Bob, I don't know if you have ever thought about it, but many times we "parkies "need to laugh to keep from crying. Which is the reason most of us are happy to get a chuckle out of the list now and then. Since you don't seem happy on this list , and since this list essentially was set up for Parkies, and since you are not, and do not have anyone in your home who does have PD, and if your only purpose on this list is to offer free medical advice, then may I make a suggestion? Set your computer to NOMAIL and read it off the PIENO which John Cottingham and Simon Cole have set up so nicely. http://parkinsons-information-exchange-network-online.com/mailopt.html That way you can pick and choose what you want to read, and it won't come to your mailer and pack your hard drive. You could easily pick up in the Subject Headers which persons are asking for Medical Advice. I will miss you because we have really had some spirited discussions over the years, but I want I want you to ,above all ,be happy. Life is too short to be sad! As you know, this is just In my own humble opinion. just me, Marjorie 68/58/55 ********************************************************************************************* Shortcut to Mail Options click here: http://parkinsons-information-exchange-network-online.com/mailopt.html Home of John Cottingham's PIENO **********************************************************************************************
