This isn't really a joke, but it makes me laugh (and as long as we're putting politics on here): "[waves]"- George W. Bush greeting Stevie Wonder Stevie Wonder is blind.

*waves* I'm also around

MRSA= methicillin (I think?) resistant staphylcoccus aereaus. Basically, its a stronger staph bug resistant to more meds.

Hi, I don't think that your carrier statuses have any affect on your ability to get pregnant. My parents only tried for one month before my mom got pregnant with me. As a matter of fact, I've read that carriers of the CF gene have higher fertility rates (and higher intelligence rates). As far...

That's terrible- especially considering you are in a genetics counseling program (if I remember correctly), so they should know about CF and really want to help!

I've taken Zyrtec and haven't noticed a drying effect from them, though granted, I'm 16 and not still a toddler. Is there a toddler/young children dose he is taking, or is it an adult one?

I really like this poem by Dylan Thomas: Do not go gentle into that good night Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no...

Yay! I'm so glad you are doing well! Lucky you going to Florida<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">... and don't worry, I never thought you were mad at anyone, I was just worried you still weren't up to snuff healthwise

As of this week, the median life expectancy was upped to 34.5 years or something close to that. So yes, the doctor was making a guess, but an educated one. Come back with any questions<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Julie- I saw White Noise, and I don't recall leaving the theatre scared or anything, but it certainly wasn't a purely psychological suspense movie.

I want to work in medicine. I also really like to write. Writing is a career though, that a person could do on the side, meaning I could do both. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Happy Bday!

I've wondered the same thing. It probably depends on the personal case. Actually, I think my mom and I both started thinking about it around the same time- in relation to Survivor- which I wanted to be on LOL! It may be morbid to think about, but I think about it from a purely analytical point...

You've come to a great place, and maybe, once she is ready enough, your friend could come here too. I recently posted something about my life with CF on a post with something about mutations in the topic, and I imagine it would be a positive thing for you and your friend to read. Good luck<img...

Maria and Carey-- thanks to both of your for your kindness <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Hi, this is the Coll Jenica is referring to. I'm Delta f508. Jenica's right, CF is not an automatic death sentence. There are many new treatments in the pipeline. For older CFers who need them, lung transplants are a real, sucessful option (Candice, Joanne Schum, and supermanfan come to mind as...

I have extended family who work behind the scenes in show business (movies and such). My mom though, definitely is the cool one I'm related to. <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

I also trace my roots back to the green isle. This may be a dumb question, but is faoi mse gaelic?

Hey Jaime, last we heard from you, you were recovering from your whole lobectomy fiasco and seemed to be on the road to being yourself again. I was just wondering how you were doing and how you were feeling and all that. If you see this, post a hello, or if anyone knows how Jaime is, let us...

I busted out some of our home remedy books (like one from Reader's Digest) and they say eating garlic helps, as does taking baths in a tub with 1/2 cup salt and a 1/2 cup white vinegar in the water. Good luck.
