Hi, Mike!  Recently you wrote in a message to Ardith Hinton:

          I saw your message in ABLED and was hoping somebody else would
reply along the lines of "Hey, it's nice to see some traffic in
here!"  There hasn't been much recently.  But surely there must be a
few other lurkers too....  :-)



MP>  I have noticed similar situations to what you
MP>  describe also.


          Here's another one for you!  Nora has therapy in the afternoons
when her class goes on field trips which aren't suitable for her.  People
think she must lead a pretty soft life, since she's allowed to skip school.
 She goes to the exercise room at the community centre, for example... she
lifts weights... she uses the treadmill... then her body aches for the next
48 hours.  It's far more demanding, physically & mentally, than it is
for the average person.  But to a suprising number of adults this routine
sounds easier than going on a bus to a local shopping mall to eat lunch
& take in a movie.  Go figger... (sigh).
