Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 When my mother was young, she was the trouble maker of 9 kids with one younger brother generally doing what she said. Once they were in the small town funeral home with aunt Alice, the two year older very good sister. The caskets were stored upstairs in something like the upper area of a barn would be with wooden steps up. My mother crawled in one, closed it and then went and got Alice. He took her up and said look how nice the inside of this one is. My mother popped up. Alice hit very few steps if any on the way down and out of there. > > Sorry I have not been around much, just kind of pop in and out- > > Nice to know I was noticed lol-I can be reached on yahoo msgr or email > > As for me, good eyes to spot the parish on the door of my unit. > > I was DX with IPF in 1995 had all the test, scans, biopsy.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Tony, I agree with you totally...it's just difficult to stay on this positive course all the time. But, I'm doing what I can...and I vent here when negative stuff gets me down. It's a haven! -- Z.fibriotic NSIP/05/ "mild" PH 10/07 PA Reynaud's too!!!

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 It's not only difficult to stay positive all the time, its really not smart and a lie. There are none of us who should try to do so or feel bad when we need to vent and complain. What's important is not that we get down. It's to recover and get back up as quickly as possible.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 -Your right it is hard to stay positive, it would be a lot easier to lay in bed and let people take care of me, and there is noting wrong with venting-hell I do it too- I go to the range and shoot at targets or what ever it takes-But i really fail to see how being up beat and not filled with self pity is a lie and not smart, maybe you can explain it too me, But I tell you this DEATH will have to take me in a fight I WILL NOT surrender or go meekly-tony -- In Breathe-Support , " Bruce Moreland " wrote: > > It's not only difficult to stay positive all the time, its really not > smart and a lie.

Guest guest Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Oh dear, I just can't resist this timely joke: briefly. A husband loves Limburger Cheese. Eats it every day, much to the dislike of his wife. The smell is on his clothes and lingers in the house. Husband gets ill and is dying and when wife asks if there is something special she can do for him, he pleads with her to put Limburger in his casket. He wants what he loves the best to be with him for comfort. She agrees, much to her dislike. During the funeral , people were looking around trying to identify a strange smell. When the pallbearers were removing the casket the guy on one end dropped the casket on the floor. He was asked, "What's the matter with you, have you no respect for the dead?" He replied, "Listen, if this guy can fart he can walk!" The devil made me do it. Sher; ipf 3-06; OR.Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there!
