LITTLE JOHNNY STRIKES AGAIN..........
The teacher asked the class to use the word "fascinate" in a sentence.
Molly put up her hand and said, "My family went to my grand dad's farm, and we all saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating."
The teacher said, "That was good, but I wanted you to use the word "fascinate, not fascinating".
Sally raised her hand. She said, "My family went to see Rock City and I was "fascinated."
The teacher said, "Well, that was good Sally, but I wanted you to use the word "fascinate."
Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by little Johnny before. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word "fascinate", so she called on him. Johnny said, "My aunt Gina has a sweater with ten buttons, but her tits are so big she can only fasten eight."
The teacher sat down and cried!

Never take someone for granted Hold every person close to your heart Because you might wake up one day And realize that you've lost a diamond While you were too busy collecting stones

Open Arteriosclerosis
My husband is currently 46, fighting his Arterioclerosis in his Carotid arteries in the back of his head. They don't know why it started but I am finding out why fast! Trying to prolong his life, because he's already had one stroke, and they don't expect to be able to do anything but a bypass or maybe move some arteries to feed his brain. He's got short term memory loss, balance issues, right side weakness and much more. For now I am just looking to find all the information I can find to help!
Treatments
- Aggrenox Not Working
- Gave severe headaches, had to switch to Warfarin
- Angioplasty Working / Worked
- Didn't work, total blockage they were too late.
- Plavix Working / Worked
- Didn't use long enough to know.
- Coumadin Working / Worked

Open Polio
I contracted Polio when I was a baby. I have walked on crutches my whole life, and had surgeries when I was young. It effected my legs and waist, sometimes I notice my immune isn't the best either. For the Most part, I accepted it and am glad it happened to me. Otherwise I wouldn't be who I am today without the challenges it gave me.
