If you decide to read Tom Robbins I recommend his earlier boooks - Jitterbug Perfume is my favourite. They are mostly quite subversive and pagan, no idea of your religious beliefs but they would offend a fundamentalist Christian, Jew or Muslim.

You're absolutely right about this forum, what an amazing bunch of intelligent, interesting and diverse people. I wish more of you lived in England where I am as I would love to meet you. I value everyone's contribution - I have never spent much time on health related forums but this place I love. It has made me proud to wear the PD badge as you're all so smart (and emotionally literate and open minded) in your own special ways.

I just wish I found typing less of a chore and I would contribute more.

Stop the self deprecation though (that's for us limeys), you have an amazing and unique voice!
