11/22/07 - It once again time to insult the newspaper founder who forgot to pay over 100 Property tax bills in Port Chester.
A half-wit gave you a piece of his mind, and you held on to it.
After meeting you, I've decided I am in favor of abortion in cases of incest.
All that you are you owe to your parents. Why don't you send them a penny and square the account?
Any friend of yours ... is a friend of yours.
Anyone who told you to be yourself couldn't have given you worse advice.
Are you brain-dead?
As an outsider, what do you think of the human race?
At least you are not obnoxious like so many other people - you are obnoxious in a different and worse way!
Believe me, I don't want to make a monkey out of you. Why should I take all the credit?
11/21/07 - Grandparents Care for Siblings Orphaned by Violence
“People probably think I can't do what I can do, but I can do any level of work.”
At an age when most people are thinking of retirement, Oscar Mayorga is concerned about how to find more work....
...Mr. Mayorga now works six days a week in a restaurant, but the money often does not stretch far enough. Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York, one of the organizations that receive support from The New York Times Neediest Cases Fund, has helped the Mayorgas with money toward the rent and sometimes for food.
Mrs. Mayorga worries that as her husband ages, he will find it harder to work. Social Security would not be enough to provide for everyone.
Mr. Mayorga insists that he is able to work, provided he can find employment. He said his greatest hope was for his grandchildren’s education.
“I don’t want them to work like I did. I want them to be professionals so someday they will be sitting at a desk in an office,” Mr. Mayorga said. “I hope that I am going to have enough time left in my life to see that.”
