^^^^^^ WARM GREETINGS FROM ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :-) Ivan Suzman 51/39/36 [log in to unmask] :-) Portland, Maine land of lighthouses 25 ? deg. F :-) ******************************************************************** Dear friends, There are instances long after the time when most people are asleep, very late at night, when I find myself too tired to go to the computer, and when I need someone to talk to on the TELEPHONE. Locally, we have a 24 hr suicide-prevention hotline, but no PD-patients' open line, for talking when one needs a friend, and is a little worn out, but NOT suicidal. I am sometimes too tired to turn pages. I keep a Bible nearby, and a book of ancient Chinese poems, When I am troubled, it would be a relief to be able to have a "phone friend." Camilla, would you please send that message to the PD Caregiver's List?? There must be many others who have the same need. Please e-mail privately. or post to this List, on this topic. Thank you. Ivan :-)
