Two MDs at Stanford are presenting a paper today at a conference about CFS and it has HUGE NEWS in it!!  They may have found a CURE for some (possibly the majority of chronic fatigue patients.  Yes, a cure!!!  They tried informally using an FDA approved drug, Valcyte, often used for serious viral infections in AIDS patients for treating ( Read more... )

and says she's wonderful.  Unfortunately although I had planned to go to the barn, Curt didn't know or realize it, so I was in bed and he came in and said "I'm going to the barn, I'll hang your picture when you get back" and he was gone.  :(   Next weekend we'll be leaving to go to visit M sso I don't imagine I'll get to ride her until after that ( Read more... )

You might be interested in a different site called Pine Cone Research.  They are actively looking for MEN between the ages of 18 and 60 to do online surveys.  The bad news is that you only get a survey a month or so (although if they really need guys they might do more) but the best part is that unlike some places that pay in points or make you ( Read more... )

By that I mean Friday, 11/30.  It was so nice to hear heavy rain falling all day.  We need as much rain as we can get.  It was beautiful!

arabian horses,:  I added this interest when we first started taking riding lessons at an Arabian barn and were riding Arabians as lesson horses.  We've even considered buying an Arabian and by sheer happenstance might actually buy a specific Arabian if all works out.  One good thing about Arabian horses for me is that they are narrow and because I ( Read more... )

Curt is expecting a raise which might allow us to board a second horse.  We have been chatting about selling Hustle and Curt talked to the barn owner about allowing us to put him up for sale at that barn.  Marc says sure, but why not buy me a horse instead ( Read more... )
