Hello Everyone

[Guest guest]

How nice to see all the posts....and surprised to see you here Delaine

and are there any others from the other list?? Good to see you here

Delaine.

I was glad to see the post about the preventil and albutrol..I use them.

I am also taking volmax for SOB..Vioxx for OA..and valium for the muscle

spasims I get. Do any of you ever have the muscle or cord in the front

of your neck like spaz out and tighten up,it feels like a charlie horse.

I just hate that feeling. I have COPD from smoking for 40 years. It

started I guess about 2 years ago and I would not accept it at all, not

until this past Christmas--from really Nov. to March of this year it got

real bad. I got double pneumonia and it really did me in.

I sat here this morning about 2am and wrote a post to send..then I

pushed send ?????? and was surprised because it just disapeared??? So if

you get two posts today...I won't be surprised. I thank you for the

welcome,and Shirley for telling me about this list. I will try to post

but may not be able to as often as I would like.

a-Anne---Kitt-Delaine-Tery-Shirley-Bonnie-Pat-

June-Elaine--take good care and it is good to meet you all. I'm outta

here for now,

PUZZLED PARROT

A magician worked on a cruise ship in the Caribbean. The audience was

different each week, so the magician allowed himself to do the same

tricks

over and over again. There was only one problem: the captain's parrot

saw the

shows each week and began to understand how the magician did every

trick.

Once he understood, he started shouting in middle of the show: " Look,

it's

not the same hat! " " Look, he's hiding the flowers under the table. "

" Hey, why

are all the cards the Ace of Spades? " The magician was furious but

couldn't

do anything. It was, after all, the captain's parrot.

One day the ship had an accident and sank. The magician found himself on

a

piece of wood in the middle of the sea with, as fate would have it, the

parrot. They stared at each other with hatred but did not utter a word.

This

went on for a day and then another. On the third day, the parrot could

not

hold back: " OK, I give up. Where's the boat?
