I wonder if I have that?

So, we were exploring the moon after blasting off from Earth (Grace and I playing an imagination game). I was the pilot and we were collecting things (mostly rocks) from the lunar surface to take back to Earth to study. It was then that I saw a Giant Monkey right there in our path. Actually it was a stuffed monkey hanging on the wall in her living room. Wanting to end the game, I told Grace that I was afraid of the Giant Monkey and that I wanted to go back to Earth. She said, "Don't be afraid. God will always protect you."

Have you ever noticed how many people have been diagnosed with Bipolar? How about ADT, ADHT, ED, Depression, or the like?

Seems everyone fits into one of these, or other "Designer" diseases now days. And there are many more, and more added to the list every day. And for every one of these diseases, there always seems to be a medication to treat the disease. And those medications are really expensive. Every time I turn around, I hear of a new designer disease advertisement on television promoting a new medication. How odd that is. As soon as a new designer disease is discovered, so then is a medication.

Sometimes, I wonder whether the scientists and chemists create the medications first, and then find or create a disease that the medications will treat. Ever notice that cheap medications, like aspirin, no longer have a disease that they treat, yet some of the designer diseases are treated with medications containing aspirin, but costs thousands of times more?

I hope I'm wrong, because that would make treating diseases all about money.

  2. I found it amusing that you lumped Erectile Dysfunction in with all the other "mental" maladies like depression and ADD and ADHD... :)

  3. Sis.. I still don't wear eye glasses.
    4d.. Most of ED is mental, so Viagra, Cialis, and the others could actually be placebos, which are even cheaper to produce.

  4. First a soldiers comment, then exploring the moon, and then a segment about drugs... It's no illusion.

  5. my question is: do men call their "things" Ed.? Just where did E.D. come from? "hi, my name is Joe and i have Ed." that statement is far more dysfunctional than any projectile can be.
