Re: A lost art

greg / re bras and other things
i am speechless
i have absolutely no smart reply to yours
my experience alone, of course, but they are easier to get off then on
as i discovered when i chipped the bone on my elbow and only had one hand to
do anything
your sense of the ridiculous is always worth looking at the posts for, as
are your real feelings about the insidious and debilitating thing that is
parkinsons and other creeping diseases
i always enjoy your incursions into this list however much frustration and
anger they express and however much they differ from other individuals
its the strength of this site and the discussion promoted is helpful to
everyone
thank you
and hugs like the ones michel gives
