I evidentally missed seeing the original posting which prompted this survey but I'm intrigued by the responses and wonder what the hypothesis is. My maternal grandmother had diabetes and a heart condition. BTW, two posts I sent yesterday haven't come through my E-mail either, so I'm guessing that aol continues to deliver eradically. I think I've received two digests since posting them. Barbara Blake-Krebs [log in to unmask] Merriam KS 66202
