ENOUGH ALREADY! Dennis, that you so very much for coming to my defence-that hasn't happened since I was in 2nd grade and never with such caring & generousity of spirit. Sandy, Janice, Bob & Don (IYQ-all!) so very much--but the time has come for me defend my own words...I've said it before & I'lll say it again: PD is not for wimps; I do not hide the fact that I'm a drooling, falling, shaking, shot-out-of-a-cannon, bouncing around like a pinball on acid and frozen like potted plants person with parkinson's. Maybe you aren't to that stage yet, but I am. I'm not crying or whining-just stating facts. I hope & pray like crazy that you never get this stage but believe me-it's out here & it's real! Janet, I am the one who said that I wasn't ever going to post to the list again because it seems like everytime I do, my words are taken and disected and interpereted and given an entirely different spin & it seems like to much energy to go back and fix the spin. My kids went back to school today, my 11 yr. old daughter is sick, I just had to pick my butt up after sprawling face first outside a coffee house in the pouring rain, I'm looking at 48 in a few weeks and all I want for my birthday is one of those thingys to make your toilet seat higher in the air, I sleep in a lift chair rather than w/ my wonderful husband so that he can get some sleep. Believe me, I am not whining-nobody promised me a rose garden and I sure as heck believe that I'm blessed in a thousand other ways-there are some days when I am truly the happiest person on earth. So, please don't feel sorry for me; just don't make believe that's it's all make believe. I have hope and I have a wonderfully positive attitude but I am a realist at this stage of the game-please don't make me anything that I'm not. You know what tho...?? After meeting so many of the wonderful people in person-it gets personal. I'm done-I've finished-I've had my say. Thank you. Joan E.
