" I like anyone that has high speed internet. It makes it so much easier for me to go wireless and not worry about the internet service bill. :-) "

" I am on the other end, with my youngest starting his senior year in high school today -- and thrilled that they are finally almost old enough to take care of themselves. You just have to hunker down and survive those teenage years and hope that all those good things you tried to teach them when they were little come through and that they go off into life and come back as decent adults, like ugly caterpillars hatching out of their chrysalises into butterflies. My kids aren't bad kids -- there have been no issues with drinking, drugs, fast cars, staying out late, getting in trouble with girls or other guys, lying, cheating, stealing, vandalism -- none of the things lots of kids do. No, they are just plain lazy, despite having two very hard-working parents. So much for "actions speak louder than words" and teach by example. Sigh. Like I said, I have to have faith they will grow out of it as they grow up. But, no, I am not heartbroken that the kids are back in school -- if they'll just put their intelligence to use, do their schoolwork and pass all their classes, I will be content. Different perspectives for different stages of life, not to mention every person is an individual, but I have a feeling the "empty nest" is going to be like a nice vacation break at long last.... "

" Who made you the yard sale police? If I don't want to mark yard sale items, that's my right. I want to haggle and I will probably sell for less but sell more. "

" Why can't the state champs get a sponsor to pick up the cost of turf? Pepsi, Coke or Dominos? Or here in Newburyport, MA a group of citizens are raising funds for repairs to the stadium and turf at a cost of $1.7 million from bake sales, walk-a- thons, wine tastings, pledges, and contributions from businesses and just about any way they can raise money. They don't just write to the editor and complain, they act. And Newburyport is the smallest city in Massachusetts. About the same size as Auburn. "

" With Verizon FIOS it is important that you use the filters you get in your start-up kit. Without these filters your highspeed internet can interfere with your phone signal. Read the install instructions or call your support line for help. There is no charge for support. The technology is a little more complicated than Ma Bell. It is worth it to have a competitor to the monopolistic cable companies high rates. "

" Good glad to see money going elsewhere then to tubman it gets more than most things here in Auburn "

" Are there others that have switched to Verizon FiOS, and are having people tell you that your phone line is busy when you know it's not??? "

" Is anyone else as sad as I am that their child will be starting Kindergarten tomorrow? It really depresses me. "

" Satan is a myth invented to scare you and to give religious people somebody to blame for their inconsistent morality. Please don't waste your time hating figments of your imagination! "

" I thought you people already voted on turf @Holland Stadium ????? Glad I don't live in THe City !!!!! "

" Call the Syracuse Chiefs baseball office, they have a ton of turf. "

" Mr. Lynch's commentary regarding GW Bush is akin to references to Satan in the bible....so hating Satan is OK, isn't it?? "

" Have you seen what they are doing to Alliance Statium, they are removing the turf and going back to natural grass. I hope we now can put it to rest. "

" Just as before...any proposal to use capital funds for a Holland Stadium renovation (including new field turf) will be subject to a public referendum. The voters (those that do vote) will decide. "

" With the start of the new school year, here is an interesting math problem we should all know the answer to: LARGE grant money divided by 37 directors equals zero left for Tubman museum. "
