Confessions of a onetime LURKER..oeh eh ohh

Once upon a time I was brand new to the computer world and the scarey, gonna get you internet.
Everybody said, "Donna don't let anyone know your name, your e-mail address or anything personal cause they will sneak to your house and kill you for no reason at all."
So, when my son was having a cycle, I logged on and punched in "cluster headaches", and lo and behold I arrived at this site. Wow. People were using names. Were they, could they be real? Bet not. They're just trying to suck me in.
I finally posted one day. No real name, no e-mail address or any personal info. drummer nailed me real hard. Pissed me off. It was suggested that I was a phoney........not a real cluster person, etc. My feelings were really hurt. So I lurked some more. When I finally realized that these people were genuine, every day posters who had a bond that I had never seen before, who shared their good days and the bad days, cared for each others pain, knew all about each other.......I wanted some.
And I've been here naked ever since.
If the lurkers feel safe with us, they'll join in. In the meantime, let's just live in our own world like always.
If the medical profession or anyone else wants to figure out what's going on here, it won't take long to see that EVERY TIME someone asks for help or suggestions or support THEY GET IT fom us. If no one's asking right now, we do the next best thing.........talk to each other about every day things, joke and complain just as if we were together somewhere.

Cool post Donna,
I post a little to a couple of Techie MB....but this is the only daily, or several times a day, MB I have. I never lurked here...I read the guestbook, cried like a baby and knew I was home.
Wanna see something cool? Click here for a little piece of CH history. If you read into the thread you will find a post from some new guy named jonny... ;D Taking up for family! Way cool!

a bigger point to that link, Mark, is that what we go through here about lurkers, irregular posters, cliques, etc. etc. is not a NEW problem. It recurs about every couple of months.
The person that posted that on the MGH board was/is a very trouble soul who deals with a bunch of problems other than clusters.
(I tried to post her apology that came a few days later, but the link didn't work here.)

You know? I have no problem with lurkers or infrequant posters. Ussually when they do post it's to contribute something and not just ASK for some thing.
Know what I do have a problem with?
CANADIANS!

Just what problem do you have with Canadians?? How many do you have to drink before they become a problem?? LOL
Grant & I prefer Kokannees. You know Kokane in a can!!
As for me - I AM CANADIAN!! (I just don't drink them!) (or maybe you don't get the ad down there, but many of you will understand)
Can't wait for my cycle to end so I can have one (or more).
I still hope your pain free anyway.

And I wish the same for you Ross.
I just dont understand how a Canadian could even have CH what with the stress of the dog sled races and worrying about wether or not your house will melt.
When do Canadians find time to relax ?

Cootie:
Kokanee: It's the beer out here <---that's the slogan
(it's THE western Canadian beer)
It's in a blue and white can and it's made in Creston, B.C. If you look closely at the can you can see the Sasquatch walking down the mountain with a case of beer on his shoulder. (Of course, the more Kokanees you have, the easier this is to see.)
5% alcohol content and a just a lil bit stronger than that Sex by the Sea shit that all y'all drink.
If anyone has any more questions about beer, just ask a Canadian. They'll be the one sitting on the chesterfield. And, no, they probably don't know Bob and Sue from Montreal.
oh and p.s. Saskatchewan doesn't go on daylight savings time because it freaks their cows out. oh HI Ross... 
Alberta girl here. And, FYI: it was ONLY THAT ONE COW that had mad cow disease! 2200 slaughtered cows later!

The folks here in Wisconsin sit on Davenports. The name came from Iowa and I have no idea how or why. Wisconsonites don't know anything about beer either. Or cheese. California is now the cheese capital of America. But we don't care. The state both states smell a lot better now.
We don't know Bob and Sue but do you know Jim and Sally that live next to to them?
Beer question........Coors - ain't that the nastiest stuff you've ever tasted?
Cow question - 2200 cows slaughtered.....why? SARS?
;D

Bob - we found ONE cow who had contracted mad cow disease. She died in January and was never put into the food chain - not even for dog food (contrary to media beliefs).
The news of her death, and the reasons why, got into the media's hands last month and the export of Canadian beef was immediately shut down and testing of other herds began. At first, it was just the herd of that particular rancher. Now it's extended to 2200 head and NOT ONE other cow or steer has tested positive. That's big bucks to a rancher! Our premiers (like your governors) are now seeking relief from Ottawa (our "government" capital) for these ranchers. Some of our ranchers are losing their homes now because of the media's involvement here. I know I know, better safe than sorry, but....enough is enough.
and...don't tell anyone, but....I don't actually mind Coors Lite. I mean, if I need to stay sober for some reason.

Geeze Bob.......The cows were mad (or angry). I don't know what upset them. Maybe they were feed nasty beer, like Old Milwaukee.
