Your right Jim there is a large United Baptist church in Woodstock, N.B. but we decided to go back to the little country church,which is also united baptist,just up the road from home.I got saved there in 1971 but left 10 yrs later wanting to be part of a larger work. 23 yrs later, with that out of our system, we're back where we started.

I survived today - still have tomorrow!

Dr. Bob, have you had a bad experience with OSHA?

Of course OSHA doesn't control state workers - we have PESH to do that!

Dan - OSHAed and PESHed to death!

Occupational Safety and Health Administration - the bunch that make some of the most inane rules that frustrate employers to death.

Example: We have a clinic. Our Office Manager does 90% of her work at a desk/phone. But she helps mail out some small packages (we use post office priority boxes and tape.

OSHA requires guidelines for her work, special insurance we pay (she occasionally ships so they assume she is using box cutters, etc), work space, protective eye/ear, etc etc It is horrible.

Under the G W Bush administration - OSHA is supposed to be friendlier!

Since they don't personally bother me - I cannot be a judge of that statement!

Dan - listening and learning!

I thought we were the only ones who had foolish laws or rules.

The building safety decided here that all construction workers must wear safety boots. After a few roofers fell off the roofs because of those so-called safety boots, they changed their minds and allowed roofers to return to wearing running shoes. Running shoes are shingle friendly and give the roofer a safe grip on the roof.

The sad part is that some sod sitting in an office writes these rules. They should get off their duffs and go on site and DO a little work.

Cheers,

Jim

Kinda like the pope and bishops of the Catholic Church telling couples they can't use birth control!

Sometimes the bureaucrats who make the rules ought to be forced to live by them for a little while!

Poor Dr. Bob,

Dan - now that is probably a tall tall order!

Got a stepladder (which I no longer climb, thank you) and on the top is a fold-out pain tray/can holder. You all know what that is.

On it in 60 point print is "THIS IS NOT A STEP". Like I'm so old I'm climbing up the wrong side of the ladder and wow! glad to finally find a step!

Or climbed the other side up to the top and gonna climb down the other.

Under it #54L58910 OSHA is listed. Probably 25 pages on how to put that notice on step-ladders!

OSHA does have some stupid rules, however, if they had visited the factory where my hubby works a week earlier than they did, hubby might still have a 'whole' left hand instead of 2 fingers and a thumb. :eek:

Do you know how many people climb up the wrong side of a step ladder - or stand on the top of a step ladder?

Unfortunately - sometimes you just have to protect people from their own stupidity!

Dan - spent 16 years running a safety program - so I speak from experience!

With all my health problems, I put that on the back burner. Thanks for asking (and reminding me). Much of my time is working at the clinic with the wife as her practice is growing out of control!

Problem is so much of the "on line" education is really glorified Sunday School. I want seminary level instruction for serious students.

Thanks for replying - I don't know if I would even have the energy to try taking classes!

Dan - tired an awful lot!
