Yes, I am familiar with Montrose. There is a big Christian retreat conference center there, although I haven't been to it. We didn't get too far away from where we were staying during our year there, other than to visit my parents in Birdsboro. Sorry I can't give you more information about it. I was hoping maybe you had been to one of the conferences -- they are quite amazing, from what I hear.... One problem with The Endless Mountains area is the hydrofracking that has gone on -- scary.... and we think that may be why they have had a problem selling their home.... But, I'm just as happy -- keeps them closer to me for a while

Thanks Weezer, Unfortunately my favorite team is the Toronto Maple Leafs. Unfortunately because they had a great and surprising playoff run for the first time since 2004. They came back from 3-1 down in the series to tie the Boston Bruins. And then they had a 4-1 lead in the third period of the seventh game before they collapsed or the Bruins came back in the final ten minutes and overtime to win 5-4 in overtime. Otherwise it was a great season and I think it will make the Leafs a better team in the future. Other than that I like your Blackhawks and were impressed with their 4-1 win in the opening game of the second round vs Detroit. I also kind of like Pittsburgh, New York, Boston and Los Angeles. Hockey is my favorite sport to watch the playoffs because of sudden death and the unpredictability to win. We'll see what happens and thanks for your comment and I enjoy your pan on the Waltons Forum as well. Take care. WmFan Sportwriter

weezer29: I'm not much of a hockey fan, having been hit in the back of the head with a full, large cup of coke at MSG once!! However, I do have a story (of course!).... back in the mid 60's, I worked for a couple of months with a woman whose son was a Blackhawk -- Megaffin (sp?) -- ring a bell? I think his first name was Eddie....

Of course you can get soda or beer poured on you at a baseball, football or basketball game/sporting event as well Jeri Jet LOL. If you got hit in the head with a hockey puck or foul ball I'd understand, but thats your choice. Take care WmFan

Take care WmFan It was back in the days when folks "dressed" to go out to a sporting event.... bet I had a new outfit on, and probably spent a couple of hours with hair and makeup for what was a first date!! Good thing it happened late in the game.... Never had anything poured over me at baseball or football games.... hence, my aversion only to hockey!! The "shot" was intentional, 'tho not aimed at me.... I have always said that if I ever attend a hockey game again, I will only sit in the last row

I hear you Jeri Jet. That was a little before my time, but I've seen black and white footage or grainy color of when men wore suits and ties and women wore dresses like going to a play or musical. Now we all look like part of the team dressed in our colors lol. I understand how that makes a difference for you

Would have been nice to see them move up, but not all the way

It seems to happen when the Proboards server is running slow, for whatever reason. I think we tend to click "create post" more than once, trying to make it connect. Then when it does finally connect, all those extra posts show up. That has happened to me before, anyway.

Yes thanks Brenda. That has happened to me on other sites as well and we get frustrated when our post isn't going through so we press post several times, but the computer is slow and often actually posting it several times. hence the extra posts WmFan

In the middle of all of our duplications, I got one of those angry bear messages from ProBoards saying they were having trouble with the site..... so, let's blame it on them !!
