This board has been a refuge to me and a wonderful source of information in my plight against this wicked ailment.
Along the way, I have met (and am still meeting ) many great people!!!
We (Wife and 2 daughters, 14 and 10) will be seeing āRockysmomā (aka Kelley)ā¦as she and her clan venture up to the great Northwest for a visit during the summer!!!
I will be taking them on a personal pike fishing trip (guided by yours truly :mrgreen: ) and cheffing up a dinner to die for:
New York steaks drizzled with gorgonzola sauce on the back deck overlooking the pine treesā¦coupled with grilled veggies with spices on them and topped off with a Northwest specialtyā¦ homemade Huckleberry Cheesecake with homemade vanilla ice-cream. Then, off to the fire pit for some amber ales and red wine and good conversation If we are fortunate (we live in the tulles), we will see some deer, moose, turkey, etc out and about).
My analytical mind was thinkingā¦if you bring two dizzies together, you might have the same effect as having two antibodies with similar ailments but with a common goal ieā¦Antibody genes also re-organize in a process called class switching that changes the base of the heavy chain to another, creating a different isotype of the antibody that retains the antigen specific variable region. This allows a single antibody to be used by several different parts of the immune system. Henceā¦WE ARE MAGICALLY HEALED!! Orā¦we just get buzzed by the fire pit drinking some beer and wine and have some good conversation and meet some new friends from around the country. :mrgreen: Todd
Hey, Since Todd is cooking, I say the more the merrier!!
Iāve been lucky enough to meet 3 people with MAV and they are all awesomeā¦but sorry Todd, there was no big bang happening that made as better! Maybe the huckleberry cheesecake will be the catalyst?
If Kelley has enough wine in her, I am sure she will be willing to karioke a Bon Jovi or Eagles tune for us all by the bon fire. If itās any good, I will pitch $5 bucks into the pot to get the ball rollingā¦ :mrgreen:
Iāll make a roast dinner, do proper fish and chips with your catch and a Full English for breakfast followed by a million cups of tea - and not that Lipton crap you lot drink!! :lol:
Todd,
If we have any hopes of seeing any wildlife at all, donāt ask me to sing. NO matter what. The only thing I do worse than sing, is danceā¦have you seen Elaine from Seinfeld dance? She looks like a Pussycat Doll next to me.
Oh, that sounds like wonderful fun! Weāre just on the other side of the state. Which is a lot closer than London or Sydney!
The kid is still doing well. His symptoms edged up once in a while (he missed one day of school after Easter because he was too dizzy), but mostly it all seems to be under control.
I would love to have a MAV āconferenceā with Toddās good cooking. We sort of had a mini version earlier this year here in Sydney with me, Vic, and Gabrielle at Bronte beach. Given most are in the US, maybe the most central place to have such a meeting is California. Somewhere warm!

Sign me up Scott!
I think it would be great! Although most people like Las Vegas, so I"m in a good spot for people to come to meā¦lolā¦although with all the lights and sounds etcā¦itās prob not the best for Mavāers. What about Lake Como in Italy? We can ask George Clooney to host.
Kelley
) many great people!!!
