You were kinder in your response than I - I admire you for that. I think >I get less tolerant as I get older and more Parkinsonian! I shall try to >model my irritated responses on yours. Jeremy, Thank you for your note. I was also initially somewhat irritated at the SJS message but I think that we all have real problems dealing with PD at times and it sounded to me like SJS, whoever that is, was having 'one of those times'. But my first reaction was the same as yours - lighten up! Best regards, Susan Hamburger, caregiver for Stan, 61/15+ It's a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best, you very often get it. W. Somerset Maughm
