Welcome to my world! This is my messy mind.
I have been a gypsy, a lover, a mother, a daughter… a granny, a friend, and a peace-keeper. Some call me their own personal Forrest Gump. I have traveled to many places; I have worked in many jobs… I have studied many subjects…
As a result, I know many things about many things, but not everything about anything.
I am so very glad you are here to experience this mess! Sit back, kick off your shoes and stay a while…don’t forget your coffee (or adult sparkling beverage if needed)…
As time goes on I find that I am getting much more leery of things around me. People scare me! And this isn’t doing much for my “hermitness”… I listen to talk radio (that must be the problem) and I learn things that I have forgotten about, or didn’t know..and I don’t really want to know!
And then…
In September 2010 I started having some problems with walking…. holy hell… why won’t my feet go forward? ha! Well let me tell you why… because you want to know, right? I knew you did!
I have
multiple sclerosis
… MS… I’m a cripple… damn it… so now I take a Copaxone shot every day – and it hurts like hell!- I sometimes use a cane… I sometimes walk like a drunk chicken on LSD… and sometimes you don’t notice anything when looking at me…. the cold air really makes me walk BAD! I love winter time….I hate being hot… but now winter has a new meaning for me…. My symptoms change depending on the temperature… hot and cold have their own set of symptoms…so it’s been quite an adventure!
Thank goodness for Coach. He is my support, my love, my helper, my companion….he has been hit hard with this too…yet he remains strong and is my defender and protector. I truly love you Coach – you have no idea how much….well maybe you do.
We spend a great deal of time making fun of me…. we laugh at me…we cry over me too…but mostly we laugh. I am entertaining…I am a site… each day is a new adventure that gives us something new to work through -and that’s true of everyone, cripple or not!
It is okay if you want to laugh at me, make fun of me, and tease me…. I would prefer that to the sympathy and pity… and I love to hear from you all! Leave me comments…send me emails (sherri@sherristakes.com) … …. I reply to almost every comment left for me….
most of all – love as if your heart has not been broken, dance as if no one is watching!

Hey Sherri!
It feels like I’ve been here before (“How could anyone forget?”, you say!–grin!). Glad you are here–and I’m going to peruse–no, that was not meant to be a ;bad; word–one of your blog addresses now.
Oh, before I go away, you wrote something about “conflict of interest”. I’m happy you don’t have that also–whatever it is. Guess it is like watching several TV shows at one time?
I try to stay out of conflicts anymore. First, I’m too old to fight! Second, if I do fight, I lose. LOSER! That’s what they should call me!
Well, be a good Peep (means People in my language…) and be nice to Coach. I don’t yet know who that is, have to guess it’s loving husband, who puts up with all your laughing, joking, funny-finding everywhere, and such other nonsense. I put my tiny little face in one of those tiny little boxes in your sidebar. Thanks for your visit to my place, or I would not have found YOUR place. OK?
PEACE!
As you can note…I am a man of few words! Sorry about that–grin!
Sherrie,
It’s nice to see you’re blog! You are a fun person, with a very enjoyable blog! You have visited me on MSrelief.com but when I put in that website above it posts my logo~ which is blue and I have got to take some time to make Orange~ After all, its all about MS!!!
I look forward to getting to know you more! After all, we’re online ALL THE TIME together!
Linda
Nice to “meet” you Sherri. I’m glad you guys laugh at your MS, I’m the same way, not the MS thing, but I prefer laughing and poking fun as opposed to sympathy. You seem to have such strong character, I am enjoying reading your posts.
i found that when i gave into the dread and gloom i felt so much worse about things… making fun of me and laughing with the stupid stuff this disease does, well it’s helped me be able to cope a bit better and maintain my sanity ha ! and naturally, that is my ultimate goal these days… keep as many marbles as i can and of course polish them up from time to time
Your football files have been extremely useful. For some reason they are all down now. Can you drop me an email when they become available again?
Thanks Jeff at jacapitalinvestments@yahoo.com
Hi Jeff,
I’m glad the files are useful! I wondered if anyone would want them….
They are restored after a bit of maintenance….
Thanks for stopping by!
Sherri,
Is this your new blog site? I was having trouble finding you. I’m glad I did. How you doing? How was the blog move?

hi mona!
this is it… the new site… i’m glad you found me! i’m doing alright… hot and icky but otherwise hanging in there!
the blog move… ugh! had it not been for jan over at kmilyun. com i would have been completely lost…. or it would have taken me a very long time to do this on my own lol i’m glad i made the move though… not a single problem like i was having over at blogger….
i think the one thing that has saddened me is losing followers
i’m hoping they will come back… i redirected my other page over here but i don’t know that it always works..and the feed from the old site doesn’t work so those relying on the feed won’t know about new posts… anyhow
how are things with you?
I just sent you an email.
