Just a gentle reminder that there ARE times when a PWP wants the CG to
speak for her/him. How does the other person know whether this may be the
case? When we go to the doc, or in most situations except conversations
with family and friends, Peter ASKS me to do the talking. I often try to
steer questions to him, but he doesn't always appreciate it! Just another
example of our famous "different strokes for different folks"--but don't
necessarily consider the CG as "rude".
