Gee Carole, you need a surgical procedure for your *foot in the mouth * operation? Try the one I need ( often) whereas yours are feet, mine might be classified as 2x4's... It doesnt seem to me that anything you say, or have said, can be described as offensive whereas I have stepped on a few toes...I tend to tread where there are signs that say * stay off the grass* , but they are turned around so I can't see them.. That could be called a handicap could't it ? That is a good excuse anyhow .. :) audrey... *seattle* friend of pwp aussie john 48/dx 8 :) ----- Original Message ----- From: janet marie paterson <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Saturday, February 12, 2000 10:38 PM Subject: Re: Sir James / emotions / with a 'hey' to bill harrington > At 06:55 PM 2000/02/12 -0500, carole wrote: > >Hi Audrey: I think Parkinsonians are notoriously prickly, > >but perhaps that is a common denominator in ANY > >individual with a chronic, progressive, incurable > >disease.We're not always good company.
