Cheers: To all who helped us after we went through some tribulation and stressful times.

Jeers: To all the people who choose to watch the Alliance Air Show from the freeway exits and service roads instead of making a donation to the USO. What a great display of your patriotism.

Jeers: To a doctor at River Oaks Clinic. He was very rude and unprofessional when seeing my sister. If you do not accept a person’s type of insurance, that is one thing. But to start telling them about all of your bills and what you have to pay is unacceptable and unprofessional.

Jeers: To those of my fellow Texans who are appalled with the election of Barack Obama. Are we so cynical and self-righteous that we can’t see this as a positive change for our country as a whole and at least give him a chance to change what is so wrong in our own country?

Jeers: To the rotten thieves who stole the pumpkins off my front porch — TWICE! The first pair lasted about 12 hours and the second a couple of days. Don’t people have anything better to do than drive around in the night looking for something to steal? Shame on you.
