You have probably posted it but, can you tell us how we can make a contribution to your charity that is approaching the cure for this disease? <BR/>Hope Rifkin gets back soon.<BR/>love,Shawnshawnandjaikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318160801659724355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16789804.post-82279406770487815832008-04-10T10:46:00.000-06:002008-04-10T10:46:00.000-06:00Dan,Congrats on the good numbers - may they hold s...Dan,<BR/>Congrats on the good numbers - may they hold steady.<BR/><BR/>This "foreign donor" is stateside again - does that make me a "domestic donor"?

Very rare times, but still sometimes they might have one tiny little idea, that might even be a good one, about which you can think and then talk with YOUR Doctor. But most of all make sure, you always can see Rifin again and continue his cure.<BR/>And the next step is to get immune against the lack of diplomacy and elegancy those other doctors often have, sometimes even teaching them those two important behaviours in life.<BR/>Next time you see this Doctor, ask him, whether he has siblings? If yes, then ask him, how he refers to them? If now, aks him: if he had some, how he would refer to them?<BR/>Diplomacy is one of the most important behaviours you need when talking to Doctors, always, because you never know, when you might need who in case of emergency.<BR/>Try not to get hurt by those exclamations, be superior as you ARE.<BR/>You have so much healing going on inside of you, don't waste time with this kind of wounds.<BR/><BR/>And congrats for the good blood results, what more do we want?<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>IngridIngridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977498636876206488noreply@blogger.com
