i remember seeing all 3 of rovee's posts, but i don't recall seeing very much of a response to rovee's questions. if it were my mother and i was desperate to find someway to make her more comfortable - and my question seemingly was ignored - i, too, might post the msg again & again hoping someone would respond. what if - this was our cg asking? are we not here to help one another? can't we compose a response in a more gentler way than saying your triplicate postings are irritating me? ahhh you say, that's not what i said. but look instead at what you didn't say - i'm sorry your mother is in an advanced stage of pd- i understand what you must be going through - i can suggest these websites where you might find information or these articles previously posted to the list (don't you do that for others?) i'msure you didn't intend to be unkind, because you try sohard to be helpful. this message may just have caught you at a bad time. just trying to remind everyone (including me) emails can sometimes seem cold and impersonal, so we need to phrase things carefully so we don't hurt feelings or drive 'newbies' off the list cause they don't understand where we're coming from. just thoughts - :))) have a good day!!! barb k At 11:15 PM 6/5/00 -0400, you wrote: >At 06:48 PM 2000/06/05 -0700, "[log in to unmask]" wrote, for the third time: > > >...
