We need an MS SIMULATOR!

Well, WE don't really need one - but the non-MSers need one.
Many of us MSers, Limbolanders, and Differential Dxers deal with invisible MS related problems!

Wouldn't it be nice it there were a Simulator?

   Ok -  If I were to make one (I can see it now)....you stand in it, and on the inside your legs feel like 100 lbs, it's hard to maintain balance (the floor can be tilted, lol)
- you have to look through blurry, or jerky hard to focus glasses, things are going on around you at a very normal pace, but you can't keep up because not only can't you concentrate, you can't move so good to get ahold of yourself, and then, wham warm water runs down the person in the simulator's leg for no good reason. But, all the while, everyone that looks at the person in the simulator thinks they are perfect!  They can't see! They can't feel it!

Aaaah, where are out engineers when we need em. I'll draw it, if someone will build it!!!!!

(((hugs)))

Sure.
Fine.
Blame me.  I can take it.  It happens all the time.  I've got lots of practice.

Actually, Bob assurred me 'round about last October that the docs had thickened up his skin and I sould feel free to joke with him.  (To bring new members up to speed, I think this had to do with mentioning that Bob's Halloween costume eyes were a revile match to one of HVAC's dogs.  Polly is a dalmation with huge black spots covering her eyes.)  Dang, I hope I have something in here right.

Of this, I am sure.  COBOB has a sense of humor and all this is my fault.

Amen.

Believe it or not, Mary even though we're having fun with it - I've given this a lot of thought through the years.

So Bob, look out we'll all claim designer rights, lol Education and cash all at the same time  - win-win sitch.

And, sorry for having fun at your expense - Mary started it, hahah

Good idea Shell but I hope you got the legal rights before putting your idea out here.  It seems to me the virtual drawing and spec writing services you offered to do are being hijacked by an engineer of reality world.

Contrary to the impression you received, I believe COBOB is quite taken by this idea and is having trouble distracting his thoughts from the constant contemplation of the endless intricate design features required.  Since he is likely to take over design duties you may as well name him a partner and start looking for someone to manage construction.

I could certainly be wrong but I believe Bob is joining in on the fun in his own (engineer) way.

Personally, I recommend you include a timer and an emergency STOP! button.  Nobody should have to tolerate this experience endlessly (even though some of us do and the rest of us fear it).

Gotcha - sorry Bob read you wrong - you write up the specs and make sure we can mix them around at any given moment

What else?

Bob, loving that the effects can change at any time during the simulation and hit you with a new combo!

Shell, that is Bob's humor, go with it.

hahaha! These are the best - yupper, think we can work on the zaps, and such.

Why Bob, - don't be a downer, though this was writtine all in good fun, I think even you'd be surprised by what can and is simulated :)
