      Sometime this year, we taxpayers may again receive an Economic Stimulus payment.

      This is a very exciting new program. I will explain it using the Q and A format:

      Q. What is an Economic Stimulus payment?
      A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.

      Q. Where will the government get this money?
      A. From taxpayers.

      Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
      A. Only a smidgen.

      Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
      A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.

      Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
      A. Shut up.

      Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the US economy by spending your stimulus check wisely:

      * If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China .
      * If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs.
      * If you purchase a computer, it will go to India .
      * If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico , Honduras and Guatemala .
      * If you buy a car, it will go to Japan .
      * If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan .
      * If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go to management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.

      Instead, keep the money in America by:

      1 spending it at yard sales, or
      2 going to hockey/ball games, or
      3 spending it on prostitutes, or
      4 beer or
      5 tattoos.

      (These are the only American businesses still operating in the US ..)

      ***
      I'm going to go to a ball game with a tattooed prostitute that I met at a yard sale, and drink beer! Just call me a patriot.

    • High Five

      From clevemcs October 13

      Hi horsenut. Glad things are getting better. Hang in there it can and does get better. Just thought I would send you a high five hug. Cleveland

      From SST September 23

      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..

    • Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Primary Progressive MS

      it took 6 years to get a diagnosis. I am not too happy with many Doctors who goof up. I was the one who found the lesions on my mri's. Not the radiologist. I had to take copies of them, and then put them before the Dr. and say, "What is this then". Always educate yourself and beleive what your body is telling you.

      Treatments

      Avonex Too Soon to Tell
      I am trying it out to see if it holds up my cognative decline.
      Mirapex Working / Worked
      If i forget to take this i will have electrical jolts going down my legs all night. Hense I will aways take this. This really does work for me and no side effects.

    • Close Tinnitus

      Tinitus every waking moment. For me it is a sypmtom of MS. It is like having a bee hive in my head. Faigue and stress make it louder, or is it when the bees are making out.)?

      Treatments

      Neurontin Working / Worked
      I am honestly not sure if it works. I take this drug anyway for other things.
      White Noise Working / Worked
      I like listening to the waves landing on the beach. If i concentrate on the noice it sort of drowns out the tinnius and also helps me to relax.
      Music Working / Worked
      For when I think I am going insane. I can not hear the tinnitus when you have loud music. It only works when you are on your own.

      Treatments

      Provigil Working / Worked

      I lost my first husband when I was 24 years old and our baby was one. That baby is 31 years old now, but I still miss his dad. My dad died suddenly and I had many things I should have talked to him about. I did not cry. My younger sister died of MS. A disease I have now too. I had to make the decision to stop the feeding tube so she could die. Horrific time. My eldest Sister died suddenly a year ago. I have taken this hard.

      Treatments

      Prayer Working / Worked
      Giving up on the trying to make sense of it. Giving things into Gods hands. Seeking His comfort. We are all going to die one day.
