SC - Period cookshop at Pennsic?

[Elaine Koogler]

I think what Morgana was counseling was the realization that others may not take
recreation quite as seriously as we do.  And I congratulate you on having such
good health and vision that you are able to forego such modern conviences as
contacts and prescribed medications at events.  Most of the rest of us are not
able to do so.  My lord is on blood pressure medication that not taking it could
have serious consequences...even if he only skipped a day or so.  If we only
attended events where he would not have to take this medication, we could only do
single-day events.  And, without glasses, we wouldn't be able to attend any!

Sorry for this outburst, but your statements just caught me wrong.  Most cultures
consider bragging about ones good health to invite ill health!
