    Railroad underpasses…. All between 7th ave & 8th ave….

    Personally I’d get off exit 6 or exit 15, exit 15 is a little farther I know, but more truck friendly for where you are going.

    Exit 6…. East bound: When you get off the exit it will roll around to the right and back under I-64. There will be 2 off ramps after you cross under the interstate. Just stay in the right lane and it will roll off and down to a stop sign (Martin Steel) will be on your right.

    Just ease out when traffic is clear and follow the 3 lane. You will cross a RR Track immediately and first stop light will be west 14th street. At that light you will see a large round grindstone on the right , and as you go through the light you will smell bread cooking most likely, that is the old Heiners Bakery on your left, been here a 100 years.

    Just stay straight on the 3 lane till you get to 1st street, make a right on 1st, go over to 7th ave and make a left on 7th, you will turn in to the right where you need to be.


    Exit 15…. East bound, as you roll off the exit it will split, Stay Left. At the light make a left turn, and just stay straight on it for about 3 miles roughly. You will come down to a light where you go 2 lanes left, or 1 lane right. Left is Route 60 or 3rd ave as we call it… right is Route 2 towards Point Pleasant.

    Go left (route 60 west) and just stay straight on it. At 20th street you will see WV Steel on your right. And you will pass by Marshall University. Stay in your 2 right lanes after 20th street…., they will split off to the right and down along the flood wall and under the 6th street bridge going into Ohio. There’s a dog leg in the road after you pass under the bridge. You will see Grainger’s on your right in the dog leg. Keep going and cross the RR track, little ways past the RR crossing you will be making a left turn on to 1st street.., you have the right of way here to turn left, oncoming traffic has a stop sign. After making your left just stay straight till 3rd light?? You’ll be making a left onto 7th ave…. City market be on your right after the turn….

    Up until about the 1930’s, it was not uncommon for people to get married in their mid to late 20’s. Long “engagement” was also quite common. Also not uncommon was women having children in their 30’s.

    Did not get married until my mid 30’s, wife is a bit younger. Been married 30 years.

    Lmao! Such a traitor I am haha! Just a little rebel on the run ;) Insurance wouldn't let my boss keep me. He tried to fight it, but with my not having the stupid two years experience... yeah. I'll come back to the dark side once again in the near future :)

    You have good days and bad. Me it’s the weekends when you are stuck sitting. You feel like you are wasting your life sitting in some filthy truckstop. Best thing I can do is keep my mind occupied. After 21 years it hasn’t got any better. Maybe even a bit worse. But, I’m good at my job and it’s provided a good life for the wife and kids. So here I sit.

    Copy that. I made the mistake of asking my new wife if all of "that" really needed go to our next duty assignment. My always sweet, cool, calm new wife, grew long fangs and claws and proceeded to tell me just how it was really going to be. I then proceeded to tell Mom about my concerns. She in turn told me my wife was not a pack rat and that she was very careful about the special items she added to the home. And I should never be that care less and one sighted again. (Ouch)

    Now through on going maturity I ask my wife if before we are reassinged again if she would like help with a yard sale. If she says no, I act accordingly. After all, Bee pointed out that the home was hers and the office mine.

    Update.
    Doctor is having a hard time maintaining her pain levels. She would prefer to not use the Oxy family or the morphine family. They decided if this change in drug didn't work through the night, they would revisit the above families of drugs. She is sheet white, rocking and sweating, I would say the pain relief is not relieving the pain.

    The lab tech pulled more blood work so when the doctor arrived (around 0715hrs) here he/they could see what the next plan of action needed to be.
    Her Army buds went to get "real" coffee, her quote but no oatmeal this morning as the idea of it made her ill. She did think that if @OLDSKOOLERnWV was doing bacon and eggs over medium on the flat iron, she might keep that down. (Does sound good!)

    Coffee and doctor have arrived. More latter
