So, what's the gimmick, Frank? Where's the trap door, Frank, or are you
telling me that you had an epiphany? Has the spirit of organic gardening
touched and softened your free-market soul? In any event it does my
heart good to see you post this article, or maybe it's just that I've
just returned from having my big heart roto-rootered at Kaiser in San
Francisco, to give me another 100,000 miles on my ol' ticky-ticker.

No, but I too don't like the idea of the seed market being taken over
like this.
A few years ago I told a guy from Pioneer Seed at the PA farm show after
DuPont had taken them over that I was retired from DuPont. He told me
that DuPont was ruining the company with their emphasis on safety.
I got my angioplasty with stents over 4 years ago. So far, so good
Ah, brothers under the skin ;O)
Besides those, I've got a plate with 5 screws in my shoulder, wires left
over from closing chest and a titanium clot filter in my inferior vena
cava - maybe 10 pieces of metal, total. This is not even adding dental
stuff. Takes your mind off important stuff like gardening.
Sounds like you are safe from MRIs.
You know, I'm not sure, as I don't think any of these parts are
magnetic. I know the clot filter isn't and plate in collarbone is just
under the skin and does not attract a magnet. Not sure about the stents
or chest wires. I'll have to ask my cardiologist when I see her in a
couple of weeks. Never had an MRI but have had enough xrays and CT
scans that I oughta glow in the dark.
I know that they went through a long list of things before my MRI this
week. I don't know what they would have done if I had had metal parts
in me. Somehow the surgeons just remove stuff and don't replace it.
I'm wondering if there are other parts I can live comfortably without
and have them removed before they start acting up.
