qdebbie -- why did you edit it out?

When I saw the word "disclaimer", I instantly thought of MB (which me chuckle). I find that to be a unique part of her posts, kind of a cyberspace personality attribute [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img] .
Also a reminder that, knowing her (and others) profession, she (and others) is/are not offering medical advice per se. Simply stating their own opinion and views, while also imparting knowledge of topics in threads.
I find disclaimers useful as a reminder to old-timers and newbies, that although comments are made, this is neither a legal nor medical board. This IS a support group. It is easy to forget sometimes when we get caught up in the moment, especially with school issues. We are here to support each other with encouragement, knowledge, empathy and advice among other things.

with only 5 words in my post, i mis typed one.
dork
Disclaimer: Not that you are a dork, or MB, I mean, me, in my own personal unique situation.

awww, lol, I call myself a "dork" all the time. [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/cool.gif[/img]

qdebbie1 --- Oh, I thought you edited out a new disclaimer addition. Thought you were trying out this:
[b]Dont tell me any differently because life is much more fun when you chuckle.[/b]
BTW, I think that is cute -- and correct! It would have been okay if you called me dork -- thought it was funny. As for MB, today she is merciless -- just keep biting.

Followed the thread and read the first page or so. Dag nab it, I've missed the drama. Silly me, I just pop in, read the current day's threads of interest, then go to a Disney online group for my drama. Seriously though, I think group schisms are the norm every few years on the net.

This thread started me thinking about groups one chooses to join. I really appreciate the information and support from this group, but I'd rather not have a reason to be a member (ie. wishing no allergies for my son.) Perhaps that's why I do my worrying with you all, and my socializing elsewhere.

Disclaimers. I thought they were supposed to be humorous. I'd like to think noone would take advice from a stranger on the web without substantiating it, if you know what I mean.

in that case, do you have insight as to what Disney might be like at Fort Wilderness in October? [img]http://uumor.pair.com/nutalle2/peanutallergy/smile.gif[/img]
We've always went in April/May and once in June/July and been pleased as a Mouse with with a 3-D orchestra. I'm kinda hoping the weather will be dry enough to enjoy the outdoors, and warm enough for swimming. And no crowds.
