>Judith, I'm with you 100%. >Best, >Kathrynne >Wicked Witch of the South Thanks, Kathrynne. Witches of the world unite! : ) Sometimes I just get so frustrated with the nit-picking on the list. Maybe it happens when I'm especially tired as I have been lately. I read MJF's testimony and caught some of it on TV and I applaud his efforts and also the efforts of others who are working so hard on behalf of PWP everywhere. I read Dennis Greene's post with great interest. I try to be optimistic, and usually I am or at least put up a good front, but I think about the Hilarys and the Ivans... When I was diagnosed I was told that 'they' thought THE cure would be found in the next ten years. It has now been eight years since diagnosis and I'm still hearing 'ten' years. Just as Kermit the frog sang, "It's not easy being green," - it's not easy being brave and optimistic all the time either, and now I'm going to have a good cry and get this out of my system!
