Hello everyone...I am new to this group and have a question. I don't know
much about this condition, but I am thinking my sister-in-law may have it or

I'll be gone for a few weeks --- I *am* going to do something
that I've been wanting to do for years, go cheer Lance Armstrong
on as part of the crowd alongside the roads at the Tour de France

Here's the history, so far . .

I am so fed up with the home my mother is in. She is TOTALLY out of it,
so she can't complain if anything is wrong. I noticed about 6 months ago
