I vote for Gennysmom as having the cutest and perfectly symmetrical AN (virgo trait)  ;D

I think more people post from the "other" coast. I have met 9 people that live within a 40 miles radius of me in CA that have/had AN's. I better start recruiting to get our numbers up.

Ok, I really thought that environment had something to do with AN's.  I live in Texas (and my heart is here) but I am from NY.  The side of NY I am from is not densely populated.  The onlything dense about it are the forests and the people.  Nice people, but they just don't get it, most of the time.   Now I need to ask, how to you post your MRI's?  Scan them?  Or what?  I am not computer savy.  I got to meet Boppie's daughter today.  Very nice person.  Have a strong feeling she takes after her Mom.

Brenda--there is a topic called "tips and How to's" in the Welcome message area about posting pictures. Most of us have our MRIs on CDs.

Okay, I have to speak up for the least dense area of the country.  The good ole upper midwest.  Even more specifically, the Upper Penninsula of Michigan.  If the statistics are correct in that only 1 in every 100,000 people get ANs, I should be one of three in the whole UP!!  Haven't heard from the other two.  I know you're out there somewhere.  lol
