You have to have a sense of humor to deal with some of the things life throws
at you.  At least I do. :)

I think the meanest critter I saw though was a possum.. this one took up
residence in our barn in Louisville... he was nasty as all get out.. I called

Yes, that's when the coffee and B12 is used (grin).  There are some vitamins
that really do make a difference with MS, at least for me.
