Hi U All In re shoes, I have worn western boots for years, as they give me support, and there are no laces to tie, and they are easy to put on. I also wear western clothes - the shirts don't have buttons - they have snaps. I even have a western hat. The shoes run from $200 to $400 but they last for years. In re temper, I get mad a lot more as time goes on. Vivian says that Mr. PD is here a lot. I was worried about belly cancer. Then I got a new pair of glasses that cost $300, and I can't see any dogggone better. We do get short-tempered at times, so never feel alone. You will find out that a lot of People With Parkinson's have the same troubles. As to fun, well, Vivian and I went out to eat last night. They had hard drinks there, so I got my pink grapefruit juice in a frosted glass with a straw. Well, as happens to a lot of us when we go out, Vivian had to feed me. Someone said, "Look at that drunk!" Vivian replied, " Wait till he has one more, and you will really see something!" So you see you've got to laugh at things. We laughed all the way home over it! As I like to say, you've got to put mind over matter. I admit it doesn't work 100% of the time, but with a loving woman like I've got, it helps. Just remember there are people worse off than us even if we don't believe it. So have a good day and thank GOD we are here to read this. I.Y.Q.
