Marling: I agree with what you said, except spitting on people. I need all the saliva I can get. I liken your remark about looking good to going to a funeral and a person looks down at the deceased in the casket and says "Don't they look natural." Now, if I look natural when I'm dead I will begin giving obscene finger gestures. I have had the PD crud on my face and have just not gotten it cleared up. In face I put on a little makeup, no on noticed. But on the worst day with the crud, and the comments are "You look wonderful." With the crud covering my face, Compression stockings, little Band-Aids on my fingers and my elbow bends, a little drool coming down my mouth, tremors, muscle contractions, and I know that people mean well but please don't say I look good if I don't just to be nice. I am not full of anger, I don't want to hurt them, I have worked on issues related to these diseases and I don't have to like that I have PD or Diabetes, or Vascular problems, or even Bipolar, but what I need to do is accept where I am. But please be honest with me. "You don't need to say I look like 'Hello either but lets be adult. Thanks Marling TTFN Gina Heres a hug for you Marling {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{Marling}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
