GREAT news, we received a phone call from Children's Hospital telling us that the tests show that my son does not have cyliac disease. This is GREAT. Waiting for the test results wasn't fun but, in the end, we are very glad to have received the news that we did. A host of other tests were ran at the same time and all looks good. Of course, we still ( Read more... )

Just returned from Pittsburgh's Children's Hospital where my son's visit went well, for the most part. The normal things that he goes through during his appointment all went well. His Hbac1 # was 7.9. The clinical average for children his age is 8.0. The lower the number, the better. The bad news is that he grew two inches and lost two pounds. He ( Read more... )

As mentioned in a previous posting, I am trying to make some extra money by walking around DuBois hanging ads/coupons on doors. I have hung several thousand over the last couple of weeks. It amazes me the things that I see during my travels. I still don't understand why people leave a pair of shoes on their front porch. Am I missing something here

At her main job, she (and many others)are working without a contract and have been for a couple of years. It looks like it is strike time. That will cause a great deal of problems. My wife is covered by the ( Read more... )

So, I just picked my son up from work (around 9:30PM, well after dark) and was driving home. About 100 feet from my driveway, a car approached, driving in the opposite direction as I. This dude didn't have ANY lights on. As he got closer to me, he turned his lights (high beams) on. He turned them back off as he was next to me. I turned around and ( Read more... )

Didn't go well, just as I had expected. I guess that I will have to empty my office soon. Man, that sucks. When I look back on the good times and experiences that I had at this job, I am sad.
