Everyone (who doesn’t work there) thinks that everyone at Delphi just goes out on sick leave anytime they want. I worked for 25 years before I ever used sick leave and when I didn’t use it, I got screwed. Read the rest of this entry »
Well, it’s still an interesting week. I rediscovered a soothing feel-good food from my childhood: milk toast.
It’s not on the suggested foods from the doctor, but I thought it was worth a try. I found it to be the perfect breakfast for those who have had throat surgery. Read the rest of this entry »
Well, it finally happened. I wrote in a Previous post about the pedestrian-unfriendly design of the Rite Aid drug store up the street from me.
Well, Rite Aid in it’s plan for world-domination, has purchased Eckards Drug and now, once again has a surplus of stores in Lockport. Read the rest of this entry »
