Snail Mail: Send A Little Love
The summer before my sophomore year of high school, my family and I moved from northern New Jersey, to Indiana. Even though I grew up moving a lot, this was the first move that was really hard on me....

DIY Fabric Animal Decor
Our second bathroom is the kid's bathroom. When I first moved in to our house, the room had been painted a teal and dark pink color to match the fish-designed shower curtain. Personally, the color com...

The Advent Grinch
Yesterday was Christmas! It was a great day for the family, a great day of travel, and a great Christmas service at church. The sermon was fantastic - it always is in my eyes (my huz is the pastor, bu...

Letters from the past
When I realized last Friday it was the 25th anniversary of the day the Challenger blew up, it made me think of a letter I once received. Back when my husband Eric was in the U.S. Navy, he sent me ple...

Strange, Almost Sensical Spam
Some very weird spam is showing up in my inbox lately. One presents itself as being from a bank, but if a bank secretary was really that bad at proofreading, he would surely be taken out and shot fort...

Letter to the editor: Lawmakers should work in session; not play on Twitter
It has always been my understanding that the responsibility of a legislator during a floor session is to engage in debate and to discuss the policy vote at hand, not to Tweet or Facebook play-by-play updates.By By Rep. Al Carlson, Fargo , March 15, 2013
Letter to the editor: Lawmakers should not use Twitter while in session
I was surprised and disappointed that The Sun editorial staff would defend the use of Twitter on the floor of the House while it was in session.By By Ken Hall, Jamestown , March 14, 2013
Letter to the editor: True runners should skip the Runnin O’ the Green
Many years ago I received a Runnin O’ the Green race entry form in the mail. As a participant in local road races, I thought the route and timing obstacles seemed peculiar. I happened to see a fellow running farmer friend so I asked him about it.By By Dale Gallagher, Carrington , March 14, 2013
Letter to the editor: Senate ignores dangers of climage change to N.D.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 4024, which would direct “the Legislature to study the effects of climate change on this state” received a “do not pass” recommendation from the Senate Natural Resources Committee and defeated on a voice vote.By By Sharon Buhr, Valley City, N.D. , March 14, 2013
Letter to the editor: How will new gun laws affect people who ignore laws?
By By Gary E. Berube, Mandan, N.D. , March 13, 2013
Letter to the editor: Legislators disrespect wishes of N.D. voters
I have become increasingly concerned with the actions some of our legislators have shown this session in disrespecting the wishes of North Dakota voters. There are bills attempting to make voting in general more difficult, to make it harder for regular people to initiate measures on the ballot, and to undermine the laws that voters created in the past by initiated measure.By By Paula Thomsen, Valley City, N.D. , March 12, 2013
Letter to the editor: N.D. doesn’t need to cut its oil production taxes
I see where our illustrious Republican-controlled Senate approved a bill to lower production taxes for big oil. Who votes for these buffoons? Exxon’s profits in 2012 were $44.9 billion, just short of the world record, according to CNNMoney.By By Cory Christofferson, Hamar, N.D. , March 09, 2013
Letter to the editor: Legislature must enact real property tax relief now
It is time for the North Dakota Legislature to focus on property tax relief and reform. In light of the debate on the Measure 2 property tax elimination amendment on last June’s ballot, it is clear that North Dakotans want action on this issue. The time for the Legislature to act is now.By By Andy Peterson, Bismarck , March 08, 2013
Letter to the editor: Tax reform has been a priority of N.D. lawmakers
Meaningful and sustainable tax reform and relief have been the main focus for Republicans this legislative session. Currently, we sit at the legislative crossover which could effectively be considered halftime of the game. To date, the Republican-controlled House of Representatives has approved a historical $1 billion in income and property tax reductions.By By Rep. Craig Headland, Montpelier , March 07, 2013
Letter to the editor: Legislature has too much money at its disposal
I don’t know about the rest of you, but whenever there is a super majority in the North Dakota Legislature the atmosphere and basic philosophies go right down the toilet. Examples would be the House approval to buy a skiing lodge and speeding charges based on another state’s fines. In the Senate we seem to have an ongoing or continuing resolution just in case we have to buy out the higher ed chancellor. But it’s just with the funny money from the taxpayer.By By Leon L. Mallberg, Dickinson, N.D. , March 06, 2013
Letters to the editor: ‘Everyday Heroes’ make a difference to the Red Cross
March is Red Cross Month and the American Red Cross recognizes our “Everyday Heroes” who help their community by giving of themselves — the volunteers, blood donors, class takers and financial supporters who help us assist those in need.By Lyle Lere, Jamestown , March 04, 2013
Letter to the editor: People should have health care like Congress has
Amen to term limits. Thank you, Caroline Eli. Because, as I have written before, Congress works less than half a year, and of that time, only three hours a day is spent on the people’s business.By Hazel L. Scott, Jamestown , March 04, 2013
Letter to the editor: North Dakota lawmakers aren’t child friendly
I have been a resident of North Dakota all my life. For 60 years I have seen things that have thrilled me about our state, and I have seen things that disgust me. The anti-child legislation in the state houses is an example of the disgusting aspect of life in North Dakota.By By Germaine Erbele, LaMoure, N.D. , March 02, 2013
Letter to the editor: Girls hockey team second to none at state tournament
The Jamestown girls hockey team was second to none at the North Dakota State Hockey Tournament.By By Tim Riopelle, Grand Forks , March 02, 2013
Letter to the editor: Outlawing guns will leave only outlaws with them
When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns! And they will not register theirs!By By H. H. Haupt, Jamestown , March 02, 2013
