I agree I hate this column, it is not funny at all. I am so sick of seeing it. It is in poor judgement.

There's a really easy fix here, Love25 and anyone else who "hates" the column: don't read it. Problem solved.

Thanks for keeping us informed via FB. I normally enjoy your posts. I have to tell you though that I am offended for God with "OMG". One person starts a fad, such as "OMG" and so many people feel the need to join in, just to become one of the crowd. We teach our children to be independent and to not follow the crowd and yet we adults do the very same thing. "OMG" actually means Oh, MY GOD. Are you aware that the Bible teaches us "Do not take the name of the Lord in vain" - one of the 10 commandments? I'm pretty sure I will be outvoted, but I'd like to encourage you to eliminate that phrase. It isn't even good grammar. Thanks for listening. Arlene Focht, gramma33@comcast.net

I agree with you Arlene. I think the OMG is in poor taste. I do like the articles as I find them funny.
