Hello, Everyone...I'm Strk3
 

New to this site but not MS or related boards. Just thought I would stop in, check it out and say hello to some old friends...and possibly make some new ones.

I've had MS (or possible MS) for 6 years. I've been lucky thus far with my MS and am thankful on a daily basis for what I have. I will nt complain as many have it worse. Plus, who'd listen? LOL.

I have 2 boys, 6 & 4, and they're my life. And, with a little more sucking up, a little courting and possibly a bribe or two along the way (in addition to some flowers and promises I hope to some day keep) I may be able to convince my wife for a third. So, MS be damned. Life goes on, right?

I've been a part of another MS board for the last 6 years so its been a long time since I introduced myself. So bare with me. As for "what I do," I'm an attorney. I'll give you a minute to curse and think of bad lawyer jokes (which are always welcome with me). If I can be of assistance, let me know (pro bono, of course). I like to help MSers if I can even if its just on the forum with "unofficial" suggestions.

I live in a small town south of Chicago. I see a neuro at Rush. He's awesome. He's a little miffed that I'm not treating and haven't seen him in 2 years but I told him its not him, its me. We were growing apart. LOL! Now, I'm off to see him with wife in tow to go over an MRI which had a change (duh! Its been 2 years what did he think it was stable? HA) so I'll probably get an earful about treatment. That should go over well with my wife who has wanted me to treat but has left it to me. Thats a longer story and involves Mayo recommending that I not treat for now. I can go into that later if need be.

Any way, thats me in short. I hope some of my old MSWorld buddies remember me and find me here. And, I hope to make some new friends as well. See you on the board!

Stay well.

Strk3

I saw you lurking about!

Welcome aboard! I already posted a welcome thread to you, you little stinker! Glad you finally showed your ugly mug here! :p

Flowers??? LOL!

Welcome to the board Strk3.


DAY

Hiya Strk3 and welcome! It took you long enough to find the place! Don't they let lawyers have GPS or maps? We left a trail of crumbs for you MONTHS ago!

Let the games begin!!! LOL!

He's a guy RW...he won't ask for directions anyway! LOL!

Ugly?
 

Ugly mug? I'll have you know, everyone, that Flygirl used to refer to me as Mr. Pitt in another life dating back some 6 years. Thanks for the welcome. How are you? I hope all is well. We've got some catching up to do. As soon as I figure out this site, that may be easier. HA! I've thought about you and our old gang a lot. Without sounding like a religious zealot (no offense to the zealots on the board), I've kept you all in my prayers each night and so have my boys. Who else is here regularly or semi-regularly? I'll tell ya, Flygirl, you were there for me when I was first diagnosed and really helped me. I've never forgotten that and hoped to do the same for others on the old board. Still try but haven't been as active with life getting in the way (baseball, work, becoming a degenerate poker players ha!, etc). And, you were there through the online Tysabri debates, too. Ah, the good ole days. Glad you chimed in and thanks again for the warm welcome.

Day, thanks for the welcome, too. Much appreciated.

Stay well.

Strk3

River, hey there!!! Geez, its like the whole gang is here. Why didn't someone club me over the head and drag me here? How ya been? (And, I think "months" is an understatement...I've just been busy...as if thats an excuse)

So pretend no one is listening and give me the low down on this joint. If I mention politics will a hit be put out on me? You know how I get sometimes. HA!!!

Is Laurie4030 here? Ceci? Anyone else?

Strk3

Hi Strk3! Like RW said, took you long enough!

Glad you are here finally!

Welcome to NeuroTalk! :)

I'm curious about your username. Strk3 = Strike three?

Good to see you here Strk3.

Hi Strk3 and welcome to NeuroTalk, your new home away from home. I hope you like it here......just don't ask me to have your baby.:D

Hey guys!
 

Thanks for the warm welcome. I appreciate it. I don't know if my posts are delayed or if I am messing something up. Thought I responded already but I don't see my reply. So here I go again.

Ugly mug? Just so you guys know, Flygirl used to refer to me as "Mr. Pitt" in a previous life. HA! If it wasn't for her (and others) my introduction to MS would have been much more difficult. The MS boards saved me 6 years ago. Of course, Cheryl took that to mean that since she helped me she had free reign to pick on me, my fear of flying which I still embrace to this day and my political affiliation. Of course, we all know this was just to mask her deep, unwavering love and affection for all things Strk.

Any way, thats enough of me talking about me, why don't you all talk about how wonderful I am. HA!

River & Sassy, long time no talk. The reason I went to law school was because I suck at math and geography so a map and some bread crumbs weren't enough apparently but I still managed to get here. The important thing is that I arrived albeit fashionably late. How are you guys? Hope all is well.

Strk3

TwoKids, nice to see you. Thanks for the warm wishes. Hope you're doing well.

Twinkletoes, yes, its like Strike 3. I'm a big baseball fan, played in college and now coach my 2 little guys in tee ball. I used to be a pitcher so hence the name.

Sally, thanks for the invite. I cannot recall ever receiving both a warm welcome and a cold rejection in a greeting. However, under the circumstances I understand your opinion and, should you change your mind, let me know. HA!

Hey, Strk! Glad you made it! So, a Rabbi, a Magician and a Lawyer meet in a bar...

Welcome abaord! I think your name is for Star Trek 3.

Hi Strk!

Will you be our resident attorney? :D ;) Anyway, nice to see you here. This is a much more user friendly website, with private messages and less stringent rules, etc...

Typical Friday night in Mokena? :p :Grin-Nod:

LOL! Where's the rabbit? Oh shoot, she said Rabbi, didn't she!! You know Magician, rabbit, hat...all the same! Some smart lawyer will get it all messed up in court anyway!

:D

Well it's about time you showed up! :p

AZJanie aka AZMomma

:welcome_sign: Strk3. I remember your handle and postings from about 3 yrs ago, and always enjoyed reading your perspective. Glad you decided to come over and join in on the fun!

Cherie

BTW . . . What's the difference between a lawyer and a terrorist? ;)

hi strk,

i knew it was too quiet over here.
i missed your argumentative style, er, your supportive commentaries.

and i mean that in a good way.
welcome. :)

Hey Strk3! It's SandyC, aka grfxdsnr or as Cheryl liked to call me alphabet Sandy.

Last I talked to you we were in a heated argument over one of your threads. :D Don't worry, my balls shrunk since then. Must be an age thing or something. I'm a much nicer person over here. Just as sweet as sugar but salty when needed for my friends. Ask anyone. :p


Que Cheers theme song.

Hi there strk3. I'm not sure if we met in the "other life", but that's OK.... we've met now!

Welcome to Neurotalk. I look forward to getting to know you in the forums.:D

Hey Hey Hey!!!
Welcome strk3!!! Glad you found the hideout..Now, will someone please finish a joke? I need punchlines, people..

Hi, I recognize you!

The only lawyer joke I know is about the guy who gave free legal advice to clowns. He got some kind of award for doing all that pro bozo work.

Nyuk nyuk nyuk..He was up to funny business :rolleyes:..
Thanks, B2Y..I feel better now :D..

Res judicata. Collateral estoppel. Stare decisis.

howdy strke and welcome to the group,

Hi strk3! I remember you from "the other place".....I was herekitty1960 over there. Glad you found us.....lots of great people over here.....probably lots of familiar faces for you, too!

Oh! I know this! The answer is better fashion sense!

Hey, I remember you too from over there. Glad you finally made it.

We really need to talk about your sense of direction. On the other hand, maybe you didn't like the kind of crumbs that were left for you. :eek::D

Good to see you here and look forward to your posts here.

Oh at last he found us! You were one of the people over there who could usually make me laugh.

I have a lawyer joke! What happens when the lawyer sings karaoke in a gay bar in Italy???

Hi Strk3. :Wave-Hello: I remember ya too. Welcome to NT!
