    No, we don't get the paper. My father does. He likes to sit outside and read while smoking his cigars. Yuck! And he is the most non computer literate person I know. When he needs something he'll have someone else look it up online for him.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    IT's bad enough that people sit on the pot and text!

    Richard, there ARE other things to read besides the newspaper.

    I kept the paper the day after Obama was elected into office. Other than that, I might have a few (less than 5) other papers. I don't buy the paper, read the paper (online or in print), or, really even watch the news. While that might make me seem unconcerned, or, less worldly, I really don't mind. I read enough other 'stuff' to make up for it. Plus, watching the news would take away my time watching "The NEW Family Fued" or "Reba". LOL.

    I read like I breathe.

    If it's on paper, I'll read it. I have a few books going, my racing rags and what ever comes across my lap.

    MOst of the time the news is on as a background-Gee, I just realized that I multitask!- noise generator. I also like the radio, talk radio and music!

    The most fun is getting up early, grabbing the paper and listening to the local talks shows discuss the stories in the background. having people think for me is most appealing!

    They are all vying for a piece of your mind. Be careful who you give it to!

    We get the weekend newspaper (local) and I like it mainly for the store coupons and to read up on what's on sale and to find out what news or crime may or may not have happened locally. I once read that a bank was robbed two miles from my house.

    I don't get the paper delivered, but I buy it a few times a week.
    I get a lot of news online, but really enjoy reading newspapers. They
    always have smaller stories & articles that you miss online. My favorite
    section is the funnies & advice columns. Always read them first.

    I don't ever save the papers, but I always check to see if I missed
    anything & then throw them away.

    we get 2 papers delivered each day. i do read 75% of the columbus dispatch and 60-80% of the new york times. i almost never the read the sports section and rarely the classifieds, but comics are first, then the advice columns, then the local stuff then the national and editorial pages. uncle pete, at the rainbow bridge, taught me to read by reading the detroit free press(then the morning) and the detroit news.(the evening paper then) comics to and with me. i'm reading the comics to helena now. when i moved into my adult life i took the local paper, and a national one if possible. a news junkie
    joyce who has princess peanut, spokesdog for the catpack, mojo, magic, kira and squirty, members of the catpack, angel duke, a good dog who is missed and angel alex the wonder dog, handsome prince.
