do any of us have any vanity left?
Still, for anyone who wants to pursue this, I suggest the obvious but perfectly descriptive double entendre, PARKIE Sheryl |

Sheryl, I love ya gal, but...
I am one of those odd-balls who has a problem with the word "Parkie" For example, we don't call diabetics "betics" or cancer patients "cancies" Oh well, everyone else used it, so I suppose I should just get over it!! And, no I am not taking on a vanity plate project...as you know, enough projects on my/our plate!! Carolyn

i'm not a fan of Parkie either, just found the double entendre humorous.
Truly, I do not want to drive around advertising my medical condition. It does not define me. I didn't ask to become a member of this distinguished group, PD chose me. All any of us can to is make the best of it. sheryl |
