I don't have MS! ha! I can stop all these stupid meds now.
Oh, I guess I should tell you the story behind this.... My mother just called me after she went out with her friends and they hit up the local psychic. Now according to my mother who needed to call me and relay the information she received....the psychic says I don't have MS! Isn't that fabulous?!?!? Instead she says I have some kind of predisposition causing my antibodies to attack my body when I am stressed out and that all i need to do is de-stress. Oh, and according to the psychic I have to eat sweet potatoes, asparagus, and eggplant all together at least 3 times a week and I will be cured. It's a MIRACLE! Oh the psychic also guessed i would be a smart ***** skeptic too. Wow she's right about everything. She also ended by telling my mom she should sell her house and move to Ireland where she should teach nursing at a convalescent home for the elderly... because my grandma (who died in 1987) told her so. Ok so that one wasn't so far fetched except...oh yeah mom doesn't even have a nursing degree, she does have a degree in social services and another in human resource management which explains why she has been working in mortgage for the last 15 years..... Yes, I'm "in a mood". But this tends to happen when your mother calls you up to tell you that all of the doctors and all of the testing is wrong and all i have to do is eat my veggies. I did tell her she can't sell the house and move to Ireland because I plan on selling the house to use the money to pay for her nursing home where she will be locked in a padded room so the psychic friends and fairies can't get her. Bet the psychic didn't see that straight jacket coming.... Tough love is so much more fun when it's combined with self love. Ok, I am done ranting now.

HA HA I love sweet potatoes of course the butter and brown sugar help, I like eggplant if it's fried and smothered in cheese sauce and I like asparagus if it is battered and fried. So let's think about this for a moment....... How do you combine the 3? Do I make a big bad for you salad loaded with sugar and butter and cheese and mix it all into a ball and deep fry it? Hey I tried the copaxone because the doctor said... I mean all jokes aside I am willing to eat my veggies. For my crazy mother and her psychic friends I will give it a shot.

They say a good laugh everyday is great for our health anyway... so do you call your mom everyday??
I'd have peed my pants and then some if my mom told me she visited a psychic and came up with that.  OH and a recipe... the eggplant and asparagus would be good in a veggie lasagna and a sweet potato pie for dessert!

Mmmmm! Asparagus! (only vegetable other than corn that I will grab first when offered a choice of asparagus or another veggie)
I just dont like the aftereffects that I get from asparagus. (it's a natural diuretic) But, gosh it's tasty! I have never had fried asparagus. I wonder if any local restaurants sell that? I always thought that it was asparagus, corn and mashed potatoes, all mixed together that was the cure for MS. I guess I was wrong...but it's still tasty. (mashed potatoes keep the asparagus and corn nice and warm)

Ok Legzz,
Now, tell me they didn't actually pay the psychic for this diagnosis, did they?   Anyway, enjoy the asparagus, but maybe you can wait for the fresh spring harvest?

Ha Ha yes I do call my mother every day at least twice a day or she drives 50 miles to my house to ask me why I am not answering my phone. And yes they did pay the psychic. LOL Thus proving I am in the wrong profession.
My fiance summed it up last night he says and I quote: I always knew you were crazy but I didn't know you came from a long line of crazy. Told him I am third generation crazy and if he doesn't believe me he can ask my dead grandma. LOL
