Whisper Soft

Whisper Soft

We do exercises to strengthen our entire body.  From legs and arms, to bi’s and tri’s, to traps and lats.  Our gluts to our abs. Through the years of this nonsensical blog, I have offered up pointers to develop many of the near 700 muscles in yer bod.  Heck, I even showed you how to …

Be a Dog (Or a Cat)

Be a Dog (Or a Cat)

  Good morning, sunshine. You have just woken.  Your sleepy eyes still meer slits as daylight peeks through the bedroom windows. Now before you throw over the blankets and put your feet on the floor–do yourself a favor. Take five minutes, while still in bed…..and be a dog (or a cat)!     Dogs (and …

The Cost of It All

The Cost of It All

  I admit to being a tight-wad. A miser.  Always looking for the value. Mind you, I’m generous with others.  Quick to chip in.  But when it comes to buying something for myself?  I don’t. Impulse buying is nil.  A dressy shirt?…Eh, I have plenty.  Cool shoes?…the ones I’m wearing are just fine.  And at …

Fitness Bluff

Fitness Bluff

  You might know someone who is a fitness buff.  (You may even be one yourself!) But this is more of a fitness “bluff.” Let me explain. This typically inactive person I know began taking walks (kuddos!) on an infrequent basis.  Not every day but at least making an effort. It was a sputtering, hit-or-miss …

Club Rulz

Club Rulz

How does this keep happening? It’s the same mistake year after year. I have cancelled my membership countless times to no avail. Despite all my efforts I still received THIS in the mail…   Looks as though I’ll have multiple sclerosis yet another year.   At least through 2023 according to the card.     But …

Burned Out

Burned Out

  I feel burned out. Burned out in terms of multiple sclerosis, that is. And I don’t mean being dog-tired of the bummer symptoms.  We’re all in that way! I’m referring to the notion that maybe my MS has run its nasty course. The deed is done.  The worst is over so to speak. The …

Tired Wired

Tired Wired

  When you have had multiple sclerosis a while the usual MS talking points get somewhat boring. Humdrum.  Same-ol, same-ol. They need jazzed-up a bit to keep my (and maybe your) interest. Welcome to “Tired Wired,” where we take an old “tired” MS topic and give it a new “wired” spin. Here we go…   …

Is This It?

Is This It?

  Is this it? What’s left? Anything else? Is that all? What now? These are just some of the questions you may find yourself asking when (or if) multiple sclerosis takes you away from something you love.   Your job.  Your favorite activity.  Hobby.  Passion.  Whatever. It happens.  And it sucks. You feel defeated. Like …

Load of Crap

Load of Crap

  It’s irritating.  Overused.  And has no relevant meaning. I cringe when reading it.  Shudder, when I hear it. Is it meant to brag?  A proud boast, maybe? Whatever its purpose, I think it’s a load of crap. What am I talking about? I’m referring to the nonsensical mantra used by some fellow MSers… Really? …

Bladder Blather

Bladder Blather

  With multiple sclerosis, problems with pee-pee and poo-poo are quite common.  Namely when an MSer has to go–we HAVE TO GO.  Get out of our way ‘cuz it’s game time! I’m undoing my pants way before I cross the bathroom threshold.  Even then it can be a close call. Nighttime is the worst. I’ll …
