This is a terrible idea and will not entice more people downtown but just cause more confusion and gridlock. I would rather hike the Sahara Desert barefoot than to set foot in downtown Orlando!<br \/>\nI\u2019m a foodie. I enjoy food, I cook regularly, host the holidays and participate on the food ministry at my church. I have shopped at Publix for more years than I can count. Publix usually has what I want and the people are very pleasant. However, shopping at Publix is no longer a pleasure. I shopped at Winn-Dixie yesterday and, boy, was it a pleasure. Unfortunately, I will no longer be shopping at Publix due to your decision to allow open carry of guns. I\u2019m not looking for a shootout in the cantaloupe corral. No, thank you. I will no longer shop at Publix. I have other choices and I can also save a little money while I shop elsewhere. Time to re-think your open carry decision.<br \/>\nTo all of you ticked off at Publix for allowing open carry of firearms: Why not complain to the state lawmakers who enacted this ridiculous law? Publix isn\u2019t the only venue where you will encounter people with their open carry.<\/p>\n<p>The flip side<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for printing \u201cRose is Rose\u201d in your daily funnies. \u00a0My spouse and I have been married more than 40 years. \u00a0We took a play from Rose and Jimbo\u2019s playbook and start each day with a long kiss and even a couple times more during the day. \u00a0It was forced at first but soon became natural. We sometimes giggle or hum during the kiss. \u00a0I can\u2019t say how our relationship is better, but it is, thanks to Jimbo and Rose\u2019s example.<\/p>\n<p>NEED TO VENT?: I\u2019m Ticked Off!
