Anna Rocket, where are you?

Hey Heather,

Nice of you to be concerned. I really got the warm and fuzzies when I read your post.I felt like you really cared and that truely means a lot to me.

I've been pretty ill. For my daughter's 18th birthday we took her to California and stayed on Manhattan Beach. Then we took her to Universal Studios and really had a good time. I pushed myself so hard that I became severly symptomatic on our return and I have been recooperating since. I have been in the hospital for severe rectal bleeding and dehydration. They thought they might have to operate but the good Lord has spared me that. That crummy hopital has no cable and a crappy dial up but I am home now and I will be on every day! You never know how much you miss your high speed connection till you don't have it,LOL!

I really appriciate your thoughts,and want you to know I feel you have made a positive contribution to our forum,despite our differences of opinion on Lisa Lambert. Thank you so much again for your thoughts and now that I'm home we will talk a lot.

Heather, When you think and hear about the Crohn's disease think about Gerri, she also had the disease and went through a really bad time, had just recently gotten out of the hospital prior to her death, for syptoms related to the Crohn's .

Well thank you Heather .. you gave me warm fuzzies too! But when you think about it, that's the true meaning of free speach. That is what our founding fathers meant when they created the first amendment. We may not agree with what a person says, thinks, or feels, but by God, I'll fight to the death to make certain that they have the right to say it. You (and everyone else) have every right to be here, regardless of what your views are, as long as you follow the rules, which you have done. (uhh ... BTW .. I did a little editing on a few of your first posts .. just to take out a cuss word which I'm suprised the board let go through .. not a bad one .. just not one we want to use. I hope that you understand:)

Mr. Jones did NOT follow the rules and was banned for harrassing members and being outright hostile and threatening towards other members of the board. I felt sad in seeing him go as he had so much to offer but he is so consumed with grief and hate that he can't see past it. I pray for the family every night.

Anyway, it really is good to see you here. Diversity as well as debate is what makes the world go around, and you and I both know we could debate until hell freezes over. But I must let you know that I have found some of your posting intriguing and would like to read more so I may have to jump over to your site when I get a chance ... God only knows when that will be ..but I'll try to get over there soon I promise.....

Talk to you soon!

Anna and Jilly, sorry it took me so long to get back to you gals, but I've been really sick myself.

As weird as this may sound, the symptoms I have are very similar to Crohn's disease. I take medication for ulcers as well, so it might just be a bleeding one. But in addition to feeling like something the dog drug in, I'm losing my hair as well. It's frightening. Does anybody out there know what causes hair loss!? If so, please enlighten me! I'm afraid to comb my hair at this point because when I do, tons of hairs are in it! The stress from losing my hair, I think is causing more of it to come out! Thanks, Jill, for letting me come here and post such long posts. I apprectiate it more than you know. I think it speaks to both of our sites that we have come so far from where we were. And our acceptance of each other has become something to be proud of. We've learned from each other as well. This message board beats the pants off of talkback, the Lancaster message board. They don't like anybody posting transcripts from Dalzell's hearing.

Although the transcripts are all on my site, I sometimes post relevant parts here to prove a point, and because I realize some people don't have the patience to wade through so much to find a particular bit. I thank you so much for letting me do that. Lancaster's message board banned me for doing that. It was when I posted information about Savage's movie deal with Republic Pictures, that they put a kabosh on my membership. Savage is second only to Yunkin when it comes to protecting those who would put you away at their whim.

Anna, I read your post with great interest. You came to Manhattan Beach! I live right next door in Redondo! I'm so sorry about your illness. I think I might have the same freakin thing! Without going into graphic detail, certain fluids are showing up where they shouldn't be, if you know what I mean. I'm very scared about it, to be honest. A trip to the doctor is in order, but that scares me too. My father is a doctor, so I'm going to consult with him first, and then take it from there. In the meantime, I'm almost ready to go wig-shopping! Yikes!

Thanks again, Jilly, for everything I have mentioned above. My archives section is up and you might find the e-mails I got in 1998 very interesting. They tell a story of their own, and most of them were from Lancaster.

Let's pray for each other to be healthy and able to keep posting and searching for the truth!

Heather,I am worried about you. I have lost a lot of hair in my Crohn's struggle from medications and I urge you strongly to go to a doctor.I really feel a sense of peace that you and I have come to understanding and given each other the kind of respect that all journalists should have. I really appriciate your thoughts and thank God for our meeting of minds. Take care of yourself. We need you here!
