Honestly, didn't take it as critical - would have surprised me but wouldn't have bothered me if I did.

Oh. My. Goodness. I KNEW you were a geek! Geek like me even.

I think I would be looking for another doctor...in Florida. I'm so sorry that happened to you.

I do not understand this lack of information. For instance, I'm trying to determine why I collapse three hours (almost can set my watch by it) after I take my morning meds. Unfortunately, steroids are in that mix and so I can't sleep - but neither can I hold my head up. So I lay in bed for two to three hours completely awake and unable to push myself off the bed. There may be a simple reason but if this is to be expected, why am I wasting my limited resources trying to document around this when a simple conversation OR EVEN A HANDOUT (not yelling at you).

Very cool indeed. I'm jealous.

Sooner or later I'm going to blog some of my ideas so that someone from another generation can pick them up and run them. No sense letting good idea's go to waste because of a finite life. I have an idea for doubling food production in hydroponic greenhouses by using a photographic filter to filter out the wavelength that tell plants that they need <12 hours of sunlight to produce food. This way, plants could continue the photosynthesis process 24 hours a day. Another idea, I experimented with fiber optics and lit every room in a 2400 sq. ft. home with a 60 watt bulb. It would be nice to see some of these idea's come to fruition even if I personally don't benefit from it.
