“Thumbs up, two thumbs up to the good Samaritan, who pulled over, with out hesitation to help me when my car broke down on Lowell Road this past Sunday and also for calling AAA and the Hudson PD. You have no idea how much I appreciate it. It was you and the four or five other people who pulled over to see if I needed help that has helped renew my faith in people. It was so refreshing to see that not everyone is out for themselves anymore. And another HUGE ‘thumbs up’ to Hudson PD Officer Lischinsky for being such a great help. The Hudson PD should be proud to have such wonderful Officer. You were very kind and patient.”
“Thumbs down to having senior events on
weekday afternoons. At 66 I would like to attend these events in Litchfield but still work full-time to pay the town taxes. I wonder how many others in town are feeling left out.”
“Thumbs down to the Hudson Selectmen for their abuse of power. I hope we vote all you out. The Constitution says ‘the Will Of The People’ so you even ignore this. The Code Inspector should know what he is doing or out he goes. If he makes a mistake, the people with the fence shouldn’t have to pay for it. Where are our State Reps. in this?”
“Thumbs up to Rachel and the rest of the Nottingham West Chorus! What an awesome job everyone did. “
“Thumbs down to all the people who came to
the show and would NOT keep quiet. Show some respect, these kids worked so hard!”
“Thumbs up...WAY
UP...for people born in May! Big ‘thumbs up’ especially for Hottey Pants Kitty and our little baby Giraffe, Flicker. You both have made my world a much more smiley, happy, place! Happy birthday to you both!”
“Thumbs down to Obamacare. The impact of the healthcare bill on Americans will be profound. First of all there is cost. Obama has raised next year’s deficit level to 3.2 trillion dollars. Interest alone on the debt is in the billions of dollars. Our national debt is now 13 trillion dollars. When you combine this with unfunded liability and social security, Medicare and Medicaid we are talking 100 trillion dollars of debt. We may be on the brink of losing our AAA rating. What would that mean? Higher interest payments. Stay tuned.”
“Thumbs down to the boy in our neighborhood riding his moped. The exhaust is so loud and annoying. This was a nice peaceful neighborhood not anymore!”
“Thumbs down. It’s nice to know that some New Hampshire companies care about the unemployed in the state of New Hampshire or the US since they hire people from out of the country to work the food stands. Since they won’t ask for overtime pay. But when my kids ask me to go there I’ll have to say sorry they gave the job
I could use to a foreigner so I can’t afford to take you there. So ‘thumbs down’ to them.”
“Thumbs up - to Brooklyn
my home town - and to all who come from that great place! A place where folks and families of many races, creeds, sizes, ages and ethnic backgrounds - work, sweat, laugh, love, mingle and live. Someone in Hudson needs to take a trip there to learn something about respecting and living with cultural differences. We come to Hudson to spread the word.”

“Thumbs down to the local Laundromat that’s too cheap to turn on its air conditioner even when its almost 90 outside and never refills their Pepsi machine. I guess you don’t care if your customers find another Laundromat that treats its customers right.”

incredible husband and going to school. Thank you for all you do!”
“Thumbs down to Hudson School administration changing February school vacation without notice. Guess either we will miss school or lose our planned vacation.”
