Guest guest Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Little Zachary was doing quite badly in math. His parents had tried everything, tutors, mentors, flash cards, Special Learning Centers. In short, everything they could think of to help his math.Finally, in a last ditch effort, they took Zachary down and enrolled him in the local Catholic school. After the first day, little Zachary came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn't even kiss his mother Hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Zachary was hard at work.His mother was amazed She called him down to dinner. To her shock, the minute he was done, he marched back to his room without a word, and in no time, he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day, while the mother tried to understand what made all the difference.Finally, little Zachary brought home his report card. He quietly laid it on the table, went up to his room and hit the books. With great trepidation, his Mom looked at it and to her great surprise Little Zachary got an 'A' in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity.She went to his room and said, 'Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?' Little Zachary looked at her and shook his head, no. 'Well, then,' she replied, 'Was it the books, the discipline, the structure, the uniforms?' Little Zachary looked at her and said, 'On the first day of school when I saw that guy nailed to the plus sign, I knew they weren't fooling around.'

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I thought I share this story with you guys (group), I don't post much but I'm always reading everyone stories/post and on the internet researching about this disease. So my husband asking me are you having an affair? I'm like what are you talking about, he tells me your always on your phone texting or whatever your doing... And we don't have you know as much as we used to. I started to laugh I told him yes I'm having an affair... with my achalasia group!!! LOL And as far as the other thing I told him I really have to make sure that I haven't drank or eaten anything for hours cause its not fun feeling like you want to throw up while doing it!!!! And then I told him besides who would want me with a 15 Inch scar on my stomach and not to mention I have 10 inch scar on my back from a previous surgery, who constantly is burping, throwing up, and feels like crap all the time!!!!!?

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 It is a lot on our spouses to see us go through what we go through. My boyfriend Bob is always bringing me food whether I can eat it or not. Last week he brought me beef jerky, which is a no no for me, and I thought " Maybe he's just trying to kill me "  LOL - you are lucky to have a good man by your side through the good times and the bad!  Kim A ________________________________ From: " brandygarcia33@...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 Kim: take the jerky, put it in a cup of boiling water, and let it sit. When cool, dump it in the blender, and see if you don't get a terrific pate for spreading on crackers. . . . (Nope, haven't tried it, but would if somebody gifted *me* with a pack of jerky, lol!) in WV > > It is a lot on our spouses to see us go through what we go through.
