6. Thank you for helping disabled people.
We need all the help we can get. It was funny she had to take off her shoes to talk on the microphone. I feel sorry for her really she was really off that day, you could see how bad she has this disease. Let me know how it goes.

8. I will PM you, if that's ok.
My agency rocks. We supply power chairs and other durable medical equipment AND refurbished computers FREE to people who otherwise could not leave their homes. The computers have made an unbelievable difference in the lives of about 100 people in my county.

One woman who had a skin/nerve disorder found a doctor online (we gace her a computer) in CA who connected her with a doctor in our area who was doing reasearch on her disorder. Together, they established an organization of which she became the ex. director. Last year she couldn't even lay if bed due to the pain, this year she's helping others.

7. Is That A Reservation Thing???
I DIDN'T hear about her being here. I get updates from the Purple Cow about who is going to speak, but that ain't the Ritz!!

10. Sank You Veddy Veddy Much!
I have an appointment at 10:30 AM tomorrow, but she would be interesting to see.

I recently saw here talking on C-Span, BUT the little I saw, she was complimentary of The Idiot! I'm sure she's not that RW though!
