Hi Donna- I wrote to sending Sharon's reply and yours and asking if he

wants help with how he receives posts or if he wants to receive them at all.

Hoping you are staying warm in Michigan. We are in a bit of a deep

freeze...currently 9F with a windchill of -1. Tomorrow's low temp expected -5

with windchills -15 to -20. Hugs to you, too- Sandie

Hi Jan,

I have no idea if you remember me but it's here, that bloke from

England whose dad died from LBD a few years ago. (My mum died of

Multiple Sclerosis at the same time).

Anyway, I still get the emails from the LBD site, mostly because my

profile is corrupt and I can't turn them off. I don't read them

anymore to be honest. For some reason that I can't explain

occasionally an email jumps out and kicks me in the chest as they

download onto my computer. It demands that I read it. Your email that

Jim was very ill did just that. It made my heart sink and I'm so very

sorry to hear he's so bad.

I've now reached the grand old age of 41 and grow more like my old man

every day. I figure there is a fair chance I'll go the same way

eventually. To lessen the pain of going mad I've decided to start

practicing being senile now. This is handy if you don't remember me

because you'll be able to write me off as a trainee " mad old English

duffer " and just ignore me. You, for some reason, have always been in

my thoughts and I expect you always will be. Especially just now.

Sooner or later this horrid roller coaster of hurt will spit you out

and leave you in piece for a while. If, by some miracle, you then

decide to have a holiday in England I'd be honored to meet you in

person. Sandie knows how to find me.

Until then, take care and I'll be thinking of you.

in England on a crisp winters day (Trainee mad old fart!)
