There are some situations that just suck, and anonymous posting is one. We can't get rid of it because it's good for new people to come here and genuinely test the waters before identifying themselves, especially if they or teens in the younger forum have embarassing questions. The problem is...

Anon wrote some really great things, one of which I meant to talk about and forgot. I don't think by reproducing that we are in turn polluted humanity's future, although I sympathize with people who may be concerned only with the possibility of passing the disease on to their own offspring and...

You should write for the the Wachowski brothers. They'd love to have you. Darwin did come across a theory about the survival of the fittest. Let's face it, CFers simply are not the fittest. Were it not for doctors and researchers, most of us, myself included, would not be here to have this...

Wow. I can't believe someone put my existence into words so easily. Thanks for this post!

A malt does it to me sometimes. When I first started drinking, I realized I threw up if I didn't take my enzymes. I'm not sure if that's scientifically sound or not, but it's what I've come to understand through testing. I agree with wanderlost, though. Try avoiding the Smirnoff wine coolers and...

I walked yesterday in Pt. Pleasant, NJ. I have some pics I'll post later on.

If you don't mind my asking, what were your first symptoms of CFRD?

Yay, I get a virtual beer, which is the closest I've gotten to the real thing since I've been home from college. I can sympathize with you on being too lazy to do therapies. When I'm at school I hardly do them like I'm supposed to, and I feel terribly about it. I just have too much to do in...

On SARS...during the SARS scare I went to NY to see a broadway show and I was coughing a bit from the whole cf thing, and the guy in front of me turned around quite rudely and was like, "hey! you don't have SARS do you?" I just ignored him and coughed more loudly. On Bird flu...right now it's...

Agreed, Debbie. I think everyone here is well-intentioned, but we all come from different experiences that create different opinions, which should be celebrated rather than attacked. Good call!

Renegade seems like a nice enough guy who just cannot illustrate his idea, and as a result, resorts to innapropriate means to try to win an argument. I disagree with his tactlessness and how he approaches this subject. I also want to say for my sake that I agree with Emily and Lilith and...

Lilith, I appreciate you having some good ideas to share. I'm all for people sharing a different point of view so long as they do it in the calm manner that you have. I agree with you that death does need to be discussed and dealt with especially in the case of cf. I suppose I'm simply saying...

I've just chatted with Allie and wanted to post that I find her to be quite friendly and understanding. I support her opinions 100%. She's a cool kid.

Thank you so much for supporting me. I truly cannot believe a thread dedicated to motivating those who may have been looking for it turned into pooping in people's gas tanks. I am, however, happy to see the positive responses this has received, and these were what I intended to bring out from...

That was me above, and I meant to not to say "stay locked." whoops. Please no sarcasm about ASFAB scores.

I don't do a lot of posting at this forum or any other CF forum. Most of my time here is just spent reading the posts I think I can learn a thing or two from. I wanted to post something and maybe get an "amen" or two from the crowd if I'm lucky. I'm not going to say anyone is wrong or any...

Unfortunately, there is the ban on the use of cruel and unusual punishment on our prisoners, and I think testing drugs on them would be cruel and unusual. That's just my opinion though. To the original question, the best way I heard this idea put was like this: When it comes to giving a 12 year...

www.cff.org/greatstrides is where you can sign up. Search for the point pleasant walk.

Is anyone going to be at the Great Strides walk in Point Pleasant New Jersey on May 21?

Thanks for all of your help! I'm a huge fan of the Chai Cream Frap at Starbucks, so I'll be checking those out more frequently. Julie's husband looks like he put a lot of effort into his weight gain, so I'll be modelling a bit after him (as far as the eating goes...not enough time to work out...
