Day 6

Today’s I am supposed to post a picture of an animal I would love to own.

I would love to own either of those animals.  If I had a duck I would name him Bob The Duck!!!  I love cats and I think there wouldn’t be anything better than owning a tiger.  They are so pretty and majestic in my eyes.  I would never have the guts to actually own a tiger but I sure wish I could own one that is for sure.

MS Tuesdays

I found this really interesting topic on MS on one of the other blogs I read.  I am not going to quote his blog but I went and found a article on it.  They have found a way to use stem cells to make the myelin sheath around the nerves that is damaged by when the immune system attacks the nerves in MS patients.  The research was done at Universities of Cambridge and Edinburgh.  They found the mechanism to make the stem cells start regenerating myelin around the nerves.  The myelin insulates the nerves like the the plastic that surrounds a copper wire.  When the myelin gets damaged the nerve doesn’t work as well or even work at all.  They are also hoping that the research done with help people develop drugs that will promote myelin repair in MS patients
.
So if there is away to fix what damage has been done then they can reverse the damage and even cure the disease.  Now this has only been done in rats but if they can do it there then they are getting closer to trying it  in humans.  I have always figured that stem cells were going to be the way to helping people with MS and I am so glad to see that it can possible work.

I am out of ideas on what to post about so if you want to know something please leave a comment.  I am not going to do this every week anymore because I don’t know what to post about.  So please leave me comments on what you want to know and I will write it up for next Tuesday.

Saturday Nine & Saturdays With Melissa


Saturday 9: Hard Habit to Break
1. Do you have any habits or rituals at this time of year?
Nope I don’t and that is okay with me.  Since 2008 I hate this time of year so I always just hope it will pass quickly!
2. Polar bears seem to do well in the snow… How about you? Is snow just another thing you deal with when it shows up, or is it shutdown time? …and if you’re posting from a non-snowy locale, do you make trips to actually see snow? It’s okay to admit it…
I hate the snow!!!!!  I am in Utah and I hate driving and even watching it snow.  It always causes idiots to come out of the wood work and cause accidents
3. Tell about a toy you remember from your childhood.
I don’t remember very many things but one thing I remember are my Barbies and Dolls that I used to play with.  I also had a stuffed dog that I loved other than that I don’t really remember much.
4. If you could make one thing in the world absolutely free for everyone, what would it be?
Food!!!!!  There is no reason that people should have to go hungry.
5. Do you live close to your immediate family members? If not, how far away are they?
Ya I live with them because I can’t afford rent because of all my doctor bills.
6. My mom ordered a turkey dinner from a local market. it was o.k., but not very good. how was your turkey (or last holiday meal) this year?
It was good.  I have had 3 that I can think of and they were all good but I do love turkey and chicken.
7. In a one horse open sleigh: Have you ever been on a sleigh ride or a carriage ride? Do you even like horses? Or would you just rather travel by your own two feet?
No I haven’t been on one but I think it would be fun and no I don’t like horses in fact I hate them.
8. What is your favorite Christmas song? …and sung or played by whom? You know, the one you tend to listen for on the radio or hit ‘repeat’ on the player…
I don’t have a favorite Christmas song.  I never have had a favorite either or at least I can’t remember having one.
9. What is your least favorite Christmas song? …and sung or played by whom? You know, the one you tend to skip on the player…
I don’t listen to Christmas music so I don’t have one that I hate.  I only listen to it if someone else is listening to it.
