Happy belated bday!

There is an exit that is 1 block west of Ashland that is a "to Ashland" exit.

He gives me the creeps.

If you can get to either I-290 or I-55, take it to Ashland and Ashland to 35th and then 35th east to the part. Not perfect, but it is what I take when I go from work (Rolling Meadows).

Looking forward to watching the game and then flipping over to Fox (or whatever station is showing it) to see the Taste fireworks.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jul 2, 2006 -> 01:58 AM) Ligue is a NASCAR fan who ran on the field and attacked the umpire one time. What the hell is that supposed to mean?! I am a NASCAR fan, does that make me white trash? Ligue isn't even good enough to be a hillwilliam.

I am and hoping to break free by 3.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jul 3, 2006 -> 11:40 AM) Unless the starting pitching begins to improve I don't like our chances of repeating. And lets face it, the Sox are not known to be a great 2nd half team in recent years. Even in their championship year they dropped off considerably in the 2nd half. I have got to agree with you. The starting pitching this year, seems to be extremely streaky for some reason or another.

I've all but given up on the fantasy racing. Still participating and using the history report at the top, but I still suck at it. Oh well. Glad JB and Kenny had decent runs, even though I missed the race.

Just got in from a wedding to see this - SUHWEET!!!!

That is horrible. RIP

The boy that died was 12, but his 7 year-old brother rode with him and his parents. RIP and thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Me three.

Reds beat the Skanks

I just got a call on my cell from 773-379-7858 and someone said I am going to die in 7 days they called back 4 times and I hung up on each of them. That's a cheery message.

Happy bday!

He used to carry the glucose tablets all the time, not sure why he switched over to hard candy. I know my mom has already placed a package in either his pocket or lunch bag that he carries with him. I am going on lunch to buy them a new meter - apparently their old one is not working well these days (my mom is diabetic, but takes pills for it). Thanks for your well wishes. He is okay now, but I think about him being so confused and alone and it freaks me out. I think now he will not think twice about calling someone when he gets the feeling again - apparently it has been happening quite often (never this bad) and didn't tell anyone.

This morning I was dreaming of watching the Canes play the first game of the Stanley Cup Finals and as the game ended, my dad walked in wearing a Canes jersey and eating a cup of ice cream. At the second I saw my dad in my dream I was awakened by the phone. It was my mom and I needed to go to Christ Hospital to get my dad. My dad is an insulin dependant diabetic. As he was leaving work (at about 1AM), he felt a little light-headed and ate a piece of candy which usually solves things. It didn't this time. As he got off the Orange Line at Pulaski, he felt worse but thought he could make it home. For some reason he passed home and ended up westbound on Southwest Highway in Hometown. Sgt Russell found my dad collapsed on the side of the road (only blocks from the hospital). The only word my dad was able to say was diabetic and apparently kept saying that over and over again (he didn't have his medic alert bracelet on last night). Sgt Russell called an ambulance and it turns out his blood sugar was 26. They got him to the hospital in a matter of minutes and his sugar dropped to 16. Talking with the doctor, had Sgt Russell not found my dad when he did, he would have died within the hour (at the most). We are at least sending a card to Sgt Russell to say thanks - I wanted to send something with it, but really do not know what to send. There has to be a God and I feel an afterlife as well because for my dad to hav gotten where he was and still have been found and yet still managed to say what he did when he was on this side of a diabetic coma as well as starting to have seizures, my dad's parents had to have been with him - I know they wouldn't have left him alone in his time of need.

Not to get into the argument of for or against the death penalty, but what about Bundy? He escaped to kill again.

You need spaces after and before the [ ] . That was me playign around in your post trying to decipher. I ended up copying and playing and that worked (adding the spaces).

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 01:28 AM) I know I'm in the minority here, but I almost always leave early and I have zero problem with it. I have my reasons (3:30 am wakeup for work during the week, have to leave early when I bring my kid, etc.), and I never feel like I "missed out" on anything. I enjoy the ballpark experience while I'm there, and I leave when I have to. I arrive "stupid early", as my friend puts it, so I can watch BP, have some food and chat with whoever comes to the game with me. I like the fact that so many people stuck around tonight, but chances are I wouldn't have been one of them. Sounds like my situation. I do what I can to stay the entire game, but if it is during the week, I really do need to leave by 10 as I generally have to drop someone off (mom, brother, etc) and need to be up by 5 (at the latest for work). Heck the only reason I am at home now is because I have an orthodontist appointment in about an hr. Joy! :rolly

Happy bday!

Woohoo!!! I finally had a moment to get on here post-game. That GS and game winning single were fantastic! GO SOX!!!

Strokes suck. RIP
