If you send me a friend request and don't add a note telling me who the h*ll you are, you will be ignored.
If I look at your page trying to identify you [just in case you didn't send me the note referenced above] and you have over 1000 friends, you will be ignored [Really, how can one possibly keep up with that many people on Facebook].
If I know you and already know we have *nothing* in common, I will probably ignore you. If I don't want to offend you I will send you a note to very nicely explain why I'm not going to accept your request. If I don't even like you, you'll get nothing.
This is how I roll...
I'm a clinical trial alumnus who lives with multiple sclerosis, a husband, two dogs and two cats, while diving headlong into menopause. I've been accused of having a potty mouth and am OK with that.

Do you *really* want to get married?
This came in an email from my friend Mark. He got it from his niece. I have no idea what original sources this was cobbled from, but it really is laugh out loud funny.
Happy Monday!

AND NOW FOR THE FAVORITE!!!
Husband and wife are waiting at the bus stop with their nine children. A blind man joins them after a few minutes. When the bus arrives, they find it overloaded and only the wife and the nine kids are able to fit onto the bus.
So the husband and the blind man decide to walk. After a while, the husband gets irritated by the ticking of the stick of the blind man as he taps it on the sidewalk, and says to him, 'Why don't you put a piece of rubber at the end of your stick? That ticking sound is driving me crazy.'
The blind man replies, 'If you had put a rubber at the end of YOUR stick, we'd be riding the bus, so shut the hell up.'
Happy Monday!

Wait. What?
Holy shit, it's the middle of effing JULY already! I am so sorry to the three people who actually read this mess, as well as to the few special people whose blogs I actually read. I've been remiss in reading and commenting as well as doing any writing of my own.
I'm a little scared by the fact that my calendar is filling with lots of to-dos all the way into fracking Labor Day weekend, my God. I think I finally understand my father now when he tried to explain to me as a kid why time flies so, so fast when one is an adult.
Didn't see how that was possible then. Getting it now. Damn.

Whatever, Who Cares
June been bery bery busy to me. Can't even *tell* you how many times this month I've thought, "Oh, I gotta blog about that"! Then I don't get around to it and now I'm either sick of it myself or have forgotten why I thought it was worth a blog post to begin with.
The Atlanta Thrashers were sold to a mega-rich consortium of Canadians. Good for the team, bad for us fans because these rich a-holes want to actually have the team IN Canada, the bastards. It's all over the web, google it if you care, I finally stopped crying about it just a couple days ago.
Clarence Clemons, Bruce Springsteen's sax player and BFF for nearly 40 years passed away last weekend. It's all over the web, google it if you care, I'm still to weepy to even want to go there on my blog.
Novartis Pharmaceuticals flew me to Orlando for 2 days of training to become a speaker for Gilenya, their new-to-market MS pill. Made over 20 new friends that weekend and had a rollicking (read: exhausting) good time.
Hubby repainted our deck which means we're going to have to start hosting cookouts and shit. I love seeing our buds in a relaxed environment and all, but man there's a lot of prep (read: cleaning) to do around here first.
So this weekend I have one friend's surprise birthday party, visit to another friend in the hospital then visit a third friend who is currently undergoing radiation therapy for tongue cancer, which leaves him with enough energy to socialize for about two hours a week. Oh yeah, and attend a fundraiser for a local charity. Oh, and work for a few hours Saturday morning. Oh, and do some software upgrades to two electronic devices.
Ha! Let's see how I do...
