Sound like therapy? Tell your fellow members one interesting fact about yourself. It can be an experience, something you love to do, a talent you might have or even an interesting coping skill you would like to share. In observance of Memorial Day, thank you to all who serve or have served protecting our great Country.

Since it is Memorial Day... I served for 33 years in the military and am now a 100% disabled veteran. I made 6 combat deployments.

I was not suppose to be born alive and if i was they said i would not have developed lungs. Mom and i were both suppose to die during my birth, i was full placenta previa and this was in the 80s. I was born at least 6 weeks early came out screaming and we are both here. Only had to stay in the hospital for a week for jaundice. Were both doing well almost 36 years later! I tried to come a month sooner than i did but they were able to stop the hemorrhaging.

Thor, thank you for your service. I am sorry about your disability. You led a very honorable career.

Leo, Sorry summer is coming. I know in some areas it’s quite hot and miserable. Here where I live it’s not so hot,

Muji, what can I say? You are always thinking of others. Thank you.

AJ, wow your life started out shakey, but a miracle happened. I was born at 6 months. I was 3 pounds 6 oz. my mom would dress me in doll clothes because baby clothes wouldn’t fit. My grandmother ended up making my clothes until I fit into newborn sizes.

Thank you everyone for sharing. For me, I am disabled from multiple car accidents, I spent 34 years in public service and taught martial arts.

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.

    Today (August 8) is INternational Cat Day. Don't click away! International DOG day is August 26! Both were created to raise aweareness and funds for the well-being of critters. We have many such dayts, to the pint that every day is like an old Catholic saints' day calendar: Take your pick!I'm home, obvs, and still ill. Left calf and foot not great after a tangle-fall, but i'll live. Just can't...
