As of last month, they had not. I wrote to Moji to apologize for the lack of movement on the comic books, and she said they hadn't done anything either. I think we're all still in stasis.

Thanks, Polgara. Totally understandable, of course.

So I've been sloooooooooowly going through ita's comic books, looking for the ones worth selling, and so far the two boxes I've hit have contained just the recent stuff, past 10-15 years or so, not really worth anything according to eBay. I was thinking of donating them to a children's hospital or a literacy center (if they'd have them), but I know there are a lot of comic collectors here and I didn't want to offend anyone by giving them away before offering them up here to anyone that might want them.

So, any takers? So far it's mostly X-Men related series (primarily Ultimate X-Men).

Them going to one of those sorts of organizations sounds great to me, but then again I'm not much of an X-Men fan.

I'd love to see them go to a hospital or literacy center.

I'll wait 'til the end of the week, in case someone wants them. If not, I'll take them on Saturday.

That's a great idea, Polgara. Thanks for doing it.

Did anyone ever do research on patient advocates in the LA area? I have a friend who's having a horrible time getting a diagnosis, treatment, or pain management.

CA State list of patient advocacy groups; a few of them are in LA.

Thanks, JZ.
