10 mg......I don't like the hat. Not sure if I would take his advice seriously. LOL (Just kidding. Luv U Jack!)

[Sangye]

Also 10mg-- I say anything but the 'toon with the switchblade.

[pberggren1]

Yoda would be a good one to have!:cool:

[Jack]

I'm at ten so I say bring back the old Jack, that is Mr. Cohen.
Well done, it seems that only the Canadians on the Forum recognise him. :thumbup:

And by popular demand, he's back. :biggrin1:

[elephant]

Much better Jack, your wisdom goes with your original avatar. :)

[Sangye]

Yay! Jack's back!

Gosh, we're a picky bunch, aren't we? :laugh:

[Jack]

Very conservative certainly.

Remember that without change there can be no progress!

I might try morphing slowly from one avatar to the next so that no one notices. ;)

[Sangye]

LOL--I'd prefer a picture of you skateboarding rather than a 'toon.

Of course, I recognize my own hypocrisy-- I've got 2 dogs representing me. :w00t:

[pberggren1]

Actually that is not entirely true. There can be progress without change.

[Jack]

There can be progress without change.
Please explain in less than 300 words. Only write on one side of the paper. ;)

[Sangye]

ROTFL-- :laugh::laugh:

[pberggren1]

Please explain in less than 300 words. Only write on one side of the paper. ;)

Are you serious Jack? If you are I can explain in less than 300 probably.

[marta]

I must be the minority cuz I like the 'toon' for Jack's avatar. Oh, well, baby steps, hey Jack ....just like in Wegs. I'm getting used to being the minority, even within this group - ha ha.:huh:

Phil, I'd like to hear the explanation. I'm curious how you'll pull that one off.:blink:

[pberggren1]

Phil, I'd like to hear the explanation. I'm curious how you'll pull that one off.:blink:

It is very simple indeed. I can pull almost anything off, after all I am Batman.

[marta]

Bring it on Batman. I'm all ears (or eyes) (or cheeks - yah, definitely cheeks) - and I'm mom of Spiderman as you well know.

[Jack]

I'm all ears Phil, I seriously don't know how you can explain this one unless it is by some trick of the English language. ;)

[Geoff]

It is very simple indeed. I can pull almost anything off, after all I am Batman.

Phil, Is that why on your Avatar we can only see you from the neck up??

Are you really standing there with the full cape and ancillary gear on??

The Mind Boggles!!!:biggrin1:

[pberggren1]

There can be progress without change.

A perfect example is the flourishment of the Catholic Church in medieval times in Europe. Almost all of Europe was Catholic at this time up to the 16th century. The Church itself did not change but progressed in growing throughout Europe.

[Jack]

OK I'll let you off the hook, but I think it is playing with the usual interpretation of the line. :)

[Doug]

I missed the single biggest change on the site since all get out, and feel progress delayed is progress bought at a higher price. Seriously. I bet Jack, as an engineer, understands exactly what I mean. Now, for something slightly different. (The allusion to the Monty Python transition is intended to give my comment a comedic twist so I don't get grilled too much for being off topic... What's the topic??? Oh, "Funny Stuff"! Hear the Aussie joke about the Kiwi, the sheep, and the Kiwi's wife? No? Well, I was embarrassed, so it was a nervous laugh, not a gleeful one, when I heard the joke!) Um. Yeah, "slightly different": Had you changed your avatar regularly at irregular points, which I did, no one would get used to you as the hat-bedecked fellow, fount of wisdom. Even I can't remember what I started out with or anything after. I personally like my current Louie-doing-a-headstand avatar because it is in the spirit of my cat, a very funny fellow!

[Jack]

I was wondering where you had gone Doug. Not many posts this month and I always enjoy trying to interpret them! ;)

Yes, if you are going to make a change, do it now! I never had problems making decisions. :)

[Doug]

Between a visit from my sister from Seattle (fun!) and a crappy few weeks of trying to re-establish health insurance at the end of what I had through my old employer, I've not been able to keep up with this site. I came back to 52 updates today, after four days (I think) away. It's daunting.

Anyway, the governor of my state decided not to have this state join the federal program for uninsurables like weggies, and the state program, while taking in droves of alcoholics, people with HIV, diabetics, people with peripheral artery disease, survivors of cancer, looks like it won't take in the handful of weggies (whatever the hell they are?!!!), me included.

This is so off topic, I'll quit. Anyway, if I die because of the insurance issue, I will instruct my family to send the cremated ashes to Governor Heineman of the State of Nebraska. Ha! Ha! Ha! I knew I could get a little "Galgenhumor", as the Germans put it - black humor as we do- out of it. "Sends ashes to the governor of the state!" Great punchline if I do say so myself.

No way man, Jack is too kind, as Jack always is, I'm not letting you off the hook. Growing is change. If something is this big one day and bigger the next - it has changed. Sorry, the Bulgarian in the group disagrees.:sneaky:

By the way, have I mentioned that I am now on 17.5mg of pred and boy oh boy can I see a difference in my mood. Everything is irritating me, the dog, my non listening daughter, I'd say my husband but he's a member here now so he'll see (hi honey), the drivers on the road, the weather.... it goes on and on... It's funny cuz the silent observer in me can see it happening, knows why it's happening, knows it's unreasonable reactions to reasonable events, but can't do anything to change it. It's a permanent state of emotional vibration. It's quite something. I've been quite lucky thus far with the emotional side of pred world, but aha - just like you all said - here I am under 20 and poof, crazy pred girl.

And you are not crazy. I have noticed that whenever I am on Pred that I seem to constantly fidget, my mind is always going, constantly thinking about something, and always wanting to do something especially when on the higher doses because it gives you that false sense of energy. But pred effects everyone in a slightly different way. I know that sometimes I get quite short with people over very trivial things. Sometimes the bat cape comes out.:predrage::predrage:

[Sangye]

Phil, no way. Progress is not the same as expansion. I'm not letting you off the hook, either! The Greek in the group agrees with the Bulgarian in the group. :wink1::flapper:

Marta, that's very common with pred. The higher doses are more likely to create euphoria, while the bad mood and depression is more likely at lower doses. It'll get better as you drop down, but it's not uncommon for it to linger even after you're off pred.

There was a Sweed, a Bulgarian and a Greek. Guess which one is Batman.:glare:

Jack, now look at what you started. The women can't seem to drop this one.

Progress is not the same as expansion. Get real. It can so be.:tongue1::tongue1:

Here is what I think Jack's avatar should be:

I remember reading on here when I first got on that below twenty is when you start feeling the lower moods of the energy spectrum. It's funny because I've been feeling like this for three days now and I just started on 17.5 on Sunday. I'm OK right now as I type this but most of the day today I've been wanting to throttle animals and people (I never would though, cuz I'm a lover not a fighter) I hope this doesn't go on until AFTER I'm off pred, as it's a long road to that point. I might have to take some martial art to vent some of those feelings. Ha ha - :ohmy:

[Sangye]

Just take one day at a time, Marta. :smile1:

[elephant]

Ditto to what Sangye said. Hang in there Marta.:hug3:

unsure:unsure: what it is i dont know i slowly open the door !! to my surprise im covered in macaroni so is the floor ,the puppy , the shelves and the floor i laugh so much ,the puppy at this moment seeing how much of it he can eat

A healthy laugh won't harm us, and I doubt any but the hardest of hearts could witness this scene and not roll on the floor! (I did, and I am a cat guy!)

Many people ask me about Louie's earlier life.
As a rescue cat, I can only speculate, based on
what I've observed in his behavior.

[Doug]

685
[Given my Scottish heritage, imagine how
delighted I was when I discovered this
hidden talent of Louie's!]

[Doug]

686Catzilla ~ Coming to a theatre near you. Soon.

[Doug]

687

Think Louie's scary! Here's Oliver, a friend's cat in dinosaur mode! (I double dog dare you to click on Oliver's picture without taking your heart medicine first!)

[Doug]

688

Did I mention Louie dances a fine fandango?

[Doug]

689

If all else fails, I think
Louie could sell cheese!

[Sangye]

LOL-- I love those, Doug. My faves are the ballerina and cheese. Got me laughing out loud. :laugh::laugh:

[elephant]

Louie is very photogenic. She make a great model and sell lots of cheese.:tongue1:

[Doug]

[elephant ~ Technically, Louie isn't a "she" but is a neutered male. It seems irrelevent one way or the other, now, somehow!]

[Doug]

692

I don't think I posted this'n....
(Louie does it to me all the time,
sometimes stopping to use his
own "facility" while he's there.
Too much! Ew!]

693

[Nancy]

In our home - "fixed" animals become "it's" not him or her.... takes away the question if they were fixed what was wrong... : ) Great cat - if the cheese doesn't sell you can always use the same picture to show the flexibility of Louie to remove potential non-invited guests for the cheese... thus rendering it safe and delicious for all "people" to eat... no nibbles on the cheese!!

[Doug]

Ow! I have some difficulty going so far as using "it" for Louie, though I understand the thought process! Perhaps if I used the Italian term, "castrado" (as in the formerly male singers in opera and the Vatican Choir during the Baroque period through, actually, the early 1920s) I could handle it. That term acknowledges a status that is artificial and not (usually) the individual's choice.

[jola57]

Poor Louie, here, he is giving it all of himself to us in pictures and we are maligning his manhood, once again I might add. I still think SuperLouie is the best :thumbup:

[Nancy]

My hats off to you all.... The "it" is stated with the best of all love - not an alien type concept.... Kind of an endearing statement at worst.... but yes I agree, it does sound bad in print!

[Doug]

@Nancy ~ No harm intended, and no offense taken! It is an interesting topic (erm....) that pet owners address each in his or her way. Having put Louie's 3@77$ on the table, so to speak, I've decided the best way to think of him (High C) is as a castrado.

Ha! I love opera, and Louie sings to me all day long every dang minute of the day till I think I'm going nuts but find out no I'm going outside again with Louie while he takes death marches all over the complex pausing only outside people's bedroom and bathroom windows while I stand in the street looking at a cat but they think no he's looking at us dear call the police.

Castrado! (...and Super Hero, Captain Me-Ow!)

Doug, where did this come from?:unsure:

Kinda a freaky Doug, I don't want to eat raisens anymore.:ohmy::w00t:

[Sangye]

Doug, you gotta stop eating pizza before bedtime. :laugh::blink:

[Doug]

Doug, where did this come from?:unsure:

A person on DailyBooth posted it on his booth, and I saved it to my photo file. I have no idea where he got it, Phil. We all know what it is like, though, to have the mouth set for chocolate, then realize it's a nasty dried fruit! Ha! I actually like a good raisin-oatmeal cookie.

Elephant, you only suffer the effect when your mouth is set for chocolate, then you hit a raisin, so just look twice when you think it's a chocolate chip cookie....

Mmmm, pizza for breakfast! I wish I had had pizza last night because now I want some for breakfast, Sangye. The power of suggestion!

[Psyborg]

LOL I've had that exact reaction when finding a raisin in what I thought was a chocolate chip cookie :) And I agree with your take 100%, raisins are fine when you aren't primed for chocolate.

[Sangye]

LOL "primed for chocolate." It's true. :laugh:

[jola57]

MMMM chocolate, raisins yuck. For some reason I can and love raisins by themselves but cooked? yuck again.

[Doug]

MMMM chocolate, raisins yuck. For some reason I can and love raisins by themselves but cooked? yuck again.

That's the spirit! You tell them, Jolanta! No more cooked raisins! They are a healthy treat by themselves, but turning them into a cookie ingredient adds fat and sugars.

[pberggren1]

That's the spirit! You tell them, Jolanta! No more cooked raisins! They are a healthy treat by themselves, but turning them into a cookie ingredient adds fat and sugars.

What? Isn't the cookie already have fats and sugars? And how does cooking a raisin in a cookie turn it into fat and sugar?

[Doug]

What? Isn't the cookie already have fats and sugars? And how does cooking a raisin in a cookie turn it into fat and sugar?

That wasn't clearly written: No, it doesn't, but combining a healthy dried fruit treat with sugar and fat makes the healthy component secondary to the yummy part.

[Sangye]

Maybe some coffee would help.

[Nancy]

Sangye - you are the BEST!!!! for finding funny spots/videos and jokes.. Your additions always make me laugh really hard... BTW - have you recieved any insight to your edema? I saw my WEGS doc - my levels went to norm immediately after the med infusion - but since then ----- HELLO edema!!! Doc wants to try lasix and I am adding compression stocking... what is your choice of attempt to control poison? Good to see evrything is the same on the site! Talk to you soon..
Nancy

[Sangye]

Glad I can make you laugh. The edema has been a chronic problem. Doesn't respond to lasix or stockings. Dr Seo said his experience is that neither will help it. I'm not sure what to do about. I was going to consult with a cardiologist and/or nephrologist (even though I don't have any heart or kidney problems) but decided to wait until the new year.

[Sangye]

Okay, this is weird

http://icanhascheezburger.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/funny-pictures-boxing-cat.gif (http://www.wegeners-granulomatosis.com/forum/%3Ca%20href=)

[Nancy]

I agree - so far lasix is just another set of pills - vene tried to stage them through the day... no results.. and the compression stckings - do not tend to stop the pitting edema... I may look up one of the cardiologists that I know and see what they think... It hasn't bothered me except for limiting shoes because of the size of my calves... My feet do not swell just my lower legs... I wonder if anyone else has had this happen... I just have large moldable legs - no pain, no heart or pulmonary issues... They do not improve even in the morning... we will see... Thanks for the reply back...

[Jack]

but decided to wait until the new year.
I can just imagine your response if one of us said that! :flapper:

[pberggren1]

I can just imagine your response if one of us said that! :flapper:

I agree with Jack and I will also add: DO NOT WAIT.

[elephant]

Sangye and Nancy you both had RTX infusions...could it be a side effect from the drug? Maybe a rare side effect...doing something with the lower extremities ( vascular).

[Sangye]

Alright you guys... The edema has been chronic for nearly 4.5 YEARS. We've done every test to see what's causing it but everything comes up fine. I have bugged Dr Seo about it endlessly because it's a major problem for me. I've also seen numerous specialists. At my last visit Dr Seo said if I wanted to see a pulmy, cardiologist and/or nephrologist for input he'd be happy to refer me, though he didn't think they'd have anything to say since my lungs, heart and kidneys are all fine.

He thought it could be due to obstructive sleep apnea since he's seen that before. I've been trying to do a sleep study for 1.5 years but haven't been well enough to do it, or something comes up. (eg. Had it scheduled in July when the vertigo hit) I have one scheduled for next month and am determined to get it done. Though I don't want to be reliant on a machine at night, it'd be great if we could correct the extreme fatigue and leg swelling.

There is nothing about it that's urgent. We only talked about doing it before the end of the year because of busy holiday schedules. I decided to wait since I want to conserve my energy the next couple months. I've been trying to get back in the pool to exercise and I need to have energy on hand to do it on a regular basis. I have a lot of appts at JHU as it is, and each trip there wipes me out for days.

So there. :flapper::biggrin1:

[Sangye]

Sangye and Nancy you both had RTX infusions...could it be a side effect from the drug? Maybe a rare side effect...doing something with the lower extremities ( vascular).
Mine started long before rtx. Right after initial dx. All this time we've thought it was due to damage from the tons of blood clots I had, but I'm not so sure anymore.

[pberggren1]

We were just bugging you Sangye.:wink1:

[Jack]

Watch Sangye bite!
734


(Sorry, but it was a comment I could not resist making ;) )

[elephant]

Sangye glad you told us it was before RTX. About 6 months ago my left lower leg stopped getting swollen, I am wondering if it has to do with wegeners....did WG attack my blood vessels and caused congestion in the blood vessels...these are questions no one can answer.

[Sangye]

LOL Jack. That smiley cracks me up.

Elephant, I have no idea. The Wegs is quiet and the edema is the same. When the Wegs flares, it does cause more edema, though.

[Brooke]

Sangye -
Do you have it in both legs?
I had a blood clot 10 years ago in my right calf, so that calf has always been a bit larger than the left leg. I fell down a few steps earlier this year and had a large bump on my right leg, that finally has gone down. I too have edema in my right calf (seems like since that fall, but I don't exactly know for sure), I showed my doc at Mayo and she ordered a doppler, no blood clot. So she didn't recommend anything after that other than to wear my tet hose. When I wear that, the edema goes down a lot.
I think I have asked you before but have you tried wearing a compression stocking or tet hose stocking?

[Brooke]

Sorry - just read the previous page and I see comprssion hose and lasix do not work. Hmmm..... I hope you can find something that does.

[Nancy]

Jack - you are so on the mark!!!

My edema did not start until after the RTX infusions. I had a blood clot in my left leg - no different than my right and I have had a sono done x 2 - negative results. Although Sangye - I have nothing similar to Obstructive sleep apnea - I would like to see how he connects that to LE edema that doesn't respond to Lasix / compression stockings. I also have a new occurrence - anybody out there have ganglion cysts - otherwise known as "Bible bumps". I have suddenly started to have them show up on Top of my wrist as well as below, also in my elbows and knees along the tendons. NO pain - but hmmmmmmmmmm! Keep me appraised and if I come up with something - I will let you know!

[Sangye]

He didn't have an explanation for edema due to sleep apnea, just said it's something he's seen before. My guess is that my edema is due to adrenal problems. I think that would also explain a link between edema and sleep apnea. Sleep apnea causes episodic hypoxia and daytime fatigue--both stressors to the adrenal glands. This is why I want to rule out sleep apnea before seeing other specialists. Since I gained all this weight due to pred, I snore. I suspect I may have sleep apnea.

[Sangye]

My first blood clots were worse in the right leg, and until last year the right leg always swelled more than the left. Suddenly last year they switched. I have no idea why. :rolleyes1:

[jola57]

Jack, your smileys are great. That bird and cat are fabulous find, I wish I had half the rythym the bird has. LOL. I have noticed that my edema is less and less. I can wear regular shoes now, well sort off. they have to be 11W, where my normal size is 9.5 to 10. I am a frequent visitor of the Payless Shoes with a huge thanks for carrying size 11. Just a few short months ago nothing fit and my feet were like balloons. I wore ankle compression sleeves with an arch support insert tucked inside the sleeve for a year. The edema would go down during my sleep and was OK for most of the day, but by the night time it was back in its full glory. I am seeing the orthopede tomorrow morning about the foot pain.

Other than not having a big black patch over one eye, this dog looks so much like my dog Patch that it's scary. And Patch is crazy smart like this, too. Boy this was really spooky.

He didn't have an explanation for edema due to sleep apnea, just said it's something he's seen before. My guess is that my edema is due to adrenal problems. I think that would also explain a link between edema and sleep apnea. Sleep apnea causes episodic hypoxia and daytime fatigue--both stressors to the adrenal glands. This is why I want to rule out sleep apnea before seeing other specialists. Since I gained all this weight due to pred, I snore. I suspect I may have sleep apnea.

I have always snored a bit, but since starting prednisone, I have developed obstructive apnea.
3 years ago I developed shortness of breath with minimal exertion, including some sudden, unexplained air hunger during the night. (paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea) and nocturia - needing to get up to pee in the night.
All this time I have had lower extremity edema.
I also developed hypertension and fast resting heart rate. - and fatigue - and depression.

In sept. I met with a new primary care dr. who said she suspects diastolic dysfunction, which can lead to right heart failure. Google it. amazing stuff, and it fit me to a tee. Mind you, 3 years ago, when these symptoms started, I was thoroughly checked out by a cardiologist, but the only thing which would have shown up on echo at the time would have been thickened left ventricular wall. It was too early yet for that to have occurred, so I was given a clean bill of cardiac health.

I was started on lisinopril 20mg daily to help control blood pressure.
I had a sleep study which was a bit inconclusive because i COULDN'T sleep during it. Nonetheless, they were able to measure 49! episodes of apnea/hour.
I now have had a CPAP machine for 18 days, and my life is absolutely changed. I feel great. No edema. No snoring or periods of time without oxygen to the noggin. No needing to go to the bathroom at night. (My kidneys are perfusing sufficiently during the daytime, rather than when my feet are up)
No morning stiffness and greatly increased energy levels.

Possible causes of diastolic failure for me: prednisone related wt. gain, hypertension and incr. heart rate; , weakend cardiac tissue from WG., sleep apnea
Thanks to Rituxan, the WGs is under control. Sleep apnea under control. Now for the weight gain! Arrrgh.

Lola, that was great information and thanks for sharing your experience.

[Lola]

I am so happy to do so, if it will help just one person. I have a difficult time posting - putting myself out there. And I have to say, actuallyl showing up for this sleep study was a huge, huge deal to me. I was very resistant to the idea, being a newlywed and all. But in hindsight, I can see that my hideous snoring must have been far less attractive than this lovely mask that I wear every night now.

Hey gang, there is a section of prednisone only goodies. If you go to the left hand side and look under browse store click on the pred only section (there's a section for Weggie lovers too - but that's kinda boring) I'll throw some hoodies on the pred only section. The pred rage shoes are pretty cool for teenagers too. I'm debating getting myself a pair - you know, always trying to stay young. ha ha ha .:w00t:

I bought Hana (my little monkey) a pred rage toddler shirt (no weggie reference on it) and as she put it on, she modeled it for us, spinning around in fashionista style, saying "look mom, I'm a weggie". Sweet but a little scary. I'll have some hoodies without Weggie on board on there tonight sometime.

[LisaMarie]

great I'll let the youth know.......we are gonna start a trend

[andrew]

A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. This parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse vocabulary. Every word out of the birds mouth was rude, obnoxious and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary. Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. The Parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the parrot got angrier and even more rude.

John, in desperation, threw up his hands, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer. For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. Not a peep was heard for over a minute. Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the door to the freezer.

The parrot calmly stepped out onto john's outstretched arm and said, "I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions, I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate transgressions and I fully intend to do everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."

John was stunned as the change in the bird's attitude.

As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a dramatic change in his behavior, the bird spoke-up.

Very softly, he asked, "May I ask what the turkey did?"

Calmness in our life:

We all need calmness in our lives so here is some helpful advice we can all apply.

I am passing this on to you because it definitely works, and we could all use a little more calmness in our lives. By following simple advice heard on the Dr. Phil show, you too can find inner peace. Dr Phil proclaimed, "The way to achieve inner peace is to finish all the things you have started and have never finished."

So, I looked around my house to see all the things I started and hadn't finished, and before leaving the house this morning, I finished off a bottle of White Zinfandel, a bottle of Bailey's Irish Cream, a package of Oreos, the remainder of my old Prozac prescription, the rest of the cheesecake, some Doritos, and a box of chocolates, and a half bottle of scotch.

You have no idea how good I feel right now.
Pass this on to those whom you think might be in need of inner peace.

Government surveyors came to Ole's Minnesota farm last spring and asked if they could do some surveying. Ole agreed, and Lena even served them a nice meal at noontime.

After their work was done, the surveyors told Ole, "You were so kind to us, we wanted to give you the bad news in person, instead of by letter."

"What's the bad news?", asked Ole.

"Well, your farm is right on the state line," the surveyors said, "and after our work was completed, we realize your farm is not in Minnesota. It's actually in Iowa."

That's the best news I've had in a long time," said Ole. "I was just telling Lena this morning that I don't think I can take another winter in Minnesota!"

Thanx for all your Emails thru the year

As we progress through the year 2011, I want to thank all of you for your educational e-mails over the past year. I am totally screwed up now and have little chance of recovery.

I no longer open a bathroom door without using a paper towel, or have the waitress put lemon slices in my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel.

I can't use the remote in a hotel room because I don't know what the last person was doing while flipping through the adult movie channels.

I can't sit down on the hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed.

I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been driving because the number one pastime while driving alone is picking one's nose.

Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt trip because I can only imagine how many gallons of trans fats I have consumed over the years.

I can't touch any woman's purse for fear she has placed it on the floor of a public restroom.

I MUST SEND MY SPECIAL THANKS to whoever sent me the one about rat poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing.

ALSO, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl(Penny Brown)who is about to die for the 1,387,258th time.

I no longer have any money, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's Novena has granted my every wish.

I can't have a drink in a bar because I'll wake up in a bathtub full of ice with my kidneys gone.

I can't eat at KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes, feet or feathers.

I can't use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

THANKS TO YOU, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

BECAUSE OF YOUR CONCERN, I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer buy gas without taking someone along to watch the car so a serial killer doesn't crawl in my back seat when I'm filling up.

I no longer use Cling Wrap in the microwave because it causes seven different types of cancer.

AND THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW I can't boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face, disfiguring me for life.

I no longer go to the movies because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS when I sit down.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

And I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan.

I no longer buy cookies from Woolies since I now have their recipe.

THANKS TO YOU, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big black snake could be lurking under the seat and cause me instant death when it bites my butt.

AND THANKS TO YOUR GREAT ADVICE, I can't ever pick up any coin dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting to grab me as I bend over.

I can't do any gardening because I'm afraid I'll get bitten by the Violin Spider and my hand will fall off.

If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 p.m. tomorrow afternoon, and the fleas from 120 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's best friend's beautician.

Oh, by the way.....

A German scientist from Argentina, after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their e-mail with their hand on the mouse.

Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late.

P.S. I now keep my toothbrush in the living room, because I was told by e-mail that water splashes over 6 feet out of the toilet.

NOW YOU ALL HAVE YOURSELVES A VERY GOOD DAY…

[drz]

Happy Holidays and Best Wishes for good New Year!

My Wishes For You:


May peace break into your home and
May thieves come to steal your debts.


May the pockets of your jeans
Become a magnet for $100 bills.


May love stick to your face like Vaseline
And may laughter assault your lips!


May happiness slap you across the face
And may your tears be that of joy


May the problems you had
Forget your home address!

Article by Rebecca Dudley that people found hilarious.

My ex-husband had this annoying habit of bringing greasy old carburetors and things into the house to work on. So, last week, when my friend called to tell me this story my first response was “Where did this guy live?” Now reassured that I was never related to him by marriage, this really is too hilarious not to share. The way my friend told it this guy pushed his motorcycle from the patio into his living room, where he began to clean the engine with some rags and a bowl of gasoline. When he finished, he sat on the motorcycle and decided to start it to make sure everything was still OK. Unfortunately, the bike started in gear, and crashed through the glass patio with him still clinging to the handlebars. His wife had been working in the kitchen. She came running at the noise, and found him crumpled on the patio, badly cut from the shards of broken glass. She called 911, and the paramedics transported the guy to the emergency room. So far the story is humorous- in a “that is what you get for being a big enough lout to bring your motorcycle into the house” kind of way. But here is where I really split a gut. Later that afternoon, after many stitches had pulled her husband back together, the wife brought him home and put him to bed. She cleaned up the mess in the living room and dumped the bowl of gasoline in the toilet. Shortly thereafter, her husband woke up, lit a cigarette, and went into the bathroom. He sat down and tosses the cigarette into the toilet, which promptly exploded because the wife had not flushed the gasoline away. The explosion blew the man through the bathroom door. The wife heard the explosion and her husband’s screams. She ran into the hall and found him lying on the floor with his trousers blown away and burns on his buttocks. The wife again ran to the phone and called for an ambulance. The same two paramedics were dispatched to the scene. They loaded the husband on the stretcher and began carrying him to the street. One of them asked the wife how the injury had occurred. When she told them, they began laughing so hard that they dropped the stretcher and broke the guy’s collarbone.

THE DEAF BOOKKEEPER

A Mafia Godfather finds out that his bookkeeper has cheated him out of ten
million bucks. His bookkeeper is deaf.
That was the reason he got the job in the first place. The Don assumed that
a deaf bookkeeper would not hear anything that he might have to testify
about in court.
When the Godfather goes to confront the bookkeeper about his missing $10
million, he brings along his attorney, who knows sign language.
The Godfather tells the lawyer, "Ask him where the 10 million bucks he
embezzled from me is."
The attorney, using sign language, asks the bookkeeper where the money is.
The bookkeeper signs back: "I don't know what you are talking about."
The attorney tells the Godfather: "He says he doesn't know what you're
talking about."
The Godfather pulls out a pistol, puts it to the bookkeeper's temple and
says, "Ask him again!"

The attorney signs to the bookkeeper: "He'll kill you if you don't tell
him!" The bookkeeper signs back: "OK! You win! The money is in a brown
briefcase, buried behind the shed in my cousin Enzo's backyard in Queens !"
The Godfather asks the attorney: "Well, what'd he say?"
The attorney replies: "He says you don't have the guts to pull the trigger"

North Dakota humor:

Three Norwegians from Minnesota go down to Mexico to celebrate their college graduation. They get drunk, and wake up in jail, only to find that they are to be executed in the morning, though none of them can remember what they did the night before.


The first one, Sven, is strapped in the electric chair, and is asked if he has any last words. He says, "I yust graduated from St. Olaf College in Northfield Minnesota and believe in the almighty power of God to intervene on the behalf of the innocent."


They throw the switch and nothing happens. They all immediately fall to the floor on their knees; beg for Sven's forgiveness, and release him.


The second, Lars, is strapped in and gives his last words, "I yust graduated from da Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota and I believe in the power of justice to intervene on the part of the innocent.."

They throw the switch and, again, nothing happens. Again, they all immediately fall to their knees; beg for his forgiveness, and release him.

The last one, Ole, is strapped in and he says, "Vell, den, I'm from Nort' Dakota State in Fargo and I yust graduated vit a degree in Electrical Engineering, and I'll tell ya right now, ya ain't gonna electrocute nobody if you don't plug this ting in."

There are more people living inthe USA with Norwegian ancestors than in Norway. Most of them settled in Minnesota and bordering states. North Dakota has the highest percentage of people with Norwegian ancestry and they love making fun of themselves with Ole and Lena jokes, and Ole, Sven and Lars jokes. People from Norway don't understand this type of humor and may not even appreciate it since you don't hear these type of jokes in Norway. So how will it play in Sweden? If it offends anyone here we can delete it

I dont´t think anyone get offended by this. Norweigans are used to us making fun of them so the story about Ole, Sven and Lars are exactly the kind of jokes that are told here in Scandinavia. In Sweden the persons are norweigans, in Norway they are swedish. All in good humor and with heart.

It's not. It was photoshopped (http://funnyjunk.com/funny_pictures/98567/Anatidaephobia/) to demonstrate the phobia some people have of a duck watching them. :flapper:

Anatidaephobia (http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1249339/anatidaephobia_the_fear_that_you_are.html?cat=70) is defined as a pervasive, irrational fear that one is being watched by a duck.

I should have guessed that, based on your surname, that you had roots in Sweden. Do you have any traditions from your grand parents that you keep alive or speak any swedish?

Unfortunately not. My Grandpa visited Sweden 3 times. I wish I could have gone with him, but I was young and in school. What part of Sweden do you live? I do remember my Grandma had a cassette of funny and silly Swedish songs. I remember one called: Catch a pickled herring, put it in a barrel, save it for a rainy day. We used to laugh all night listening to that. I also have some Norwegian in me as well. I am related to some Larsons and Dahlmans. I would love to visit that part of Europe.

Don´t recognize the song, but I bet there are tons of silly songs that I don´t know :-)
I live in the north part of Sweden, it´s about 1 300 miles north of Stockholm. If I did the math correctly, we use kilometers instead of miles... It´s about an hour by plane. If you get the chance do visit Sweden, or all of Scandinavia. Every country has it´s charm. Like everywhere else in the world I guess, but it´s only natural to be a bit proud of your home. Isn´t it?!

How eight year olds view grandparents.

What is a grandparent? If you are not a grandparent you will still love this. If you are it shows how precious the babies are and what we mean to them.

Taken from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds:

Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of their own. They like other people's.

A grandfather is a man, & a grandmother is a lady!

Grandparents don't have to do anything except be there when we come to see them. They are so old they shouldn't play hard or run. It is good if they drive us to the shops and give us money.

When they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.

They show us and talk to us about the colors of the flowers and also why we shouldn't step on “cracks.”

They don't say, “Hurry up.”

Usually grandmothers are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes.

They wear glasses and funny underwear.

They can take their teeth and gums out.

Grandparents don't have to be smart.

They have to answer questions like “Why isn't God married?” and “How come dogs chase cats?”

When they read to us, they don't skip. They don't mind if we ask for the same story over again.

Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don't have television because they are the only grownups who like to spend time with us.

They know we should have snack time before bed time, and they say prayers with us and kiss us even when we've acted bad.

A 6-year old was asked where his grandma lived. “Oh,” he said. She lives at the airport, and when we want her, we just go and get her. Then when we’re done having her visit, we take her back to the airport.”

Grandpa is the smartest man on earth! He teaches me good things, but I don’t get to see him enough to get as smart as him.

It's funny when they bend over. You hear gas leaking, and they blame their dog.

THE 2010 DARWIN AWARDS


You've been waiting for them with bated breath, so without further ado, here are the 2010 Darwin Awards.

Eighth Place: In Detroit, a 41-year-old man got stuck and drowned in two feet of water after squeezing head first through an 18-inch-wide sewer grate to retrieve his car keys.

Seventh Place: A 49-year-old San Francisco stockbroker, who "totally zoned when he ran," accidentally jogged off a 100-foot high cliff on his daily run.

Sixth Place: While at the beach, Daniel Jones, 21, dug an 8 foot hole for protection from the wind and had been sitting in a beach chair at the bottom, when it collapsed, burying him beneath 5 feet of sand. People on the beach used their hands and shovels trying to get him out but could not reach him. It took rescue workers using heavy equipment almost an hour to free him. Jones was pronounced dead at a hospital.

Fifth Place: Santiago Alvarado, 24, was killed as he fell through the ceiling of a bicycle shop he was burglarizing. Death was caused when the long flashlight he had placed in his mouth to keep his hands free rammed into the base of his skull as he hit the floor.

Fourth Place: Sylvester Briddell, Jr., 26, was killed as he won a bet with friends who said he would not put a revolver loaded with four bullets into his mouth and pull the trigger.

Third Place: After stepping around a marked police patrol car parked at the front door, a man walked into H&J Leather & Firearms intent on robbing the store. The shop was full of customers and a uniformed officer was standing at the counter. Upon seeing the officer, the would-be robber announced a hold-up and fired a few wild shots from a target pistol. The officer and a clerk promptly returned fire, and several customers also drew their guns and fired. The robber was pronounced dead at the scene by Paramedics. Crime scene investigators located 47 expended cartridge cases in the shop. The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds. Ballistics identified rounds from 7 different weapons. No one else was hurt.

HONORABLE MENTION: Paul Stiller, 47, and his wife Bonnie were bored just driving around at 2 A.M. So they lit a quarter stick of dynamite to toss out the window to see what would happen. Apparently they failed to notice that the window was closed.

RUNNER UP: Kerry Bingham had been drinking with several friends when one of them said they knew a person who had bungee-jumped from a local bridge in the middle of traffic. The conversation grew more excited, and at least 10 men trooped along the walkway of the bridge at 4:30 AM. Upon arrival at the midpoint of the bridge, they discovered that no one had brought a bungee rope. Bingham, who had continued drinking, volunteered and pointed out that a coil of lineman's cable lay nearby. They secured one end around Bingham's leg and then tied the other to the bridge. His fall lasted 40 feet before the cable tightened and tore his foot off at the ankle. He miraculously survived his fall into the icy water and was rescued by two nearby fishermen. Bingham's foot was never located.

AND THE WINNER IS... Zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt ( Paderborn , Germany ) fed his constipated elephant 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally got relief. Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded. The sheer force of the elephant's unexpected defecation knocked Mr Riesfeldt to the ground where he struck his head on a rock as the elephant continued to evacuate 200 pounds of dung on top of him. It seems to be just one of those freak accidents that proves... “S-- t happens,” that immortal bit of “hippie” philosophy.

IT ALWAYS SEEMS IMPORTANT TO THANK THESE PEOPLE FOR REMOVING THEMSELVES FROM THE GENE POOL.

HOW IS NORMA?


A sweet grandmother
Telephoned St. Joseph 's Hospital. She timidly asked,
"Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?"

The operator said,
"I'll be glad to help, dear. What's the name and room number of the patient?"

The grandmother in her weak, tremulous voice said,
"Norma Findlay, Room 302."

The operator replied,
"Let me put you on hold while I check with the nurse's station for that room."

After a few minutes, the operator returned to the phone and said,
"I have good news. Her nurse just told me that Norma is doing well.
Her blood pressure is fine; her blood work just came back normal and
her
Physician, Dr. Cohen, has scheduled her to be discharged tomorrow."

The grandmother said,
"Thank you. That's wonderful. I was so worried. God bless you for the
good News."

The operator replied,
"You're more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?"

The grandmother said,"No, I'm Norma Findlay in Room 302. No one tells me s**t

Giving up Chocolate! (includes milkduds)

Giving Up Chocolate



I was walking down the street when I was accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who asked me for a couple of dollars for dinner.

I took out my wallet, got out ten dollars and asked,'If I give you this money, will you buy chocolate with it instead of dinner?'

'No, I had to stop eating chocolate years ago', the homeless woman told me.

'Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?' I asked.

'No, I don't waste time shopping,' the homeless woman said. 'I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive.'

'Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?' I asked.

'Are you NUTS!' replied the homeless woman. I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!'

'Well, I said, 'I'm not going to give you the money.. Instead, I'm going to take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight.'

The homeless Woman was shocked. 'Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty disgusting.'

I said,'That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping, hair appointments, and chocolate.'

Big snow storm is getting worse!

I just got off the phone with my cousin living in northern North Dakota near
the Canadian border. She said that since early this morning the snow has been
nearly waist high and is still falling. The temperature is dropping way
below zero and the north wind is increasing to near gale force. Her husband has
done nothing but look through the kitchen window and just stare. She says
that if it gets much worse,she may have to let him in.
