To those who have felt a need to respond over poem, Roscoe,etc.

Nicely said Mark.

People, we all have a life to live!!!! Make the best of it because it is the

only one we have been given on this green earth.

I am sorry and do not mean to be rude but do some of you have nothing better

to do with your time???? If not, then let me clue you in. Some of us are

really busy people. Do you know why? Because we are out there making it

count! We do not have time to puruse over the latest NF2 Crew soap opera

stats. If you are going to whine (You certainly have the freedom to do it.

It is your right), then write WHINE in the subject box.

I only say this because there are some people here who desperately need our

help. When I think of this I think of the young students trying to focus on

getting that degree while dealing with the heartship of NF2. And how about

the parents out there who come home from work everyday with the constant

worry of what to do about their child who has NF2. The little bit of time

they have each night will be spent scavenging the internet for doctors and

hospitals in search of the best care. I know there are several other people

in similiar situations that I have not mentioned. Let's all give them a

break, eh? Their time is precious to them and it is better spent enjoying it

with their loved ones.

So can we all become assertive individuals and hit the " delete " button if a

particular email bothers us? If you wish and absolutely feel the need to

respond to such an email, then can you at least have respect for the time of

the others and write that particular person's name in the subject box? I

just hate to see such special people be turned off by the Crew for lack of

pertinent substance or content and time to read such entries.

My final thought on this matter:

Remember that no person makes us angry, hurt, or sad that we did not allow

them to. In other words, if you are angry it is because you have allowed

someone to let you feel that way. Take charge of your life!

Best wishes to you all. )

Very well said, Beck! Ditto, for me.

BTW, are you a Psychotherapist or a Psychologist? If not, I think you may

have missed your calling!
