Not be retired and disabled at age 48. Have a real job and make an income. Be one of those people that won't even take an aspirin. Wear beautiful clothes again and have a nice hairdo. Not worry or irritate my husband so much.

Mere, no triplets???

You are too sweet....YOU are inspirational....don't worry about not having a job....Go shopping and buy a beautiful outfit...that will make hubby happy!

Yes, neuropathy robs us of a lot of dreams.....but it does not rob us of our intrinsic worth.

Lesley -

Love your elephant pic.

Actually, I did ride an elephant once in a parade. Thought I was going to be horribly bowlegged for the rest of my life.

WOW, you rode an elephant! I would need a xanax to do that. LOL

Default Buy a pair of Red High Heels!

Oh Cyclops I loved Loved Loved your poem!

I would wear a pair of red high heels and march in front of the bicycle built for ten with a bataan!

I would run with my Grandchildren and swim every day.
I would hike the Sierra mountains again.
I would take my grandchildren camping and fishing.
I would throw out all this medication and wake up with a clear head every day.
I would wake up every morning and run 6 miles like I used to!

Oh, if only I didn't have PN! My life would be sooooo incredibly different!

Instead, I am where I am. Old before my time, fatter than I should be, sitting on the sidelines like a zombie because my meds make me that way.
But we are here, with our sarcastic attitudes and our memories of life before PN. Like old people in a nursing home watching out the window, remembering what life used to be. Living inside our own minds, knowing we will never be those healthy, energetic, carefree people again.

I don't know if I like this exercise. It made me happy for a minute, then made me mad. Mad that I'm stuck inside this retirement home looking outside the windows and watching life pass me by!
O.K. bring on the elephants!

Smile Oui! ~

Cy's BRILLIANT poetic ineptitude adds such a wonderful dimension to all of our dreams, goals and aspirations......NONE of which are in the realms of impossible IMO!

As i dig deeper into my left pocket, I find more 'smilies' from the confines of my secret dark underworld of improvisational cyber-stupidity......
.... in honor of Lesley

Running along the beach in honor of Echoes........the hairdo is in honor of Mere

....this would, of course, be Darlinda swimming the ocean....(?)...although I don't know why she insisted on Mere's hairdo .......and I can't explain the sidekick....he's just thrown in for good measure I spose....

....Sarah Mae, you RIDE girl!!.....(it's rather obvious at this point that Mere's hairdo has caught on)

....and of course me and my aspiration to ride again!

...for Sheltiemom

I LOVE the idea of a movie!! With Cy's intellectual capability in the fine Arts of Screenplay Mastery, and I'm sure we ALL have some inborn sense of acting skills which could render us in some major production company!

Who will be our casting director?! MrsD is on vacation, so we've got to float this boat on our own Mate~s !

Cy already gets dibbs on Sandra Bullock
I will have none other than Johnny Depp play my character......(?)...course he'd need a sex change....or not? He's always open to venturing into the unknown as far as taking on lunatic rolls in his films.....

.....Let the LEGENDS Live On!!......
...and may our dreams never be jaded!
AMEN!

Love love love it! You are SO fun! My hair has changed quite a bit, but hey, if I can get rid of some pain, I'll take any hairdo you would like! haha

Mere I also would still be working, I keep saying on good days maybe I could go back even part time then I get a bad day and I throw that out the window.

Cyclops I would love to ride your 10 seater bike, but could it be laid back style, like they have in the gyms. also I think Kathy Bates would be great for my part in the movie.

Rrae I love your graphics, thank you for the pic of me on an Elephant, I can keep dreaming.

Sweet dreams to everyone

Default what I would do

Loved reading this reply this a.m. I would jump out of an airplane that is good condition. Skydiving was a hoot, and I would do it again and again if I could.
