    Hello Everybody,

    I need to keep this short because I am under some Dr’s orders to keep my stress way down right now. Trying to answer questions that I do not have answers to is a great way for me to get stressed.

    Here is the deal. I am in the hospital again. I was admitted through the ER on Thursday afternoon. I asked Jesse not to call anyone until we had more information. It appears I had what is known as a silent heart attack. We do not know exactly when, though I can guess. We do not know the extent of damage yet as I am still being evaluated. We think I may have been extremely lucky in that i recognized there was a problem in one of my morning runs and stopped at the 4 mile point than going my full 10 and thus was able to get back to the car where my phone was.

    It also appears that I have at least one blood clot in my left leg and possibly someplace else. They have started the clot buster drugs and already some of the pain has gone away. Again don’t know much more. I am in a serious amount of pain from a yet unknown reason and still have tests being run.

    I have asked Jesse to be the gatekeeper for information. Please go through him if you want more than I have posted here and let me concentrate on me.

    You can reach Jesse here on Facebook I am not answering my cell phone or listening to voice mail as my cell is also my work number. I do not want to get all worked up on anything right now.

    Love you all and I will get through this!

    This is an awesome idea. Wish I had thought of this when I lived up North.

    Most of you that know me, know I grew up on an island on the Jersey shore, 6 miles out, 18 miles long. In the winter it was kinda like living on Cheera, everybody knew you name and you knew theirs. I came home from work and put a pot of coffee on and wss thinking. Through any storm my mom had her coffee brewing and dad had his shots handy…it was a long time ago. All the plow guys, emergency plumbers, etc. knew this and would stop in to warm up.

    I got a feeling and went to my local WaWa. I told the manager about this and asked if I could buy a $25 gift card to be used for the road crews out during the storm in honor of my mom and dad. (They have a special $1 coffee any size) She said that is awesome, she would make sure to let the replacing manager know. All I asked was they used the card and say thank you from a neighbor. She asked my name and I said, just a neighbor.

    We were overheard and by the time I left wawa, 4 other people did the same. That equals 125 cups of coffee as a thank you. Sure they are paid OT, but they are out in the weather.

    I am not posting this for anyone to think I am all that special, cause I am not. I did want to give others the idea and maybe go top their local wawa and do the same.

    This is just another thing I was taught to do by a pair of awesome parents. I am still a bitch 🙂.

    Hey all! I am sharing this with friends except for two (on purpose). I know many people enjoy Nicole Crossland’s pictures of the pups and everything. I just found out there is a wedding shower coming up as she is getting married this Summer. Wish I had known earlier!

    Good morning all! It is 39 degrees here in Babson Park, FL and the backyard weather thingy says, “brrrrrr…..” Jesse actually broke down and turned the heat on last night so the dogs would not freeze 🙂 Anyways, everyone have a great day!

    Yup, time to give up for the evening. I just got a student email:

    “Hey Mr. Molnar, Hope you are doing well my love….just having a slight problem. With the new cloud system I am having a hard time getting into the site, the labs and the lectures. I must have forgotten the passwords and the usernames I have. I apologize in advance for this set-back! If there is any way possible you could re-set any usernames with passwords and shoot me the new ones in an email….that would be highly appreciated! Thank you greatly, ”

    So many things wrong with that email. My response?

    “Please contact your instructor in a professional manner and remember you are talking to a member of the faculty. They will be happy to open a bug with the required information and we will then reset your passwords. If you do not know why the email you sent me is unprofessional please ask your instructor.
    Have a great evening. -Dr. Molnar”

    Yeh, remind me to work extra hours to jump all over that one. Jennifer Frank did you send me one of your students?
