Guest guest Posted May 18, 2000 Report Share Posted May 18, 2000 So glad you went to Niagara Falls! One day I will make it there. I hope you had a nice time. The most spectacular thing I've ever seen was the Grand Canyon. It was breathtaking. I am sure Niagara is just as awesome. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2000 Report Share Posted May 23, 2000 Hi June, So sorry you are having such a time of it with your tiredness. Maybe the B12 injection will help out. I am glad came over for a visit - you had your spirits lifted! Our German Shepherd was the same way your girl is with thunder, fireworks and hot air balloons - he used to scan the sky for those!! LOL! He would howl and cry and get real upset when these things happened. I was so relieved when they banned the fireworks in our city as it was so hard dealing with our dog during that time. We finally resorted to doggie tranquilizers for those times - really knocked him out and we hated doing it, but it was a better alternative than what he went through. Maybe Susie, Lonna, or someone else can offer some suggestions. It is hard for both you and your pet during these times I know. Hope you start feeling some energy soon!

Guest guest Posted May 24, 2000 Report Share Posted May 24, 2000 Nice to hear from you, June! Love your mother's saying. So happy that came for a visit. That's a nice treat for you and Don. Sorry to hear about . Alas, since I am one of the few people on this list who has never lived with a dog, I have no advice regarding her fear of the fireworks and thunder. Hope you can solve that problem soon. I know it's stressful for all of you. Your anemia has been going on for quite a long time. Did the doctor ever determine exactly what is causing it? Remember, iron pills and B12 will NOT solve certain types of anemia. First you must know what is causing it, and then try to correct it. Maybe the doc is just doing it by trial and error, but I'm not sure I like that since it's been so many months. Hope you feel more energetic soon, ----- Original Message ----- From: " JUNE " <juner24@...> " onelist " < egroups> Sent: Tuesday, May 23, 2000 7:10 PM Subject: [ ] a/articles > Good articles a,some very good information.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2000 Report Share Posted July 29, 2000 June, The program you describe is very exciting. I'm not sure I understand it completely, but I know you will be a valuable participant regardless. Is there a web site for the program? I saw a response to a post of yours from long ago (sorry I never saw the original - oh, that funky mail!), and, yes, I am still trying to get to Toronto. The summer is flying by. I'm going to New Jersey first to see a and my brother and his wife. I want to go to New York as well by at least Thanksgiving so I can meet Joan and see my sister and her family. I am trying to convince my daughter who will be a junior in high school this year that she should consider going to the University of Toronto and that maybe we better go take a look. How's that for an excuse for going to Toronto? I'm not sure when yet, but I will let you know as soon as I think it's going to happen. Hope you are feeling well and that you got your much needed chocolate. ----- Original Message ----- From: " JUNE " <juner24@...> " onelist " < egroups> Sent: Wednesday, July 26, 2000 10:35 PM Subject: [ ] Remicade > Hi a,yes I was accepted and go down again tomorrow,but I sure wish I > had taken anatomy in school.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2000 Report Share Posted September 8, 2000 Say, June! Great news about your class. I'm so happy you have been able to participate and that you will graduate soon. Then what? So sorry to hear about that stubborn flare of yours. I do hope you and your doc can come up with a great plan of action on the 11th. Don't remind me that it's already September and I haven't made it to Toronto to see you yet. I'm still working on it! Besides, with all of your classes, encounters with the hairy man, and everything else that you normally do, you might not have had any time to meet with me!!! ----- Original Message ----- From: " JUNE " <juner24@...> " onelist " < egroups> Sent: Tuesday, September 05, 2000 9:49 PM Subject: [ ] Arava > Hi everyone,hope you all had a good Labour Day weekend.
