Arthritis Walk

One of my life problems is that I have one of the over 100 forms of arthritis. As a result, I hurt most of the time. Usually, the pain isn't excrutiating. The meds I'm on have given me my life back. However, the pain is more of a background annoyance, usually, but with an emergence of some nasty stab here and there to remind me that I've got this nasty disease. I guess I picked a short straw. But, it's hard to complain, as my short straw isn't nearly as short as others' straws. In fact, I really do OK.

In that I really do OK, I am going to be using my body, so to speak, and this computer, and abject groveling to collect donations for the Arthritis Foundation. I will be walking for a cure. Ya see, there ain't no goddamm cures right now. Only medicated remissions, painkillers, and at times, sheer tenacity by those inflicted to get through every goddamm day. Therefore, please visit My Donation Site and make a donation. If all my readers made only $5.00 donations, then maybe I'll get to raise the bar high and maybe I can really contribute something really significant. Won't that be cool........

Of course, if ya wanna donate more, then who am I to protest?

THANK YOU!
