Michigan State. Have they not learned anything?

Can't those in charge of the college do anything to correct the continued, destructive behavior of some, not all of their students?  I know parents can't control  these kids when they leave home and go wild after any victories but try, please.  Michigan State has been  continually put to great shame by their students uncontrolled bad behavior.  Maybe making them pay their own way might help.  Let them know these four years aren't free.  Great sacrifices by the parents have been made. Don't let it all be for nothing.  And, I'm quite sure  the police departments have much better things to do than baby sit (with danger) these extremely immature 'students'.............................marge

Protection? From whom?

Want to protect your home and property?  Get a gun and shoot invading adults.  As to the seemingly threatening children walking by,  get a couple pit bulls that can break through the fence.  Maybe its time to be afraid of these homeowners....................marge

I swear

I truly believe I saw an adorable child sitting on an older white haired man's lap in some world poverty charity ad.  Just recently it appears that it is the same child in an American health insurance company ad.  Be careful to whom you donate.............................marge

New auto designers. Listen up.

The world is getting more Senior drivers everyday.  You keep designing for 25 year olds +.  I, as a Senior, understand the changes in driving habits of older people.  That doesn't make us 'bad' drivers.  It means YOU must design accordingly.  Those big screens with a wealth of information is as bad as texting and driving.  Both are deadly.  I'll repeat a few suggestions.  Level the car making it easier to see out the rear window.  Do you know how hard it is to see a tailgating 'mini' car with your current designs?  I know it's probably impossible to make the headrests transparent but it would be great if you could.  The current headrests really do block vision.  I don't need all the automaticity that's here.  If I want a warmer seat, I'll put on long johns before I get into the car that I'll have to warm up for a couple minutes and that's ok.  Really.  I'm driving my Chevy Tracker that was bought in July of 2000.  It has a little over 90 thousand miles on it.  Aside from the rust on the rocker panels, it's in great shape.  Onward and upward, please........................................marge

I hope I don't have to go out today.

I can't understand how big chain stores can afford to be so generous on this 'Black Friday' weekend.  Is this just another 'marketing gimmick'?  Is it out of the kindness of their hearts or are they making such huge profits the rest of the time they can afford to sell cheaper a couple days out of the year?  There are lines and lines of people out to buy 'large ticket' items extending almost around the buildings.  What about those truly in need?  All the charity requests tell us they are out there, except on Thanksgiving weekend.  I just don't get it..................................marge

I cannot come up with an answer.

I have a question for which I have no answer.  Maybe a reader who thinks outside the box can.  Is there any way a deaf child (younger or older) can participate in a spelling bee?......................marge

Spring cleaning

I confess. I came from a well to do family.  Once we had four dishwashers.  Not too many for a family of six.  Unfortunately, one by one, they moved away.  I'm now considering thoughts of spring cleaning.  Not for 2016 mind you, 20 15.  I decided several (actually more) years ago I was allergic to dust, not just on table tops but also floors.  This leaves me in a conundrum.  I hate to part with money unless its for something fun.  Paying to get dust removed isn't fun.  If I felt better afterward, I might consider it but past experience tells me any mood elevation is short lived.  The dust keeps returning.  What to do, what to do.....................................marge
