hi hawkins:) this is audrey friend of an aussie guy who is special and has pd.. I think you all are wonderful ! your posting just arrived as I was reading my 256 emails many to do with the stock market that I invest in , but they hardly hold the interest yours did.. that was the funniest analogy of why guys and women do not always understand one another.. :)) please find more so I might send it to my guy in oz.. I talked with him this morning on icq and passed on some things I had learned from some of you ..his response was this: I hate message boards and thanks that is nice.. so, I guess it is up to me to keep pushing to help him whether or not he likes what I find . and yes, I know he is depressed and yes his disposition has changed and yes he tended to have been solitary before he contracted pd.. thank you all : you lighten my day... ----- Original Message ----- From: Hawkins, Darwin <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Friday, January 14, 2000 10:48 AM Subject: NONPD Rules > Something to lighten the day of approximately half of you out there on the > list!
