Besides what I wrote earlier, Nikki, that many "old friends" just drop
away because your condition makes them too aware of the instability of
human health and affairs, I would add the following advice, learned from
personal experience.

Nikki, just been reading Dalton's words and I totally agree with his response
to "how are you". I always say "fine". This is partly for the reason he

Hi All,
Have a question...how does the weather affect your TM? I have a friend
who is moving from Florida and isn't sure where she is going yet. She wants
to find a place where she is free from pain and where her husband can find
work.
I told her about Michigan, but don't know about oth
The Northeast is probably the best bet for jobs, and with its temperate
climate, OK w.r.t. pain, but it experiences lots of allergies, pressure
changes and weather extremes.
The other shot is the Pacific Northwest to the West of the Cascades, ifand

when I am in excruciating pain. This ™ has ruined my life, and I'm pissed!

that usually shuts them up.

Dalton,
You make some very insightful observations. Like you, whenever I'm asked
how I'm doing, I usually just say I'm "plugging along" and don't
elaborate unless asked. You are so right about not dwelling on the
bad... the depression associated with TM is daunting enough and
continuing to re
Living in northern California is probably one of the most amiable
climates - close to just about everything you can ask for... warm in the
spring/summer/late fall, close to the ocean (about 50 minutes away -
same for the big city, San Francisco), about 4 hours from the snow in
winter (Tahoe or
When they say you look good retort that no one is perfect.

Susan, you can't win. When I was frustrated enough to let my feelings show
with a particular "friend" the patronising response was that "people change
