Orchids to …
• Dr. Benjamin, for making my feet feel better!
• President Trump for my 401k increase — you rock!
• the school board for making the right choice to support teachers and students by closing schools so teachers can attend the Red for Ed rally on Nov. 19th.

Onions to …
• the person complaining about teachers protesting during a school day for not understanding the plight of teachers in the nation, especially in Indiana.
• all the bicycle riders that ride out by Simmons Winery and take up half the road — it is going to come to a point of me getting hit head-on or a biker in the ditch.
• the outlet mall that hasn’t flown the U.S. flag since its name change.
• teachers using children to force an issue.
• people showing our children to protest to get what you want.

• taxing everything so much people can’t afford it, i.e., fuel and ammunition.
• the local hospital help line that has not called back or answered for three days to help a patient sign on.
• the anti-Crumpers — many community members would much rather their hard earned tax dollars be spent on repairing a local historic theater, which would bring visitors to Columbus, rather than a useless riverside project.
• teachers who are attending a rally, forcing schools to close.
• those who refuse to have their job performance evaluated and refuse to learn how to do a better job, but still demand to be paid more.
• those who seem to think tractors require license plates.
• the hamburger shop off National Road — you put in your order, wait for 30 minutes and still don’t get it, having to get a refund, I’m never going back.
• politicians taking up TV time on the impeachment of Trump — if you don’t like him, vote him out.
• immigrants of the DACA program who refuse to apply for U.S. citizenship.
