However, we do have control over the way we play the =20 hand. There's no point in blaming the dealer for a bad hand. The =20 trick is to play it out with all the skill and determination we =20 possess. I=92m not smart enough to find a cure for this disease, but I =20= am determined to do my best to make it possible for some researcher =20 somewhere to find a cure. In short, I decided that if I have to ride in the Parade, I=92d prefer =20= to do it on a pony! thank you nina for the inspiring commentary & observations of what we PWP are challenged with everyday. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
