Not bad manners, just good beer . . . Here here! Lifes too short to drink bad beer.

Well the brain may grow but the size of the skull stays the same. It's my theory that Teddy has increased his brain size to such an extent that it was crushed by the pressure.

"Then again look at Ted Kennedy...oh-KAY, so much for this theory."
Who said the new grown brain cells are SMARTER than the old ones...

"Sorry to hear about your condition. Is heavy drinking a factor in contracting M.S. or was that a side note? I've never heard that."
It was a side note.
To the best of my knowledge drinking doesn't cause it.
They really don't know what causes it. They just know it when they see it.
No one in my family has it. I refused the ABC drugs and Reibif (spelling) and I control it through diet and exercise.
When I found out I had it, I went to a conference. It was sad. People in wheel chairs and canes at all ages were there. I'm fortunate that for whatever reason I'm not in the shape. Anyway the speaker was trying to tell people it only affects white women of European decent and heritage from specific parts of Europe.
I listened for awhile and then I had enough. I raised my hand. I asked him to explain WHY Asians, Blacks, Hispanics and other races, men, women and children have it who are present IN THIS ROOM? He got all flustered and mumbled something about anomalies happen. People in the audiance snickered at him too. He was there to really sell you drugs. Bull! They really don't know what causes it and can't predict who will get it unless a relative already has it and then they play the % game.
So when I see stuff like drinking grows brain cells - that's outrageous! It doesn't . It kills brain cells. Stupid people will take it seriously and totally screw themselves up.

You know I was just thinking in order for my theory to be correct, Teddy would have to have been smart at some point. I don't think I can accept that. Has to be another reason.

You have to first have a brain. Teddy is without so it can't grow.
