DOn't laugh at me too much!!!! We had fun doing it. Way to go MaryO!!!!!!!!

This segment:

Interview with MaryO, Cushings-Help.com founder :

Listen as Robin Smith (staticnrg) interviews Mary O'Connor (MaryO), founder of Cushings-Help.com and 20-year pituitary Cushing's Survivor.

I'm listening and you two did great!!!!

What a great way to get awareness out there!

[MaryO]

I was terrified - drinking wine now! - but these chats are going to happen for at least the next 3 weeks, same time, same call in number!

It's up to YOU to call in and tell your story!

[mertie]

Oh, I would be nervous too, Mary! Could I drink the wine FIRST?? haha!

[staticnrg]

Next week is a call-in show!! We want you to call in and tell about your experiences with diagnosis and/or treatment. I know there are plenty of you out there who can talk about that!! We can take 4 callers at a time (MaryO and I will have one host and one call-in slot). But as one finishes another can call in. Much like any call-in radio show!

Hugs!
Robin

Great interview. Very natural and composed. I loved hearing your voices. Beautiful Southern drawl.

Hi Mary
The interview was very good. Great that once again you are making the public more aware of Cushing's.

Who had the southern drawl?

[mertie]

I know you were trying to hide that accent, Robin, but it shone through in this one. And it's beautiful! Do not be self-conscious about it!

You both sounded very natural and it reminded me of the night we sat around the table in the conference room MaryO commandeered at the hotel!

I love your accent, Robin. It's just simply charming.

I'm listening right now - this is so very cool!

Robin - you are a born interviewer....and Mary, I am loving hearing your story!!

[mertie]

Oh yeah, you were very "take charge"!

You will remind those of us with memory problems (umm...everyone?) about next week's chat, right?

It's on the calendar already that shows at the bottom of the main page here and it will be in the email of those who have signed up for emailed newsletters.

Robin may - or not! - mention it again next Thursday. I'm sure she's hoping that someone will call in to chat with her, otherwise it will be 30 minutes of Robin's southern voice ad-libbing

[staticnrg]

OH NO!! Everybody better promise to call in!! I'll start reminding on Wednesday!!! We can have some good conversations on there!!

[Jo MacRaild]

How cool !! Great to hear both your voices again...Loved it... Bravo ladies.

Robin,

I'll call in! I already set the little reminder to e-mail me at 2 hours before the thing starts, which once I get that e-mail, I doubt that I'll forget. Great show ladies!
