Dan's Drop Shot
The rantings of a man exposed to too much sun....

  I'm looking for people to join my new club.  It's one of those specialty groups that get together once a month and give feedback to each other.  Tentatively, I'm calling it "IMNPAIN".  That's the acronym for Incapacitated Middle-aged Normal People Affected by Intense Neurosis.
    In order to join, you must have been to the doctor no less than three times in the past six months, and received one of the following diagnoses:  a) it's just a touch of flu, b) it's just allergies, or c) hey, none of us are getting any younger.  Anyone with a problem that the doctor can positively identify is not allowed.  This club is for all of us folks that know something's wrong, but no one can figure out what it is.
    I figure we'll meet once a month.  We'll rotate to different member's homes for the meetings.  However, within a few months, we'll probably be too large and have to rent out the Convention Center.  Each month we'll have a featured ailment for discussion and then break up to smaller groups for specific aches and pains.  I've already shceduled our first topic--"Why I can't get out of bed in the morning:  The reasoning behind complete muscular failure."
    Like all feedback groups, everyone is encouraged to participate.  No ache or pain is too small or trivial for discussion.  Addtionally, we want people to provide possible remedies they've tried.  They don't have to have any real validity, however they should have some historical authenticity, possibly something your great grandmother handed down over the years.  Home-make ointment and tonics are okay, but I think the group will draw the line at running around naked, beating pots and pans together, with a raw chicken on your hear.  Unless of course, that's the remedy for extreme depression.  That would bring anyone out of their shell.
   Sound like a group you'ld be interested in?  There's no fee, it's free to anyone meeting the membership criteria.  There's all kinds of incentives to join...the social aspect, the knowledge aspect, and best of all, the realization that you are actually in better shape than the rest of us.
