burton99 regarding Memories & Messages

To-- Josh and both families --- Our thoughts and prayers still go out to all of you every day since this has happened. We have 1 daughter and we live in Coal City. You are VERY brave and we give you a lot of credit to have the faith and courage to go on and be so positive about life after this. I lost my mom in Dec. '04 and my grandma in Oct. '05. Even though it's been that long now, there are a lot of days that I just feel that I don't want to go on anymore. Maybe I need a speech from you or something, I don't know, but I don't know how you do it. It's not that I knew Amanda SO well, but we did "talk/type" a few times on a website, Cafe Mom. Not sure if you were familiar with it or not. God bless you and we will think of you and never forget this. You can email us, if you wish -- at burtontrades@sbcglobal.net Maria and Tom Jacobs and family

stankstar regarding Morris treats fans with win

morrisman,maybe my last name is stankster.You made the statement"I can remember the day when Morris was the small school beating up on the big schools"Cuold you back that statement up with some facts,scores or something. 4A small schools,7a 8a are big schools.Per your statement please tell me when morris was beating up on big schools.Plainfield Oswego Minooka do not count because they were also small schools at the time.When they became big schools Morris hid tail and switched conferences not once but twice.I will give you credit for the one win over JCA, but how many times have they beat you?I hope you can come up with more than one because you did say schools.

TexasDebbie regarding Memories & Messages

God be with you and Bless you, Josh. And also yours and Mandy's parents and family. It's still so hard to think that I will never see her again, this side of Heaven. What you are doing in memory of her and your kids will impact people that you will never know. At least something good will come about from this awful, terrible, senseless and preventable tragedy!

robbob regarding Halvorson supporting Democrat's health care legislation

I am still regretting voting for her in the past election(mostly because I was sick of Weller). The only way to right my way is to vote again in the next election. It would be nice to have a fresh face to politics run. I do not believe any of our current "leaders" are working for us, the people. PS Debbie, no one but your most ardent supporters knew about your public forums.

areader regarding Two books can teach key lessons to us all

The first three I would recommend is Elie Weisel's Night trilogy. These discuss his experience living through the Holocaust. I have read them several times and get something different out of them each time.

areader regarding Sticker collections get thicker

Tom - I really so not think you have much sports in your background or you would not knock these badges of honor if you had earned a few.

areader regarding Sticker collections get thicker

Tom - this article is about 3 schools. Which ones are you putting down now - Morris or all of them. Morris is the only one with a 6-4 record (learn to count) but they all use stickers as many colleges do - Iowa, Ohio State, Florida - are you putting them down too?

areader regarding Two books can teach key lessons to us all

There are many good books that teach lessons like these. Maybe we should start a reading club and discuss them. I could list 5 to 10 myself. Mr. Baum - thanks for adding to my reading list.
