I wanted to spoof the Scientologists one day but fear what has happened to others. The subject header WOULD HAVE been the title if I followed through on it. But, now that I have your attention......... I want to ask a favor of all of you. Some of you have written to me directly and asked permission to copy some of my posts to this group for friends, family, and support groups. And, of course it was okay with me. These same people have also sent me copies of their newsletter for my record (and to send to my Mom back east). My only requests in doing so are: 1) the post not be abbreviated without checking with me first 2) that I be given credit (list my name and snail-mail/Internet address) 3) mail me a copy of the newsletter or handout that you use it for My address is: David Boots 1532 Brookside Drive Santa Rosa, CA 95405 Someone in this newsgroup (anonymous PD-angel) will be assisting me in putting together these posts and other writings in a book on my own struggle with PD. I am anxious to put forth something that deals more with the emotional changes and physical compromises/challenges that young people face more than others have attempted to do in the past. Your cooperation with this request is much appreciated. -the irreverent "Has he had his medication?" David Boots
