Secretary of Defense. I am sure, with Rose as the Secretary of Defense, there would be much needed guidance and advisement on how to run this country of ours.

And Glen. I have a nice position for you. We would create a new post.
Official liason on Neuropathy.

That means, whenever a new research is developed and we have to wait years and years for the FDA to approve it, we just all go to Glen and say "give us the pills". And Glen would say "no problem"

So people with the pins and needles and pain would know that there is a neuropathy guy looking out for their best interest.

Ah we can but dream that this might happen someday.

But honesly, I do think there should be an appointee in the white house that would be a kind of liason for people with special needs. That need to be listened to.

I seem to remember that Dolores Hart (the actress who became a nun) some time ago went before Congress or the Senate (or something) and gave a plea on Peripheral Neuropathy.

Now if a nun can't get the job done, who on earth can????

OH, and here's something funny. Alan comes home from the gym carrying a package and says "do you want your Christmas Present now?" I said amazingly "you got me a christmas present"??? (He doesn't believe in giving presents by the way). So he says "sure" and I said No, give it to me on Christmas.

So naturally, while we were laying down taking a nap before dinner (being a curious woman, I'm trying to guess what he bought me". I'm going. Do I wear it? he goes "yes". I go, Can you smell it?" he goes "i have no idea". I said what color, he goes "i don't know".

So I go, "you bought me a present, you don't know what color, but I can wear it and you don't know if it smells?" He goes "All I can tell you is that it's a brand name". I said "what the heck does that mean?" and he goes ........
Well, it was a choice between this and a clock radio with little animals on it that wakes you up with animal sounds" I looked at him and said "do I look like a woman who wants to wake up to animal sounds?" And he goes "that's why I didn't get it, I got the brand name."

Then he goes "it's a set, there's more than one, and that's all I'm going to tell you." Then he says "Oh, and I didn't do the strawberry thing either?"

Now here's the funny thing about the strawberries.

Years and years ago, he finally bought me something for my birthday. I open it up and it was some gift set from "The Healing Garden". it was strawberry shower gelee, strawberry body lotion, strawberry foot creme, etc. etc.
So I take my shower, use all the products, get into bed and all of a sudden, Alan starts saying "why am I hungry, I'm dying for a bowl of fruit, what the heck is wrong with me". I never laughed so hard in all my life.

So now we get back to my upcoming present that is now hidden in the living room. He keeps saying "Remember, it's a brand name". I said "what does that mean"? and he goes "when you look at it you'll go, Oh, I know that name" then he hits me with the big clue (and if anybody has an idea what he gave me, feel free to tell me.

He says "when you go to the gym, you'll be glad you have this". I said "I need this at the gym?" and he goes, "remember it's a brand name". (So there we go again with the brand name". I asked him if it was body lotion, foot creme, soap, etc. he kept saying, nope nope. All he would say is "when you go to the gym, you'll be glad you have this".

I ruled out a bathrobe, slippers, etc.

So if you have a clue and remember IT'S A BRAND NAME!!!!
try guessing.

Giving you all a big hug for Christmas.
