Gosh, where did everybody go? Actually I liked it better when people felt they could express themselves without rubbing someone's fur the wrong way. There were certainly more postings daily. Now that we don't talk about religion and politics any more, we never talk! So, Joe, how do you think the Bills will do this year? How's your symptoms, Fred? It's like my family parties; so much religious and political diversity that these are seldom discussed, and small talk rules. Result: I hardly know some members of my own family. Anyway, for me, life has been slightly more difficult now that I'm off the Sinemet. Increases in symptoms have been minor and manageable, so I'm staying the course, for now. When my piano playing really starts to go south, I'll consider restarting Sinemet. For now, I don't need it for the other stuff I do, like remodeling work and housework. I hope you all are voicing your opinions with your elected officials. There are some pretty important pieces of legislation out there, both nationally and locally, for us with PD. You hear freedom ringing? ...that's your congressperson's telephone. Enjoy Spring!
