You lucky kids, Barb M. and Juanita - you can still enjoy the exaltations of private residency, enjoy playing with plumbing and leaks and hanging papers and tiling floor and maybe even play checkers on them. If the lip reader says you have a foreign accent, just write notes and tic tac toe. Here in Greenspring Village, we have to cope with the strenuous calling General Services to fix leaks and backups and burned out fluorescent bulbs and whatever as part of our monthly fees. The hardest part of this is seeing my Barb M. forming her own support group in her mind and she is beginning to believe some of them are real. She wants to call the exterminator because she sees the carpeting rise up as an army of bugs or she want to call the cops because the tenants on the opposite building are taking pictures of her for nefarious purposes. It was not too easy to argue with her reality before, but now it is against a different world. Hugs to you, Michel 'Carpe Diem' when you can
