Optimist

An optimist is someone who is about to be executed and their last thought is: "At least I have my health."

Something's wrong when Republicans try to prevent women's health care, yet allow doctors to write Viagra prescriptions for sheep herders.

Some people want to live life to the fullest. I just want to get through the day without acid reflux.

    1. I'd like to avoid having to make that philosophical decision about myself for a long time.

  2. I plan my day around acid reflux. No eating after 6pm, no Mexican food after noon, plenty of Tums after a red wine bender.......

    1. There's some stuff. Let me get the name of it. I got it. Zinc Carnosine that you take 2 with meals and Deglycyrrhized Licorice that you take one at night and one in the morning. Also DGL tablets that you can chew with meals. That stuff seems to help me. It doesn't cure it and everyone once in awhile I have to take a Prylosec or something. I have what the call Barret's esophagus, so I have to pay attention to what I eat. Any I figured I'd stick my two cents in if it helps.

  3. A laughter morning, John. That first one spun me around and made me think. I'm such a health nut and why????? Do I just want to die healthy? I used to say, when I got real old, I'd start smoking and drinking but it just wasn't my style.

    1. It's better to stay healthy and in a way you want to die as healthy as you can, if that makes sense. Those last years so be as pain free as possible.

  4. I guess if you have your health at least you won't die a slow painful death and instead just go and get it over with. Poor sheep too.

  5. Had to laugh at Manzi's comment because I always said when I get older and if I am in pain... I will grow pot .... lol. I have never even tried it so I know I won't grow it.

    1. Pot has helped several of my friends who were in pain and couldn't eat. That's my biggest problem with pot and one of the reasons I don't smoke it very often -- I can't stop eating. Rodney Dangerfield had the best pot line. "I tried pot once. I smoked half a joint and I got so hungry I ate the other half."

  6. To die healthy isn't such a bad way to go.

    1. It's the best way to go. To have all your faculties and to be as pain free as possible, until you body just gives out. That's the way to go. Oh, and be as old as possible.
