Caught me cold, put the barrel of the gun right there on my forehead and made me tell the truth. Okay, I admit it. As ashamed as I am to tell you this, I'd like to see my three grandchild grow up. I'd like to teach them to love horses as much as I do. I'd like to go on long walks with my wife. I'd like to throw all my pills in the trash and wake up in the morning feeling wonderful. Pure selfishness. You don't know me and I don't know you, either. But we have something in common, you and I, something neither of us want. Let's work together to get rid of our problem. Maybe we won't succeed - but at least we tried.>>> i tend to pick nits you left the 'ren' off the word grandchildren your truth and wants - parallel mine how can you be ashamed of these universal truths? feeling wonderful how child-like nearly perfect feeling full of wonder - choosing to live - seeing that i can see and look and smell and decide to be to meet the challenge - to live well with what i have left- to en-joy my life - to contribute - to discover, learn, teach, display, my spirit - my humanity these win the day these defeat the "problem" - the PD - the limitations we have much in common humanity knowing thyself eventually involves our selves we are on this earth we are each part of us Alan B inspired many (our Gipper) let us win one for Alan's spirit of self-less-ness all of Congress will feel good about their having supported our cause - if we can help them understand - we all must do what seems best for each other - to feel good to be good - to do good - is the primary process that causes one (and all some day?) to feel good Ron Vetter 1936, dz PD 1984, carbidopa/levodopa, Mirapex, selegiline Piet Hein wrote: I'd like to know what this whole show is all about before it's out. makes me wonder how good i feel some times when i give what some other wants or needs
