thanks for the message. sometimes it is the tone of voice. my 
sister-in-law was a teacher many years ago. she still talks like i am 
her student. will speak up. thanks for the advice.

Eileen, 
I would say the best thing to do is to say, firmly but as politely as 
possible, that you're not a child, and you don't need to be treated like 
one. It's unfortunate, but sometimes relatives are the hardest to deal 
with on this issue. 
But if you need to speak up for yourself, I say do so.

i am glad everyone had a good holiday. we did, but i find that relatives 
that don't see me too often, treat me like a child, just because i don't 
have perfect vision. wish i could speak up. nest year i will.

Gary & All,
Thanks for all the good Thanksgiving wishes. Joe & I also had a lovely 
day yesterday with family in New Jersey.  We are all very fortunate to 
have much to eat, & friends and family to share.

Hi, Gary!

Thanks for the Thanksgiving wishes.  Mine was great and I spent it with 
a

cousin and her family.  We had quite a crowd and wonderful food.  Hope 
yours

and everyone else's was good too.

Take care.
