So, I have a friend with MS diag in the past year. They're thinking about entering a clinical trial and have asked advice. As I know jack shit about that sort of thing, does anyone here know more than jack shit? If so, let me know and I'll email you with the anonymous particulars, as they have good reason to keep it from employers.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

sara, you may want to email Deb G. She has MS.

Well, it is more about the ins and outs of clinical trials and the drugs in the trial, which I suspect Deb avoids.

D'you reckon that in the 60s when they were making Star Trek that there were all sorts of karate-like chops that render people unconscious but maybe we just haven't discovered them all yet?
I think it's baritsu.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Meara or I can probably help with any questions about trials, in general.

Yeah, I was about to say, I don't know much about the current state of MS research, but I can certainly talk all about the ins and outs of participating in a clinical trial!! Feel free to email me, or have her email me (yahoo, mearagirl)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OMG. Another totally cool way to propose to someone - in zero-g! [link]
The picture of her surprised look as they float about in the plane is awesome....
This past weekend I went on a Zero-G flight out of Las Vegas, and was thrilled to see that they use shots of your flight in the training video (I loudly said 'I know her' and then realized that that was, of course, a lie). Thought you'd like to know, it was very cool.
While floating around in no gravity, my boyfriend proposed.
It was great.

Aw, thanks. I just sent you what was sent to me. You may have no insights, but I figured I'd toss it to a wider pool ( I have NO insights and this one has been important to me even as we've barely stayed in touch.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
good news for Monday. I have two friends in their late 50s early 60s - they met about a year ago. As of Sunday they are officially engaged. Over the last year , watching their joy has been amazing. He is happier than I have ever seen him. I am ecstatic.
