Nothing important , just a short mild rant.

When I offer my son-in-law or daughter something , maybe a beer or a coke or their daughters something maybe a glass of lemonade or ice water they all respond the same . " I am OK "

My wife says that this means "No thank you" , but I detect a sort of disdain in their voice.

So I decided to not offer anything more to people that are "OK " they don't need anything, so I can now stop buying their favorite beers and things . I don't drink any kind of beer anyway and I was the one who had to make the lemonade so that is a task off my list .

“Sense a sort of distain…..”

I wonder if you are being over sensitive. I notice this with my husband that he now reads things into everything when people say stuff and assumes they mean the worse, and takes offence when none was intended. This is a new thing since having Parkinson’s as he never appeared to do it previously, or at least never said.

Anyway, give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they don’t mean anything more than no thanks , I don’t want a drink right now🙂.

Getting upset or grumpy about it will make you feel worse and they probably won’t even notice!

thats what my wife says also

but I know she is leader of the conspiracy

the plot is a foot

[JayPwP in reply to Gymsack]

You weren't like this when you were bag.... Has the sack made you negative...😜😜😜

[Gymsack in reply to JayPwP]

no I think it is the Parkinsons

As I told my doctor " Just because I am paranoid does not mean that they are not out to get me"

[qazwsx11 in reply to LAJ12345]

It’s a form of delusion. I started getting these thoughts too and the through therapy learned to deal with them. Be happy that the kids are visiting! And take their responses to what they are. Would you like a beer? No Ism ok. I don’t want to drink beer now.

That’s all!

[Youngoma in reply to LAJ12345]

my husband does the same thing. He doesn’t have PD

[Gallowglass]

God bless you. We all get it! (We persons with PD). Reach out to God for help and comfort - then forgive, buy some beer and make lemonade because kindness makes this world better and revenge makes it worse

[Burritosforlife]

I’m with you on that. Yes please and thank you, is my motto, the words of Ron Swanson I believe.

[Gymsack in reply to Burritosforlife]

Because I do not watch television much anymore I did not know who Ron Swanson is nor have I seen the show .

I found a web site with his 50 best quotes , I liked these:

46. “It’s always a good idea to demonstrate to your coworkers that you are capable of withstanding a tremendous amount of pain.”

47. “Fishing is for sport only. Fish meat is practically a vegetable.”

48. “One rage every three months is permitted. Try not to hurt anyone who doesn’t deserve it.”

49. “I’ll take that steak to go. Please and thank you.”

Now I am looking for recordings of the show
