Seems nothing has changed around Blogger since I last made use of it-- ROFL... Glad you could make sense of my post...And even more glad that you are my friend!!!

I think that you and I think the same way in some respects. I like to move on, learn from the past but move on. I could get into all of the nightmarish things that I lived through, but I'd much rather be happy. I wasn't trying to offend anyone. I was just using my imagination. Life is just to short to hang onto darkness and despair. You are a good friend Eileen. And I thank you for that.

I have that in my family too, and I realize that dealing with it is no laughing matter.<br />I think most readers here were laughing at Diana's wild imagination, and the fact that she created a persona for herself that was so out of character for her.<br /><br />But that's not to say that I don't laugh in the face of disease. My family members have many, many diseases (heart disease, cancer, Chrones (spelling?) Disease, emphysema, Alzheimer's, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's, other neurological problems, among other diseases), and while we don't find the diseases themselves funny, we all do often make light of our problems. The alcoholics too. I asked them if they were offended by something like this, and they said not at all. <br /><br />That's not to say that someone else shouldn't feel offended, everyone is entitled to their own idea of what is humorous and what is not. <br />I just don't think any offense was intended.<br />And I guess I do have a very warped sense of humor, but it has helped me and other family members get through the horrors of life that have come our way.<br /><br />Do I think it's funny that family members have skin cancer? No! Do I think it's funny that other family members offer to buy them gift certificates to tanning salons? Yes!<br />Do I think it's funny that my son is an alcoholic? No!<br />Do I think it's funny when he jokes that he is going to celebrate a milestone by swimming in a vat of beer? Yes!<br />Why do I think it's funny? Because I know laughing and joking about it helps them deal.<br />I also know a lot of people don't 'get' us, but we do. And I know the love and support behind all the jesting.<br /><br />I'm not trying to preach to anyone, I'm just offering another point of view. We all cope in our own way.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679894230965874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-54241863465499754702009-09-10T17:04:31.303-05:002009-09-10T17:04:31.303-05:00Sometime she who sits also serves.Sometime she who sits also serves.Dr.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02752941912945095736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-68944805005451082162009-09-10T16:25:13.911-05:002009-09-10T16:25:13.911-05:00Hi Ginnie,

I grew up around alcoholics.My grandfather was one, my father was one, and my first husband died from it at 36 years old leaving his 11 and 8 year old without a father.<br /> I do not think that alcoholism is a laughing matter! This was just my imagination going crazy Ginnie. Please read the following two posts and you should understand better!<br /> And again I apologize if I offended you.<br /> Love Di<br />P.S. I have attended many A.A. meetings myself to better understand my first husband and learn how to deal with his alcoholism. Shortly after that I left him.Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429812875586479256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188622209099174931.post-63965946813636247262009-09-10T16:14:02.958-05:002009-09-10T16:14:02.958-05:00I may sound like a nerd but I don't get this b...I may sound like a nerd but I don't get this blog entry at all. As a recovering alcoholic (20 years+ of sobriety) I hear REAL stories like this all the time and they are far from funny.
