards and other stuff. I found the man’s address, but not a phone number. I drove out to the man’s address and returned the wallet to him. He acknowledged that all the credit cards...
Grandpa,I am not sure what to do. I am in (Grandpa withheld which county) jail awaiting trial. One of the other guys in here was telling me about a (crime) he committed in (another state). I want to work out a deal with the state’s attorney here to report what...
By Bela “Bill” SuhaydaAurora Using death to achieve political gain is something the political left and media have been doing to critical acclaim for a long time. It used to be taboo. Now it is a strategy, especially with Democrats. Enter Robert Long, a white male, and an admitted sex...
Grandpa says: Happy April Fool’s Day. May you have a lovely Spring! Spring brings out the child in all of us and has for as long as man has been on this planet. As far back as ancient Egyptian legends of Isis, Osiris, and Seth, people have used the advent...
Grandpa,Last March I filled out the census form and sent it in as required. Last week I got a telephone call informing me that I was in violation because the information I gave was not in accord with the information the government had on file. The caller said that I...
Grandpa,I read about the belief that man either came from or had interactions with, benevolent beings from outer space and that there are metals found as far back as ancient Egypt that are proven to have come from other planets. The article did not go into great detail about these...
Grandpa,I realize that because your column has to be concise that you can’t go into depth on topics, but your assertion that Pope Urban II’s call November 27, 1095 (See The Voice, November 6, 2020) was prompted by imperialism, overlooks the real causes. During the 7th and 8th Centuries, Moslems...
The coffee klatch at Julie’s Café Market asks: What’s going to happen in American politics over the next few years, now that Donald Trump has declared he plans to be the leader of the Republican Party? Here is my take. In sum, the Republican Party will survive, if at all,...
By John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead Americans are not safe in their homes. Not anymore, at least. This present menace comes from the government and its army of bureaucratized, corporatized, militarized, mercenaries who are waging war on the last stronghold left to us as a free people: The sanctity...
Grandpa,With all this election hype going on, I have advice given me years ago by my father. He told me that Republicans are biblebeating control freaks, Democrats are socialist-control freaks and Libertarians are burned out hippie freaks. Don’t vote for any of them. I am taking his advice. Grandpa says:...
Grandpa,Can you tell me the origin of these words and the appropriate use of them; (Grandpa chose not to publish the words and phrases). Grandpa says: Can I? Yes. Will I? No. Profanity is not part of Grandpa’s chosen syntax. There is no appropriate use for these words, or phrases...
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda It’s been four years of nonstop harassment and attacks on Donald Trump. It all ended, at least for now, in a second acquittal in his second impeachment trial. The charge against him this time was “incitement of insurrection.” The charge was alluded to by Nancy Pelosi...
Grandpa,I don’t know if this is a scam or if “authorities” in Chicago are just reaching out beyond their legal boundaries again. Every year at this time I get a cold. It has been happening for years and it is just a part of life with which I deal and...
