This is what I see when I log in to my Act Blue account
I ask that in the replies nobody mentions the candidates. This is about the DU and Jackpine Radicals (http://jackpineradicals.org/content.php) doing something extraordinary.
1,638 contributions. $60,030 all to help get 12 Democrats elected since May first.
Everybody pat yourselves on the back.
I doubt I will ever create another Act Blue Link.
It now has been over two years since I was diagnosed with FTD. I am doing better than expected.
With my FTD I will never be the OS I was when I found the DU back in 04.
I have helped other DUers since last May (I thought that would be my last post but so many asked me to stay) that had a family member diagnosed since then. One after reading about FTD realized they needed to take a parent in ASAP.
We went to dinner last night with some family members. A wedding dinner party had an advanced dementia patient. Our table was so busy chatting that nobody else noticed. But it hit me hard.
I've lost some friends here. Caused a hide for one when I was having a bad night. I'm sure most of you have seen a few strange posts. I miss the old OS too.
Anyway I just thought while we celebrate a yuge achievement, I'd let you know my 2 year follow up tests were better than expected. I'll be around longer that I originally thought.
I also have a new room to post my wide variety of subjects over at JPR. It is the Wizard Room. I'm the Wizard of OS there: http://jackpineradicals.org/forumdisplay.php?39-The-Wizard-Room
Warmest regards,
(The Wizard of) OS
