The difference between palsy and a tic is irrelevant, they both make you a jerk. 😉 That was courtesy of Dave, who had a terrible fear of developing Tardive Dyskinesia from the long term use of anti psychotic meds. I loved this my dearest and you are always at your best with the terse open question poetry. hugs 🙂
