Remember the dire predictions about those stupid, trailer-dwelling rednecks opening too soon? You know who you are. I suspect the result will be the same for we family-supporting "cowards" in Pennsylvania as it's been for the lesser humans in Georgia. We should always remember the party that thought us "cowards" for wanting to escape house arrest and feed our families. Reminds me of my great uncle being turned in to the Constabulary for stealing food to feed his younger brothers in Ireland. We always thought him more a hero than a coward.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-48503351036495516342020-05-13T13:20:53.052-04:002020-05-13T13:20:53.052-04:00When an individual displays an obsessive/compulsiv...When an individual displays an obsessive/compulsive behavior outside the norm it draws greater attention to their behavior. There is a mystery behind what makes someone behave as they are. We look for clues to an answer because it all seems illogical. Their repetitive thoughts are examined for any connections.<br /><br />In the case before us, a poster is supporting the policy of someone closely related to one political party. To many observers, the unnatural behavior seen from this poster actually hurts the poster’s cause. It ties the policy to a revolting act. Not a good look. Not at all helpful to anyone else representing that same political party.<br /><br />If this is all too confusing, I’ll be staying at the Holiday Inn Express tonight. We can talk.<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-9474250806459301032020-05-13T10:50:55.553-04:002020-05-13T10:50:55.553-04:00Bernie, Everyone here in the valley that is suppor...Bernie, Everyone here in the valley that is supporting/petitioning/demanding we get moved from phase RED to YELLOW should know that YELLOW really only helps our mom and pop retailers(which is a very good thing) but beyond that changes nothing. National retailers are remaining closed in the current YELLOW counties and everything else looks and feels like here. I was in YELLOW cos. Mon-Tues. That said, what should be of great concern to everyone is there is no criteria from Wolf to get from YELLOW to GREEN. While Wolf had us all so concerned about getting moved to YELLOW, we may be on YELLOW longer than on RED. He's stringing us along.

I believe the county initially sent $150,000 to the hospital.<br /><br />Either way, I don't think it's appropriate for taxpayers to be funneling money to struggling hospitals. If anything, county government should be demanding that the major hospitals step up testing on their own dime.<br /><br />The large hospitals (LVH and St. Luke's) and their related health networks are sitting on hundreds of millions of dollars and are already getting huge tax breaks at every level of government. Part of maintaining their non-profit status is supposed to be their charitable works. <br /><br />The days of counting the occasional screening clinic as their contribution - and politicians turning a blind eye to it - should be over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-13876639142301513932020-05-13T09:39:10.882-04:002020-05-13T09:39:10.882-04:00That troll got pissed yesterday bc I deleted him. ...That troll got pissed yesterday bc I deleted him.
