MDJunction to me

"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....

thanks MDJunction

I spent most of yesterday going through grandpa's papers.  He had been sure that someone was breaking into our house and stealing his papers for about the past two weeks.  He said thatit was the only possibility because he couldn't find them anymore.  Of course, his organization leaves something to be desired on a normal basis, but he's definitely not been normal for a while.  While looking through his things, I found all of the documents he'd been looking for.

 It was a little funny/frustrating.  He's quite the pack-rat.  I think it's from growing up in the Depression.  Anyway, as I was going through things, I was throwing away the mounds of junk that he's been keeping for no good reason.  I turned back and there he was, fishing things out of the garbage and trying to see whether he could keep them.  We went round and round, with me throwing them out, him digging them back out of the garbage and me, waiting until he'd been distracted by something else, putting them back into the garbage.  I was proud of myself because I was able to see the humor in the situation.

I, too, can identify. My great-uncle also lived through the depression and was a pack rat! After many instances of him going through the trash (after I had just thrown away stuff/papers I knew to be junk) I tried to save major "throw away" sprees for when he was out of the house!---------Hugs,
