Wow, that takes a stainless steel set to do something like that. I just crossed that business off my list to ever buy something from. so nobody else hits his link, it is to an archery shop in Indiana. Draves. Was never on my list, but never will be now. The link I clicked on was from IL, so if there's more than one on there, that says all I need to know.

the ex called me this morning saying our son was very ill and wouldn't keep anything down, food or fluids, so I told her to bring him to the clinic immediately, ran out of class to meet them there, and he looks fine, he's happy to see me and plays with me while we wait, doc checks him out, says he has a cold..... nothing severe, just gave some tips on how to take care of it, and I added a couple she had forgotten. I'm so sick of her running to the clinic whenever he has a sniffle. and making it sound like the world is coming to an end. kids get sick, I know I did when I was his age, and I can count on one hand how many times I went to the clinic for an ailment. unless it was a broken bone or needed stitches, we didn't go (outside of check ups/shots). I needed stitches twice and had strep throat really bad 2 other times, my throat was bleeding and I had a high fever. sorry for the vent, just pissed me off this morning

Is that your first kid? We were like that a bit, or I was. We didn't go all the time, but called a lot. My MIL is a nurse, so we relied on her a lot.
With my son,(2nd kid), if he's still breathing, and councious, we don't go to the doc. He doesn't complain when he's sick either, so when he does, he usually means it. With my daughter, she always says shes sick when she doesn't want to do something.
I understand the rant though. Espically since you had to leave school to meet them.

he is the first for both of us, but I have a nephew and niece and have a lot of friends with kids, so I know how it is. I do get very concerned when he gets sick, because its hard on a 1 year old, but doesn't mean I'll take him to the clinic. in my opinion the doc is only needed if you can't remedy the problem at home. to her the doc is where you go if the kid is sick, regardless of what it is. different parenting I guess

On a different subject, 2 more days til early goose hunting in MN. Time for some Fajitas.
And I would highly recommend "the dangerous book for boys" my place is covered in snares and traps, and all kinds of things have yet to be discovered. We got that one and the Girls as well however my youngest daughter has hidden it away somewhere in her cave.

Well Cole's benefit is happening a little sooner than I thought. I guess the situation (financial) is a little worse than I thought. Anyway, here is the details:
The Benefit will be:

5 pm to 9 pm at Broadway Ballroom
Tickets can be purchased at Eko Backen Awards Plus - 1207 State Hwy 29 N - Alexandria MN - 320-763-3504 or Cullen's Home Center - 1620 N Nokomis - Alexandria MN - 320-762-1249 Donations can be sent to: Friends Helping Friends LLC PO Box 1218 Alexandria MN 56308
Silent Auction items can be dropped off at Cullen's Home Center
An organizational meeting will be held at Broadway Ballroom Wednesday, Sept 9 at 5 pm. Anyone wishing to help with the benefit should attend.
>>>>>I will be at the meeting and will be working to get donations. If you can donate, or know someone or a business that may donate, any and all help is appreciated. If you do have or get something, you can either send it to me (3004 Crestwood Drive, Alexandria MN 56308) or send it to the above address and let me know what it was you sent so I can track it for you. I also need to know to send out thank yous.
Yesterday he felt well enough to ride his trike down the hall a little bit. So that is a good sign. first day in awhile that he has felt good enough to do that.

Dont forget to stop at Wall Drug. I think they have a sign or two up if I remember correctly.

It was not my intention to quote you, but I was just giving my thought and I never intend to promote my link only.

I thought for sure there was ONE sign. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe you will just have to guess which exit it is. If you start thinking about it, say, around Sioux Falls, that should get you in the mood. Keep an eye peeled for that one sign though, it will help guide you in.

I don't mind being quoted archery, it just came across a bit odd as it was something I wrote way back when I started this thread. It just looked like an empty quote with no comment or question pertaining to the quote. it was a bit confusing, i don't think I was alone on wondering what it was all about. Berettaman, I'll watch for that one wall drug sign, I hope it's big enough to read from the road....

Dave,I hope you and the family have a great mini-vacation. The weather here is unseasonably cool.Loving it. If I disappear for a little while it's due to computer problems.

Ryan, that's great, you have no idea what a big deal that is. Awesome find!! When we get back from SD we'll have to plan a road trip so i can come down & visit, & pick up those bunks if it works out.

Make sure to check out the Corn Palace in Mitchell. Just drive around it to see the murals (Made out of corn). Do not bother to go inside. Almost forgot, there's a Cabelas there too.
