The beauty of the disco era was when two great dancers came together and choreographed fantastic dances. The clubs in the 70's overflowed with extraordinary dancers. Jessie, hotprobsjessie

My mother, too, had Alzheimer's disease. I congratulate you on the publication of your book, which is a very "big deal." Actually, someone mentioned your book to me a couple of weeks ago, so I am familiar with the title. I have a pile of books to read, but now I will make a real effort to add yours to my pile. Next time I write an encouraging post, I'll mention your webpage. You are a real inspiration. Carol,

I think that the time you spend typing out a text message, you could've easily called the person and just say it. And I also think that certain things can be misinterpreted without the necessary element of vocal or visual expressions that you cannot convey through a text messsage.
