The Lowndes County Web site says a form is attached to mail in for the $100 fee for solid waste. It is not. The least they can do is put it on there for people who cannot go in person and have not received the form via mail. It does no good to call or e-mail either.

Thumbs up to The Valdosta Daily Times for pointing out how pathetic it is to be so concerned with what is in someone else's grocery cart. As a doctor here in Valdosta, I see people all day long who are suffering the effects of wayward grocery store purchases. My advice to everyone is to keep your noses out of other people's carts and focus on your own obesity, alcohol intake and tobacco purchases. I would wager that none of those complaining are ready for the cover of Shape magazine.

Whoever stole my three rod and reels off my dock the other night, thank you for leaving the best one. For your info, the three you have are not in working order. Broken tips, lines need respooling, outdated and need cleaning. Next time bring a flashlight.

The City of Nashville needs to get with the real world. Putting your entire public works department on a four- day week and then telling us we have to pay an after-hours fee for service on Friday? Doubling our water bill and then doubling it again, while reducing city hall hours so that we have to take off work to come talk about it? I want a job with Nashville. They are better than bank hours.

As a nurse, I have had the opportunity to meet many military spouses dealing with the stresses of everyday life while their husbands/wives are deployed. And although I make a point to voice my appreciation to those serving, I would also like to give my support to those holding things down on the homefront. You're doing a great job.

The notice that Lowndes County utilities sent out was a little confusing. Read it carefully. The rates are increasing, but they are not being doubled. For some reason the total they gave you was for the current month and an example of the new rate change for the following month combined. No, your rate is not going to double.

Rave to The Times for printing the scriptures in big print.
