MDJunction to me

Hazeldee"MDJunction means that I no longer have to feel like I am the only person in
the world with pericarditis. It means that I can talk to others who know
how stressful and how painful having pericarditis can be. It means that I
connect with others to discuss treatments that have or haven't worked for us, so that we have a leg to stand on. I think that having my friends at
MDJunction has allowed me to better mentally and emotionally process my
diagnosis and what it means to me. I feel so lucky to have this community
available to me. I use MDJunction as a way to use my experience to help
others. Reaching out to help others is the only solace I have found since
being diagnosed with pericarditis.

THIS IS TOTALLY IN FUN AND NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

Here is a partial list of things you can do to confirm family, friends and neighbor's suspicions you 'March to a different drummer'.

* Wear a tinfoil cap to do yard work. Easy to make, fun, and you can throw it in the freezer before wearing on hot days. Make it a whole tin foil hat or just cover a hat with tin foil. ETRA POINTS if you put a parts store 'stick on' cell phone antenna or other decorations on it.

* If you own an older drab car those little touch-up cans of paint at the parts store will paint one panel. IE; fender, door, deck lid. Use different colors on every panel. EXTRA POINTS for painting different colored stripes on neighboring panels using four different colors going in different dirrections, patterns on roof and hood or pokadots.

* Get all the free bumper stickers you can and put them all on upside-down.EXTRA POINTS for fridge magnets with inane sayings and pictures. Keep it G-Rated!

* Wear faux fur clothing dyed in totally un-natural colors like pink and green zebra stripes. EXTRA POINTS for wearing the tin foil cap/hat also.

* Answer 'unlisted' and 'blocked' numbers on the phone "Telemarket Scam Hotline", "Mental Ward. Patient 2468 speaking" and other nonsense that comes to mind. EXTRA POINTS if you get a telemarketer and just say 'yes' to everything and when they go to close say "no se habla Engleesh".

* Walk down the edge of the sidewalk, stop and turn sideways. Then look carefully all around. Go across the sideawalk and start in the original dirrection on THAT side. Do this every 9 or 11 steps. EXTRA POINTS for an ocassional twirl or sideways shuffle.

* Use lines from famous loonies in movies and TV shows. "Heeeeere's Johnny!" "Why so serious?" and "Norman! Norman!" are good ones. EXTRA POINTS if you practice the voice to 'get it right' or wear the clothes of the character.

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONCIBLE FOR SORE RIBS, BROKEN KEYBOARDS FROM TEARS OR HAND OR HEAD-HAMMERING ON DESK, OR FALLS FROM CHAIRS.

This is strictly for entertainment and should not be take TOO seriously. Tongue

I actually did this when I was manic once...and I'm well known to talk to myself when I'm going through the grocery store!!

I will actually stand there looking at boxes and putting them back upside-down for 15 minutes. Pick up canned cat and dog food and put it in the open-faced meat display. I went around a grocery store with a tricycle/kid's bike squeeze bulb horn in the basket. People blocking the isle were startled, to say the least! Why did those horns disappear off the racks? W00t

The ultimate tin-foil hat? Aluminum foil glued shiny side up on the roof of a mini-van to keep the temps down. E.T. proof too? Who knows?

Sir...I see that millions of small, unruly children everywhere have you to blame for not being able to get a hold of those horns anymore! We now have the truth!
