Orchids to …

• Dr. Stephen Brueggemann and surgery eye team nurses, Jenny, Bethany, Rhonda, Connie and Mary for the excellent care, from Margaret E.

Onions to …
• whoever thinks celebrating what was an illegal activity of the 1920s as a fundraiser is a good idea.
• those responsible for destroying the wooded area on the northeast corner of the intersection of I-65 and State Road 46.
• Republicans who keep attacking the process because they can’t defend the White House.
• those who confuse the rules used by the GOP to impeach Clinton with Russian tactics; following the law is not a coup.
• those in charge for selecting so-called experts of inclusion for ignoring red flags.
• a fire department for continuing to use the term “firemen” instead of “firefighter” — not only is it sexist but shows a preference for male applicants instead of anyone who can do the job.
• Democrats who have no idea what to do if President Trump leaves office.
• local politicians who take out-of-state money and use out-of-state businesses.
• the bizarre claim that President Obama was the worst president when he is considered by many to be one of our very best.
• the community for not having the same excitement for saving the Crump Theatre as they do for lining up at a local restaurant.
• those who want to tear down the Crump, obviously you have do not have good childhood memories or you are from out of town.
• whoever is responsible for making Hillcrest Road a gravel road instead a chip-and-fill road.
• my ex-friend who borrowed my truck and ran into a deer and still has not fixed my truck in over a year and a half.
• this administration; I don’t even see how his own Republicans could like him.
• the city council candidate who exploits my privacy by spamming me with text messages.
• the person who cut the catalytic converter off our church van.
• the city of Columbus and anyone who thinks that the Crump Theater should be torn down, the Crump is a historic staple in this community and needs to be brought back to life instead of being left empty to rot.
• grandparents who pick favorites, leaving confused kids heartbroken.
• those that don’t realize it takes a lot of unpaid volunteers to make an old movie theater a success, which the Artcraft in Franklin has, but it’s more doubtful that the Crump ever would.
• the columnist who is repeatedly spreading false doctrine.
• anyone who thinks a civil war is being supported by anyone other than people who believe the president can break the laws of the Constitution.
• anyone who thinks the president should be impeached — he’s done more than Obama ever did for this country.
