    Benefit T-Shirt sale at the Expo for Jack Berry!

    I just want to thank you all for your selflessness in assisting us. You have had me in tears a number of times. It is weird being on the receiving end, and difficult to ask. You have all just stepped up and made life so much better for us, with your caring and your deeds. I do not have...

    Expedite Expo The Buzz 1: Expedite Expo

    Sitting in my living room, vicariously joining you in Wilmington... all that reading about beer made me have to get one. So Jack and I are sharing a beer from a WI brewer, not Milwaukee's Worst! Really want the Tuborg my sister was drinking in Copenhagen yesterday but a little too far to go for...

    Jack Berry Needs our prayers

    Jack was 4F, cannot see without his glasses! First thing he puts on every day, before he even gets out of bed! Fortunately Jack is mobile, his legs are not affected, it is his speech (throat) and upper body weakness. When we need "stuff" we are fortunate in our location. We have ALS...

    HELP....Jack Berrys Van...

    I cannot begin to tell you what this effort means to Jack and me! We are stunned over the diagnosis and stunned yet again at the outpouring of support we are receiving from the expedite community. Thank you, Dennis, for coming up with this plan. And to Dwayne Ridgway and Express-1 for...

    Jack Berry Needs our prayers

    It is also available for the Barnes & Noble Color Nook. I have procrastinated on buying it (it is all of $2.99) but probably will now since I now will get to use the color nook instead of the b&w. I do not play games online however play Suduko on the nook a lot. BTW: the Color Nook was a...

    Jack Berry Needs our prayers

    Thank you to all for leaving a message. It is encouraging to read that he is not forgotten, just out of sight. We had more tests and doctors today, Jack had more needles poked into him. We passed on one blood test due to cost, saving our money for this afternoon's MRI (3rd one!). One...

    Jack Berry Needs our prayers

    Jack and I have had long discussions re: keeping this private or sharing it. Linda (and Bob) have shared some of that with us. We finally decided to just let all know as it is slowly seeping out thru people we have told. We have now seen a great number of doctors and Jack was hospitalized...

    Pay a good book forward...

    What a great idea! Keep the Kindle, I do not want it! I will keep my Nook and find a book or two or three to drop like that! ETA: though I probably will not be at Expo, doing some "parent sitting" while my sister and brother-in-law trave.

    a msg from gracie b

    interesting to come across this old thread about myself! Here I am nursing Jack again as he fell backwards on our basement stairs, sprained a foot (told at first broken bones but no...) and bruised his tush! That means I get to do all the up and down stuff at home, go in to both the shipper and...

    Obama Snubs Nation's Heros

    I just went to the American Legion site and Mr. Craig Roberts is a media representative for the American Legion. Interestingly, I tried various searches for ball, Salute the heros, heros, inaugaration, the only thing I got was the flag code and how important it is especially for inaugaration...

    when white will embrace what is right

    We, as a nation, have a legally elected new commander in chief and President. If you cannot even respect him enough to use his name, Dennie, I am certainly glad I never told you my "real" name! We have a representative democracy. Our President, and I am proud to call him MY President, was...

    Vote White!

    well said, Turtle! As the parent of three sons - 22, 21, 17, you have hit it exactly. And it is/will be a better world for their "blindness"! -- GracieB
