Perhaps a search on any of the major news sites would refresh some memories.And as far as my propagation of rascism thats pretty good since you dont even know me but you can judge me.I am a Puerto Rican which in case you dont know is a mixture of black,indian and spanish in varying degrees of mixture.I was just passing on a story passed on to me by my mother who lives in Houston,OK.Just maybe she has seen a thing or two as she told me pretty much the same thing from first hand experience as a church volunteer.I guess this post just burst some peoples bubbles as to what life is really like at times and they dont want to hear it and want to tell people its all a big lie and just close your eyes and it will all go away and chefboy is a horrible person for even talking about this.Well ,the truth can be painfull so lets just pretend this didnt happen.I feel so much warm fuzzies now. -- In Hepatitis_C_Central , " elizabethnv1 " <elizabethnv1@e...> wrote: > It is just my misfortune to see how this could be possible considering the news reports about how the rescued are behaving .

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2005 Report Share Posted September 22, 2005 Yes Chefboy this DOES sound like what happened.. its ok,, try not to get so upset, all of us with hep do not need to get so upset.. just let it go and keep on posting all the good stuff and we all will be just fine.. jax chefboy2160 wrote: And just how do you prove these stories to be hoaxs? Perhaps a search on any of the major news sites would refresh some memories.And as far as my propagation of rascism thats pretty good since you dont even know me but you can judge me.I am a Puerto Rican which in case you dont know is a mixture of black,indian and spanish in varying degrees of mixture.I was just passing on a story passed on to me by my mother who lives in Houston,OK.Just maybe she has seen a thing or two as she told me pretty much the same thing from first hand experience as a church volunteer.I guess this post just burst some peoples bubbles as to what life is really like at times and they dont want to hear it and want to tell people its all a big lie and just close your eyes and it will all go away and chefboy is a horrible person for even talking about this.Well ,the truth can be painfull so lets just pretend this didnt happen.I feel so much warm fuzzies now. -- In Hepatitis_C_Central , " elizabethnv1 " <elizabethnv1@e...> wrote: > It is just my misfortune to see how this could be possible considering the news reports about how the rescued are behaving .

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I'll be fine this time, I rode the Kat in it's full force, we are already having 20MPH sustained winds in Baton Rouge, and the air smells of hurricane...hot and humid... pray for Cameron Parish..... BTW, I've completed 14 weeks of 24 weeks today... just wish I could get my last blood work..it's the first blood work I've had since before I started that tested my viral load, and I want to know. I have a friend that is a month behind me in treatment, and she's gone from 300,000, to less than 2000. I was only 53,000 when I started...I could be clear now...I just try to keep my mind on work, and go from there.... s wrote: > Thanks for the post, Ed.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I'll be fine this time, I rode the Kat in it's full force, we are already having 20MPH sustained winds in Baton Rouge, and the air smells of hurricane...hot and humid... pray for Cameron Parish..... BTW, I've completed 14 weeks of 24 weeks today... just wish I could get my last blood work..it's the first blood work I've had since before I started that tested my viral load, and I want to know. I have a friend that is a month behind me in treatment, and she's gone from 300,000, to less than 2000. I was only 53,000 when I started...I could be clear now...I just try to keep my mind on work, and go from there.... s wrote: > Thanks for the post, Ed.
