Syliva isn't the only member from California. Jackie also lives here.

I'm a California native, and going through tx. And I'm sure there are

others here in the group from California, as well.

I don't perform abortions on 12 year olds while smoking pot. I am

working full time while going through tx, and come here to the group

for support, not to be bashed or categorized as an idiot because of

where I live.

No, I'm not sure where I got HCV, but assume it was from a tattoo. I

was never sick, so it's hard to pinpoint exactly where I got it. I do

know I've had it for at least 22 year, maybe more.

Thanks for your support, . This was a delight to wake up to this

morning. I'm sure you know how many people categorize those from

Alabama... but I won't get into that here. How exactly does this

relate to the topic of HCV, anyway?

Yes, I feel like crap this morning, did shot last night and my

Saturdays suck. Waiting for my 12 week viral load tests, and hoping

I'm clear.

Okay I agree with Silvia. Foul language is not appreciated in this group.

Why? Because for one thing you are dealing with 578 something personalities.

People from all over the world.

Look I am passionate about HCV also. I don't know how you got the disease but I

know how I got it. From a needle stick. I am a nurse, been a nurse for many

years. I only mentioned that because you referred that you were passionate about

the disease because of the way you contacted it.

But I think that other words could be used to get your point across and without

pointing fingers in any direction.

So can the language dear heart.

Love

-So you contracted Hepatitis C from being in California where you

engaged in free sex that resulted in you having a free abortion while

being housed in a free rehab where you lived a nonconventional

lifestyle.How intersting.

This is known as flaming. Also is a way to get you put on moderated messages. As

I have said before. Enough of this type of messages.

This is warning number 1. Next action will to be to put you on moderated

messages.

Re: It's not about money.

Syliva isn't the only member from California. Jackie also lives here.

I'm a California native, and going through tx. And I'm sure there are

others here in the group from California, as well.

I don't perform abortions on 12 year olds while smoking pot. I am

working full time while going through tx, and come here to the group

for support, not to be bashed or categorized as an idiot because of

where I live.

No, I'm not sure where I got HCV, but assume it was from a tattoo. I

was never sick, so it's hard to pinpoint exactly where I got it. I do

know I've had it for at least 22 year, maybe more.

Thanks for your support, . This was a delight to wake up to this

morning. I'm sure you know how many people categorize those from

Alabama... but I won't get into that here. How exactly does this

relate to the topic of HCV, anyway?

Yes, I feel like crap this morning, did shot last night and my

Saturdays suck. Waiting for my 12 week viral load tests, and hoping

I'm clear.

You know ....I went over all the posts again and I can see where

the misunderstanding was. I hope you'll let me explain...

I posted the article about St 's. You have no idea about all

the abuse I've had to put up with just because I'm an Ambassador for

the same organ donor network as St 's .....as if I'd had

anything to do with it....so I figured I better post it myself and

say how I felt about it.

As a sort of follow up, I posted the stats on foreign nationals and

donation update for the month of Sept. The stats came directly from

OneLegacy. Here's a copy:

______________

Subject: AMB: Dispatch #49

Date: 10/14/2005 1:48:42 PM Pacific Standard Time

From: twallace@...

DONATION UPDATE

In September, OneLegacy transplanted more organs than ever before in

our company's history. In the 72 hours after news of St. 's

Liver Program, 11 families were approached about donation, 10

families gave consent and 9 actually became donors.

In September:

37 Organ donors

40 Tissue donors

127 organs transplanted

3.43 organs per donor

This makes OneLegacy on track for a 12% increase in consent rates for

2005 and a 6th consecutive year of increases in donation. With your

help with are saving lives!

STATS ON FOREIGN NATIONALS

Recent data shows that across the US, 1% of transplant recipients are

of foreign nationals and 2% of donors are foreign nationals. Also,

3.4% of recipients are non-US citizens and 6% of donors are non-US

citizens. Thus, both measures are below the federal limit of 5% of

transplants and both indicate that foreigners give a good deal more

than they receive.

When I said to Ric that I was practicing for the radio, I meant my

comment where I said " Hope is alive and well ladies and

gentlemen " .....and IT WAS A JOKE!!!!

I never meant that I was going to talk on the radio about stats for

CA for the month of Sept. That would be stupid....and in all honesty

I wouldn't even remember them. To say nothing of the fact that it

would have nothing to do with the topic of hepatitis C and the need

for getting tested. The topic of Hep C is complicated enough without

adding organ donation to it.

When I thanked you for your input, I thought I was letting you know

that I wouldn't do something that irrational and stupid. I have

attended several speaker programs and given multiple lectures on

Hepatitis C and I can assure you, I know my topic.

Passion for this cause ....is more than cussing and throwing a

fit when others may not agree with you....and since you think you can

do better than me, or else you wouldn't be trying to teach

me.....then you can do the radio interview...because I'm not going

to. Furthermore, I consider this subject closed.
