I love you Buggy, but you started it.

I really do enjoy The Daily Sun. The editorial page is a lot of fun to read and Mrs. Buggy and I laugh at some, shake our heads at some, and agree with some.

For the price, it is a great paper. The Sunday Travel Section is fun to read also - and they have had a travel story that featured me, Mrs. Buggy, and a special friend.

We buy The Daily Sun every day when we're in TV. Good way for us to get the local info that would be of interest to us. Some interesting articles on a wide variety of topics as well.

Like most other news sources, the paper isn't the be-all and end-all of every aspect of news. I check in on a variety of sources for news info depending on what topic I'm looking for.

Life without both the newspaper and Television would be hard for me.

But if you really want to quit the Sun, quit the Sun. If you change your mind, get it back.

I think you would enjoy a TV.

I have decided to keep my subscription going, at least for now. I have read a few good articles, letter to the editor, and op-ed in the last couple of days that made me realize that it's probably worth it. I also forgot to say: I'm addicted to Wonder Word!.....

Thanks to everyone for the nice replies and suggestions.

We really enjoy reading the Daily Sun. The articles about life in The Villages and what people are doing is really informative. Of course we do the crossword puzzle and read the comics too!

Villages PL, There was an interesting article about vegetarians living in TV in Tuesday's Daily Sun. I never knew there were so many varieties of vegetarians until I read the article.

Read it while you can. Print media is going the way of the dodo bird. Soon everyone will be getting their news from their nano implant microchip devices regulated by the government.

I love the paper even if it is a lot of advertising. I love stumbling upon an article I would never have searched out but having it right in front of me caused me to read it. And today the cost of the subscription was saved many times over. I was able to see the ad for Southern Lifestyles floor samples sale that started today at 9am and thus was able to be at the door when they opened. Bought a dinette set I had looked at a couple of weeks ago but was told it would take 6 weeks to get so decided to keep looking. Bought it today at 30% off and it'll be delivered Monday.

After less than a month, I find the paper repetitive and pretty boring. It is nice to turn an actual page of paper. It gives you a certain sense of calm. But I think you can find all of the information you need on line. You like sudoku? Get an app. Coupons? Get an app. The best thing about the paper is it forces me to roll out of the sack pull on some shorts and trudge down the drive attempting to appear alert and friendly, before my neighbors see my paper fading in the afternoon sun.

yes you can find the information online, but I wonder how many people go looking for something they don't even know exists? I personally would never go looking for anything Ann Coulter says because I have a preconceived opinion of her. However, having her column right in front of me often causes me to read it to see if we have any common ground. Same with editorials. I think what contributes to the polarizing problems we are seeing is that people only listen to "their" side of things, there is no civilized discussion anymore where different points of views can be presented without demonizing everything, right or left.

I really appreciate finding Ann Coulter's editorials in the Sun. She does her research and digs out the facts. She always presents a refreshing read.

Good for you. I just run out in my PJs, grumpy and disheveled, in serious need of a coffee.

I think there are a number of print newspapers that will survive... The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, the tiny Key West Citizen, possibly the Washington Post... and the Daily Sun. We don't subscribe to the Sun, but it's mainly because there's too much paper to recycle, and we don't read enough sections of it to justify using that much paper. The paper is not done in a style we like, but that's just personal preferenc.

I totally get how having a community paper in your hand is appealing. I think the paper Sun will survive.

Just like television, if you don't like the program switch or turn it off. Maybe newspapers are not for everybody, but my morning wouldn't be complete without my paper, coffee and omlet. I have an exact order to read each section and spend more time during this time of the year reading the sports page than other sections. Even though I enjoy sports the best, I have to read Lifestyles first so my wife can get it to read her favorites then do the crossword puzzle.

It's all good, Shimpy. I like the description of your mornings. I hope we will continue to have print editions of newspapers for those easy, pleasant morning starts.
