Subject: Laugh List
When first diagnosed with PD I went thru some
serious lows...in trying to stay "up" I started to use each frustration in a
more positive light..turning them into something humerous as I went
along...hence the Laugh List! I'm sure many can relate..... You
might suspect Parkinson's if: you clean 48 cans out of 50 off the
grocery shelf retrieving the 2 you really wanted. or if: you
find yourself waving at people you really don't like. or if: you finish
doing your breakfast dishes and it's getting dark outside. or if: you're
biggest challenge in life has become doing up your shirt buttons. or if:
you're second biggest challenge is doing up your shoelaces..or if : you've
just come in 43rd in a footrace with 43 runners. or if: whilst
spring cleaning, you find yourself putting everything in your kitchen on the
middle shelf. or if it takes BOTH hands to write a letter, bruh
your teeth, turn on the water tap, answer the phone...or if: it
takes BOTH HANDS and BOTH FEET to open the refridgerator door! or
if: your cat gets fed up waiting for you to get the can open and decides
to eat your favorite plant instead! or if: you've started wearing your
jacket backwards because it's easier to get on. or if: everything
on your grocery list begins with the words
"pre-packaged." Hope you all enjoy...especially the
great humorist Darwin! I will be off-line for a few days..my server is
doing repairs and I better get at Lisa and Eric's paintings...back soon
