I try to read different arenas so I get a broader bent on things. I know my daughter has a few that she forwards to me also from those not so popular outlets. I don't purchase the paper or pick one up simply because of the recycling issue. Why should I pay good money for paper and then have to recycle it, being a part of the world's problem, when I can get it online.<BR/><BR/>Thanks SO much for paying it forward to ME. I will be sending you my address by e-mail, so look for it. :-)<BR/><BR/>Have a blessed day my friend.Leannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03928537274114663807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228233504071742736.post-63597374944212172932009-01-14T08:05:00.000-08:002009-01-14T08:05:00.000-08:00The day of the paper...I quit taking the paper at ...The day of the paper...<BR/><BR/>I quit taking the paper at least 15 years ago.

I mean, we had a bank robbery a month ago and they never printed any of that.<BR/><BR/>I get my news from websites if I want it. Other than that, I don't want to know.<BR/><BR/>I know, it's bad but hey.zireldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14792721036817871681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228233504071742736.post-88932415420864395962009-01-13T18:01:00.000-08:002009-01-13T18:01:00.000-08:00You make very good points about the demise of the ...You make very good points about the demise of the newspaper business. One other gripe...from a soy-allergic person...is that the news is now all printed with--yes, SOY-based inks. <BR/><BR/>Go figure. <BR/><BR/>Wish you could be here for the fun next week. Lots of celebrating going down in NoVA, the Liberal Stronghold of this state. Should be very, very interesting. They're even talking of no bread, milk and TP in the stores.

The funny part is, at least here, when the newspaper began laying off staff (and I assume) eventually going out of business altogether, the reason cited is "people getting their news on the internet". I am sure some of that goes on, but like you - I can't help but wonder, if they would stick to the way the NEWSpaper has always written NEWS stories, then how could we get that anywhere else? Now, it's just the same news, on tv, the radio, in the paper, on the internet...all the same. <BR/><BR/>Hugs friend. :)Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18085622205448586156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228233504071742736.post-60608935807472794412009-01-13T05:15:00.000-08:002009-01-13T05:15:00.000-08:00We used to have 2 daily papers here in Tulsa.

It was a bit on the conservative side. In the evening, as I was running outside to greet and hug him he would be reaching down to pick up the Tulsa World. Now a days, since we only have one...it takes him all day to get through it...but he does. The smell of newspaper reminds me of him. We've had a subscription to the World ever since we moved back here...and I love it when I find an article that I haven't already heard about on TV.<BR/>Good for you on the Pay it Forward. It's a beautiful thing to do.<BR/>Hugs my friend :)tthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14157492410943794052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228233504071742736.post-20372935082691534152009-01-12T21:44:00.000-08:002009-01-12T21:44:00.000-08:00I feel the samw way you do about newspapers, and h...I feel the samw way you do about newspapers, and have been a subscriber to the Times for....let's see.....30 years. (OMG!)<BR/><BR/>But you are right, it takes me about 20 minutes to read the whole thing. Most of the stories i've heard on the radio already. If it wasn't for the comics and Dear Ann (or whomever) i don't know as i'd read it at all.menohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18065283682414369608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228233504071742736.post-65741319445985961192009-01-12T21:25:00.000-08:002009-01-12T21:25:00.000-08:00When I was growing up we had two major dailies her...When I was growing up we had two major dailies here. The Arkansas Gazette was the "liberal" paper and the Arkansas Democrat was, oddly enough, the "conservative" paper. <BR/><BR/>When I was in college the Democrat bought out the Gazette and took it's name and became the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette. Or as many of affectionately refer to it, The Dog. <BR/><BR/>The Democrat was and is a shitty paper. The Gazette was the oldest paper west of the Mississippi and had a HUGE trophy case in their main lobby showcasing all the awards that had been bestowed upon the paper and it's writers. Including a couple of Pulitzers. The Democrat now claims to have been awarded those. It pisses many of us off. <BR/><BR/>Whenever I go anywhere, the first thing I do is buy the local paper. And all the free weeklies and "underground" papers too. Always lots of fun to read through them.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134850383532818765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5228233504071742736.post-32900901154985176792009-01-12T19:58:00.000-08:002009-01-12T19:58:00.000-08:00Dear Brad,I must say I love reading your blog, I w...Dear Brad,<BR/>I must say I love reading your blog, I wished you a Happy New Year on being Mr. Bubbles, that is prolly the first time I read you blog, but I must say I do enjoy yours the most, if anything I hoped to learn the most in life was finishing school and learning Volcabulary,reading your blog I am reacing for my dictionary all the time too learn New things and I Sincerly thank you, and I love the sound and even the meaning of Eloquence, You are ELOQUENCED TO ME.
