DSKI, I agree but in times like this when we are the one's actually experiencing this and our family and friends and co-workers are also trying to understand, a little stress relief for everyone dealing with their own AN's is acceptable. Yep, I say stoopid stuff all the time. I've learned to laugh at myself for it. Heck, I'm famous for it. But... it certainly doesn't make me less compassionate. This forum is for all of us (and yes, it's certainly not just AN patients but family members as well) to learn, grow, share and yes, even try a little humor as stress relief. I'm sorry if this humor is not humor to you... and it may not be to many others either. But, in light of what we all are experiencing, it's just our light-hearted way to enjoy what is going on in our own little part of the world. I'm sorry it offends you. My suggestion...don't read this thread and please read those threads that are of interest to you.
