Toxic religion injures our nation

Read Toxic religion injures our nation in the Fay Observer.

Quaker minister and author Philip Gulley once said, “History has shown that there are two ways to destroy a nation. It can either be bombed back to the Stone Age or handed over to fundamentalists, who then do what they do best — dismantle progress, demonize women, science, homosexuals, and crush dissent — all the while claiming to be victims of religious bigotry when others seek to curb their excesses.”

Verizon STINKS!!!!!

I am so annoyed with Verizon. After Katrina Bell South informed us it would be 6 months before our land line was fixed so we told them not to bother and got cell phones for everyone in the family.

Up until this week that has worked fine for us. Now I don't have a signal. I can't even text and hubby is out of town. I called Verizon and apparently they have acquired Alltel and are doing something to the towers. All I know is my phone doesn't have reliable service. Tonight I got to talk to Hubby for like 2 seconds and then I lost the signal, and that is when he finally got through he had tried to caller earlier and I didn't even show a missed call. Most of the time I have to wait 30 minutes or more before I can get a signal again so I can dial out, and half the time when I try to send a text it says message delivery failed. this STINKS!!!! Why should I get LOUSY SERVICE for over a week just because Verizon decided to buy another company???????

Delta Queen nominated as endangered historic site

I had a chance to see it when it was in Vicksburg. I hope they are able to save it.

The historic riverboat Delta Queen has been nominated to become one of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places.

Landing on the exclusive annual list could save the steamboat from likely decay.

The 82-year-old sternwheeler is scheduled to shut down because Congress has refused to grant another exemption from a federal law that bans more than 50 overnight passengers on boats that are largely made of wood. The exemption expired on Oct. 31.

Joffrey's Coffee 2.0 Java Update

Awhile back I was sent Joffrey's Coffee 2.0 Java to try. Hubby finally got around to using it. We made it in our Senseo Coffee Maker, with the Presto MyPod (it allows us to use any coffee we wish instead of buying the special pods. I loved the rich flavor and Hubby was even impressed with it. Best of all it allowed us to feel alert without feeling wired. Great coffee, go over to Joffrey's and give it a try.
