I really, really, don't have time to be bothered by MS. Space shuttle launch is Feb 7th and I got alot to do for it...

yeppers! my little farm keeps me busy, tending to over 100 animals, and overseeing construction of an accessible house.
almost 20 years here... same-o same-o, woke up blind in my right eye, around Valentine's Day, 1988.
didn't get my dx until a major flare in '93, and also drew a high lottery number on the Beta... finally started it at the end of '94... took it for two years, until I started looking like a pincushion...
a lady walked up behind me in line at the grocery store, and slipped a card into my hand, saying in an urgent whisper "You don't have to LIVE like that!"
stunned, I looked at the card, and it was a for a battered women's shelter!
got home, and used two mirrors to look at the backs of my upper arms... sure enough, the BRUISES looked like I'd been grabbed and abused.
I stopped wearing sleeveless shirts after that...
the last straw was my liver enzymes going TILT, and that was the end of Beta for me.
gotta go check on the latest hatching, see y'all later!
