Hi Mark, Just wanted to let you know that I am fortunate enough to have two friends expierincing their Beddian Birthday’s this year. Cathleen Fuhrman and Mickey Maas both born in 1957 and both turning 57 this year. I am turning the big 50 this year so the three of us are going to plan a huge Birthday event. This has been very interesting reading, I can’t wait to share it with them. Thank you. Mary Lichtenwalner

OK, I don’t think they go out and look for people, but the clients come to them. Anyway, it is totally beyond my comprehension how anyone could be homeless and live in Syracuse. I have been to places like Cairo, and of course India and even Phoenix where people can live on outside all the time…but Syracuse?? Seems impossible even after the explanation! Thanks, Mark!

Hi Mark–I was over at ksbeth’s blog and I thought I recognized your name–a fellow Syracusan! Read your post on Tyler and Pearl–nice. If you have a second, please take a look at my humor blog and the SU Basketball: Cardiac Alert! piece. Thanks. Also, do you know of any wordpress support groups in the area? It would be great to get together and help each other once in awhile.
Stay warm, too bad about the game tonight, but better than a loss to Duke, in my opinion. I think it was the throwback uniforms that did it. Enjoy the heat wave! 😉

Well, hello my fellow Syracusan. You’re on good turf over there on Beth’s blog.
I don’t know of a specific WordPress group, but I am a member of an outfit that goes by he name of CNY Bloggers. You can find a group page on Facebook. It’s run by Renee Benda, who runs a fitness blog.
I will head over to your blog to read the SU humor piece now. Tonight was a bad loss. BC is not good. I think the Orange will lose to Duke on Saturday now that the bubble has burst.

I’ve seen this on several others’ post these past two days, too, Kim. The best I can figure, it’s happening on shorter posts only, when there isn’t a “xxx more words” to click on in the reader to see the whole post. My guess. You can google “WordPress Reader” and see if anybody else is talking about it on a WP troubleshooting forum. Let me know.
