    • Hug

      From SST September 22

      One day a woman's husband died, and on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of their bedroom, the wife was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't "anymore". No more hugs, no more special moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, no more "just one minute." Sometimes, what we care about the most gets all used up and goes away, never to return before we can say good-bye, say"I love you."

      So while we have it, it's best we love it, care for it, fix it when it's broken and heal it when it's sick. This is true for marriage.....And old cars... And children with bad habits and report cards, and dogs with bad hips, and aging parents and grandparents. We keep them because they are worth it, because we are worth it.

      Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a sister-in-law after divorce. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter what.

      Life is important, like people we know who are special.. And so, we keep them close!

      I received this from someone who thought I was a 'keeper'! Then I sent it to the people I think of in the same way.... Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are "keepers" in your life, including the person who sent it, if you feel that way. Suppose one morning you never wake up, do all your friends know you love them?

      I was thinking...I could die today, tomorrow or next week, and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to be healed, friendships that needed rekindling or three words needing to be said.

      Let every one of your friends know you love them. Even if you think they don't love you back, you would be amazed at what those three little words and a smile J can do. And just in case I'm gone tomorrow.

      I LOVE YA!!!

      Live today because tomorrow is not promised..

      HEALTH TIP OF THE DAY:

      If you are bothered by occasional or frequent constipation, look in the mirror and repeat the following phrase three times in succession when symptoms occur:

      My present and future financial and personal well being are totally in the hands of…



      Barack Obama




      Joe Biden




      Harry Reid



      Nancy Pelosi



      Tim Geithner



      Rahm Emmanuel



      Chris Dodd



      and Barney Frank!





      If that doesn't scare the shit out of you, then you are probably destined to be backed up for the rest of your life.

      There is no need to thank me for this advice; I'm just doing it as a public service.

      A guy walks into a bar and sees a gorgeous woman sitting alone at
      the bar. He walks up to her and says, "Hi there, good lookin'. How's it
      going?"She turns around, looks him straight in the eye and says, "Save the
      small talk buddy, I screw anybody, anytime, anywhere, your place, my
      place,on the ground, standing up, sitting down, naked or with clothes on,
      dirty, clean...It doesn't matter to me. I've been doing it ever since I got
      out of college and I love it." Eyes wide with interest, he responds,








      "No kidding. I'm a lawyer too" ..."What firm are you with?"

SLEEP STUDY RESULTS SHOWED THAT I FELL ASLEEP DURING EACH OF 4 (20 MINUTE) NAPS AND ENTERED REM WITHIN 2 MINUTES EACH TIME. APPARENTLY DURING MY LONG SLEEP, I CYCLED INTO REM AND THEN WOKE UP AND STARTED CYCLE OVER AGAIN.

    • Open Epilepsy & Seizures

      MS specialist recently ruled out MS after several years of being told I had MS by other Neuro's. MS specialist said that lesions I have in brain are of heterotopic origin and are usually associated with epilepsy and partial seizure disorder in my case. Have had 4 seizures since Sept. 2008 Don't know if they are tonic clonic, partial or complex.

      Treatments

      Ativan Working / Worked
      Dilantin Too Soon to Tell
      starting this medicine on 6/6/09. I really hope it works and doesn't cause icky side effects.
    • Open Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

      I was told for years that I probably had MS due to lesions and spots in my brain seen on MRI's and due to my multiple symptoms. MS was recently completely ruled out by MS specialist and was dx'd with Narcolepsy w/Cataplexy by Sleep Neuro. I will still remain a member of this forum since I have met SOOOO many wonderful people.
