Yeah, Connie, I knew that. I thought they retired it after it malfunctioned & set some guy's hair on fire. I named my computer Sparky a few years ago because it kept doing weird things that my computer geek friends had never seen. I said it was probably going to blow up in my face one day, which it hasn't, but it keeps doing weird things. But hey, it's still going after 6+ years.

You know what--I just realized that it's been 7 years since NS sneaked up on me & wiped out the hearing in my right ear. Of course, at the time no one realized it was NS. NS, hinky computer . . . . . coincidence? I think not.

Rose, I think your right. I wasn't being horrible I

just recognized the name. The last person that sat in

sparky was a very bad, very cruel, very big man. His

nickname was " tiny " . They believe his size is what

caused the problem if I remember right.

Gross, enough of the morbid stuff. Be careful with

that computer girlfriend. I had a little portable one

eye stove thingermadiddy one time that whaled me good.

I had to call Univ of Fl Shands in Gainesville to ask

if they thought I had fried my pacemaker. My family

did not see the humor in this little episode at all.

After I got over the electrocution I thought it was

funny. Found out I had the souped up model pacemaker

that could handle 350 jewels. AvMed would have killed

me if I had messed up that thing, they told me it

would buy a house. (I'm an expensive cyborg)

Take care and make sure the only sparks you see are

coming from fireworks sparklers.....Connie

Hey Rose,

Gracious girl, it's the electric chair at raiford

prison. Me thinks it's time to rename the computer.

Ron, I agree with everyone else about the toe jam.

You know that you should be checking those suckers

every day, don't you? Use a mirror if you aren't

Otay!

, you go girl! You are right, that kind of

your life. And you'll get free vet care.

Angie & Diane, good to meet another camper from Camp

Baughman! I just saw him in July. A few months ago I

tried to get everybody who sees him to coordinate our

visits so we could have a party, but couldn't get it

done. Diane, if Cincinnati is a tad far for you to go

for regular visits, see if you can make it for a

consultation visit. Baughman is willing to work with

your local doctors, as long as they have any sense.

Angie, where is Lancaster?

Tracie, does a person have to be " normal " to help with

the " normal " chats? I might not be eligible. I'm

going to try very hard to make the faith chat on Wed.,

and I'll try really hard to make the " normal " chat on

doubt I'll make it to the chat. But I am putting a

sticky note on the computer right now to remind

myself!

Quint, my memory must have failed me about the grits &

Wayne, welcome to the group! We are always glad when

Do you mind a few questions? Where do you live? Are

you working? How long have you had symptoms? How

were you diagnosed & do you feel comfortable with your

health care providers? How is the NS affecting you

now? Do you have good family support? Are you a Cubs

fan? (slipped that one in to see if you were still

awake!) Don't worry if responses are a little slow;

we are all sick ourselves & sometimes it takes awhile

Hey to Marla, Connie, Barb, , , ,

A big cyber hug to Darlene & family! So glad that you

are doing better. Hope you are back with us soon.
