I, for one, have enjoyed reading your reports of your enjoyable experiences in The Netherlands. It is a testemant that someone with PD can still travel, see the world, and engage in useful PD events to help raise awareness. I can understand that some people pay for their 'Net connection and/or have only limited time to read messages; i myself do not live in front of my computer. So, is there a solution? Do we have a list wide vote? It seems to me that if someone wishes to share a personal experience that is not directly PD related, but is a heartwarming story, and they feel comfortable sharing with the whole group, then that is a benefit for all. I have not noticed messages (save the Spams!) which have not related to some aspect of PD. Maybe i've missed something? Anyway, good health to all! :-) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Peace from the Clouds" \--*MH*--/ Jeffrey Romanyshyn Email: [log in to unmask] "Myth Hawk" 28/Diagnosed 3yrs/Sinemet CR 2x/Sinemet 10/100 as morning booster/Eldepyrl 5mg 1x/Homeopathy Treatment Myth tells us where we come from, who we are, and where we are going.
