******************************************************************************

Lyme Disease is now the fastest growing infectious disease in the United
States.  In 10 short years, this little known bacterial infection has claimed
half a million victims and the number of new patients continues to spiral
upward with no relief in sight.  It is estimated that in 1991, 100,000
Americans contracted this dangerous disease.  If left untreated, LD can cause
permanent nerve, musculoskeletal and cardiac damage.

Unfortunately, many in the medical and political arenas have not given this
epidemic much thought.  Self appointed experts in the academic community have
declared that LD can always be cured with short courses of simple antibiotics.
However, as the number of cases rise, doctors on the front lines are
discovering that LD is more serious that previously suspected, requiring longer
treatment therapies and more complex combinations of medicines.  The battle
lines have been drawn.

And the battles continue at LD conferences, and in the various State
legislatures where insurance companies, terrified at the high cost of LD, are
attempting to short change patients.  Estimates show that the average cost of
treatment for chronic LD patients ranges from $60,000 to $100,000 per patient.

MAILING LIST:
To keep up with the latest developments, including new treatment protocols,

Excuse me... Perhaps I would know if I lived within a few thousand miles of

The US postal service won't deliver mail with Canadian stamps on them
for the same reason that Spain won't deliver letters with Japanese
stamps on them -- you didn't pay the postal service in the originating
country.

There is a way around this.  There is such a thing as an "International
Reply Coupon", which can be purchased at any post office.  You enclose
this coupon with your letter to the US.  Your recipient can exchange
this coupon at a US post office for US postage.

Hello!
   Some kids of workers from our firm were in Belgium this summer.
This visit was act of help for Russian children who lived in regions

difficulties
to contact with  new friends in Belgium by post. (There are many
new troubles in Russia, but work of post office in country and abroad
is very old problem). If somebody can help to resend some children's

that 'll be wonderful present for all children.
Answer me and I will email letters with addresses of Belgium families.

Whoops, let's make that Los Angeles! Don't get me involved in any wars on 
typing.

With that said, does anyone know the true name? If you want the answer 
before I post it this weekend, email me.

Of course, if I email you the answer I'm sure you won't suddenly post a

Yes, the club is an idiotically overdesigned device.  There's no
need for a thick steel rod with a lock to protect a plastic and
vinyl hoop.

The question is not one of absolute security, but RELATIVE security.

You are a car thief.  You are in a parking lot.  There are two cars
that you would like to steal.  One of them has a club, the other one
does not.  All other factors being equal, which one do you go for?

As in most crime prevention matters, the object is not to obtain
a particular absolute level of protection.  The object is to help the
criminal choose to victimize someone else.

The longest known palindrome word is "SAIPPUAKIVIKAUPPIAS" which is 
Finnish for a dealer in lye.

Also, in the English language the longest known is "REDIVIDER" and 
"RELEVELER".

Others include "MALAYALAM" which is a proper noun with Malayali people. 
"DETARTRATED" which is a chemical term. And "KANAKANAK" which is a town 
in Alaska.

International Reply Coupons are a RIPOFF!!!
You only get back about 2/3 of what you paid for them in 
postage stamps (if that much).

A better solution for Canadians would be to order U.S. stamps
by mail from:

                        U.S. Postal Service
                        Philatelic Sales Division
                        Washington, DC 20265

Mastercard and Visa are acceptable as payment.

Americans can order Canadian stamps by mail from:

I got my copy in a second-hand bookstore.

Samples:

Plus there are some amazing and psychedelic poems, some

Some people on my local group were saying a CLUB locking device can

apparently doesn't take that long.
Does anyone want to add anything to that, in terms of whether people

Now I'm confused.  When I send a letter to Canada, I go to a US Post
Office and buy a US stamp made in the USA.  When someone in Canada
or overseas sends me a letter, it's got whatever the local postage
unit is on it (only a more expensive denomination).  At least I think
it does.  I'm not sure how international mail delivery could work

national mail recently.  Do I now need to put both Canadian and
American stamps on letters to friends in Toronto?
