I am so sick of not being able to say anything without offending someone in Siberia. Are we so far gone that we can't laugh at ourselves? I'm Catholic, so what, do I get offended if someone tells me a joke about a catholic, or a priest. I have too many other things to worry about, like how my husband is managing with PD, getting money together for research, if my elderly mother is doing okay today, if my kids are okay. Get a life!!!!!!! You are now free to yell and scream at me. After the month I've had, I wouldn't even care. Gerry
