It was a physician owned hospital.  The story was on CNN.  A man had back surgery there, had some sort of bad reaction to the anesthesia and the wife herself had to do CPR.  The surgeon walked in and told her to call 911. 

The hospital has been shut down. 

  I live in an 890 sq foot rock house.  I am guessing at the sq foot actually.  It is close to 900 but not quite there.  It ihas 2 bedrooms, 1 bath.  Metal roof.  I live close to the schools.  I live 2 blocks from the local hospital.  I just applied for a job there in fact.  I worked 8 years for a big 300-bed multispeciality hospital that was 35 miles away.  I left because of the climbing gas prices and I thought I needed a break from the office politics.  I started working for an on-line transcription company and for some reason just cannot seem to produce the lines or make half the money I was making at the hospital.  I have been here 6 months already.   I applied to another company to try my luck there and they offered me a job but I read in the paper yetserday  this little hospital here is hiring.  They do light transcription, filing, I forget what else it said.   The best part is I will have benes.  As I was applying a nurse recognized me and was telling me about them and they have improved since I worked there 10 years ago.  I hope the pay has as well and I hope they still like me.  LOL. 

Just heard starting next year in Texas young girls are being ordered to get the new cervical cancer injection, just passed by the governor of the state so I am sure there will be a lot of talk about this.  

We live in Illinois.

He would be taking my youngest son with him also.  The total cost of the trip for the two of them would easily be $2000 since my DH does not get paid for taking time off work.  If he takes this trip that would mean no vacation for me or my other two kids next year since that's pretty much all we can afford is one vacation a year.  She is insisting her only brother (DH) be there at the actual ceremony which is on a Tuesday evening.  Then afterwards they plan on going out to dinner to celebrate - no party that would be it.

I would rather we go the following week, drive the entire family and stay the week and celebrate the whole week with them.  My son graduates high school in two years and I don't expect her to be at the ceremony for that.  We probably wouldn't have enough tickets for her anyway.

DH doesn't have the guts to tell her "No" since she's laying the guilt trip pretty thick. 

Do you think we are obligated to go to the ceremony?  She has more than enough family members that live over there that could attend (grandparents, aunts, uncles, her other children).

Thanks for any input. 

water for a long long ways and water is clean and beautiful. Can't remember the name, but it's about a 3-hour drive from San Antonio. I'll see if I can locate it. They go there all the time. nm
