<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>A request for courtesy does not equate to a demand that a ban be placed on celebrations. And to those of you who believe posting a sign to let your neighbors know that you have PTS belongs back in the closet make me wonder if all of the forward progress (ok, slight) that the nation has made in recognition of the existence, research and care of PTS/MST also needs to backslide into said closet. I live in a neighborhood with several rental properties and have never met some of my neighbors. They shoot off fireworks for days and not just the little ones. This year, someone organized a block party and provided me with enough notice to decide if I wanted to go elsewhere. This is courtesy.
