When you post a extremely long link it has no breaks so that the forum software cannot automatically wrap text to the next line. So what heppens is that the the whole thread doesn't wordwrap anymore and you wind up scrolling to read each line in each post. It's a royal pain in the neck. :mad: I protest such foolishness - especially among the otherwise bright people at WMB. <B>USE WWW.TINYURL.COM!</B> :-(

We floated our frozen fannies down the one of Florida's famous spring fed rivers while our topsides burned, and the next day I topped off my sunburn at the beach. It's really splotchy like I didn't get the sunblock on very well. :???: :-) We got to visit said son at two of his jobs. Yesterday we saw him working an awesome 50 ft. climbing wall as an instructor/belayer. And the day before that we attended one of his tutoring classes. I was impressed with his material and his presentation. This job is probably one of his best experiences during his past four years. Well that, and getting out on his own. He's doing well. I'm very pleased. :-( People who insist on bringing a campaign everywhere they go, despite protestation by their peers. :-)

Don't know if that is a rant because I can't use the riding lawn mower, or a rave because I have a riding lawn mower to use. Still trying to figure out how to get air to stay in that tire.

He has ALS and has been letting things slide. With no wife/kids he's used to managing his own stuff, but just can't anymore. The face of God was everywhere I looked - in his MD's who took the time to clip his toenails (an endocrinologist!) and the neurologist who spent more time talking to him about legal (get your will done; ask someone to be your POA for Medical Affairs) issues than medical ones, in the lawyer who was compassionate and understanding and willing to work hard to get things in place quickly, and in the many friends who's help he has thus far refused who to a person chorused "I have been so concerned about H.; whenever there is something I can do please let me know". It was a priviledge to be there being used to make connections and helping to close loops. If you're looking for a great community to retire in, Bowling Green is tops.
