Petey, this has really made my day!

Suggestion: the squares around the board can be different symptoms that we can have like IBS, restless leg, etc. and then if we land on this space we get to go to the nearest blank spot to rest, or have positive statements spots and get to move to the positive spot, or whatever.

I am new here but I love you guys already! This is just what I needed! HUGS!

Should be tossing and turning in bed but ...

instead I want to tell you what I thought about for game squares for the Fibro-nopoly game board during, excuse the expression, an IBS moment.

As I was sitting there I thought of the following (I mean, what else was I going to do with my time).

Move ahead to a resting square if ...

"your teenager bangs on the bathroom door during an IBS moment"

"dog nudges a tender point wanting petted and you hit the roof"

"toddler ask the same question for the 5th time during another "worst headache ever" moment"

"toddler asks to "ride the horsy" because you are having a restless leg moment"

"while laying in bed, you get a call from child school wanting you to chair a committee"

"your child has to finish your sentence because you forgot a simple everyday word"

Oh my gosh, I could go on and on but I don't want to look "too weird".

Well, good night all. I am off to toss and turn land!

I have had one of my worst 'bad days' and this disscussion totally distracted me for about 2.7 minutes, which was long enough to laugh, then cry, then laugh at petey. Thank you fibro family!!

I have a new idea for a space. Since we have spent so much time talking about hurt feelings. How about......

Someone hurt your feelings-move to any space on the board. Or maybe have a knock out punch space- so we can feel like we had some physical repercussion.

Oh, Oh, Oh, .... pick me, pick me! *raising hand and waving it franticly*

Sandi (and Petty), instead of an "easy button", we can have a "voodoo" or "punch button" that will automatically "knock out" the person who has hurt us.

I also thought of another space today (because, sadly, it happened to me).

We can have space for "putting something on the calendar so you won't forget it and then forgetting to check the calendar"

Ya, uh, I have done that MANY times!

Another good piece would be a wheel chair for all non believer to have to push you around to do shopping. Cause there's always a chance card. To make people see how difficult it really is.

How about this...

move ahead to a resting square where you will be lavished with a massage and hugs if...

you spent the last two days taking care of a sick child who wouldn't accept anyone else's help but yours.

OR

you get a back rub at the resting spot for all the times you rubbed someone else's back

OR

how about a pain free day...just because
