Merlin - Someone else said the same thing this morning, but please try to remember, even though our PRIMARY purpose is to share PD information, we are all hurting. Some of us for ourselves and some for the person we love or care for. The jokes are essential to keep us smiling, the poems are excellent to help us get through the day, and the venting some of us do, is necessary to get "things" off our chest so we can go back to our PWP with an uplifted spirit. You will learn much from those of us who don't have PD, because we share our info with everyone. If for some reason you don't appreciate what you see, please delete. No one else will know, so know one else will be offended. Best wishes, Jo Ann from Houston
