What Am I?
 

Describe something that makes your life with Parkinson's easier, and we will guess what it is. Your description does not have to be in any particular form, such as poetry, but that is okay as well. Here is mine:



There they lie, requiring no aluminum foil
Even after 3 or more years they will not spoil.
snuggled up tgether they're patiently waiting.
They lie silently, humbly, with no debating.
One does not say to the other, "It's my turn next."
Nor does he push and shove to make another vexed.
When called upon to serve, one is ready on deck,
with its slender body and crooked little neck.
It serves me well, this helpful little friend of mine,
and delivers the goods each and every time.
Whether called upon for soups or for nectars sweet,
and whether hot or cold my tastebuds they will treat.
And then without so much as a, "Thank you," from me,
I throw it away, for it was practically free.

What am I?

Prune?

I am in every one's memory,
I am a work of stimulating art,
I stimulate all five senses,
I can be classical or top of the chart,
I fill you up with anger,
or fill you with love
I can roar like a cannon
or be sweet as a dove.
You may make me by chanting
Or you can just enjoy,
The gift I impart to you,
Every woman, man, girl or boy.

What am I?

UH?
 

Music?


Prunes? no, not prunes

Peeps?

It was love at first byte, as the story goes,
my little chest of rooms with no frills or bows.
At first she gave me but a cold, glassy stare.
Ill show you who's boss. She said, "You can't go there."
In frustration, I tried a different approach.
I went to counsel and tried to get a coach.
"It's easy," he said, "Just abide by the rules."
Meaning, this lady didn't listen to fools.
I sat there one night going over the facts,
and discovered why she acts the way she acts.
If in this chest of rooms I wanted to play,
Within her guidelines I was required to stay
I now understand my lady with no frills.
She even reminds me when to take my pills.

What am I?

A Cat? Or a Dog?

A "female" computer

Sorry, Vicky....not a dog or cat.


but THELMA GETS A PRIZE...A COMPUTER IS THE RIGHT ANSWER!!!!

michael b.

Congratulations Thelma
 

I am striking 0 at this point. :thud:


Vicky

She can't do without me.
 

I have rivals to be sure
but I know that I'll endure
proud and straight, I'm also humble
stuck in corners, left behind,
I don't grumble,
I don't mind,
I'm the one she likes the best
on most days she leaves the rest
while we shop and drive and walk.
and let people stare and talk.
She relies on my support
and together we cavort
and she's very often said
that I'm beautiful and RED.

It's not hard to guess who I am

Great description...you are a wal...g c..e

Any guesses, Vicky?

michael b.

A walking cane. My yellow labrador, Buddy, plays that part for me. Do I redeem myself?

Vicky

yes, a cane is what it is. Next:
 

I'm purple and mean
I work on her spleen
without me she shakes
and her shakes are no fakes
I'm stronger than pink
and cream's just a wimp
I'm the champ
give her cramp
but I make her limp less
so who am I? Guess!


sorry about pink and wimp - couldn't be helped.

Could you be oxycodone 160mg?

michael b.

Close.......
 

But I'm not really being fair, I know, since only those familiar with that particular med. - for you're right that it's a pill - could possibly guess which one I mean. However, it's not an obscure one.

How about Synthroid 175 mcg?

michael b.

Is it time to tell?

I can admit defeat. Tell me what you are, please...

michael b.

And the answer is
 

Requip 3 mg. is purple
Requip 2 mg. is pink
Requip .50 mg. is cream colored

I know it wasn't a fair riddle, since only the few who take Requip would know.
I am very well acquainted with Requip after 5 years of juggling mg.s. The purple 3 mg. is my limit - it packs a punch.

What am I?
 

What's greater than God
More evil than the devil
The poor have it
The rich need it
And if you eat it you'll die?:eek:

This is tooooooooo funny
 

I have been on Requip since 1997. I have been on 5mg 3 times daily for nearly 3 years now (it is a blue pill...lol). I thought it affected the liver and didn't know it affected the spleen as well. Wow, do I feel stupid. :o

Actually, Requip was the medicine I thought of first because of tremor control. It was the purple one that threw me, because I went straight from the 2mg to the 5mg and skipped the 3 mg...go figure.

To MaryFrances
 

methylethyltrilithiumdioxyhydroxylphosphate?

Just kidding...I'll really have to think about this one.

michael b.

I cheated
 

What is greater than God? Nothing

What is more evil than the devil? Nothing

What do the poor have? Nothing

What do the rich need? Nothing.

What is it that if you eat it you will die? Nothing



Does this mean that nothing is actually something?

michael b.

awwww
 

Awww, rats, Michael!
That was too fast!

Mary Frances;)

Ooooh.....
 

I didn't mean literally that Requip affects the spleen, because I don't have any idea if it does, I meant spleen as bad mood.
I don't actually suffer from 'spleen' - but it rhymes so well with mean.
