Re: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!, by tracydee

Hi Everyone!
I agree with Adriana, this has been quite a year for us, but one of the best things that happened to us, besides being given our precious angel, is getting to know all of you! Thank you all for your friendship and support!

WE LOVE YOU!!!

Tracy, Robert and Abby Pena

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!, by alogreen70

I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a even happier New Year. This has been quite a year for us and we look forward to what 2009 has to bring us. Every day the Lord gives us is a gift and I hope everyone else out there feels the same. We are blessed to have angels in our lives. I'm excited for Allison's 2nd Christmas as this year I'm sure she will be more excited about opening presents since last Christmas she was too small. Please be safe this holiday season and remember to tell the people you love that you love them.

Local Business Reviews, by gregg

I started something new on the site to hopefully help you get more for your time and money.  They are area business reviews BUT I only post those businesses that offer outstanding value (5 star) or those that I plan to stay away from (1 star).  There's nothing in the middle...it's all or nothing.

Remember, these are only my opinions and your experiences may be different.

I hope they help you.

Local Delivery Service, by gregg

OK..here's something new.  I'll make small package deliveries within Corpus Christi for a nominal charge.  If it will fit in my car and won't leave a stain, I'll deliver it.  This can be anything from business correspondence to pick up from local eateries.  All you have to do is order, pay for it and I'll pick it up and deliver.

I've been involved in logistics for 30+ years so I know a bit about deliveries and of course I work with a sense of urgency.

Even though I'm creating websites (and that's going quite well) I'm still somewhat bored and I need something more to do.

Just drop me a line for a quote.

Re: Allison in the spotlight!!!, by gregg

Thanks Adriana.  You know me...I have to have those pictures and the sooner I get them the sooner Miss Allison will be right back in the spotlight.

I don't know if you've been watching those Amazon deals but there's been some GOOD things on there.  Now I just have to get over being so cheap and buy something!

Create a website, by gregg

I have a lot of time on my hands so I've started to create personal websites and websites for small businesses.  I can give you a personal website with email addresses, 99.9% server uptime and quite a few other extra's CHEAP.  Basically, I'm bored and need something to do.  If you ever thought of a personal site or even a memorial site for a loved one who has passed away, this is a great chance.  Monthly fees for hosting are very small.  Tell me what you want and I'll give you a quote.

Amazon.com, by gregg

Hi everyone.  I just put a widget on our site for Amazon.com "lightning deals"  These are special items up for sale for a limited time only but at BIG discounts.  They are constantly changing so keep checking back.  For instance, the item for sale now is a woman's Invicta Wildfire Diamond Watch.  It normally sells for $695 but is selling through the lightning deal for only $109.99 (84% off normal cost).  It's only on sale for another 1 hour, 33 minutes but keep an eye on the banner as things are constantly changing.

For those of you who normally purchase through Amazon.com, I would appreciate it if you enter the site by clicking on the Amazon lightning deals banner on cbdsa.com.  This will take you to the Amazon website.  I've set up some pretty good discounts for you so hopefully you can do your Christimas shopping through there.

Thanks for your support....Gregg

"Iraq's Down Syndrome Children", by gregg

I just posted a news article in my "Down Syndrome World News" section of www.cbdsa.com from www.islamonline.net concerning "Iraq's Down Syndrome Children".  While their wording is not what we'd use, the point of their article comes through.  This article may disturb some but it's my intent to show how Ds is portrayed worldwide and that isn't always the positive, bright and cheerful side.  I'm just grateful we live in a country that values our kids and parents.  We have a lot to be thankful for.

Check out her photos on the website. Looking forward to seeing more photos of Stevie. The people in this forum are awesome and we all are close to other another's children. I enjoy hearing and reading about updates on all of them and look forward to hearing more about Stevie. Welcome Aboard..

CBDSA Website Changes 11/6/08, by gregg

You may have seen that I added a "Ds in the news" section to our main page. I scan many sources to find NEW Ds related news articles and press releases and place links to them. There are some interesting articles and some are very enlightening. For example, one article from the Kuwait Times explains how Down syndrome is viewed in Kuwait. I just added a press release from a company that sells eyeglasses for those with Down syndrome. You never know what will show up. I update the list when I have something new. Sometimes that is several times an hour.

Since I'm limited on space for these links, I've created a news article archive. Just click on the link to view archived articles by month and year.

Check it out when you have a few spare moments (spare moments???) for what you may find to be some interesting reading.

CBDSA New Parent Page Stats, by gregg

Our New Parent page has been up and running for Since Oct. 28th. It was suggested that I keep track of the number of hits on this page. So far we've received 12 hits from the US and Canada. This includes hits from Texas, California and Virginia.

Not bad for being up for a little over a week.

CBDSA site changes - 11/5/08, by gregg

I've done a little changing of the site today. I added a Texas missing child / Amber Alert box towards the top of the front page. I'm also expanding the "Ds in the news" section. My plans are to make an archive page for stories as they drop off my list on the front page.
