Andres, good points and will ya hurry up and grow up so I can see you on stage, here!?**BG**

LilNeo, I have a friend who has a lot of lawayer friends and family members; she also works for one. She was told by a couple of them (one of whom is a partner of Gerry Spense) that a good way to overcome the anxiety of getting up in front of everyone, esp. in front of the antagonistic *other side*, was to visualise them all naked! It was usually so hilarious that the fear went right out the window!

Spaw, I did the same thing with some of the ehart meds we tried, but my doctor was very supportive. IT seems I ma allergic to all of the heart meds we tried. Last March, I calle dhim and told him I was not taking any of it anymore. He told me to monitor the BP and we'd see. So far it's been okay. COurse I haven't checked it when I am po'd at a certain sibling, but so far, so good. I am amazed that modern medicine comes up with these things that are SO TOXIC and blithely tell us "Here take this. It will take care of the problem."! I itched and ached constantly for years until one doctor finally had the sense to take me of a BP med and put me on another. Then I'd do pretty well for a couple of months and then they'd want to put me on the even more dire and toxic prednisone to get rid of the full-blown, and VERY itchy rash that showed up! AARrrgghhh! Sorry, Neo, for the creep.
