• Interests: [MWCLTonline] is: SoBankBeacon on Yahoo, SoBankQueenBee on Live Messenger, and MWCLTonline on Windows Live... 54 yo, SGWM, tested HIV+-1991-same as "Magic", 5th Anniversary-1996-AIDS diagnosed- "Coming OUT of Hiding: A Retrospective Journey thru AIDS...", 10th!-2001-Millenium-Part II: "I Never Expected to LIVE this Long!?", 15th-2006-New Home:A Homeless Travelogue-Therapy, and after surviving 18 years here in 2009: Part III:"WTF: Now! I'm gonna Live...!?" As they say, Dyin' is the Easy part!
• Favorite Quotes: I spent all those years post-diagnosis planning and preparing to die; wrote a Will, established a Trust Agreement (MWCLT), Vowed to publish a Book! Make the Grand Gesture (as 'Jim' would say...) & hope like hell you'd Create a lasting Legacy... Easy; after all, I wudn't have to worry about the hard part of finishing & publishing since I'd be dead! Then my excellent HIV Doc proudly proclaims: HIV/AIDS isn't going to kill you-it's well managed, Viral Load Undetectable and T/CD4 Cells up!
• Anything Else: Now what could kill us are stress, hypertension/HiBP, lipidemia/Cholesterol, Smoking, Poor Nutrition and all the usual post 50 male maladies. Get all that under control and you may see your 80's... "I used to be afraid of dying, I'm not anymore. I'm more afraid of what happens to the people who live..." from "And The Band Played On" "HIV is something you'll Live with every day for the Rest of your Life. You may never die of it/AIDS, but you'll always die with it..." mwcltonline.spaces.com
