Today, I want you to help me celebrate the homegoing of some very special friends. These have been some of my best friends for many years now. I always had them to rely on whenever times were bad, or things got too rough for me. These guys have been my crutch when I could not walk, my voice when I could not talk, my air when I coud not breathe, and my light when I could not see. I have depended on them to get me out of many tight situations in the past, and they have alway been right by my side ready to defend me even if it meant their death. I would even dare say, many of you know these same people by name. So please join me and raise you glasses up and celebrate the passing of these dear, dear comrades. Sound of Taps in background...
Today, we remember...
1. I don't feel like it.
2. I can't do it today
3. I am hurting all over
4. I had a rough childhood
5. Twin brothers: It's too cold outside and It's too hot outside
6. I don't have any money to join a gym
7. Fat is in my genes
8. I work too many hours to work out
9. I don't want to waste food
10. I have a Thyroid problem

Feel free to bury the friends who have been holding you back in the past. The casket is made of stretchy material...

    Who gives a rat's ar*e what he thinks? It's ME who cares how I look - I was just too lazy to admit it!!

    In addition to some of the ones listed above, two of mine used to be:

    Twins: I have overactive sweat glands. / I sweat too much.
    My Crohn's is acting up.



    Now, I don't give a crap if I sweat too much. If I'm not sweating, I'm not working hard enough!!!!
    With my Crohn's Disease, I started changing how I ate back in February 2011. I had a few issues at the beginning because of the change in diet, but I haven't had a flare up in 5 months!!! Yup.


    So goodbye dear old friends. It was nice knowing you, but I'm ready to move on. :drinker:
