The study, the longest-running of its kind, showed the rate of hospitalized cases dropped 41 percent in the three years after the ban of workplace smoking in Pueblo, Colo., took effect. There was no such drop in two neighboring areas, and researchers believe it&#39;s a clear sign the ban was responsible.<br /><br />The study suggests that secondhand smoke may be a terrible and under-recognized cause of heart attack deaths in this country, said one of its authors, Terry Pechacek of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<br /><br />At least eight earlier studies have linked smoking bans to decreased heart attacks, but none ran as long as three years. The new study looked at heart attack hospitalizations for three years following the July 1, 2003 enactment of Pueblo&#39;s ban, and found declines as great or greater than those in earlier research.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->','JoeyandDavid','JoeyandDavid','2009-01-01 02:15:53',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(341923,5137,1,18,336436,'2009-01-01 02:24:15',NULL,'','Pretty compelling study Joey.

When our oldest son got married, her family said they had no money to pay for a wedding, so the kids had resigned themselves to just having the youth pastor marry them in his office.  Greg said that his son would only have one wedding day, and it wasn&#39;t going to play out like that.  As they divorced after 6 yrs, I do hope that there will be another marriage someday.  But anyway, we talked to them about making it a more memorable ocassion and they decided that they wanted to get married in our backyard in June.  Since we were paying for everything, I practically had to pry out of her, what she wanted.  We had a gazebo built and decorated with wisteria and they were married inside it.  We also had some fountains put in, so I got a lot of my landscaping done, using the wedding for an excuse.  I got to do the whole thing as her mom wasn&#39;t interested and I really enjoyed it, especially not having any daughters of my own.  I took her to David&#39;s to buy the gown and veil and then we went and bought the shoes and the jewelry to go with it.  I got to help her pick out the wedding cake and flowers and everything.  It was a lot of fun for me.<br /><br />Kevin, If Jefferson County got it worse than us, I feel really bad for them.  Greg&#39;s truck sits outside because it is too big to fit in the garage and the wind forced so much crap thru the vents in it, that he spent the whole day cleaning the upholstery.  We actually live in Adams County, but the city and county of Broomfield starts across the street from us.<br /><br />Joey, the only place you can smoke here is in a cigar bar.

So New Year&#39;s day will find us at the dealership hanging out in our new &quot;home on wheels&quot;. We&#39;ll sleep over there tomorrow night and then on Friday they will give us a &quot;walk through&quot; and orientation before we take it to our special storage place.  Now Tony just wants to hit the road again and  I have to drive this big butt truck.<br /><br />Cheryl - I KNOW I am going to miss so much about the motor home, hope I can adjust to the 5er  <img src=\"http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/unsure.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":unsure:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"unsure.gif\" /> <br /><br />Hope everyone enjoys their New Year&#39;s Eve - HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL AND A HAPPY AND HEALTHY 2009.......

The kids were insisting on staying up til midnight but falling asleep watching TV so around 7:30 we set the timer on the microwave, counted down from ten, banged some pots and pans and had a champagne toast (ginger ale) and they happily went off to bed, thrilled that they stayed up til midnight and the New Year (or so they thought)<br /><br />Yesterday afternoon in a burst of energy I started putting away Christmas decorations but after about an hour remembered that Heather &amp; Cait will be coming up on Sunday so that was a good excuse to stop.   At any rate, Jim will be off next week to help so I left most of it right where it was.  <br /><br />Joey - have a wonderful day at the Rose Bowl game.     <br /><br />Jackie - congratulations on the new 5er.    I wish you and Tony many happy travels in it.    <br /><br />Cheryl - beautiful pictures of the butterfly exhibits.     I know Scotty had a fun time with you <br /><br />Falina - sounds like DD has the wedding plans well thought out.  <br /><br />Time to get moving and get some things done.   Time to rearrange the dust again which is the #1 reason I began putting things away yesterday - too much work moving everything around to dust under it.

How is everyone this morning.    I guess now the holidays are officially over.  Time to get things back to normal and begin planning where we will cruise to in 2009.<br /><br />Carmen ® - it&#39;s great to have you back with us.  That&#39;s what makes this such a great place to spend some time - no matter how long one is away, the welcome mat is always out and ready to welcome you back.    Thank you for the New Years poem.    I hope somehow things work out jobwise for you and most of all for the children that you help.<br /><br />Chris - looking forward to seeing your New Years pictures.  <br /><br />Jenn - I just love after Christmas sales.   I&#39;m always picking up some little decoration for the next year and have to quick hide it from Jim who says we already have far too many decorations for our little house.   <br /><br />Jackie - happy travels to you and Tony is your new travel home.    Can&#39;t wait to see you behind the wheel of the tow truck.    <br /><br />Gail - great to see you back on the dock.  I hope you will drop by often.<br /><br />Martha - spent the whole day yesterday working on my album and haven&#39;t put a dent into it yet.    This will be a work in progress for some time.    Sure brought back lots of laughs though.    Love the picture of Lee &amp; Jim scanning our Maitre&#39;d.     When you have a chance I could sure use all those names you so nicely got.<br /><br />Ed - When does Roe make her first trip to California?   Sending prayers that the treatments work well and without too many side effects.<br /><br />Carmen (M) - have you figured out all the bells and whistels on your new toy yet?    My son is always doing something with his<br /><br />Joey - you said the game was &quot;interesting&quot;   Was that good interesting or bad interesting?   I hope it was a good experience for you and you enjoyed it.     My sister-in-law called from Italy yesterday and was very upset they couldn&#39;t get the game over there - she is a major fan of USC and the Rose Bowl parade.   Said it was the first time she was homesick since they moved there in August.    She called to yell at me for not watching the game.   lol<br /><br />Steve - safe travels this weekend.   Sounds like you had a nice New Years Eve.   <br /><br />Falina - This will be a happy few months for you getting ready for DD&#39;s wedding.     <br /><br />Deb - glad your DS got to go out with some friends.  <br /><br />Cheryl - glad you got your tree down.   Do you play the piano?     I always thought I would like to get one &quot;in my old age&quot; (I played as a small child but gave it up when I discovered boys.)    Our tiny little house would need an extension added for one though.<br /><br />James - I guess the push is on to find a new home for you and Donna.   Good luck with the search.    I remember what a stressful time that was but you are smart leaving the actual move to the professionals.   <br /><br />Sue - hope you and Pappy have a great 2009 and you get to California to see your brother and your new niece.<br /><br />Tonia - what&#39;s cooking for the new year?     You are missed here.    <br /><br />Robert - Shaunna - you are in my thoughts and I miss hearing from you.    Hope all is well and you will be back with us soon.<br /><br />Time to get Jim up and moving, then it&#39;s off to the mall to see what final sales I can find.    My toaster oven is on it&#39;s last legs so I need to replace that soon.

There are so many small towns around us, so we just took off and visited a bunch of them.  Walked thru the small shops and just enjoyed the scenery and each other&#39;s company.

After Greg and I got married, my mom and stepdad decided to get rid of it and I said I didn&#39;t want it.  Boy, I sure wish I had it now.  They sold it because my mom had Parkinson&#39;s and really could not play anymore but then the dr. said it would be good for her to keep trying so they bought a used one, which I thought was really ugly.  After she died, I brought it home with me and a few years ago, I stripped it completely down to the bare wood and refinished it with a mahogany stain and recovered the bench and it looks so much better now.

Keep us up to date on how she is doing.<br /><br />Falina... you guys should think of an RV, there is NO way better to travel around the States and see all the sights than in an RV.  I just love having my OWN bed and goodies with me, a hotel room is so impersonal and even if it&#39;s 5 star it doesn&#39;t have the same comfort and amenities that I have.<br /><br />Kevin... we would love to go to Cody as well, we missed that area when we went to Yellowstone last year.<br /><br />James... sorry your stepson had to wait so long at the local hospital.  Yes at the ER here you can wait the same length of time, but most people have a family Dr too.<br /><br />MaryLou.... Luc is growing - 5lbs now&#33; He also has at least one time in a 24 hour period where he sleeps for about 3 hours, usually during the day.  He is still more awake at night.  He is also very hungry most of the time and guzzles down his feeds, which has led to him chocking on an occasion or two - this of course is so scary for Candice.  she has to watch that he doesn&#39;t overeat.  Apparently teeny tiny ones tend to do this.<br /><br />Sue... take care, hope you get over the pharyngitis soon.  I used to get it periodically when I was younger&#33;<br /><br /><br />','zebra','zebra','2009-01-04 17:42:14',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(342576,488,1,18,341974,'2009-01-04 17:59:47',NULL,'','Jackie - it&#39;s great to hear that little Luc is doing so well even though he is not sleeping.

We want to see both Cody and Cheyenne.  Went through there on your way to Missouri(went to Branson) twice.

It&#39;s a new week and Jim is off so I expect to get all the Christmas decorations taken down and put away.    I already finished the kitchen and the large bathroom so I&#39;m making progress.  He&#39;s taking me out for dinner tonight after all the cooking I have been doing lately so will have to decide where I want to go.<br /><br />Tuesday is SIL Michael&#39;s b&#39;day but we already celebrated over the weekend and they are going out next Saturday night so we will be babysitting.  Other than that, we expect a fairly quiet week.    We do have someone coming in to look at our kitchen and give us some ideas about remodeling.    I&#39;m just a bit nervous spending so much money right now but I promised to listed to him before we make any decisions.   I would definately love a new kitchen - just worried about the economy right now.   <br /><br />Time to get moving and get some things done before Jim gets up.    I&#39;ll be back later on.<br /><br />Have a great day.<br /><br />','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2009-01-05 11:55:18',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(342746,2611,1,18,341974,'2009-01-05 12:21:03',NULL,'','Mary Lou, you are up earlier than usual and I am up later than usual.

I can get busy and then completely overwhelmed.  First I&#39;d like to say I can&#39;t believe everyone who wrote and PM&#39;d me.  Thanks Kevin&#33;   Back online two seconds and you are already saying hi&#33;  I&#39;ve missed all of you sooo much&#33;&#33;&#33;  I can see where my friends are at least I hope.... as promised I will be explaining myself.<br /><br />I don&#39;t like going into too many details because I&#39;m a very private person.  I know some of you are laughing...hahahahaha  Shaunna private...yeah right&#33;  But yeah...I&#39;m going to go out on a limb here.  Honestly I thought things were going fine for me.  November and Thanksgiving went okay and then we went to visit my friends in Arizona.  That was indeed a HOOT&#33;  It went well.... I got back though and my daughter started playing mind games with me and I did exactly what I promised I wouldn&#39;t do...give in to the games.  I swear that&#39;s my new years resolution...to not give into her games.  But in all fairness it wasn&#39;t just her...she just made some things worse.<br /><br />Second let me say while this topic is bad or seems bad I just don&#39;t like to make a big deal out of it.  For those that know me they know I actually don&#39;t mind talking about it.  It doesn&#39;t make me feel worse but it seems to affect others more simply because they don&#39;t know what to say and I even lose friends so this is a great risk for me.  I won&#39;t talk a lot about it but I feel I it&#39;s safe to tell you now just so you know.  Just promise it won&#39;t change anything and I even do laugh at funeral jokes too okay????????  Don&#39;t change a thing okay?????<br /><br />Five years ago I lost my 15 y/o son.  He was my everything...literally.  It was a prescription drug overdose and Steve and I found him.  There I&#39;ve said it.  This Christmas my daughter managed to drive me darn near crazy.  It&#39;s been five years and I&#39;ve had four great or as great as can be expected Christmases so I guess it was just the year to lose it a little.  Steve and I are actually pretty good about it otherwise.   Yes, everyday is a challenge.  No doubt about it but I just want to be normal and I want you guys to not feel weird about it.  Something in my heart tells me you will understand it&#39;s just my dark secret and sometimes it may cause me to disappear for a while.   I lost my grandpa, then my dad, then my son...(it&#39;s a guy thing I guess).... until.....my daughter lost her second child, Lana who is Layla&#39;s little sister.    I was so excited to be a grandma again but I guess that was not meant to be.  She was only a couple of months old.  Sometimes life just isn&#39;t fair.  They claim it was sids.  <br /><br />Soooooo...... now you know.  Steve and I have turned over new leafs last year and taking our first cruise was sort of our new lease on life.  We hope to continue that.  Things are good with my daughter right now.  As dysfunctional as we are we are all just trying to get through life.  My daughter has caused us so much anguish though Steve left me back in May because he thought I was choosing her over him.  That was probably the lowest as I have ever been and that plays more of a part lately than losing so much of my family.  It was really really bad for me.  You think life can&#39;t get any worse and then it does.   It lasted a week... he came to his senses but the pain of it is still very real to me.  Anyway the cruise was a make up cruise... kind of like make up sex but maybe a little better I guess.  Some of you may debate that...hahahahaha   Hey..we are all employed and that is a good thing.  We are planning a Baja cruise in June, Alaska the following June and then we may take a year off of cruising to save up for the Panama Canal the year following.  Oh...yeah...we are hooked and our marriage is again solid.<br /><br />I&#39;ve missed everyone sooo much&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;  Special thanks to all who cared enough to PM and email me.... Who would have thought my bestest friends would be cruise crazies.  Please I hope none of what I said changes how you joke with me.  For those who lost neighbors and parents and I offered condolences you know now just how much I meant them.  There is though light at the end of the tunnel.  I just fell off the wagon.  <br /><br />Changing subjects....<br /><br />We have a new renter .... God help him but he knows our history...yep.. finally got that room rented out.  He&#39;s a real nice Christian fellow I have known for a while from work.  I think this will be a good thing.  Stephanie (DD) is actually good with it.  Layla comes over every two weeks to spend the night.  I don&#39;t get her daily since she moved in with her ex&#39;s mom who doesn&#39;t work.  Work is still crazy....Christmas was okay.  New Years was okay except I couldn&#39;t stay up until midnight.<br /><br />Oh..yes...the biggest news&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; We have added STONEYS to our casino night.  It&#39;s our new local cowboy pub or saloon ..whatever you want to call it.  It opened New Years Eve but Steve had to work so we got to go on night two.  They have two now in Las Vegas.  We had sooo much fun.  I keep thinking my son has just got to be happy his parents are living again....   hehe   Over the last year we finally decided it was okay to have fun again.    It&#39;s not easy but life does go on and I will see him again.  At least that&#39;s my belief.  <br /><br />Well...just wanted to pop in and explain myself for better or for worse.  I&#39;ve thought about everyone often.  I tried to catch up a little but I know I&#39;ve missed so much.

We have a lot a bad weather heading our way for later today into tomorrow - a little bit of everything is due so I&#39;ll run out to the grocery store for a few things and then come home and stay in til the weather clears.   I just hope our power stays on.   If I&#39;m MIA you&#39;ll know why.<br /><br />Shaunna - WELCOME BACK - we sure did miss you.     You have been through every parents worst nightmare not once but twice and hopefully better days are ahead for you although I know things will never be the same.   Remember we are here for you when you hit a bump in the road and need a shoulder to lean on.   I&#39;m glad you and Steve are doing better and hopefully your DD will be ready to accept some help and little Layla will bring some sunshine into your life.   <br /><br />Sue - Suellen is a very pretty name.   I thought I might be something really weird.    Thanks for telling us the story.<br /><br />Susan - hope you will stop back today and visit with us again.    We love meeting new members.<br /><br />Andrea - how is the packing going?   It won&#39;t be long now til you leave.    I&#39;m sure the girls are getting very excited.    I love Crazies new outfit.    <br /><br />Ed - happy to hear Roe had her first treatment.    Continuing to send prayers that all goes well and the treatments aren&#39;t too hard on her.<br /><br />Robert - glad to hear from you and happy to hear you finished up your case.   I&#39;m sure this whole case has taken a lot out of you both physically and more importantly emotionally.     Hope justice is swift and takes care of the *****.<br /><br />James - it&#39;s beginning to sound like your move to Nova Scotia has a dark cloud over it.   Hope you can get there soon and find just the perfect place for you &amp; Donna.   How is your stepson feeling?<br /><br />Falina - beautiful theme your DD selected for her wedding.   Our Deb had a silver &amp; white wedding - it was beautiful.<br /><br />Martha - hope you enjoyed your day off yesterday and got to do some things just for you.    <br /><br />Deb - I think all of us have a friend/relative who is just a tiny bit eccentric but we love them anyway.   lol  Our extended family seems to have had more than our share of them.    <br /><br />I guess I should get a start on the remaining decorations to go downstairs before Jim gets up again.   I&#39;m really glad to see my house getting put back in order and I&#39;m getting that &quot;lets repaint and redo itch&quot; so Jim is worried.

Next day he was back and I thought...WOW and of course went to church that week.  A week later he wanted to go on a vacation and hinted around a cruise and then I decided okay because I could choose.  I thought really WOW.  A week later I found you guys and my new home.  I thought really really WOW.  And that&#39;s my story and I&#39;m sticking with it&#33;<br /><br />I can say it&#39;s been strange having someone here living who isn&#39;t a child of mine...hahaha  Night one of the stranger in my house (okay not really a stranger but I like to call it that) has gone good.

Went to my first Weight Watchers meeting today.  Then I made a stop by JoAnn&#39;s fabrics and then took the painting to Hobby Lobby to be framed.  Greg had told me not to buy any more Christmas stuff because he wasn&#39;t going to haul it down to the basement and there was no where to put it if he did.  I saw the sign that Christmas was now 80% off, so I thought it would not hurt to just look.  I ended up spending &#036;120 in Christmas stuff, which means I bought &#036;600 worth of new decorations.  The trunk of my car is full, but I could not resist.  Even though I did not do it this year, I normally put up a western tree in the family room.  I use rope instead of garland and a tree skirt I made out of red bandanas.  It has all western style ornaments (little cowboy hats, boots, horses, etc).  I found western stockings on the clearance aisle today for &#036;2 each and then for &#036;3, they had stocking hangers that were made out of horseshoes, so I had to buy 6 of each.  I got a new tree skirt for the 12&#39; victorian tree - it was reg. &#036;100 and so I got it for &#036;20.  Gregory does his tree in all silver, so I did buy him several boxes of ornaments.  I am leaving it all in the trunk of my car until I can find places for it until next Christmas, so hopefully hubby won&#39;t know about it.  He will see that I used the debit card for it but he is so used to me spending lots of money at Hobby Lobby, that he probably won&#39;t even ask.<br /><br />Joey, great news.

I&#39;d give it a B+ overall.  It will be confusing to some because it was a very involved operation.

The name derived from the &quot;sooner clause&quot; of the Indian Appropriation Act, which stated that no one should be allowed to enter and occupy the land prior to the opening time and that such people would be denied rights to illegally claimed land. Sooners were often deputy marshals, land surveyors, railroad employees, and others who were able to legally enter the territory early to mark out choice pieces of land for themselves or others. <br />Some sooners crossed into the territory illegally at night and were originally called &quot;moonshiners&quot; because they entered &quot;by the light of the moon.&quot; These sooners would hide in ditches at night and suddenly appear to stake their claim after the land run started, hours ahead of legal settlers.','JoeyandDavid','JoeyandDavid','2009-01-09 05:51:19',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(343376,3642,1,18,341974,'2009-01-09 05:51:22',NULL,'','<!--quoteo(post=343351:date=Jan 8 2009, 08&#58;14 PM:name=JoeyandDavid)--><div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE (JoeyandDavid &#064; Jan 8 2009, 08&#58;14 PM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&amp;pid=343351\">&lt;strong&gt;QUOTE BELOW&lt;/strong&gt;</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotec--><!--quoteo(post=343343:date=Jan 8 2009, 04&#58;23 PM:name=Gregswife)--><div class=\'quotetop\'>QUOTE (Gregswife &#064; Jan 8 2009, 04&#58;23 PM) <a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&amp;pid=343343\">&lt;strong&gt;QUOTE BELOW&lt;/strong&gt;</div><div class=\'quotemain\'><!--quotec-->Sue, PM me your name so I can invite you to be my friend<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br />and i will steal it from her list...<br /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />lol<br /><br /><br /><br />Debbie  NEXT wednesday is suppose to be VERY cold BRR  grrr','lovelypinky','lovelypinky','2009-01-09 05:51:22',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(343382,5172,1,18,341974,'2009-01-09 05:57:58',NULL,'','While you guys are watching some silly ball game I am watching some real intertainment.  <!--sizeo:4--><span style=\"font-size:14pt;line-height:100%\"><!--/sizeo--><b>ELVIS </b><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->is all over the cable channels today.

Any big Crazie plans for the weekend?    <br /><br />Andrea - have a fantastic cruise.    We can&#39;t wait to hear all about it.<br /><br />Jenn sent me an e-mail last night.   She has been feeling under the weather but will be back with us soon.   Get well Jenn - we miss you.<br /><br />Ed - Happy to hear that Roe is back home for at least a nice long weekend.    Glad things are going well for her.<br /><br />Cheryl - you do point out an interesting fact about Jenn &amp; Kevin being missing at the same time.   hmm&#33;<br /><br />Shaunna - hope you had a good time at Casino night and don&#39;t have a headache today.     <br /><br />Falina - another day off for you?    Enjoy.  Hope the weather calms down for you soon.   <br /><br />Shari - good to hear that Marc is reaching the end of his treatments and is doing well.   Now you take care of yourself.<br /><br />Steve - it&#39;s nice that you got to see the new babies.    They were both quite large for being so early.   I hope Mom and babies are doing well and all will be home before long.<br /><br />Martha - did you finally get all the little kinks out of your new laptop?   They are so much fun to travel with.    You can save all types of cruise info on them - they might even do away with &quot;The Book&quot;   lol<br /><br />Sue - I sent you a FB request.    Chat with you soon.<br /><br />Jackie - one week of tax prep nearly behind you.    How are you doing being on your feet so much?  <br /><br />I&#39;ll have TJ beginning at noon and have to pick Ash up from the bus at 2:30 so another fairly long day with the kids.   Guess I&#39;d better get some things done before they arrive as TJ is going thru the &quot;sit with me&quot; phase.<br /><br />Make today special.','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2009-01-09 13:12:44',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(343398,5789,1,18,341974,'2009-01-09 13:19:49',NULL,'','Hi everyone hope you are all well, those winds sound really bad.

Now it looks like tomorrow might be iffy.    <br /><br />','cruisetarp','cruisetarp','2009-01-10 01:26:39',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(343525,2542,1,18,341974,'2009-01-10 03:00:46',NULL,'','Rose - so glad to have you back.

Then he and four others used a tarp to haul the 375-pound baby up a narrow stairway.<br /><br />Wildlife officers tracked down the calf&#39;s mother and sibling and trucked the reunited family to a spot near Mount Spokane and released them. </b>','coloradocruisers','coloradocruisers','2009-01-10 18:23:06',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(343621,2658,1,18,341974,'2009-01-10 18:27:31',NULL,'','Happy Saturday to one and all&#33; Brilliant, sunny day here but bitterly cold at minus 18 or 0 F It is my step- daughter&#39;s b&#39;day today.

When I married Greg, I started going to his church, which was an Assembly of God.  We moved to Texas when the kids were small, but they would go back to Oklahoma and go to camp with their cousins.  They went to kids camp at Tiger Mountain.  When they were teens, they would go to Turner Falls with them.','Gregswife','Gregswife','2009-01-10 23:34:52',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0),(343686,5172,1,18,341974,'2009-01-11 00:14:24',NULL,'','Made it town and back.  Wasn&#39;t as hard as I thought it might be.  Dennis is hunched over looking like man in his 80&#39;s.  I try not laugh but he looks so funny.  He used a step stool to walk with from the house to the pick up.  Not to bad getting in because he had the handle on the frame to pull himself into the cab.  He only got out once and that was when we went to the parts house because I had not a clue what to ask for. He did very well.  Home and in his chair with some beer to ease the pain.<br />Time for him to get to doctor so they can give medicine to help with the flare ups.<br /><br />Not much else going on with us.','cruisingcats','cruisingcats','2009-01-11 00:14:24',NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,-1,0,0,0,0,0,0);
