Sickened by number of lazy people who get paid to be lazy Kathryn Miller writes: I couldn't have said it better myself. It sickens me to see the number of lazy people who get paid to make a career out of being lazy. There are people who really do need help and can't get it because of so many playing the system. My husband and I both work too and we have a 5 year old daughter who when she was born was 16 weeks premature.

Reflections from my Past: My First Driving Experience Just recently, his parents recovered a treasure from his childhood from an old dump on the homeplace. It was his Little Green Frog Car. That memento triggered memories of the day he first laid eyes on it at after his parents bought it for him at Jay's Discount in Burkesville; and of those life lessons learned driving it and the famly Plymouth Duster. And how he lived to tell of the experiences. (I think this may be the pilot of a another Adair County Tv series - this one a modern Andy Griffith - though those are actually timeless - EW Click on headline for complete episode. By Chris Murphy Recently I was reflecting on a time way back when I was a very small child I wouldn't have even been four years old. My parents had a Plymouth Duster they drove. ( For those who don't know it is a car that Chrysler made back in the day. ) I had a little plastic car I pretended to drive. I called it my frog car because it was green and had eyes on it. It reminded me of a frog. I loved that car. I think my parents bought it for me at J's Discount in Burkesville, but you would have to ask them that. I remember this story in part because my family never let me forget it and partly because it was such a traumatic event in my early life.
