My bank balance is a constant reminder that I’m safe from identity theft.

Carlton, very good article in Sunday’s paper. I hope they do not run you out of town because you think for yourself. It was refreshing to read.

Thank you, Carlton, for your article on hatred and prejudice, especially from religious organization. You’er preaching to the choir.

The columns on Perspectives on 9A in Sunday’s paper were wonderful. I even enjoyed reading Cal Thomas, who I do no like.

For all the people saying there’s no Christmas music, every Christmas Eve at 10 a.m. the Nine Lessons and Carols comes from King’s College Chapel at Cambridge, England, broadcast by PBS on the radio. An hour and a half of the most beautiful music you’ve ever heard in your life.

Went to pay my property tax at the Dougherty County Office, along with many others, on Friday Dec. 22 only to find out that the offices were closed, to reopen on the 26th when taxes are due. Can you imagine what the line will be that day?

Is Albany Utilities letting Dawson peanut inspectors inspect their building on Pine Avenue?

I can’t believe the Albany Police Department’s not helping wit traffic control around the Albany Mall.

I want to thank the Lord for his son Jesus. When that storm came through Jan. 2 and it came through again on Jan. 22, and the last one, Maria, the weather bureau showed that storm also was coming straight up Albany. I prayed and I prayed. You know what the Lord did? He sent it up to the west side of Albany and through Alabama and then to the Atlantic Ocean.

I think it’s a shame we have so many people who can’t read these days, even simple words like “enter” and “exit.”

Americans, let’s for the new year coming in — 2018 — put Jesus Christ ahead of everything — husbands, wives and friends. For a new year’s resolution, put Christ first.

“Nightmare on Elm Street” marathon. How Chistmasy is that?

If you think the Iranians let the hostages go because they were more afraid of Reagan than Carter, you’ve had too much of the Trump eggnog.

A whole year has gone by and all the Democrats and Republicans and Trump do is fuss at each other about this and that. Why don’t they try to help the people who put them up there? Have a merry Christmas.

Sounds like when Jeff Sessions took the job he should have asked for chest-waders instead of hip-waders. ‘cause he’s sure got in a deep mess of it.

You need to turn on your headlights at dark or when it’s raining or foggy. It’s not just what you see, but what other drivers see when you’re in the area.

I don’t know how we can criticize this president like he’s going to harm our sons and daughters in wars when the last president gave them money to fight against us for eight years.

Got our 2 percent Social Security increase for 2018. Medicare Part B went up, too. My wife’s net is $0 and mine is $3. Thanks.

When Trump says, “Believe me,”don’t believe him.
