I have a cold. I've had it for a couple weeks. I'm laying in bed watching DVDs of an old series called "LA LAW" for days. Other than that I'm fine. How about you?
Just Donated $200 To Send Hellouser To Japan.

I have a cold. I've had it for a couple weeks. I'm laying in bed watching DVDs of an old series called "LA LAW" for days. Other than that I'm fine. How about you?
And those 32,000 points takes TWO PEOPLE (not just me) all the way to New York in that sleeper car. I used my points to get the tickets to go to New York and she's using her points to get the tickets for our return trip.
These guys are saying no woman could possibly be interested in me but actually the woman thinks I'm pretty smart. She was surprised at how easy it was to get these tickets. She said to me, "I like the way you think".
I'm doing the same thing with a male friend of mine. I'm using airline rewards points to take us to Florida this January and he's using his Amtrak rewards points to bring us back (Yes, in a sleeper car) home. We'll be in Florida for January and February.

Sorry to hear you have a cold. I am doing spectacular. When you come to Florida, what activities do you have planned?
We're planning to see Disneyworld, Universal Studios, Cape Canaveral to watch a rocket blast-off, and Key West. We're looking at signing up with (last minute) cruise deal companies to get a trip to Bimini and The Bahamas. If it's financially feasible we could cruise to someplace like Cozumel or Martinique or St. Lucia. We're also going to Silver Springs and we might take a kayak ride in the mangrove rivers, depending on alligator/crocodile risk.
We're debating whether or not to go to Discovery Cove and Sea World but we both have some concerns with the thing about keeping the whales in captivity. I'm not sure if I'm so opposed I won't go to SeaWorld and Discovery Cove though. I've been told that Seaworld and Discovery Cove are great places to see.

Sounds like a fun trip. Are you going to the new Volcano Bay at Universal? Make sure you visit Disney Springs if you go to Disney. I heard Discover Cove is fun. You should go to Busch Gardens instead of Sea World. Last minute cruises are really cheap and you can port out of Key West, Cape Canarveral, Abilene or Fort Lauderdale. The weather in Florida in January and February is great. You will enjoy yourself. Carnival cruises are cheap and great food. Air boating in the Everglades is nice when you go in the winter months. No mosquitos.
The thing about Discovery Cove that really attracts me is SeaVenture. Have you heard of it? Here's a utube video about it:
SeaVenture is one of the things you can do at Discovery Bay. You have to get a ticket for Discovery Bay in order to get to do SeaVenture. The ticket for Discovery Bay is about $250 or $300 and it gives you 14 days entry into Seaworld. I want to do SeaVenture but if i do it will cost me almost $300 for the Discovery Bay ticket. I can't justify spending that much money on SeaVenture unless I also take advantage of the option to go to SeaWorld.
We're going to get the universal studio multi-day pass so we should go to Volcano Bay. I haven't heard about Disney Springs. I'll have to start reading about it. I've heard a lot about Busch Gardens and I do think it would be better than SeaWorld but I'm realy attracted to that darn SeaVenture at Discovery Cove and I don't want to spend $300 just to get SeaVenture. If I do Busch Gardens instead of Seaworld I'll also skip SeaVenture. I have a lot of other people telling me I should go to Busch Gardens instead but they like SeaVenture when I show it to them on the internet.
Tell me what's great about Busch Gardens? I'm trying to make up my mind between SeaWorld/Discovery Bay and Busch Gardens.

If you go scuba diving or snorkeling in the Keys or on a cruise, you can skip Discovery Cove and save alot of money. If you like rides and beer, you will like Busch Gardens which is the same company as Sea World. Sometimes you can get a two day pass from Busch Gardens and use it at Sea World if they still offer that deal but it may just be for Florida Residents. One day at Sea World is all you need so I would see if they offer the two day pass to both Sea World and Busch Gardens.

I'll cut and paste some of his posts, and email them to you.
I hope you two have a great time. I can't wait to go to Florida come January. And then next summer I take my trip to New York with the lady.

Fresh-squeezed orange juice (re: not pasteurized) in Florida in January is the 8th wonder of the natural world.
I know this because I go regularly, my sister and her two kids live there.
I can't wait. I'll think of you in January when I'm drinking fresh-squeezed orange juice.
I'm also looking forward to seeing Disneyworld's new "Avatar Land".

I was just pulling your chain a little. I'll delete my post now. You should delete yours too. It's been a long boring day and I wanted to make sure everyone is still here.

I just donated $100 and encourage other members to donate as well. I've been out of the country on vacation and just caught up with this thread. I must say it's an absolute shame that Hellouser's integrity got questioned, especially after his great work from last year and the fact that he's such an active senior member of this community. He has as much of a stake in the fight as anyone and I really respect him for taking his vacation days to go to this conference.
For all of you reading these posts and thinking, "Hmm yeah why should I donate if I'm going to get the same information?", yes it's a f*****g collective action problem. Few will give but everyone will benefit all the same. However, I guarantee you that if everyone had the aforementioned mindset, and 0 people donated, then Hellouser would not go to this conference year after year and provide us with useful information. It's crucial that you donate. Even if it's just $25 or so, many of us likely spend that much on a slow weekend at the bars.
I know you already know this Hellouser but please find out as much as you can about Tsuji. I just really want to know if they're still on track with their 2020 commercialization plan.

I HAVE that book. Never read it though.

Nameless - you donated with your friend's credit card, remember? Why would you dispute a charge on your own card?

THANK YOU!!
And yes, I'll be doing everything I can to get any kind of news from Tsuji. Once the congress rolls in, it'll be roughly a year since our last update from them via gourmetstylewellness.com so a follow up would be good timing then, I'm sure the gourmetstylewellness.com admin will help me out with setting up a meeting with them in some form.
Don't worry though, everything and anything I can do, I will do at the congress.

Do you think you'll be able to raise the funds?
I just checked and it isn't even at a third of the goal yet.

I think so, we still have a lot of time left to hit the mark and that figure is the absolute maximum. Another hundred or so bucks and I can safely book my flight and reduce the costs by a bit.
hellouser, do you think it's possible that some other company besides the ones already listed in pipeline might announce that they're working on a new treatment during the congress? And if so, please do investigate more and tell us all about it after you're back. I personally have the biggest hopes about Shiseido, Samumed and of course Tsuji's treatments, but it would be exciting to see more treatments under development. I believe that the more options we have the better, regardless of how they are. Even Minoxidil being as evil as it is still helps a huge amount of people.
