[nagdu] EXTERNAL:Re: Link to the GMA piece

Fri Aug 27 10:24:01 UTC 2010

seriously, years ago people were dying from kidney failure, up until the 70s 
unless you were rich and could have it done without the science out there I 
could have died a very sickly death without dialysis, no it is not fun but I 
lived to have a kidney transplant.  And I am here.

Science is all about star trek and other options, look we will be driving a 
car at convention next year why not seeing with our tongues.

geez louize that is becoming my new statement now.

The biggest compliment you can pay me is to recommend my services!
