Darwin: I'll see what I can come up with-- :) BTW your sense of humor is what I need. On my days which aren't so good, you manage to make me smile. I do think we need to have a good sense of humor -- whenever I have a problem at work that's pd-related, I joke with my fellow workers that I'm having a "pd moment." This makes us all laugh together making them feel more comfortable around me - and I don't feel as self-conscious if I lose my balance, can't think of the right word, talk so softly they think they need hearing aides -- LOL they know i'm far from being a "party-animal" since i've always been one of those "computer-geeks" so when I told them not to watch me walk down the long hallway to my office because they might get the impression I'd been drinking..... they rolled their eyes and said, "Right! We'll know you partied all night." Then we all laughed. I am trying to make them comfortable around me - not afraid to ask questions about pd. (and they have asked some good ones). I don't want them to look at me and see the disease, I want them to see ME as a pwp -- the same person I was before pd, but maybe a little slower now. I hope everyone has a really good day today - and those of you on the other side of the world -- a good evening! :))) At 09:47 AM 12/4/00 -0600, you wrote: >Barbara K, > >Now some are going to have hurt feelings if you don't write an equally >creative and funny song about us!!! > >I think the surest sign of a well adjusted person is the ability to laugh at >the exaggerated truth in ourselves as others see it. > >More mentally and physically healthy than just funny jokes. > >Darwin
