If Janet is "not amused" as Queen Victoria is supposed to have said, why is she checking out SPARKLE anyway. She should remember that Bonnie and Hans started this list because there were complaints about posting humor on the Parkinson's list. I'm a caregiver, not a PWP, but I can tell you that I really appreciate SPARKLE, and so do the friends I share with. :-))) So why don't we just leave Janet to her own humorless opinion while we keep on enjoying SPARKLE and each other, and maybe she'll go away. Why does she care anyway? I know that anything that will get my Mom to laugh is a wonderful thing. These days she doesn't even talk very much. Her great-granddaughter (age 6) told her Good Morning the other day and when Mom said it back, Sarah hollered, "She spoke." Sarah's here with us every day and it really thrilled her that her Ahma spoke to her. So, anything that will bring a smile or laugh to a PWP or a caregiver is a very good thing. Now do you get it, Janet? If not, well.............:-( Eleanor ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
