Judith and Dorothy,
Do you realize that everyone on the GDO listserve has received your
personal emails? I doubt that you really want us all to be party to these
and I know I don't want to be receiving them. I don't know how to respond
without sending this to everyone, myself, so maybe someone on the
listserve could help us all out on this?

>>2) I need to learn about lung transplants, in particular how to choose

>>
>>I wouldn't even know where to begin here, so anything people can point

>>4) Anyone have any good anger reducing techniques? I just need to find
