-> 
-> I'd thought about that but it went from person to person :(  That's why
I

-> 
Could be, especially if it didn't come back.

-> hehe.. could be I guess.. but it went through pretty much everyone in
the
-> house.. :)  Ron and I were renting the upstairs of my mother's house at
the
-> time when we first started getting it..  We'd started our software 

Allergic reaction to in-laws?

-> already had a 3 room apt. up there, so we just opened up the rest of the
-> upstairs so we'd have room for kids, computers and Dog. Oh and Ron and I
of
-> course (grin).  Ron no doubt did in his back one of the times when we
moved..
-> he'd do things like put a refrigerator on his back :(  He's a big guy,
but I
-> don't think anyone has a back that could that kind of thing...at least
not for
-> long :)

Defintely true.  Then again, I've seen people throw their backs out by
bending over to pick something up...like a piece of paper.

-> 
-> That's good to hear :)  How long have you had MS now?

Since 2002 that I know of, and there were some transitory symptoms before
that I just put down to being me and therefor weird.
 
-> > Kinda sorta maybe.  I don't know how badly off I'd be without it.
-> 
-> Ok, I can understand that.. they try to clip things as soon as possible
with
-> the crab drugs, so it can be hard to know, I'm sure.

I don't want to find out the hard way.
 
-> Probably a good sign really.  Mine was very much like that in the
beginning and
-> for several years after I first got it.. Now most of those things are
gone
-> completely - blindness in both eyes, deafness in one ear, legs

I never got those, fortunately.

-> 'telecoping' .. my legs and spine just 'crumbled', incredible 

Ouch.  That sounds like steroids.

-> Cold or HOT weather.. boy did I get the shakes in Sullivan County for
years

Cold doesn't bother me much.  Heat and humidity on the other hand....

-> leg.. that stuck for a while but even that isn't there all the time..
just
-> sometimes.. and of course the parasthesia isn't there all the time...
but as
-> this Topamax hit me so hard, that's why I'm hesitant to start any of the
crab
-> drugs.  Anyway,  hang in there (guess we don't have a choice huh? :))

There's one other option, but I don't own a .357. ;-)
 
-> > -> Yeah, you only see them generally in the early spring..
-> 
-> > Critters, or basil plants?
-> 
-> Sorry :)  Potted Basil plants.

I've seen a few tomato plants more recently, but no basil.
 
-> I had one year where the tomatoes were all over the place on the
plants.. but
-> it was that year that the summer was sooooo cold.. the tomatoes never
ripened..
-> and they were early-girls :(  I had a TON of green tomatoes hahaha.. I'd
bring
-> some inside and some would eventually ripen, but not like when they're
outside
-> soaking up sun.

Green tomato mincemeat and fried green tomatoes here we come.
 
-> > They think they're lions, I think.  Or bobcats.  Max never fetched
anything
-> > except critter body parts.
-> 
-> 
-> Ah.. I never would have thought to do it with Pete.. but his owner told
me to
-> do it because he couldn't believe how much Pete loved to fetch them :)
:) I'd
-> through 4 or five Qtips on the floor, and he'd pick them up in his mouth
and
-> bring them back to me.. It was so neat to watch him do it.

Pete was half dog.  He was probably raised with them.
 
-> I think Pete weighed about 25 lbs.. boy that doesn't seem right though..
I'll
-> have to ask Ron if he remembers. He looked 'skinny', but that's because
his
-> body and tail were so long.

He was just plain big.  Bobcat sized, pretty much.
 
-> > That's a Maine Coon all over.  They're all like that.
-> 
-> Very very neat ;)

Eccentric.  Mine liked to supervise when someone else worked.
 
-> > I still miss Maxie.  Unlike the two I have now, he had a brain.  I
swear
-> > the cat was more of a bright two year-old than a cat.
-> 
-> Know what you mean  - Max sounds a lot like Pete.  Well, I was telling
Ron
-> about Max (we always love hearing other people have Maine Coons) and he
said if
-> I find a Maine Coon we'll get one.. He really loved Pete as well. I
started to
-> say, Tina won't be real happy and he said, oh she'll deal with it Lol..
Hope
-> he's right haha.. well, have to find a breeder first, so Tina is safe
for now
-> :)

Maxie was the last kitten from a breeder who was shutting down.  She
couldn't sell him due to his size, so she literally gave him to my father.
