RE: Young Onset and Illegal Drugs I think of myself as middle-aged, although I don't know too many people who are 104 which would be double my age :). I never used ANY drugs during the 60's...legal or illegal. I had 4 children between Oct. 64 and June 69 and did not drink or smoke then or even take aspirin. I also agree that we should be open to exploring anything...lifestyle, geographic location, chemical exposure, pollution, heredity... RE: Fetal Attraction...my reaction to the title was more of a groan..but I'm not going to let my distaste for the title prevent me from reading the article. RE: Flames (for those who are new on the internet, flames are usually a one or two sentence reaction [negative] to a posting). This list has been extraordinarily good about avoiding flames. This may be one reason we are all willing to post what we think or feel about Parkinson's, surgeries, drugs, etc. I, for one, like that. RE: Flames (again). Another reason I don't like flames is that for each message posted to the list, there are usually two or three error messages sent to me....usually the message is ... mailbox full, please try again. So, just a reminder..if you are going on vacation, please send a message to the listserver stopping your mail. The address is: [log in to unmask] and in the body of the note, type: Set parkinsn no mail When you return, send a message to the same address with the message: Set parkinsn mail or: Set parkinsn digest That way your 'mailbox' won't be full when you return. If you want to know what has been happening on the list while you were away, the list is archived and available to you all. Thanks, Barb
