Update: Called his family doctor and he called down and found out that they sent him back up to Conemaugh hospital. Got a number to call up there and talked to them. They are NOT happy that our local POS hospital did not inform us of his situation or even tell us they were sending him up to Conemaugh hospital. Conemaugh hospital is the best one around here so I'm happy that he is up there. Apparently it was NOT his heart this time. His Kidneys quit working and he was full of toxins which was making him sick as a dog and it causes heart fluctuations and severe pain rite across the rib cage (below the heart) and around the back. Not a good thing to happen after having a Heart attack only weeks before. They had him on 20 different pills wtf did they expect to happen? Luckily his liver and stuff is working the way they should. They pushed fluids and got his Kidneys restarted and started Kidney dialysis. They do not know at this time whether he will have to continue going in for future Kidney dialysis but they are saying that it looks like they might have caught it before any serious damage was done so there is a good chance that he will not have to have Kidney dialysis in the future. They say it was caused by his extremely low blood pressure from being clogged up and having the heart attack. Not enough blood flow to keep everything running the way it should. I have no idea why they did not test his Kidney function when he was up there before. Talked to the old grumpy bastage on the phone and he sounds like his normal every day self again. Actually he was in quite a pleasant mood. I think he likes it up there with all of the Hot nurses and all of the attention that he's getting. They have great food to. We ate in there cafeteria last time we was up and it was damn good food. Will update when I find out more. Thank you, you beautiful strapping ladies and gents for the prayers and kind works. You really have no idea how much it is helping. Yes even you @Mule you drunkin 7am pizza eating mofo HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MOTHERFUCKER!!!! lol

As soon as we say we "can't" do something, we're right......we can't. Because we've already shut our minds to the possibilities before we even entertain the what-if's or the how-to's. Instead of saying "I can't afford to go", why not change that to "How can I afford to go"? This will open your mind up to many ideas that you wouldn't ever think about as soon as you said "can't". And this little "trick" works for many situations in life. If XI Fest is something you'd like to attend but you think you can't because of finances, please read on: So, over the next week or so, I'm going to share some ideas and tips that you can use to plan on attending XI Fest this year, either Euro or USA, and these same ideas and tips can be applied to other things you'd like to plan, save for, and experience in the future. But, before you know the tips and tricks of saving for a specific event, you first have to know your budget. How much is this trip going to cost? Without knowing that, you won't have a clear idea of exactly how much you'll need to set aside. A trip budget, as for anything else, can help keep you from overspending, while making sure you get to do the things you really want to do. Before I go any further, I'll say this.....even if you're just thinking about going, not sure about going, or would really like to go but aren't sure how you'll get there financially, then I suggest you first ask to be added to the PM regarding all of the XI Fest details for the US Fest, or check out and follow the posts regarding the Euro Fest. Information is being provided and discussed regarding hotel costs, things to do, etc., so you can get a better idea of how much money you'll need. Then determine how you'll get there. Will you need to fly, drive, carpool with someone that's along your route so you can share travel expenses? At which hotel will you choose to stay? Or do you live close enough that you won't need lodging? Can you share a room with other XI members in order to save on the hotel bill? Those are your two largest costs, and should be determined as closely to their actual costs as possible when planning. Then you can figure out how much you'll need for food, activities, souvenirs, etc. Once you have this ballpark dollar amount, divide it by the number of months that are left until the XI Fest. The Euro Fest is a bit sooner than the US Fest, but it's still possible if you set your mind to it. If you need help with your budget, let me know. I also have a great trip budgeting calculator that I can share with you. So, for example, let's say you've determined you need $1,000 for your trip to XI Fest. With 5 months left until the US Fest in September, that comes out to $200 per month. That might sound like a lot, so break it down even further. There's 20 weeks left until the fest, so that's $50 a week or $7 a day. That seems more manageable and attainable when you break it down like that. That $7 a day could be foregoing your Starbucks fix, or not ordering pizza for the third time this week Little things can add up to a lot over time. Another great idea to consider once you know how much you will need to save is to open up a bank account specifically for your trip, or whatever else you are saving for. Make sure you tell your bank you don't want a debit card for the account. This will make it more difficult to "borrow" money from it in a moment of weakness. Faithfully put the money in each week or month, and don't skip a deposit and tell yourself you'll make it up the next time. We usually don't end up making it up for whatever reason, and then we're behind with our plan. Also, the physical act of moving or depositing the money into a vacation or special fund is a good mental exercise in keeping the funds separate from your general sources of money. Thanks for reading, and please stay tuned for other tips and ideas for saving for your trip or other specific goal that you may have

Sat through a retirement seminar Wednesday night (for the meal). Give us your money for ten years, then we'll pay you 4 per cent for life. If insurance regulations don't bend a little, I'll be working until the day I die just to cover that burden.

Happy Birthday, counting b-d's is still better than the alternative.

Old Timer Medal awarded. I have to wait until I am 66 before I can receive an old age pension. The b**tards have additionally ensured that I cannot receive the full sum by raising the qualifying period of employment from 30 to 35 years (after I f***in' retired!). I turned 60 last month but we don't even get a bus pass down here from the lousy Tory county council! Live long and prosper, John.
