There’s this lovely old couple I know, both in their mid-eighties, both have been as fit as fleas all their lives and raised 10 children. In the last year, she has contracted some form of inflammatory arthritis. Asked how she was today, he remarked that she wasn’t that good. “It’s that damn arthritis. She just can’t seem to shake it off.” :o:lol:

    She probably just needs to eat properly or go to I L L Fleeceum for some magic therapy

    Oh bless! What a shock, though, when you are that age (and yes, I am aware that it is a shock at any age). If she does shake it off let us know how, yes? I wonder if Messrs I L L Fleeceum will play a part in it, perhaps you should start spreading the word. :wink: DD

    Oh Sticky - this did make me chuckle :lol: although I do feel very sorry for the lady.

    Right, off to see if I can shake mine off now! Worth a try I reckon! :lol:

    What a brilliant reply to you asking her hubby how she was! :lol: I wonder what her reply would have been if you had asked her direct? :wink:

    Must remember that one!

    The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

    If you can lay down at night knowing in your heart that you made someone's day just a little bit better, you know you had a good day.
