Guest guest Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 You need to make up some good answers to amuse yourself.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I totally understand how annoying this can be. But, I try to smile and answer the question patiently. I remind myself that at least there are people concerned enough to ask. One situation that frustrates me is a guy at my health club who will ask "So, are you going to be done using a cane soon?" He's a friendly man and means well. But, I just want to yell: "Sure, if you or someone else comes up with a freakin' cure!"Dan U dao_nguu@...

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I hear you. Best one I've ever heard was the man thinking he was funny was " Is that vodka in that water bottle? " To Me it was very embarassing. At that time I was alot healthier and was employed and a " Personal trainer at the YMCA " Now looking back that one was funny:) Terri > > > I totally understand how annoying this can be.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2011 Report Share Posted August 12, 2011 I had someone say "Are you STILL using that cane?" I laughed and said "Yep, because I STILL have MS."hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Guest guest Posted August 13, 2011 Report Share Posted August 13, 2011 Teri,…..i had someone ask me why I was limping [back in the days when I could walk without help], and it embarrassed me to say I had MS, so I told them it was an old war injury. I’ve never been in the military, but for some reason it sounded better to say that instead of MS.
