“I think it’s ridiculous that my cellphone company charges a lot if you go over your minutes, but most months I don’t use even half, and you lose them. I have to tell people I can’t talk until after 7. I hate that. You never know when an emergency’s going to come up, and you’ve run out of minutes.”
— Hagerstown
“Mail Call is such a waste of good space in The Herald-Mail. Mail Call has so much negativity in the reading of it; lots of arguing, bickering, name calling, and at times just plain mean, especially when ... politics and religion enter in. Mail Call reminds of those hateful housewives’ show on TV that need to go. No longer reading Mail Call, skipping you. Who needs to wake up to a cloudy day everyday? We get enough bad news every day, just by opening our newspaper. Who needs to go looking for it? Good-bye, Mail Call. Won’t miss you.”
— Clear Spring
“This is for the Hagerstown caller who is voting for Roscoe Bartlett because they don’t know John Delaney. Well, this is what is going on in our elections today. Most of the people voting don’t have a clue who they’re voting for or what they stand for. They see a name they recognize, and they mark it. Or if they don’t recognize any of them, they just mark any name, for county commissioners and city council.”

“I would like to know when the police are going to start enforcing the cellphone usage while you’re driving. They are, they just, they’re so brave about it, they don’t care. They’re just using it and they don’t even try to hide it. I’ve seen them I don’t know how many times, and you know, I think it’s, if they pass a law, you know, then we should take their license numbers down and report them to the police, and let them get a ticket.”

“Had to call in because it was so funny. Monday, Mail Call, 5,000 atheists, hundreds of thousands of Christians in America. What about the (300) million others who she forgot about? We live in America, too. Whatever happened to economics and civics?”
— Hagerstown
“I would like to know when the city of Hagerstown is going to repair its streets. Burhans Boulevard, from Salem Avenue to Antietam Street, is a disgrace. They have money for everything else, like a stadium, but they don’t have money to repair the streets. Come on, Mr. Mayor, get out there and look at the streets, and get them repaired.”
— Williamsport
“I hope the individual who called in about the rental property on Fairview Mountain is satisfied. It’s a shame that they were a coward and not able to tell me face-to-face. If they did not like the tall grass, they should have mowed it, perhaps.”
— Big Pool
“Jeanne Singer and Dr. Mitesh Kothari made a very good proposal, that the county start paying the tuition of Washington County graduates, to Hagerstown Community College. In the future, one will not get a good job without a good education. We are at a critical point in the future of Washington County. We can either forge ahead, or become a backwater community.”
— Halfway
“Thank you for a great event at City Park. The Bark in the Park event was wonderful. Lots of great people, lots of great dogs. I encourage you to do it again and again.”
— Hagerstown
“The name of the sculptor who made the bronze statue of Cal Ripken Jr. for the Orioles Hall of Fame is Toby Mendez.”
— Boonsboro
“There are millions of atheists in the U.S., and to be sure, many millions of Christians. Not giving atheists a voice is called tyranny; tyranny by the majority. That is exactly why we have the Bill of Rights, to protect individual rights, such as the First Amendment, to choose or not choose a religion. Seventy-five percent of the peoples of the world do not celebrate Christmas. It is a Christian holiday.”
