A lurker converted
 

I am Alfee's sister and Bizi's Aunt. I have been lurking for months and Alffe has pestered me to do this. I had lunch with Alffe today and she got Curious to help me register - nothing is ever easy with me and my computer. I have only had it for a year and still have much to learn! Thank you Curious for the help - here we go!

Welcome Barbo...your family already...so great you converted over...here's a big welcome to you!!

welcome barb. :hug:you have my email. so if you need help, just let me know.

Hello Barbo and welcome to NeuroTalk.

I'm just wondering if you are the sister who's daughter had MS :hug:

Please feel free to ignore my "wondering" :)

Yes, Snoopy, I am the Mother of Pam who wrote that neat poem that Alffe posted. What a woman she was! She just got very unlucky, as only 2% of MSers ever lose totally to the disease. Hope we communicate some more!!

What? Another sister of Alffe's named Barb??? Oh, just two threads!
WHEW! I was looking for your other brother Darrell for a minute.
:D

I'll just say it again Barb~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two welcomes? Welcome again Barbo! :D

It's great to have you with us.

Pam sounds like a beautiful person and someone I wish I had known.

We can communicate anytime! :)

how about one of these barb?

May I ask how old you are and when you were diagnosed?

Welcome, I'm Donna and I think alot of both Bizi and alffe.

So welcome, glad to add another in the family.

Donna:grouphug:

Pam never used any of the ABC's. Said they made her feel like a guinea pig!

Hi Barbo!

Welcome. Its great to have you! I am always trying to get Alffe to adopt me. Think you can put in a good word?

Let us know if there is anything you need.

Shelley

And where did you get that photo of me from Curious? Huh? :confused:

I think I did that - now what? I am such a newbie!

left side on blue tool bar, click UserCp.

there is a menu on the left. click edit avatar.

then click use custom avatar.

click the browse button. this is wher eyou will go to find the picture. should be called barb avatar. :wink:

then click save changes.

or i can do it...either way. :hug:

I am 47. I was diagnosed at the age of 25 in 1986.

I can understand why she felt like that.

I was diagnosed before the ABCs were available.

From what I had read Pam seems to have had an inner strength - something you should be very proud of.

i did it for you barb. i hope you like it. :hug: pretty cool..i got to be alffe's sister! :D

It's beautiful! Thank you so much!

barb...you HAVE to watch this. :D it's your song. barbara manatee.

BMW ... Curious bestowed me with BMW shes so :cool: I still have that bag of dove chocolate bars I will share since I never did get a derby hat... theres only so many in the bag so no fighting :p

bags all your Curious :hug:

LOLOL! That is hilarious!! Where on earth do you find these things? LOL

welcome, barb!

I am still honored to inherit some of Pam's art supplies. I plan on getting some good use out of them in the next few years (now that I have a semi-studio set up).

Pam was such a talented artist/poet. She truly shined in her short life and I believe she lived her life to its fullest.

And I love Barbara Manatee.

Alpho, you don't know the Veggie Tales? I am dropping you a CD in the mail this week. LMAO...we got addicted when we got it for the grandkids...

We ALMOST did Barbara Manatee at our weeding....ROFL......

one of my other favorite song is my motto...

but be careful, the songs are so addicting that you'll sing it again and again even in your sleep...LOL

I remember how mad she got over the Multiple Sclerosis Society's magazine/Newsletter - All of the ads were from drug companies!

I will love it every time I look at it! Thank you so much, Curious!

You lucky - getting to see manatees all the time! Alffe got me a gorgeous tin one for my wall! It is right beside my computer.

I'm envious of all the nice pictures. I love to look at them.

Keep them coming. My computer wont oblige for me to post
any.

I'd love to show everyone my son's art work.

Donna

I am new as well and am looking forward to getting involved in this "community". Can't wait to meet everyone.

There are ads all over the place now for these drugs. The Multiple Sclerosis society recommends those diagnosed and even "probable MS" patients use the drugs ASAP.

The Mayo Cllinic takes a wait and see approach.

As far as the MS drugs, I agree with Pam.

How old was Pam when she was diagnosed?

Pam was 35 when she was diagnosed.

And you mispelled diagnosis in your edit. :D

and you missy are the spelling police? :p

come on outta the welcome forum barb. time to find some other place to play and meet more people. :hug: ms has a social type of forum called stumble inn.

what interests you?

i bet i can find a few places to for you to pick on alffe. :D

We'd do well in the pet forum....:p
