How to contact "helga"
« on: August 23, 2010, 08:15:26 pm »
Is there a way to address a message to a specific member?  I was told someone with the user name helga had treatment at tufts gamma knife center and I wanted to ask her about her experience there...

I did some searching on "Helga" and didn't find it, but then I found her when I searched on "Tufts".  I think her user name is "hlmsrd".  Here is a thread by her on her experience:  http://anausa.org/forum/index.php?topic=10452.0.  You can address an email to her by clicking on her user name in the upper left-hand corner of her post, then down at the bottom of the page that comes up, click on "Send this member a personal message".  --Carol Ann

Hi koch, and Carol Ann (iluuvpups)

Scarlett and I met Helga (hlmsrd) back in April of 2009 at The New England ANA Brunch at Maxwell’s in Worcester, Ma.  She was very nice.

Here is a link to the photos taken at the Brunch.

iluuvpups (THANK YOU!) did the right find... her username here is "hlmsrd". If you do a search with her user name from the forum home page, you should find the info she has shared.

Thanks Rich for the photos! :)  She is a sweetie (as are you and Ms Scarlett!) and look forward to seeing you both in Oct (hope you can make it!)

I'm glad Helga has been located.

This thread made me smile because my daughter told some guy that was harassing her that her name was "Helga." When he expressed skepticism, she told him he should not make fun of her because she was named after her mom. Her friends backed her up the time, but cracked up afterward. Now Helga has become her nickname, and is what she named her iPod.
