That sounds like a great idea Ron, let us know when you get it completed, it is a very good subject and could perhaps even be a book? thanks. Dan **

What about the quads that don't have 4 sisters to take care of them around the clock. Nobody to fly with them on trips to play rugby or let alone make them a decent meal. What about the guy that was refused help at voc rehab because he was deemed to be a bad risk. We all want the best but sadly few many people are left out, trying to find a meal and someone to do a bowell routine a couple times a week, maybe a shower once a week. Who can get someone do do an every day bowell routine, lol. Im going to write a nice story about several quads I know and how their lives have varied.

Although I do believe many of us have as much right to life as the murderers and hard core criminals in our prisons that cost our government billions of dollars for their care each and every year. (do any of you agree or have thoughts on this??)
