Taking that long to find home might be "Alzheimer's ." So are bad jokes the result of "Wisenheimer's" ;D It seems Yale has been doing a Clinical study of Wisenheimer's Disease I thought of you Muddy. There may be hope for you after all! The Yale Journal for Humanities in Medicine Chicago (January 20, 2007) Entitled Wisenheimer's Disease, an exhibition of photomontages by James F. Cleary, B.F.A., as part of its ongoing Anatomy in the Gallery contemporary art program. The exhibitions will run concurrently, opening on February 2, 2007, with a free, public reception from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. and remaining on view through April 20, 2007. Both these medical expertsDettmer with the meticulous precision of a neurosurgeon and Cleary with the evident glee of a mad scientist offer their expert opinion for those in need. Postoperative features a variety of objects that have gone under Dettmer's knife, including 11 serious addicted bass fishermen that he dissected one layer at a time by carving through their covers and excising everything but images and ideas of interest to reveal the hidden relationships of their innards. Also on display will be a skull and a full-size, anatomically correct human skeleton that Dettmer molded from cassette tape shells for AC/DC's Back in Black and other such albums, reinterpreting the phrase dead medium. Wisenheimer's Disease comprises a series of stages of the progressive stages depicting Cleary's apocalyptic vision of humankind's degeneration resulting from Do It Yourself **** Improvement. Although the monstrous creatures that Cleary produces by reconfiguring and satirically defacing these former bass addicts offer harsh criticism of body modification and genetic engineering, the surgeon confesses that he suffers from the same disease as the scientists he condemnshe simply delights in making monsters. Cleary counts as his greatest artistic influences his older brother's college anatomy textbooks and Mad Magazine collection, which he discovered simultaneously at the age of five. He received his titular B.F.A. from the School of the Bass Massters' Institute in Chicago in 1990 and now resides in Minneapolis, where his work has been shown at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and Rogue Buddha Gallery. HE, HE, Got you!

Don't forget and NO excuses! ;D

I am glad to here you are doing better LBH. Support is always welcome especially when we are in pain. Speaking of pain and it being April 16 the day after so to speak, my part after my insurance paid 80% of all my medical bills my part for last year came to $18,000. Now that was a completely new level of pain don't you know. Oh well, if I did not spend it on medical I would just splurge it all away on top of the line fishing gear that would leave me with no excuses for why I didn't catch any fish on a particular day. Then where would I be? : Hope you keep improving!

We are our brothers keeper.

I know about meds having a morning basket and a night basket. The morning basket has only four bottles of must take with two bottles of as needed. The night basket has six bottles of must takes with four bottles of as needed and I HATE taking pills but what are you going to do? If I could convert my pill budget into my reel budget I could get all new top of the line Shimano Stella, Calcutta DC and Calais DC Casting reels. Then I could show off to Roadwarrior. However, I would be unable to use them. There is always that catch 22. Hope you are feeling better LBH. I have one of my meds if I forget to take it I get a reminder of a symptom similar to having a migraine and being sea sick at the same time and believe me you DO NOT want to go there so I feel for you.

On a trial basis, I am back but in an extremely limited capacity.
