Caption: We LOVE our Caregivers… With out them our beds would never be made.
Ode To The Caregiver
Ode to the Caregiver – Without you I would not know where my lost sock is.
Bipolar? Yes, you say… Then this Mental Health Humor cartoon just might ring a bell with you. As many of us know, “mania varies in intensity, from mild mania (known as hypomania) to full-blown mania with psychotic features including hallucinations and delusions.”
I received this e-mail the other day with some funny tips on Proper English and writing from a good friend! I’m sure it has been passed around a lot, since it was fowarded to me and another 50 email addresses… Yes, he is one of those friends that just forwards stuff he likes. Never saying hello or ever writing why he is sending it. Well, other than writing in the Subject line, “you gut to see this”… OR ” this is really funny.” When reading it, I got a bit of a chuckle because I’m sure my writing resembles a lot of it.
I thought I would do a little research on this list to see if I could find out where it originated. After a number of different searches, I found 3 sites. One attributed the list to William Safire’s Fumble rules. “William Safire compiled these quotes in his October 7 and November 4, 1979 “On Language” columns in The New York Times.”
Are you gullible? I tend to see right through jokes and it’s hard to pull a prank on me since I’m so cynical. To the people that do catch me …it ticks me off!!
Well, here goes. Mind you, the video below is a well executed prank declaring via the “Newsroom White House” that President Obama Is Bipolar, Has Entered Depressive Phase. The video, released on August 17, 2009 from the FAKE Politics News Room, reported that Barack Obama was Bipolar.
I’m not sure of the comedy vs. the stigma, however, I did laugh a bit… But at first, I thought it was real!! It wasn’t till 27 seconds into the video I heard the word “onion news” that I knew this was a joke!! The clip talked about Obama’s health care and that he is now depressed. It has governmental-looking people giving you blow by blow socialism reports.
Yes, I like satire and fake news, but why does it have to be about mental illness…? Well, you watch it and be the judge.
Do YOU need a Quick Cure for Mental Health Blues? I say Gopher It! I found this old photo of me then other dayand thought I would share it with everyone. The Gopher Turtle of the “Tortoises (family Testudinidae) live on land. They are medium to large with a large, heavy shell and stumpy feet. Gopher Tortoises are the only tortoises native to the United States and the only tortoise found in Florida.”
They are “protected” and so seeing them nowadays around here is quite a sight…
So many of God’s little creatures don’t stand much of a chance against a car or truck, but this guy got a few extra days! I was told by a Fish and Game Officer that if I see one in danger of getting hit then and only then can someone intercede and help out.
The officer told me to move the Gopher Turtle out of danger in the direction he was going… Or they will just try and cross again after I leave…
This is a pic of me helping the little guy across a very busy road… The Officer never said I couldn’t take a picture!
You know, I do remember this day with smile. See if you can follow my logic here… whether we have a mental illness or not, we all have the power to help something or someone! In this case, it was helping a Gopher Turtle from being road kill. When I did this, it brought me so much joy. If today we can just do one thing for someone else, I guarantee, you will really be helping yourself, too… YES! Even when it is as simple as helping a turtle cross the street!
These are my Words Of The Wisdomless for today:
“In a race, even the slow runners can help speed up the slowest runner!”

Go now and help someone do something then come back here and tell …
