Reminds me of a fav. Pooh quote:

Pooh to piglet: what day is it?

Piglet: it's today.

Pooh: oh, my favorite day! 😊

Yes, I am! Pretty embarrassing since I'm 53, but I have always loved Pooh! Have them all over my house!

My sister is a real original Pooh fanatic, not the one with clothes on. You are never too old for Pooh, my sister is 56. Blessings Jimeka

Good evening Poohgirl, it's Fancy1959 sending you a warm welcome to this amazing chat room. There are so many thoughtful, kind, caring, and friendly people here that you will soon count many of us as your extended family. To adopt one of my all-time favorite movie quotes to a MS I will have to tell you that quote, "MS is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you'll get next". Haha, but so true. Just remember we're always here, just a post away. We share each other's triumphs and we share each other's sorrows. We laugh together at some of the stupidest things you've ever seen and then we cry together when times get tough. I want you to remember that together we are stronger. I look forward to you becoming an active part of our chat room and getting to know you better. Take care and post soon!

Poohgirl Welcome to this great group of people. We do a good job of listening and offer up any helpful advise we can, no judgement is passed here. My name is Judi and I'm 52. i live in Sycamore, Illinois. I'm married with a 20 year old son and a 16 year old daughter. Life keeps me busy with them and when there's time, then I make room for MS. Look forward to hearing more from and about you.😊
