		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that approximately 1.4 million people in the United States have Crohn’s disease or Ulcerative colitis?
These illnesses, collectively known as Inflammatory Bowel Disease, cause chronic inflammation of the digestive tract. Currently, there is no cure.

		<title>I&#8217;m a weather geek&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think I&#8217;ve up&#8217;d my Girl Geek quotient quite a bit tonight. I have become an officially trained Skywarn storm spotter.
For as long as I can remember, I&#8217;ve had a fascination with weather. I was terrified of storms as a kid, yet, they intrigued me.  As I got older, I became the kid that watched [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kknipp.wordpress.com&blog=1719264&post=122&subd=kknipp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Having a uterus is a pre-existing condition?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Affordable healthcare should be of particular importance to women this election season, as new insurance-company data dissected in today&#8217;s New York Times reveals that women pay much more than men of the same age for individual insurance policies providing the same coverage.
So, not only do I have Crohn&#8217;s disease AND a permanent ilesotomy working against [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kknipp.wordpress.com&blog=1719264&post=118&subd=kknipp&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Moral Bankruptcy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;It is extraordinary to me that you can find $700 billion to save Wall Street and the entire G8 can&#8217;t find $25 billion to save 25,000 children who die every day of preventable disease and hunger.&#8221;  &#8211; Bono
Enough said.

I&#8217;ve often said of my Crohn&#8217;s disease that &#8220;I wish it was somehow visible&#8221;, so that others might understand and &#8220;get it&#8221;.
