....people tell me that you have lightened this CHMB with yer humor...
i tried that...it doesn't work...
if yer mom didn't have CH...it don't count here.
i (the clown) am currently being treated for depression...turned 50...lost house...tiny apartment in the slums...i have CH...so that counts.
my wife ain't officially divorced yet and is dating.... my son has CP...just got out of the hospital and eats with a tube in his belly...lost both of my folks in my teens...i have no friends here in town with CH....SO all them folks don't count.
Cause i have CH, or at least pretend I do, my grief or joy over anything allows me to post here....cause...hits better to light one candle than curse the delayed sorrow of darkness, which i as a jester, for years, covered up with laughter...and now surfaces as deap-pression
as everything crumbles about me. But i can't find my.... lighter. So it goes.
put this on yer dancecard...when you and i are..... dead as doornails,pushin up daisies,out of here,bit the big one,crossed over,bought the farm,checked out with no forwarding address,slipped the surlt bonds,untied our wings,won't bother anyone anymore,raised our head when we should have ducked,cold and don't know it,faught the good fight,lay very still for a very long time,wishin we could jump up and say "BOO" as folks file by and say "he looks just as i remember him...at least he's at peace now"....
Let's say you and our Moms polka together...
you don't polka?....there will be plenty of time to learn....trust me on this one little thing.
Good Grief
