Pluggers by Rick McKee for August 27, 2016

Or for starting fires. Or protecting the table while I’m cleaning my pistols. Or making papier mache sculptures. Or doing crossword puzzles….

It’s only because Pluggers can’t operate a tv or a computer.

Both my husband & can operate computers & TV’s, but with the paper we can both read at the same time, just swap sections- & we don’t need 2 devices. Also, I just don’t like doing puzzles on the computer!

I save $175 a year by reading the news on line. Plus the readers comments are a plus to read. You can’t say the same with a newspaper.

so, all pluggers have birdcages?

Can’t afford the local paper, they charge more than I EVER made delivering it

In NYC, you can grab free newspapers from various street bins. Very useful when needing paper towels or dropcloths.

To everyone else I apologize to anyone I may have offended but I absolutely Hate Stupid Shallow People that think they are so much smarter than other people. We can all learn new things everyday if we would just open our minds, I hope to never stop learning new things. You-All Have a Great Day and Be Safe ! GSM2/E-5 Ballard " Space " USS Yorktown CG-48

I am a plugger ,but I went to newspapers online because the price doubled or tripled on the 3 I read ! And my toilet paper has more plys than the papers has pages some days !

Our local paper just repeats what I heard on the 11 O’clock news of the night before and only the local bits.

I think it is unfortunate newspapers as we knew them in the past are losing favor to other forms of communications. However, we should all be aware, most of us anyway, we no longer have to cut and stack wood to heat our homes, can shop in a variety of retail stores with a huge selection of food to place on our tables, and don’t need to light candles or kerosene lamps to read our favorite printed materials.

The world is changing, and although we can do without some changes, it is mostly for the better…

A plugger delivers the newspaper. You reading it does make you a hardworking person.

At my mother’s burial, I said that because of my mother, (may she rest in peace), I’m keeping four newspapers alive because she taught me the love of newspapers.

Always worked for me and my two parrots until they passed, one at 28 and the other at 55. But I’ve been reading newspapers, and now also news mags, since I was old enough to read, and back then we had morning and evening editions (city of 30,000). Ah, I miss those good old days, and Charlie and Peaches, my little family along with my two pups.
