Dear Karma,

My husband I are laughing sooooooooooo hard! We have 2 dogs...and

that kind of comment to the secretary sounds like something we'd say

too! (hoping they would take it as a joke).

The informercial remark was soooooo funny, too! Jerry said it is the

dumbest one because we had been looking at the principal of it but

the presentation is...well really a turn-off. There is a REASON those

play late at night. I found the LL looking for more info on the

prinicipal BEHIND BF...and the rest, as they say, is history.

I have a patient with Parkinson's who has a vertebral compression

fracture. He can't take pain medication (long story) basically

because of the Parkinson's meds. So I put pressure on the knot on his

back next to that vertebra..taught him a LL breath (kind of Lamaze

style) repeated 3 times. The next visit his wife said she wanted me

to teach HER how to do it on him because he said 3 breaths are better

than 30 minutes on a TENS unit (electrical stimulation). My only

problem is how to call it Speech Therapy!! haha...oh, we did that,

too!

Love and Pahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

BodyFlex several years ago. She saw the infomercial and ordered the

program. She then watched it, thought it was the stupidest thing she

had ever seen and was planning on sending it back. My husband

thought it looked like something that I would be interested in

because I have to be careful of what I do because of old sports

injuries. My knees swell really bad if I run or do high impact

things. I have since added Oxycise, and now LifeLift. I am so glad

to have found LifeLift too! I was in the office the other day and

his secretary asked me what I was doing to shed so much weight! She

was serious so I told her about LifeLift. She thought I was holding

out on her. LOL! So, I told her that I had also quit dieting and

was following the principles laid out in these two books, " Breaking

out of food jail " , and " How to Become Naturally Thin by Eating

More " . I told her it was really just common sense, but I had been so

messed up in my idea of food that I had lost track of my common sense

when it came to food and these books helped to line me out in that

area. She wasn't willing to do the breathing, but wanted to borrow

my books. I told her I would only loan her one of them. She chose

the " How to Become Naturally Thin by Eating More " book. Well, for

some reason, I was in a quirky mood and was a little too dramatic! I

jokingly (I thought) told her that I wanted it back and if she didn't

return it, I would have to track her down like a dog after a bone!

She laughed and I left. That was on a Friday. Well, come Monday

morning, my husband calls me and says he doesn't know what I told his

secretary, but she is in a panic, I apparently scared her to death

and she was completely beside herself. Apparently what had happened

was for some reason her dog over the weekend thought the book looked

like a wonderful snack and actually ate half the book!!!! LOL! She

was just too scared to tell me!!! I almost died of laughter at the

situation! How ironic, I had told her that I would track her down

like a dog after a bone, and her dog used the book as a bone!!! I

quickly assessed that she didn't feel it was funny at all, so, I told

her not to worry about it, I had secretly covered the book in gravy

and her dog just couldn't help it! She laughed and that broke the

tension.

Oh, Libby,

I really felt so bad after the fact! Then when she couldn't even do her job, sitting at her desk almost ready to cry, so my husband had to call and find out what his wife had done to his secretary to scare her to death! LOL! It really is amusing now, but at the time, NOT!!!

She had gone all over the building and the courthouse which is next door telling everyone what had happened, she was so beside herself because she didn't know how to replace the book!

You have to keep in mind that I also think of myself as normal size. I actually kind of think of myself as short because I am shortest in my family. Both my sisters are 6'3", my brother is 6' 11, by mom is even taller at 6'0"! Both my sisters husbands are tall, 6'5" and 6'7" So, in my family, I am short at only 5'11" LOL! I usually wear heals which puts me at about 6'1" My husbands secretary is probably 5 feet even.

Size usually isn't an issue for me because like I said, I think of myself as normal to short! Apparently I had scared her even more than I realized because she was telling me later she was sitting down at her desk when I told her this. She said she was sitting there looking up at me remembering she had seen me throwing big bails of hay as if they were nothing and thinking, "OH, MY GOSH! WHAT HAVE I DONE!" I have made Karma, the Amazonian woman mad a me!!!!

That is so great that you are able to use the LifeLift breath to help your patients.

Again, LOL!

,

The other day when my friend was in need of comfort because she had mis-carried. She was shaking and crying so hard that I just grabbed her and held her. We were both standing and I didn't think anything of it. She needed help calming down and that was an easy fix. Later, when I was calling to check on her, she was deciding whether to go to work on not. She wasn't sure how to face her fellow co-workers. I told her that someone had come up to me at church and asked about her, they had told me who they were and that they worked with her. I was describing the man to her and I began with, well he is shorter than me, and.... she started laughing and interrupted me with, my God, Karma! That doesn't narrow it down much, not to many people aren't shorter than you. She told me that she had never realized how tall I was until I had hugged her the other day. She said she was shocked to realize that I was taller than her husband! I had to laugh! Again, I had to laugh. I just don't think of myself as tall!

Another funny story about Pigmies happened when I was a little girl. My sister and I were in the back seat of the car on a car trip. I was probably 8 and my sister 5. My mother was scolding my sister over something and my sister got mad and called my mother a pig! She realized what she had done and tried to fix it. She told my mother that she didn't say pig, she said pigmy. My mother started laughing which confused my sister. Remember my mother is 6'0" and does consider herself to be a tall woman. My sister being confused told her that she wasn't calling her anything, that she was calling herself a pig, you know, pig - me. I'm a pig! Oh, brother that really sent my mom over the edge. Probably not the appropriate response, yet it made the whole situation memorable to me!

~Karma

If you're normal to short, Karma, I'm a pigmie!!!!!! I tower at 5' 2"!!! but I am the runt of the family. My sister is 5' 8" (tallllllllllllll) LOL and my brothers are both 6 ft. Hmmm wonder what happened to me?

Well, I promise if I'm lucky enough to meet you one day Karma, I'll wear my stilts!!LOL

P.S. I'm really going to miss you!
