Can you imagine what those fuzzies would look & smell like after ONE day? EWWWWW!!!!

Princess

They were going to YOUR house because you weren't home. ;) Better go home & do a home inspection ........and take Cyic w/you.

But of course it's BIRD FLU! What else would an owl have? It comes & goes. (no pun intended)

Ah, now that you're back in the area, cynic, you can go visit Dr. Cole in her Hanover office and see if she has any old chairs in the basement!

Owlie... Sounds like others have been infected too... Maybe someone in your feathered family gave you the dreaded bird flu... Shouldn't it be over by now... I sure hope you are drinking plenty of fluids... Hopefully the worst is "behind" you, no pun intended! ;)

Wow, we were coming home from a party this evening and I was surprised to actually see people walking around town... We came through the square around 11:00 and I counted 8 people out and about... I didn't realize the town was hopping on a Saturday night! The Sheetz parking lot only had a few cars, but there were actual people walking around the square and on West King Street... Some guy was even walking his 2 dogs... I had to wonder where some of those people were going since nothing besides Sheetz was open... Maybe they were heading to Hunters Inn!

Owlie - I sincerely hope you feel better. Personally, I'd like to see toilets with armrests on them, like captain's chairs in a van...or is it captain's "can?" Maybe with a cup holder, too - wait - I've got an idea here -

a dentist's chair with the necessary modifications. Hmmm...could be the start of a new fad. And before you criticize me, remember those fuzzy toilet seat and tank covers, and the shag carpet that form fit the bottom of the commode.

re: /m7950

Wish I could laugh at that 'cause it's funny, but I'm so weak I can't. Everytime I think I feel better I get another reminder that it's still there. It's one nasty "strain". Hope this is it for the winter.

Thanks for your help.

Sweet Pea - I agree with your assumption about the way things work in MD. It would probably be in your best interest to contact one of the District Courts (in no way similar to the ones in MD) to have it set in for trial.

Read the letter again carefully...it may have been written to scare you into paying the fine, but they just can't force you to pay a fine without a day in court.

And, one more little ditty - only the State Police in PA can work radar. Local cops cannot use it because of the state's fear that they would turn it into a money making racket.

"Sweet Pea", if it was on Grandview Rd. it would not have been Hanover but Penn Twp. police who are notorious for aggressive, sometimes questionable, enforcement.

Has anyone ever dealt with the Hanover Police for a speeding ticket? My husband was going 35 in a 25 on Grandview Rd. on August 20. Yesterday a letter came saying they wanted the money for the ticket. Today a letter came and said there is a bench warrant for his arrest for failure to pay. This is crazy! Here in Maryland they send you a court date in the mail. My husband has a clean driving record. What's up with this?

Cap and Owlie -

RE: the dreaded bug.

I had it last weekend as well - worst Labor day I ever had. Hate to tell you, but it does last a while. Had another bout hit me late last night with vomiting and so forth. Up pretty much all night. This weekend looks no better than last weekend for me. Hope you both are backing out of it gracefully. Going back for the second round is worse than being in it for the first round.

I knew a guy that walked into a screen door and almost strained himself.

"Nite_Owl", I'm sure glad I didn't get the strain you have/had. The worst for me was last night. Felt a little better all through the day today. Still not normal but I think I'll go to the game tonite.
 Hope you're feeling back to normal by Sun.......the Steelers may need all the support they can get. The Ravens sure will. ;)

Cappy

I spent Labor Day with it & felt like I was in labor. Today is the first I've felt a bit better & able to leave the house.

Thanks and sorry "Nite_Owl", I felt something a little wrong coming on Wed. night and by last night.....uhggggg. If someone punched me in the lower stomach right now it would kill me.

Cappy

Way TOOOOO long. You got it too? I'm going into my second week. It sure is miserable. Didn't even know it was out there till it hit me.

 Does anyone know how long the stomach/intestinal virus that's been going around lasts?

Ravens end Boller's year, put QB on IR:
