Green Room - Week 21 - Day 5

It's a big day today!

The poll closes at 8pm EDT. http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/778354.html

The new topic is due at 8pm EDT http://therealljidol.livejournal.com/779089.html

So we will literally be going into one poll as one ends!

That's wall to wall excitement!

Speaking of "wall to wall excitement", I had some of my own! Not going to get into it right now. Going to literally wait to speak to an attorney first. (Oddly enough, I had made a decision earlier in the day where I thought "this will bring me some good karma... and it wasn't even 2 hours later when I received the news of the "exciting new developments". Note to self: Never make the moral decision! The universe doesn't respect it! ;) )

But it's going to be "fun"... emphasis on the quotation marks.

What is the most "fun" you've had lately?

My dad died of MS just before he turned 45. It's a terrible disease. :(

It is, my Joe has been diagnosed with it since he was 45, he has relapsing/remitting with slow progression. I've watched this man go from climbing mountains(seriously) and backpacking all over the country to barely being able to walk 100ft. Without having to sit. Now it's starting to affect his cognition. :( It sucks, yeah, but we can laugh about it... most days. :)

Sorry to hear about your father at 45. My own father died at 48 from a heart attack. I always said it was better that is was sudden, rather than have to watch him dwindling everyday. Many hugs. :)

I think you could definitely make a case for either way. I'm so grateful I had the time to prepare (as much as a person can) for losing my dad; I'm glad I could say goodbye and make sure he knew how much I loved him. But it was definitely heart-rending and exhausting to watch him slowly slip away for most of my childhood.

My bio-mom has MS. Last I saw her (a decade or more ago) she was mostly getting around with a walker. She might be dead by now, I have no clue.
