Todd' one of the reasons I reclused from this web site is because I had three members of my immediately family die and I needed to deal with funeral homes and I actually had to ask this list for donations and the people that I thought would help, did just did and I don't remember seeing Todd Tarno's name even as much as a salutation. I'm not picking on you but I know this, If you send a e-mail to Jim or anyone else on this list your email will eventually be answered. This is an amazing web site and if you are not satisfied with your business here, you can always go some where else and I guarentee you'll not find as many people who for you, I'm sorry your a quad, and is every one else is too. So please stop gripping because you feel your 2 cents are not heard, because it is heard. and we all love you and your e-mail gets heard. This was Jim" dream and he could not be able to manage it on his on. We all keep it working. So be carefull when you insinuate. Your friend Rick Ashford.

We do enjoy reading ALL of your e-mails. I'm sadden that I'm unable to answer a few of your e-mails because of how TM has hit you. But, you are right that this site doesn't have many quads, like you & Jim. I'm amazed at ALL of your's e-mails. What it must take just to write an e-mails. Both of you DO write wonderful long e-mails. I do treasure each & everyone of your e-mails. I have trouble keeping up with this site, more power to you to do more than one sit.

I said I IDENTIFY more. I feel as though I offended you by saying this. There are issues and concerns of being a quad they are not addressed in the TM site and I would imagine it's because most people on this site are not quadriplegics. I go where I can find the information that helps me. If I did not want to be on this site, I could simply delete it from my contacts. There is nothing holding me back. I have asked questions on here regarding autonomic dysflexia, only to have no one respond. Because I later found out that it's a medical condition for quadriplegics, so I went to the paraplegic/quadriplegic site to get the answers I needed. I'm sure Jim uses these sites, HE CREATED THEM! Where is his hostility?? He knew that there would be a need for additional information, and that's all it is, is additional information. I have been a member of this site, since I came home from the hospital in 2006, but I am always looking for any and all information that could be of help to me (as I'm sure all of us would be). There are people that use this site that are also members on the Yahoo Transverse Myelitis site. Should they just pick one or the other. I have met many people through this site, one who has become my best friend who has TM. I would not trade that for anything, but your e-mail makes me feel as though I am unwelcomed or a traitor of sorts. This brings me to tears. As I have poured my heart out on this site (reluctant to make my personal problems public), but felt comfortable enough to share with others who are, also suffering with relationship problems, pain and depression. That won't happen again. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, Jun 17, 2009 4:26 am Subject: Re: [TMIC] Transverse Myelitis Network Then what is holding you back? Why don't you simply quit this site and use the other one that you say you prefer? What's the big deal? Jude In a message dated 6/15/2009 2:11:29 P.M.

Although I have TM, which left me a quadriplegic, I identify more with the members of the paraplegic quadriplegic site then with the members of the TM site.
