  1. The liberals among us may wish to use such examples to demonstrate 'overreach'. I served my country and my community. Everyone has the right to their opinion. Many have experiences on this topic where someone that couldn't control their selfish or addictive want (not need) for alcohol. It's very bad in this area. All I am saying, and have a right to say it, don't selfishly drive & take a loved one from a family. There isn't punishment enough for those that do.

  2. The three structures inside the yellow oval are on the roof of the Buffalo and Susquehanna's engine house. When in the engine house, locomotives were placed so that their smoke stacks were under those chimneys.

    I wish the area would get a Boscov's, or Kohls. The area really needs a nice department store.

  6. PA court have long held that driving, in PA, is a a privilege and not a right. Therefore driving is not protected by the same innocent until proven guilty standards as other things. A family friend refused to do any of the field sobriety tests and further refused a blood draw a few years back, and was very humbled when their license was suspended and treated as though they had a very high BAC. They will need an ignition device installed on their vehicle as part of reinstating the license. They probably would have been better off to roll the dice and submit to the testing as their BAC may not have been as high as they got whacked with as a result of the refusal. For the record, this person is a known alcoholic and prescription med abuser to those close to them. Most likely is using illegal substances as well. Refuses help and refuses there even is a problem. Trying to keep them from killing themselves, and/or another innocent person on the road isn't a bad thing.

    Real ID

    It has nothing to do with security. It is one more step in the process of creating the surveillance state. If it was about security it would not have been postponed for 10 + years. How many illegals that they have flown in and around the country do you think have a real ID? Or any ID at all for that matter. Not about security at all.

  8. What about a person who wears contact lenses? After a long day, your eyes get dried out, you’re driving with the heat on. Those with contacts know that struggle. You get blood shot eyes and boom probable cause for further testing.

  9. I would be worried about having to do those walking maneuvers. I consider myself pretty nimble but I would probably goof up the instructions they would give because I would be nervous. I no longer drink, so I'm not worried about getting in trouble there. I do wonder about how they set the legal limit. Everyone's body is different.

    I check in several times a week, though rarely post. I also check the two Facebook sites, DuBois Live and DuBois News, but never post. IMO, some of the argumentative types that used to populate GoDuBois, have moved to one or the other of those sites. Most of what is on those sites, is either pro/con of the DuBois-Sandy consolidation and/or the legal case against the former DuBois city manager. Again, IMO, both sites are just constant rehashing of what is. With GoDuBois, I think what is missed, is what Mr. D always brought to the table (up to the minute usable info!).

  11. And don't forget the legal fees. You will need an attorney to fight and said attorney gets paid (even if your found innocent) by you. So, in the end your innocence will cost a big chunk of change.

    This board was swamped by people who were just here for some scrapping and fun at other people's expense to kill time and to vent on nothing in particular. Steve cured it, but the players left. I wish more serious and thought-provoking subjects would be posted and then answered by intelligent answers. We need education on this board. So, teach!

    So you don't like Trump

    Young adults in this country have been under educated and over stimulated for decades. Whose fault is that? Who succumbed to the idea that God was the problem and decided that our kids shouldn't learn anything about Him. Gee, how's that working out? These kids can't think past whatever someone else feeds them, lies or not. How do they learn to research facts and think on their own when they've spent their lives being spoon fed fantasy? Parents, collect the phones and games. It's way past time to learn to read and apply facts to today's life.

  14. Go for it. Steve has endured my fingers for years. I got a couple of settle down messages from him years ago in the debate forum. I understood the polite warning. Back then the Liberals found a way to get under my skin once in a while. But everything I typed rings true today.

  17. Why does our area suck so bad with supporting businesses? This area used to be booming with business. Now nothing stays here. Because no one supports businesses. Michaels’ is closing the Dubois location. How many restaurants have come and gone shortly after because people didn’t continue to visit them. now it’s darn near impossible to even find a place to eat in town on Mondays and tuesdays because they are closed. I just wish people in our area supported businesses in town. Guess that’s what happens when everyone shops online now.

    Stores in this area

    We used to have a Bon Ton and it closed down. Unfortunately, not many people in this area shop at typical department stores. Everyone wants a "bargain" so they most likely frequent TJ Maxx or Ross. Both are very nice stores but very unpredictable on what you might find. I would love to have more department stores back in this area. When I shop, I like to look for a specific item and not search for something that "might work".

    What do you watch?

    Well, I will confess, I watch MeTv, FeTv and Antenna TV...I know, I am lame and boring. Nothing beats Andy Griffith, the Beverly Hillbillies and Hogan's Heroes. The old shows are refreshing to me. I won't subscribe to Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, etc. So, back to Green Acres for me!

  20. Went out to enjoy some sunlight today, lunch and a visit to the candy store. I noticed that Gardeners had a section of sugar free chocolates and asked to try one. It was a chocolate covered cherry and it was amazing. I would never have guessed it was sugar free. I got a small box and asked to try a couple of others. The Raspberry Jelly was also very good so I got a small box of them too. Tried the cream but it didn't pass the test. Now I have a stash that I can hit once a day for a goody! They were out of sponge candy also. That's my go-to at Christmas.

    Real ID

    I'm in favor of everyone showing an ID with a photo in order to vote. With all the nonsense in the last election something has to be done. A friend was visiting in Philadelphia and was asked if he was registered to vote, so they signed him up. Now this was at a Christian Rally for the Homeless. He was there working for the event. When I asked him about voting, he told me the story. I ran him over to Clearfield the next day, and sure enough they had registered him as a resident of Philadelphia. Luckily they got it straightened out but for the others who were homeless. they used the address of the church at which the event was held. Did anyone bother to check out this group? I'll bet they never even tried. Granted, there are some like the Amish who do not allow pictures to be taken, but they still have a home address to use.

  24. Entertainment today isn't meant to fill your heart or your head. It's meant to fill the pockets of the advertisers. I've been going to my office in the late evenings and turning on the radio which I never did before this winter. 99.7 or 88.5! The most beautiful Christmas music I have ever heard, and their standard music is amazing also. Now I'm hooked.

    Just an FYI about Michael’s, they are closing because the lease is up and the landlord wants to jack up the rent.

  27. Just invest it and live off of the income. Get an extra phone line and send the original to an answering service. Tell your kids and family to use it. It's kind of fun to plan even if it never happens because I don't buy lottery tickets!

    Just looking to see if anyone responds. Seems gone are the days when there were dozens of topics and hundreds of people responding and sharing their opinions good bad or indifferent. Have a safe and enjoyable New Years everyone (well to those who clicked the topic).

    Electric Outages

    Did you even bother to read the original message. There was no "crying" going on, just a common sense request about whether anyone knew if there is a source of information when there is an outage. If not, there should be. We who have lived here are aware of all you said, but it only takes one time for someone to be in the dark, actually and about information for there to be a tragedy. There's no big deal except those on here who like to create a situation instead of simply answering a simple question. Is there a source of information? Period.

    Maybe you are confused by my sense of humor or the way I try to be direct and to my point. A person can only discuss the truth for so long. I have always believed that our differences concerning religion is a point of contention with you.

    I think this area can support all 3, since all have their own niche. Joann’s has fabric, Hobby Lobby has home decor and Michael’s has all little of everything and all have their own brands. It’s not just DuBois and Sandy that go to shop at these stores. Clearfield, St Mary’s, Brookville… if they were not here, you would have to go to Indiana, State College, Altoona.

    So you don't like Trump

    Not sure why he picked that Ceo to murder. He actually had no links to United Healthcare. He was just a loon who wanted to kill some ceo who was in healthcare. All these women who are swooning and celebrating this crazy killer are just as unhinged as he is. I saw a clip of SNL with Colin Jost and Michael Che and when they mentioned the murderer all the woman cheered and oohed and awed. Sickening I am no fan of this Ceo but to be gunned down like he was well I know his family especially his two sons are most likely devastated especially so close to Christmas. It most likely was a sad Christmas for these two boys.
