Don't ever apologize for saying what you feel. We all have the right to a bad day (more than) once in awhile. Being chipper is not a requirement for posting on this Listserv (Barb-correct me if I'm wrong). If only upbeat messages appeared on the list we would all think we were the only ones in the world who couldn't deal with the PD. It's okay, and better for us all, to be honest and be ourselves. Take care. Laura 44/10
