    • Interests

      I like the outdoors, am still an avid hunter(with help). I hunt with a bow, rifle and shotgun. I also like birdwatching and wildlife watching along with any activities my kids are involved in. i might also have a little devil in me as my grandma says. if it interests you join the ethical hunters and supporters group. all you need is an interest in nature.

      From WalkingThroughLife Yesterday

      Good sunny morning, Dr. Dave!
      I hope that it's as warm and gorgeously sunshiny out there as it is out here today!
      Thanks for the name of that med- tysabri- I'll look it up.
      One question that I forgot to ask the doc- do you build up a resistance to it? Sounds like he thought you would and that is why you went off it? And I guess that he's suggesting that Ted's developed a resistance to the Rebif, then? I wonder whether one could go back and forth.... on tysabri until you become resistant, then back to Rebif.... then back to tysabri when you become resistant to the Rebif? Have you heard of anything like that? Hunches?
      Very cool to hear that tysabri worked so incredibly well for you, though!!!!
      Have a great day! Feel free to send me a six-pack from work! : )
      love,
      Cecilia

      From ddeadred Yesterday

      Hang in there Dave!!! Seems that when I worked, the training never ended... There are always something new or someone new... Certainly, my teaching background helped...

      It's just same ole same ole on the farm this time of year... I'm already thinking about the cooking I'll be doing for T-day... I enjoy it but it certainly takes all of my energy... Really kindof a pity as the Miller boyz just hog it down so quickly--those boyz need to slow down whne they are eating!!

      Hang in there, retirement is just around the corner, and I promise, you'll be so buzy you'll wonder HOW you ever worked!!! xoxoxo Cj
