How did they learn of your diagnosis?

They were making the rounds in the neighborhood. Someone must have said something to them.

That's just wrong. I can understand neighborly concern, but maybe they used your ailment as a way to get those turds off their doorsteps. People showing up at my house with knowledge of my ailments would get me pissed in a hurry. Bad enough my wife goes on FB telling people about my colonoscopy.

When people want to pray for me, I tell them to save their prayers for someone more deserving.

You might tell them to put you on ignore...that would be far more productive.

If you're torturing someone in a soundproof room and you're wearing sound dampening airphones, do they still scream?

Does it matter?
But yes, it is quite symphonic.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, a chihuahua 500 miles away will still bark at it.

When someone offers to pray for me, I say, ‘Wonderful! You pray for me and I’ll think for the both of us.’
