    Personal Quote
    About Me I am no longer on the southside of 50, I have crested the hill, reached the figurative summit, or anything else you'd like to say about it....I have turned 50 a couple of days ago. I have been Married twice;The second time around Has been great! I sort of Knew what to look for this time; Needless to say I am Happily Married for 11 years. I have two special needs children from my first marriage. They are Both Autistic...My daughter has Asperger's syndrome (we are pretty sure...no formal diagnoses yet but....)and My Son is severely autistic (doesn't talk and isn't potty trained) My daughter is very high functioning my son not so much. My wife and I love to travel and do so as much as we can....not being independently wealthy or retired limits us to once a year.....usually a cruise although if the price was right I think we would consider a land vacation.
    Music I like all types of Music except for opera and rap....although there are exceptions. Right now I am listening to Christian Rock; because it tends to not only relax me but makes me feel better when the Rat race gets to be too much! My other favorite is Classic rock!
    Movies The Last Movie I saw in a movie theatre was Ghostbusters! I am getting better with the advent of DVD's I've seen "Ray" "Mystic River".
    TV I usually watch News and Politics although I have succumbed to the Reality shows! I am almost over "American Idol" My Wife Likes the Dancing shows but my Favorite reality show is "The Biggest Loser" (since I am into Health,nutrition and working out)
    Books I usually read Medical based textbooks. The two books (fiction) that have really made an impact on me are "The Boomerang clue" by Agatha Christie and "Battle Circle" by Pierce Anthony
    Likes I Generally like My life!...from time to time it throws me a curve(but it's pretty good all in all)I like Pizza,Travel,using my computer,the medical field,and My dogs
    Dislikes Mosquitoes! (I live down south so guess why thats at the top of the list right now)Hypocrisy,and when my daughter isn't all she can be (I sound like an Army Commercial)My dislikes tend to generally follow what is going on in my life as my likes do ...but generally once the bad times pass I forget about them
    Hobbies Travel (cruising),working out,computer,chess, and crosswords
    Vices opinionated,drinking to excess while on vacation (thats why I cruise I don't have to drive anywhere)I tend to obscess on certain things that mean a great deal to me. I can also be quite the procrastinator
    Smoke No
    Drink Yes
    Virtues Patience, optimism, and what some people would consider my inner peace.
    Heroes Alexander Flemming (discovered penicillin). I also consider people that go the extra mile to help people a hero.
    My Profession Xray tech
    A Bit About My Job I was a mobile xray tech...got hurt on the job...now awaiting workers comp while i go to school for CT

    Happy thanksgiving all

Ellens day program....someone had the swine flu there, but she didn't get it....thought she might have but...... and a matter of fact they say they can't do anything unless the swine flu is diagnosed within the first 48 hours you have it (as far as anti-virals are concerned anyway) so there you have it not much but hey thats life

    Hi all...Thought I'd share these

    Monday, October 5, 2009, 08:35 AM EST [General]

    Well, I'm back although just for a moment...thought I would share these with you.....

    Zen Sarcasm, Part 1...

    1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone.

    2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.

    3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.

    4. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.

    5. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.

    6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

    7. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.

    8. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

    9. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

    10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

    11. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth

    SEE Y'ALL LATER,

    Andy

    Good Mornin' All!

    Wednesday, September 9, 2009, 08:40 AM EST [General]

    Hey, I'm just sittin' here at work waiting for the day to start...things have been very busy latley with 4 and 5 docs giving us patients (still nothing we can't handle tho)....For the first time we reached the goal of 100 exams for a workday (8-9 hour period, eventhough I get here at 8 am we usually don't start til 9:00...but sometimes, as soon as I walk in there is something) Things have been a bit hectic as you could imagine ...with work being work and the gym being the gym, family stuff I need to do...you see why I may not have been around as much as I had in the past.

    I hope all are doing well...and I'll see you around.....
