Guest guest Posted January 26, 2004 Report Share Posted January 26, 2004 How about " Cystic Fibrosis, the disease that NEVER discriminates! " I think that I am getting a little punch-drunk--and I do not even drink! " Or, Jan, " The equal opportunity disease, " especially when one thinks of how many have NOT been diagnosed because of these odd theories that allegedly " exclude " them! O.K. Really nutty now, Jan, Love, n Rojas Re: " whites only " diseaseResponse > > Hey -- we can think of slogans..........CF - every man's disease........or CF > knows NO boundaries or CF does not discriminate or CF something for > everyone........ok...I am getting punchy being stuck in with this cold weather!!!!!!!!! > Or the one we kept hearing from the doctors, " I doubt he has CF, he is too healthy " jan ------------------------------------------- The opinions and information exchanged on this list should IN NO WAY be construed as medical advice.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2004 Report Share Posted January 27, 2004 COME ON DOWN............I still have that light on. I have a few beds. BUT much more floor space too :) & it is warmer here. Even when its cold. Orlando doesn't get much of it . We are 50 miles from either coast so are protected a bit.
