Toward this potential, DD EXCHANGE is for conversation, civil sounding off, sharing of stories, experience, information, resources, and inspiration, giving and receiving support, and creative problem solving.

    I have downloaded my copy, will go through it with a tooth and comb, submit my comments and attend the meeting on May 5 - Anybody welcome to join me!

    We need to inundate the powers that be with sensible solutions and not put up with other's ideas about how we should take care of our loved ones.

    I meant "fined toothed comb" - I hate when I make errors like this.

    I'm getting my comments ready and will submit them this week.

    I have also submitted my application to the Governor to be a member of the Washington State Developmental Disabilities Council. We'll see what happens - I'm excited.
