Camilla, you have inadvertantly let out my little secret! Some of the newer members of the list were probably thinking I was trying to be humorous, when in actuallity all these stories are based on the truth! (Maybe loosely interpreted!) If I told the REAL experiences I have had with cars, it would make people gasp. Why can't we trust wild animals, car salesmen and police officers to do the right thing? AND, If we see pigs flying, why can't we believe our eyes? Also, why do people who have certain ethnic names have to be typecast? I am sure there are thousands of Vitos, Guidos, and Titos, who have nothing to do with crime, or any sinister organization! P.S. NOW some words to anyone and everyone who hates the NON-PD "nonsense": I am guilty of getting caught up in the "far out" humor, and sometimes I go too far. Every time I get ready to just sit back and read, and only contribute serious "stuff" I get all kinds of email from folks who claim they want and NEED the lighthearted banter and stories, and jokes. I went through PD as a caregiver for my father, who almost lost his sense of humor, due to the cursed disease, but he kept enough of it, to probably keep him alive longer than he would have lasted otherwise. There ARE so many developments in PD that are positive, that anyone who is reading this has a very good chance of being cured, or at least getting symptomatic relief, before too long. Everyone has bad days, even those of us in relatively good health. We all have fears, worries, aches and pains, financial concerns, relative problems, job, or unemployment problems, etc. We MUST find ways to cope, and pretend that everything will be okay, and many times, it will happen. Get lost in humor, music, conversation, ANYTHING is better than going over negative thoughts, until there is nothing BUT negative thoughts to dwell on. If I offend anyone, please let me know, but it is never intended. Also, if anyone wants to send me email about their hobbies and interests, or mine, off the list, it is more than welcome. There is a lot of talent on this list. We should not be at each others throats, but it is better to discuss things than to just go away angry and upset, without clearing the air. I hope and pray the day that this list becomes obsolete is coming soon, and we can all celebrate. Ken B.
