BellaOnline Forums News and Politics Democratic Party Capitalism: A Love Story

My latest article is a review of the film--http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art53337.asp/zzz. Do you plan to see it? Have you already seen it? If so, what did you think?

Thanks,
Susan

Hope to get a chance to see it very soon. Thanks for the review - makes me even more anxious.

I'm looking forward to it myself - great article, Susan! I find MM's perspective to be so clear and concise - he's Old America's loyal watch dog and he needs more action from us!

I'd love to be posting more here, but I've been ill. I would still like to see us write MM a letter about his sponsoring a virtual march, if you all are still into it...

Shannon

Shannon,

Sorry to hear you are not well. I could not get on to your post regarding fibrmyalgia (something you might want to check out) so I assume you suffer from that painful condition. I hope that you are finding ways to manage it if so - and I will keep you in my thoughts.

Regarding the virtual march - I am still interested as well as reaching out to MM and anyone else that might have a voice loud enough to be heard. My mother had a hip replcement one month ago so I have been very busy with her recovery, plus all else life has for us to contend with everyday, but she is healing fast now and hope to be able to return my attention to this question.

Wishing you improved health.

Susan and Shannon,

Let's talk about the virtual march idea when Shannon is feeling better. I have no idea how to begin such an endeavor, but I think once we get past that hurdle, we may actually be able to do something.

Thanks,
Susan

Sounds like a plan and in meantime I will try to find some information about launching a virtual march

Susan, I'm sorry to hear about your mother - I do hope she has a speedy recovery. I would very much like to be involved in getting things set up to present to MM when the timing is right for everyone.

(I actually have CFS, but not fibro - they are really two very different illnesses that have been lumped together in the medical community's "your symptoms aren't real" file. Which thread couldn't you open? I started three...)

Shannon

Susan, I'm sorry to say that I can't be certain if/when I will be feeling better - each day is different and unpredictable with CFS. But I'd be happy to do my part as I am able - do any of us have a picture of what the virtual march might look like? Perhaps it could even be a real march with the inclusion of virtual members. We can each present the idea to friends and family to get more minds into the brainstorm. If we can get a semi-plan created and culminate it into a letter form, I'd be happy to send it off to MM for a response.

Would you be interested in drafting the final letter once we get the idea mapped out?

Shannon

Shannon,

It was the post regarding XMRV retro-virus - that was yesterday and it is fine now.

My mom is doing very well - thanks for the well wishes.

I understand that CFS can be quite debilitating and very different person to person and day to day - I have a friend with it as well. She gets a great deal of relief from meditation and yoga - it seems to me that she out thinks all of the aches, pains and whatever else she suffers through. If you have not tried or considered it perhaps a good yoga/meditation instructor might help - of course this is coming from just one person I know and I have no real knowledge of the disease so I would never presume to offer any real insight - so forgive me - I am just passing along second hand information.

Shannon,

Please forgive me -- I was in a rush and did not read everything posted before I replied to your original "I've been ill."

I currently have no idea what the march could be; I'd be very happy to write the final letter.

Susan
