Birthdays: A mini-daily newspaper in itself If we counted correctly there are 34 entries in today's CM Birthdays, Anniversaries, and In Memory Birthdays. The feature is one of the most read sections of CM, something of a mini Daily Newspaper in and of itself. We can still add entries, in case we've missed. Though this is an incredibly busy day at the magazine - Sundays with CM are always big - and this is the end of the month with a lot of cutering and tinkering to do, we'll do our best to add any birthdays not now listed. And remember, tonight at midnight, the set of birthdays will be for October-November, and we'll be taking entries for those months, then. Today, we'll be posting only for September-October. Use any Contact/Submit button to submit. For these celebrations, it is simplest for us if each submission is sent as a separate email. This aids us in sending a confirmation email. Currently all events are scheduled to recur each year, as posted, until we are notified otherwise. - ED WAGGENER, 270-250-2730. edwaggener@gmail.com 2012-09-30 09:33:58 | Comments | Printable version

Ten women each eligible for a senior discount coffee at McDonald's whether willing to admit it or not. Although the number changes from year to year, depending on each person's situation, the core group seldom varies. For the last 35 years, we ladies have managed to carve out a few days or an entire week for a vacation once a year whether to the beach, to the city, or a cruise. We leave behind husbands, kids, grandkids, jobs, and, hopefully, our worries. This year we took a cruise because one of the women found a really good deal. We are all about good deals!

Hear this! / Rick Stull By Chuck Hinman In the depression days of the 1930's, towns large enough to have a business district had a dime store.

In those days, dime stores came under the names Ben Franklin, Kresge, Woolworth, H. L. Green, Hested, Grants and many others. They were on the order of modern day Dollar General Stores but much classier. Quite often, they boasted a very popular lunch counter.
