Hi. I read the Pulse Line regularly and would just like to say that I’m getting a little tired of reading the comments back from editor, or whoever it is, after every single message. It seems like you’re trying to make the caller sound dumb. So if you don’t like someone’s comments, just don’t put it in the paper. Thanks. As an avid reader of the PulseLine then you know that the changes we’ve made and the responses we make are to ensure accuracy of the submissions made to this forum. Historically comments would go unanswered and people would then believe the statement to be true when in fact it may not be. As for not printing a comment, we could have very easily not printed yours and you would have gotten upset because we didn’t print it, but we print every comment as long as it is not a personal attack on a specific individual. I hope we haven’t rambled on too much in response to your question but we wanted to make sure our readers understand the point of the PulseLine.
I’m calling regarding the transfer station stickers. I understand the need to have a sticker and I don’t have a problem paying the $10. My question is: Why can’t we buy stickers at the station for propane tanks, box springs, or any of this stuff, when this is their job to deal with these things but, yet, the Big Y can sell them to you? What does the Big Y have to do with our trash and what’s in it for them? Do they get anything out of this? Why can’t the guys at the transfer station do it? The guys down at the transfer station are not running around like Batman and Robin going 90 miles an hour. They’re very low-key and have the time to do it. I mean, the Big Y is in the opposite direction so you have to run all around town just to get a sticker. I do not understand this. Could you please inform me as to what the Big Y gets out of this deal and why the transfer station guys can’t do this? It’s senseless. Thank you. Bye.
Good afternoon, Pulse Line. This is the grandmother to the young man that went to Washington, D.C. and would like to thank the person who called in to say that they were glad I was bringing him up the right way. I sure am trying. I just would like to make aware that this was not a young girl, it was a young boy. I’m glad you got your note and I’m glad you were happy with it. It was the right thing for him to do. Thank you.
Hi. I’m calling with a small complaint about the newspaper delivery here in our area of town, the north side of town. We keep getting our newspaper rolled up so tight with a rubber band that it’s nothing but a curly mess when you try to unroll it and read it. It’s not so great, either, when you’re expecting a photo or something of someone you love in the paper and you want to cut it out and keep it but it’s all mangled up. Would you please have your carriers STOP rolling them up so tight or just stop rolling them up, period? We do not appreciate it. Thank you. Please contact our circulation manager, Melissa, at 562-4181 ext. 117 so we can find out your address to determine which carrier.
Ah, the word nepotism. I think I found the answer and the meaning. You are an elected public official. Your father retires from a city position with a pension and before cashing his first retirement check, he gets another city job. With so many people looking for work, do you really think this is fair or necessary?
I also received a “thank you” note from the young MAN who went to Washington, D.C., because his grandparents were redeeming cans and bottles for him. He is not a girl; but a very polite young man.
How can someone actually complain about the new green? These are the same people that complain about the traffic and look of downtown than when someone does something to fix it, complain about what was done. The work looks great and the traffic is greatly improved. Change is a coming so if you don’t want to be a part of it, move away. Complainers need not apply.
