- (I say/ think :Thank you but what would you suggest ? How does it look to NOT TO BE BRAVE ?I have no choice )
- They say ;My great grandmother, second cousin ‘s , once removed on my mother’s side has ‘that’ too.
- (I think : You don’t want to hear, I will shut up and wait this out)
- They say ;Alzheimer s is such a terrible disease.
- Yes it is but Parkinson’s is not Alzheimer’s
- They say ;Have you tried cannabis?
- I think: Oh if only I had a $ for each time I was asked that.. 14 Years times at least once a day
