Myasthenia Gravis Support Group
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular disease leading to fluctuating muscle weakness and fatiguability. The hallmark of myasthenia gravis is muscle weakness that increases during periods of activity and improves after periods of rest. Although myasthenia gravis may affect any voluntary muscle, muscles that control eye and eyelid movement, facial expression, and...
Please add jokes, but I will start with a story.
This morning I went back to working on the meadow, digging weeds out of dry contractors clay, yuk, and decided to rest by planting in dry contractors clay covered with some good soil provided by two years of my husbands mulching.
So go to turn the water on--it's our studio and Bob turns it off every night since the flood, another story, and we have yellow jackets at the utility door--I remembered when I tried to open it and they came out. Then I remember Bob said he turned it off at the street. So here I go looking under our enormous juniper for the water meter and in the garage and find the tool clearly marked by hubby as to which direction to turn the water off and on. So I twist it in the "on" direction, go back to the back where the hose is connected--no water.
So I think maybe you just turn it 90 degrees, not 180, so back for the tool and the heavy lid and 90 degrees--no water.
So maybe I didn't turn it far enough, 180 degrees plus a push-no water. So I meet my hubby as I am stomping up the hill to the house to demand why I am not getting any water.
He had also turned it off in the utility closet at the yellow jacket nest! So he will turn it on--good! And he did. Now I am ready for a rest, but remember I had not put the lid on the meter securely--he would take care of that. He comes back and says, "you were really mad" (he noticed! ) you broke it--turning it too far and he can't budge it (don't know why he tried--the water is finally on). I tried, I can't budge it either. They are coming to fix the meter, but the water is stuck at ON and the yellow jackets are guarding the utility door and until the meter man comes, I can get some work done!
The neuromuscular fellow said my strength may be 5/5, but that didn't mean it was my 5/5. Too bad he wasn't here this morning for a demonstration. Kudos for medication for weak muscles! Lunch is over, better take advantage of the circumstances. b.

Gabriel went to the Lord and said, "I have to talk to you. We have some
Texans****
up here who are causing
some real problems.. They're swinging on the Pearly Gates, my horn is
missing, and they are wearing T-shirts instead of their robes; there's
... barbecue and picante sauce all over everything, especially their T-shirts;
their dogs are riding in the chariots and chasing the sheep. They are
wearing baseball caps and cowboy hats instead of their halos.
They refuse to keep the stairway to Heaven clean, and their boots are
marking and scuffing up the halls of Wisdom. There are watermelon seeds
and tortilla chip crumbs all over the place. Some of them are walking
around with just one wing; and they insist on bringing their darn horses
with them."
The Lord said, "Texans are Texans, Gabriel. Heaven is home to all of my
children. If you want to know about real problems, call the Devil.."
So Gabriel calls the Devil who answers the phone and says, "Hello -- hold
on a minute." When he returns to the phone the Devil says, "O.K., I'm
back. What can I do for you?" Gabriel replied, "I just want to know what
kinds of problems you are having down there with the Texans." The Devil
said, "Hold on again. I need to check on something." After about 5
minutes the Devil returned to the phone and said. "I'm back. Now what was
the question?" Gabriel said, "What kind of problems are you having down
there with the Texans?" The Devil said, "Man, I don't believe this...hold
on!!!!"
This time the Devil was gone 15 minutes and when he returns he says, "I'm
sorry Gabriel -- I can't talk right now!! Red Adair has put out the fire
here and now Brown & Root is installing air conditioning!!!!"

When I was ready to pay for my groceries?
The cashier looked at me, and said, "Strip down, facing me."
I did as I was asked, no problem.
When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided?
I found out - that she was referring to my credit card.
I have been asked to shop elsewhere in the future.
(.. you see? Some Mg'ers - you CAN mess with!)
There was a gentlman who walked into a store and started to whirl his seeing eye dog around his head by his leash like a lasoo? He walked from one end of the store to another til the salesman finally said, excuse me, but what are you doing?" Nothing," he replied, "Just looking around!"
Did you hear the one about the guy who was in a baad accident!!
He's alright!! lol
I think I have told those before, can't remember. Hopefully you guys wont remember hearing them either.
