True enough, Don. There are certainly times I get aggravated trying to understand what's being said through the idiosyncrasies. It's always our choice to not read. I've embarrassed myself a few times, though, assuming that something was done by choice when, in fact, it was the best that person could manage. I'd prefer to give the benefit of the doubt. And, yes, you are right, Mary. Many times, those w/ problems try harder than others. The world's a big place w/ many kinds in it. Let's just continue to be aware of that fact. I love the broadness of the world Mudcat puts me in touch w/--more than my day-to-day life ever could!

best,
