I've known Clouds for many years, and he has just as much right to be here as we do. He's a good man with a big heart. I don't see his post as inappropriate - this forum is called "Social Chat," and it's meant for discussion outside of our illnesses.

Unfortunately, the world around us can exacerbate the symptoms of our neurological illnesses. I have familial amyloidosis, and I'm now permanently disabled. The state of affairs in this country and around the world are deeply troubling to me. I was told 22 years ago that it would be like this, but I never believed it - now I'm watching it all unfold in front of my TV screen.

I can't turn a blind eye (that would be my left, lol) to what's happening in the world because my only child is now involved - serving in the military.

For me, personally, it helps to talk about these issues with friends who understand me and how my illness effects me. When I try to bottle it up, it causes my symptoms to flare. When I'm allowed to talk about what's troubling me, it creates more balance - gives me the strength to cope with my illness.

If what's troubling Clouds is too troubling for you, there are plenty of other threads in which to read/respond - or you can create your own.

Thanks for sticking up for clouds Kathy. I thought we hashed that bossy crap out on other threads... oh well.

LOLOLOL. yep. Imaskeered now!

Kathy, I know exactly how you feel about discussing your beliefs and fears with ppl that understand your condition. We too have seen it coming for years. It certainly has escalated in recent years, where our questioning of the direction the US is going is more mainstream than ever.

I can't imagine the flareups you must go thru over concern for your child. That takes more strength than I have. I'm continually amazed at the remarkable strength of so many here as they live with disease day in and out.

Thank you for your fine example, reminding us all that our lives are more than the sum of our illnesses. There is nothing worse than to be treated like a handicap by those that claim the same. We lack abilities because of our illnesses, but we are live, thinking, feeling human beings.

keep em coming clouds. I LOVE your spunk!

anyone here who posts on this thread i hope ypu read the whole article because i thought it was worth posting and reading


911 was very disturbing to me and if theyre making up lies it really sucks

i really havent seen any footage of a plane hitting the pentagon or, meaning of the size they said -something seems fishy

but like the jfk case i suppose for decades we wont know the truth
if bush is also doing dumb things like the flu scare then im not falling for it

ignorance isnt bliss

bush hates medical pot and has signed a bill to give 2 years in prison for sending an "annoying"anoynmous email-think of it!! two years for such a miner thing!!

the list of bush follies goes on and on not to mention the phoney computer voting

today i heard airlines pilots will lose pension funds -is that legal?

ok now you can post some good news-if any

kettle black thing?



Rather than disposing of the radioactive waste, it is shaped into penetrator rods used in the billions of rounds being fired in Iraq and Afghanistan. The radioactive waste from the U.S. nuclear weapons industry has, in effect, been forcibly exported and spread in the environments of Iraq, Afghanistan, the former Yugoslavia, Puerto Rico, and elsewhere.

THE REAL "DIRTY BOMBS"

"A flying rod of solid uranium 18-inches long and three-quarters of an inch in diameter," is what becomes of a DU tank round after it is fired, Rokke said. Because Uranium-238 is pyrophoric, meaning it burns on contact with air, DU rounds are burning as they fly.

at braintalk1 you couldnt discuss this -it would be" ok join the military if you want and then we may discuss gulf war syndrome in some ambiguous way"

i think its disgusting to be afraid to discuss politics

Hi Clouds z -

Do you ever go to the pbs forum? There was a pretty neat thread there about Press for 911 Truth... or something like that.

I'll go get the link for you. It's got a video.

(Did you watch Path to 911? I know it got pre-airing bad reviews... but I thought it was good.)

Hi Clouds z,
I just realized that the whole Complaint against the President and others was in that Press for Truth post... I don't know if you saw it...

Here's a link to the complaint:
http://discussions.pbs.org/viewtopic...=445116#445116

I wonder what happened... I wonder if it was dismissed ... or what...

I also didn't know that there were reports of pre-warnings...
