“West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources is aware of our program and is able to refer patrons to us for assistance,” said Program Director Brenda Dane, who also said patients should feel free to call them directly.
According to Dane, the primary goal of WVRx is to improve the health status of Wes

Curbs are still high!
Mon, December 1, 2008 @ 5:10PM
The Penco Road curbs are still too high, if anyone who can change this actually cares. The lanes are narrow and the curbs are high, which can produce accidents, I'm sure, as elderly and novice drivers make their way down the roadway and perhaps go a little off course. I just don't want to be the one traveling in the opposite direction when that happens; but, unfortunately, someone will be there and, much to their shock and horror, may be involved in a collision, if not a head-on one. The turning lane is a great idea, but the area still needs to be upgraded, I think, in order for it to be safe, because drivers are forced to employ extreme caution on Penco while driving in the far right-hand lanes. Time will tell, though, and I hope I am very wrong in my thoughts about this situation. What say you?

XM, No Static At All
Fri, September 5, 2008 @ 1:10PM
It's back. It's in my car. And I can't get enough of it. It's my XM Radio, which I haven't used in my car for nearly a year. It used to have a home in Norman Thunderbaum, my former Thunderbird, but I never could bring myself to mount it in The Enrico Cruiser, my late father's PT. I guess it was OK to put glue on my brother's old T-Bird's dash, but not on my dad's car. But now, thanks to the discovery of an industrial suction-cup mounting thing and the help of my son, The Drummer, who knows how to hide wiring, my XM is back on the road. Just in time to listen to the POTUS all-president, all-the-time channel during the conventions. Steely Dan may have sung "FM" with the lyric "no static at all," but I like to think of the modern version as "XM, no junk I don't want to hear at all." Ahhh. And merging with Sirius can only give me a bunch more selections, right? Or will it simply require more equipment purchases?

New Year - New Plan
Mon, January 5, 2009 @ 8:32AM
Every New Year people from around the world say they are going to lose weight, stop smoking, stop this, start doing more of that, yada yada yada. I never do that. I plan to work out more in 2009. It is not a New Years Resolution, it is a fact. I planned on working out more in 2008 but my gym membership ran up and various home upgrades or fixes along with other things tied up all my money. Recent Christmas money has put me in a better position to renew my membership. I also have extra motivation to get my body right for my honeymoon this year. I don' t want a big gut in all my beach pictures ya know. I think if you need a new year to change something in your life then you really don't want change that something or you are all talk and will not change that something. If you have decided that you need to stop smoking then why not start tomorrow? If you decided you are going to be nicer to the homeless when they ask for money then why not start tomorrow? If you have to wait

The Penguins Troubles and a Pitt Weekend
Tue, January 6, 2009 @ 8:50AM
The Pens are in need of a win, and they need to do it tonight against the Atlanta Trashers. Not even halfway through the season and it's desperation time to pull off a good 8-2 run in the next 10 games. Crosby needs to step up his game, Fleury needs to sharpen his game - not letting in soft goals, and Therrien should consider finding a way to get around the trap. The 4-0 loss to the Raggers wasn't as much a problem as the loss to Florida, as King Henry was impressive in the Rangers net as he always is. The Pens need to turn this around, and I think a little noise to start the game at home would do some great confidence boosting. Get that first goal and the floodgates should open immediately. Especially against Atlanta, lose tonight and expect some MAJOR changes. Imagine the disappointment, 2 wins from the Cup and in danger of not only missing the playoffs but finishing last. The only good thing to come from this weekend, was watching Brad Pitt movies. From Mr. & Mrs. Smith to B

Not Killing My Husband for Christmas
Mon, December 15, 2008 @ 4:59PM
I didn't do it, and I'm proud of myself, because he was really pushing it. First, it was the Christmas tree. He has to argue with me over the lights every single year. (Commercial interruption: Sierra wanted to be in this blog. Now she is. That is all.) Anyway, he always complains that I want too many lights on the tree. He's always accusing me of trying to burn down the house. My argument: 1) They are flippin' Christmas tree lights. They aren't burning anything down. 2) Four strands of Christmas lights aren't dangerous. Really, they are not deadly weapons or anything, I promise. 3) Maybe burning down the house would be okay; we'd get the insurance money and we wouldn't have to replace the windows. 4) ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Then, he made fun of our Christmas tree ornaments. Okay, some are old, some are brokenish and some are handmade, but they all have stories behind them. He had to make a point of throwing away one this
