You seem to have learned your lesson though! Actually, that was the result of the Mu/Chung/Pastorio wars. ASDLC itself was but another one of their battlegrounds, just like ASD and the cardiology group. There was no concerted effort on ASDLCers parts to go annoy the diabetes group. There are a number of members in common, but that's all. but less overtly obnoxious than our new resident loon. Loony boy (aka Normal) almost makes me miss the Mu/Chung vs. Bob wars. Bite your tongue! If you've been reading the diabetes group today you'll see Mu is back. The Mu/Chung/Pastorio wars have already resumed. Just a heads-up. ASDLC doesn't start this stuff. We just attract the folks who do. :-) Take care, Carmen Actually Sleepy is one of the reasons I stopped posting in My diabetic group.. One I have been posting in for two years. One that I used to find a lot of support in, but got tired of the Atkins Berstein bashing. Even though, thru Atkins and Bernstein I am able to maintain very good numbers, good control, and made my Dr extreemly happy. So instead I only read and post over here, where I have also been posting for aprox two years. As always YMMV and this is JMO Jeanne Type 2 Diagnosed 05/28/02 194/164/120 |

My parents, into their seventies now, are still chugging up and down hills on their rock hunting expeditions. Healthy, strong, still taking classes, still going out, doing as they please. Don't plan on slowing down anytime soon, so, by that standard fifty is young. :-) Karen Rodgers ********** Windbourne, folk singers of the future http://www.windbourne.com/ remove "_rice_" from my email address ********** |

There's nothing in place to prevent that sort of abuse, either. Take down the number associated (tag or sticker), take a picture if you can of the "invalid", bundle it up and send it to the appropriate motor vehicle bureau. Ask for the doctor's name who issued the opinion. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap960222.html Lift well, Eat less, Walk fast, Live long. |

I think I'd get a better response by mailing everything to a local TV station as the impetus for an investigative report. Pick up a rock and the crawly things get all riled up. G Take care, Carmen |

Arrest you for fraud and being in possession of stolen goods. I'd like to see some stories in the media of just such cases. What most likely happens is the tag holder says "I let them borrow my car. I didn't know they were going to misuse my permit." Bah. I see Howard is doing well. My best to you. Thank you. He's doing alright. Chemo consult is tomorrow with the local oncologist and today he met with a pain management doctor. Phantom pain has become a big issue - the amputated hand showed up and it feels badly mangled and cut and burnt and crushed by turns. Goody. Once the pain is under better control he'll be doing great. :-) Lidocaine patches and Neurontin and methadone, oh my! For a man who only used to have a couple of beers a month there are some *serious* drugs going into his body right now, with more to follow. Sigh. Take care of yourself, Carmen |
