At the risk of being misunderstood, I am going to comment here. Carolyn, I read and re-read your post and the one by CS - no where did I find anything negative about what you said. I must mis-understand something.

I understand exactly what CS meant and it in no way reflects poorly on your post. All he (I assume it's a he if not I am sorry) is saying is that many PD'ers are isolated and or very rural areas and do not have the wherewithall to take advantage of some of these wonderful facilities. I think he is just railing at the general injustice of this disease
Thats another reason I don't often look at this forum - people seem awfully hyper-sensitive and since I have never been noted for diplomacy, in most cases, I find it best I not comment at all.
You must have caught me on a day when I just didn't want to do the laundry.
