What if "just some" of the energy that was used for posting about "The
Predator" more then 25! (of which I have been very guilty of also, I
admit) had been used INSTEAD to create MORE Public Education about Lyme?
Now I think my time and energy (in hindsight of course!) would have been
better used to write letters to Oprah, my congressman, my mayor,
newspapers, radio stations, my neigbors as Marta did, to warn them about
Lyme, etc. There are 3 people in my neighborhood of 90 homes who have Lyme
I am so ashamed of myself for having spent so much of my limited time and
energy being concerned with people who are self-appointed AOL cops. May I
see a badge please?
I just wanted to harness my energy to HELP people, not harm them. But as
Dennis Miller always says "I could be wrong!'

Maybe we shouldn't be too hard on the psychic spams that have popped
up lately. I could sure use one now to figure out what these people
are talking about. Puzzles and cryptic posts don't do well to a
lyme-fogged brain. Someone please clue me in.

That is such a good one! I must remember that to repeat over and over to
myself while trying to get something accomplished. Will have to look it
up again tomorrow - will forget it in a few minutes probably. Still
laughing...

Denim,
Gosh, I'd love to be able to take credit for this one, but, it originated
in Austin, Texas. Or atleast I always thought so. I don't remember the
history of the theme, but was always on bumper stickers and t-shirts, etc
made there.
I used to think it was amusing; little did I suspect it would become my
personal slogan. Life is so full of surprises.
Anyone out there in Austin? There's a whole new market for those old
momentos (sp?). See what I mean?

Okay, I may be dating myself here, but I did in fact got to Oat Willies in
Austin and buy one of those "Onward Through the Fog" bumperstickers. Yes
Carla, the slogan originated there and if I still had my old guitar case,
I would be able to check to see if they had patented it. From what I
remember, Oat Willies has been closed for quite a long time.

Oat Willies! That synapse in my brain closed down, too! Thanks for hooking
it back up; now I can retrieve those pleasant memories.
