Never good to hear of a plant closing and people losing their jobs. Chef did they mention where the jobs are going?

Yea when you hear about plant closings that our industry serves, it meand another place that we won't be hauling to, so from that stand point, its not a good thing...as to where the production was going, the guy mentioned "St Louis", bit i think that plant was closed in the late 80's or early 90's....So i don't know...

As far as moving, I'll give Dispatch the day here, and if nothing, ill probably head to "Little Rock" later tonight around 19-2000 so to be there in the morning "wide eyed and bushy tailed" and ready to run... And yea, how often do you get to use the word "Arkadelphia" ....lol my 17 y/o daughter didn't believe there actually was a city with that name...:)

Well, my lil 8 month old twin granddaughter is doing much better this morning, and off the oxygen, and should be broken out of jail later today, or in the morning! So, it's time for me to go back to work! They still don't know exactly what caused it, but her lil lungs got inflamed, and the passages swelled up almost like asthma, but it lasted a longgggg time. They were giving her breathing treatments every hr or two, with constant oxygen, steroids, etc. Took 2 days of treatments to get it back close to normal. Said could have been caused by a virus, or something.. but no evidence of infection.. weird scary stuff. They said it happens to preemies sometimes (they were born 2 months early).. their systems have some catching up to do in the first year. Lil thing was soooo scared.. just breaks your heart when they don't understand why all this crap is hooked up to them, and they're crying, trying to pull it off. Don't care how tuff you think you are.

Your right Dale, it's very hard to see kids go through that stuff, with that said I'm glad to hear she is doing better.
