The county web-site board seems to have held my last two messages for about 36 hrs (Cynthia did say it was down) My e-mail about John is the hospital was sent by me Thursday morning around 6 a.m., but my computer received it this morning (Saturday) at 1:31 a.m. while I was fast asleep. The message about my poor folks of Hopewell was sent Thursday night at 9:28 p.m. and received by my computer at 5:08 a.m. this morning (Saturday). If John had been a nice guy, he would have stayed in the hospital a couple of more days and I would have visited him today. I was working 12 hrs days Thursday & Friday. My arthritis is telling it and I slept until 9 a.m. this morning. I did e-mail directly to many of our group pictures of my son receiving his diploma for graduating from the NCO Academy in Okinawa where he is stationed. I only received the picture via e-mail yesterday. Isn't technology today great. It is the only picture I have ever seen of him (since boot camp) 16 yrs ago) in his Class A (dress) uniform. Glad you are ok John and stay away from that Z-Pak in the future. Zithromax is what we use to call a "mycin" but in modern times the medical profession calls the "macrolide" groups which include the original macrolide, Erythromycin. As Bonnie said about the Z-Pak, (Zithromax Pak), it is very good medicine and we fill prescriptions for it many times a day, but some people are allergic. You must be one of the lucky ones.
