I still have a long journey to go before I reach my goal , at least one more year  then the fun of maintance starts

wish there where more local people active to talk to , I go to my surgeons support group monthly but always can use a push here a question aswker there , got most of this down but im still only 3 months out

time for an other great duck game , got shrimp to put on the bbq  and some veggies to roast .

I got my vsg at the Oregon Bariatric center at river bend  this July (2013)  and they are a coe , I im on ohp and they paid everything

 I was told they also  take Medicare Medicaid

they did a great job for me

most companies treat there workers like crap , but rooting for the ducks show community pride

 my son went to the u of O for 4 years and loved it there

 even though it is a state college it is still private ,not owned by the state , It would be great if some of the money going into sports would go into getting and keeping better teachers and paying a better wage , we really don't need all the new buildings they build every year , and all the new private dorms are a joke , the private owners should be paying the university a royalty that should go into academics , if they payed the teachers better they wouldd get better teachers and get more of the better students

 most workers are under payed in Oregon , it has one of the highest minimum wages but most jobs pay around the minimum
