Don't worry about whining now and then. We just need to do that, that's all. It free's up our minds. As for this disease, well it seems to go that way. Fine one day and then Poof (or should I say Poop) its back in full force. Just last month on our Thanksgiving I had a rough go. I wasn't at home either, at my brother's. He was so happy that I came over and both Mel and her girlfriend too. We always have allot of laughs, and Bruce needed something to lift his spirits, as he has been having a rough go of it. He has chronic pain issues and has been off work for over a year now, he also has a severe sleep disorder. Anyway, it was all going good, but just before dinner, I had some grummbling in my tummy, and the runs started. Didn't say anything, just continued on, we were all cooking, so I just kept leaving. Then we decided to watch a comedy. BAD idea. One big belly laugh and I pooped myself. Not just a little bit either. I was in the bathroom for almost 45 minutes cleaning up, and crying, even though I had a pad on, it even went through my pants. Needless to say, I wanted to go home then, but I felt so bad for Bruce. He understood, but still. But you know if a healthy person had that happen they would be more then mortified, its just an awful tihng for anyone to deal with, let alone on a regular basis. And after this happening so often, I now have no control over it, coughing or laughing, now how could any of this be a good thing!!! Its very hard to be positive after a while, but we still try. And the whining once in a while gets it off our chests so that we can go back and fight the battle.
And by the way, that is very funny about the phone call, and a good save too.
One time when I was working at a Credit Union, just a small one, just me and the boss, and that was it. Well for some reason can't remember we were talking about praying and religions and the phone rang, right in the middle of saying something I had to pick it up, Now instead of saying the Credit Unions name and how can I help you, I said "AMEN"! And as soon as it was out of my mouth, and I could see my boss and the other woman start to laugh, well I barely contained myself. The person on the other end was silent for the longest time, and I just went of like I didn't say it at all, hoping against all odds that they would not say anything and perhaps think that they had heard wrong. They didn't, and I didn't, we pretended like it never happened. But when I got off the phone I almost dropped to the floor laughing. I couldn't believe it.
Then there was this time when our Credit Union merged with a larger one, and I was having to get use to picking up the phone there, remember the rings, and so forth. Well coming from a small two man show to a larger place was a big enough change, but the girls there were all waiting for me to make mistakes. And they would let the phone ring so that I would pick it up. The thing was that where I had worked before was above a fire hall, and there were three other offices, so you learned how to block out sounds, like the fire alarms and so forth, and you were always hearing other phones ring. So it was hard to get use to the fact that it wasn't my phone, but if it didn't stop after the 3 ring that meant that someone else had to pick up because the receptionist was on another line. And the supervisor was a real witch, and talked to me about it, so I was determined to make sure I didn't miss it. Well I was doing something at my desk but turned to another area doing paperwork when the phone rang for the third time. I twirled around in my chair and reached for the phone, and at the same time the chair flipped out from under me, landing my flat on my butt with the phone in my hand and a client waiting to hear someone say something to them. The whole office went silent, everyone was watching me, my co workers, and also the clients and tellers. I was about to burst out laughing but I held it in long enough to announce the Credit Unions name and ask what I could do for them, and thank goodness it was something I could put them on hold for, because I then busrt out laughing and picked myself up off the floor. And yes I was in a skirt.
At least they couldnt' say I wasn't trying after that.
Another time when I was working for some weird reason I got a call from someone staying at a local Hotel. He had been calling the front desk of the hotel and for some odd reason the call was sent to me instead of the hotels front desk. This man would not believe that he had got an outside office that had nothing to do with the hotel, and he wanted something to be sent up to his room or some such thing. So since he wouldn't listen to me I told him that it would be taken care of right away. Then hung up. I wondered how long he waited before he tried the front desk again, and how that turned out. Since no one would know what the heck he was talking about. I also knew that the chances of him getting me the second time were just about nil. It was in the middle of a work day, and the man didn't sound like he had been drinking, but who knows.
Anyway, that is my funny ha ha phone calls that I have had, so not to feel bad.

on the head and says *knock it off* and then I think of a friend of mine whose hubby always says--Carpa-Deum--(probably wrong spelling) 
** Seize the day**
Then I think it could have been so much worse and it IS getting better. Then I think I just think too much sometimes
