The oncologist mentioned it as an example on the first visit I had with her. It's called "hairy cell leukemia" and they can eradicate it completely and permanently with a single treatment.

Thanks Bryan. And the door here is open to you as well, if you wind up here someday.

What's denial, son? I'll have a double helping of it, please. > It is actually you that's being pressured to leave. By practically everyone. Well, it just isn't *working* now, is it, sonny? Whatever you say just results in a response from me, and isn't that *counter-productive*? If you *really* want me to stop posting my wisdom here, stop addressing messages to me and pretend that I simply do not exist. You'll be a lot happier that way, than you will be by debating with me. > If a vote were to be taken on who people would want to see leave and > who should remain - either you or TOG - you know what the results > would be. Plebescites are unconstitutional everywhere. Nobody can vote away somebody else's civil right to freedom of speech. If you disagree with what somebody says, post your opinion, but don't start *labelling* the person you disagree with as being "this" or "that" and expect the other person not to come back at you for your own bigotry. > It would be a devastating put-down on you. Oh, I'm feeling *so* devastated right now! Maybe I will get so bummed out that I will decide to just end it all right now! Would *that* make you happy, son? > So bad that it's doubtful even a single person here, American or otherwise, would > step forward to vouch for you. Oh, well... > Then contrast that with the fact that lots of people (Americans too) > value TOG's participation here. So, go "camping" with TOG if you want. You may just find that he's a congenial bedfellow. > Hopefully that's simple enough for you to understand. I'm not listening to you anymore... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ananda, consider, for example, a person who suddenly stops up his ears with two fingers. Because the sense organ of hearing has become fatigued, a sound is heard in his head. However, both the ears and the fatigue originate in Bodhi. Monotony will produce the characteristic of fatigue.

That and the occasional carb cleaner spiel probably constitute your finest contributions to reeky. Congratulations. Good post. |
