Not a GM fan. Was not raised in a GM household (father did not work at GM) Only drive a GM vehicle because spouse's family is GM retired and got a GM discount. Quality sucks. SOMEDAY I will be able to afford to tell GM to shove it. As a free American, it's my RIGHT to buy any darn thing I want with my hard earned cash.
We, the workers, have give everything to keep this hospital going. We deserve the extension. We are playing ball. There was only once we did not meet our "quota" but other than that we FAR exceeded out numbers. We are busting tail are TMH and we gave in readily. Can't say that for Northside.
There are too many elderly people driving that have NO BUSINESS behind the wheel. NO BUSINESS AT ALL. They want to talk about the young people. I think the elderly are just as bad. I think they should have to PROVE they can still handle a care after a certain age. Not just the eye test, but a driving test. I've seen them driving down the wrong on/off ramps. The don't stop for red lights or stop signs. They damage other cars in parking lots. Parking too close and slamming doors or shopping carts into vehicles. Pay attention for one week and see how many YOU can pick out.
I rarely use stamps or the post office. I pay all my bills online including magazine subscriptions. For the rarity that I MUST use the post office, this little increase rarely affects me. I send e-cards, e-mail, etc. The only other time I use the post office is at Christmas time for cards and THAT is less and less. For sending packages, I use UPS or FEDEX (much more reliable) Personally I think they should eliminate the Saturday delivery to cut costs.
I really hope that this church congregation can find their way. I do not belong to this church but I agree with letlightshine who said 'How could a former “man of the cloth” plead innocent in the civil court yet by removing himself from the denomination[at no one’s request] in essence declares guilt?' and it was enlightening to hear 'One steps outside the jurisdiction of the denomination when one knows that thru church legal action, he would be found guilty.' This pastor sounds like a true predator. How sad for your flock. There muct be some way to circumvent the local church and have ELCA step in.
No Grump, they have us over a barrel. We need our jobs. They continue to stick it to us and they know we have to swallow it down with a smile. They have the upper hand. But without us speaking out, no one will ever know how they operate.
Sounds to me like this church needs a complete overhaul in pastors, council, secretary, treasurers, committees, etc. The congregation has obviously been let down. I have absolutely NO IDEA how things like this go, so who can come in and monitor it and reorganize it? Who do you turn to? Maybe the answer is to disband and reform under the NEW ZION church or give it a new name with a fresh approach. And if the congregation is split, the ones who are on this fallen pastor's side should go and start over and the ones who are no should stay and reorganize. Why should they pay for this fallen pastor's mistakes. I just looked at the website and the church looks very nice. Maybe that is the problem. The pastor got too big for his position. He got proud and greedy and thought he could do what he wanted. I don't know. But I'm sure there is a better pastor who is more humble and more CHRIST centered and who loves the WORD more than the BUCK.

If you think the Vindy is a bad paper, try reading the Tribune. It's a true rag. I think the Vindy is a much better quality paper.
