Don't get me wrong... my personal favorite is Gail Collins, and she's no conservative! I was just pointing out some more level-headed conservative columnists whose views I respect more than those of some others.

CFrance. I would blindly follow you into war, give you all of my savings and well, I would have to stop short of handing over the grandchildren, but....

I just love you.

Which proves;

The farmers and the cowmen can be friends.

Thanks, Gracie. Back at ya.

Don't follow me into war, though--I'm a lousy shot!

If you are not benefiting from your subscription you should cancel it, but don't blame the newspaper. The Daily Sun puts a lot of other well known newspapers to shame. It is one of the best newspapers I have read.

They used to. Before we moved here full-time, we had a mail subscription sent to Ohio. Some days we would get several issues, some days none, but we would save them and enjoy reading them on the weekends. It was a fun way to keep up with what was happening in The Villages while we were up north.

Well, I can't give you an answer about a decision if you should subscribe further or not. I think it is a very personal thing to talk about but really, I would ask myself why I kept the newspaper for so long when I do not read most of it.
I know that our future is going to be paperless, we would save a lot of trees. But I also know I would become a person which would dependent from electronically sources, would have maybe square eyes from the screens and would have to swallow all news, advertisements and stuff I don't want to see or hear. Where to stop that?
We can't do it anymore, we can not get out of this circle, we need computer, TV, iPad, iPhone etc. So, for my person, I will keep my subscription of the newspaper so I can have a different point of view(s). And, yes, I like to read the newspaper while sipping my coffee/tea in the morning and I do not want to type in what I want to read in the keyboard first.

Tha Daily Sun delivered to my door by 6:30 Am or earlier is something to enjoy with my morning breakfast. Coming from a long tradition of having something to read first thing in the morning.

I usually read it from front to back, but in days gone by. it was the comics and sports. It's nice to see what's avialable to do for the day, if one's calendar is not filled, or enjoying new things one may not be aware of.

I get my hard core news from the internet and enjoy reading The New Yok Daily News on Sunday. I like my news coverage to be well balanced, with both point of views expressed.

It does take some time to read all this but I am retired, and sometimes have time to kill. At least for the time being.

I find it convenient to stop delivery when I plan to be away, and start back when I arrive home. The circulation department is good at that, as i have done it several times already.

I've been subscribing to the Daily Sun since I moved here 4 years ago. Mostly they go unopened into the recycle bag. But I do need the Wednesday (for the grocery ads) and Thursday (for Recreation News). If I bought them at 50 cents apiece that would almost equal the yearly subscription, plus the trouble of remembering to buy them. So!!!

[RErmer]

Puzzles, ads and upbeat news are the things I like. For true news I go elsewhere.

The morning paper has been "holding" our marriage together for many many years. It has been the one thing we always do together almost every morning. Coffee and newspaper---sharing some bizarre story or situation going on in our crazy crazy world---it makes our day!

An old Thread but I will continue anyway.

During the summer we read Illinois oldest newspaper (so they claim) every morning. Lincoln said "The Journal was always my friend".

I like to think that I have an "open mind" about various subjects. If the Daily Sun disappoints me, it is usually because they only print "one side" of a particular issue---you know what I mean. I like different points of view----I think it makes you grow as an individual Wheather you agree or not.

"The difference between a smart person and a wise person is that a wise person has the ability to change their mind.". Jim said that.

If you are putting your newspapers into the recycle bag, please consider this.

Some Humane Societies use newspaper to line cages.

We take our newspapers once a week to Buffalo Ridge Veterinarian, just north of CR 466. They collect them, and the proceeds go to the Humane Society. (We also occasionally drop off bags of dog food, and used blankets, towels, sheets, etc, which can be used as bedding for pets.)

Perhaps your local Vet is also a drop-off point.
