Okay, this is just for fun:
1. Stairs
2. "Normal" people who seem to require much attention for normal aches and illnesses that will pass.
3. Okay..you add #3.......jc

All of the above, but most of all, I hate having porphyria as well as having an injured spine. I just cannot go out in the sun or normal daylight, without horrible effects, I would love to sit outside in the garden and read a book and do some gardening.

I sound to be a real moaning minnie, but I AM thankful for my many blessings.

Planning my day in the morning!

Used to lay there planning my entire day and picturing how clean the house would be at the end. Now, I just wonder if I can accomplish the critical chores.

kate,

I have to agree!!! I can't stand the slurping.
Also, people who stir and stir and stir and stir and stir
and stir their morning caffenie drink. Really, it does not take 15 minutes for sugar to dissolve.

Sunny that has got to be a nervous habit.... all that stirring.

I do not like to hear a ball point pen being clicked over and over and over and over..................................

Sorry your showers are so painful Eeyow. Do you have an adjustable showerhead where you can put it on a very light sprinkle setting?

FightingFibro, I think I might have an answer to your neighbors' dogs bark,bark, barking. My son gave me a "Bark-Off" for my birthday. It's sound activated and emits a high frequency signal that humans can't hear, but dogs can. Works so well, they bark once and then stop. It is battery operated. He got it at CVS. Best $10 he ever spent. No kidding!

Changing the sheets on my bed - I cant do it I have to ask for help.

The sound of sreaming crying kids when Im in pain- Its like someone scratching there nails down a blackbord it irritates me.

Being in a busy public place where "normal' people dont watch out for others in a wheelchair or with a walking stick- Very annoying I worry that I'm going to get knocked to the ground.
