laugh On the first day of Spring Training, a baseball
scout brings a race horse with him to add to the starting
lineup. The coach asks, "What the heck did you bring
that horse here for?"
The scout replies, "Wait until you
see him bat."
All the players are laughing, until the
horse comes to bat. At this point, the horse grabs the
bat and everyone quiets down. They stare at the horse.
The pitcher, just shrugs his shoulders,
and throws the ball toward home plate, when
astonishingly, the horse hits the ball deep into the
outfield.
The horse just stands there and does
not move. The manager then yells at the baseball scout to
tell the horse to run to first base.
The scout looks back at the manager and
yells back, "If he could run, he’d be at
Belmont!"

Just Jake
Talkin'
Mornin',
I’ve never figured out
folks who complain about a tv show, and then
commence to tell you all the details of why.
It usually becomes apparent that they
regularly tune in to the program.
There are plenty of tv
shows that I don’t like, I don’t
watch ‘em.
Back when there were only
three networks and we could only get decent
reception on two of ‘em, I wasn’t
near so picky. ‘Course I was just a kid
too. Didn’t know no better. (or Mom was
in control of the room.)
Fact is, now I can find an
endless number of tv shows I don’t wanna
watch. The fact that I can determine in three
seconds whether or not I’m interested
sometimes annoyin’ to others in the room
who don’t have a remote however.
This is some fact, but
mostly,
Just Jake Talkin’.

Bipolar
Disorder Is Emotional Seesaw
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: How serious
is bipolar disorder? Can you control it yourself?
Is the brain lacking some element? -- L.R.
ANSWER: Bipolar is a disorder
in which people experience spells of deep
depression alternating with spells of great
energy and unbridled enthusiasm. It’s an
emotional teeter-totter. In the high-energy
phase, people feel invincible, are constantly on
the go, can do with little sleep, have grandiose
and unreasonable plans and are overly sociable.
They become impulsive and make hasty and poor
decisions. Sometimes they hallucinate, seeing
things not present and hearing things not spoken.
In the depressed phase, the opposite holds.
People become reclusive, feel that all is
hopeless, don’t want to get out of bed and
are reluctant to interact with others. Those
extremes are the two poles of bipolar disorder.
Yes, it is a serious illness.
It can disrupt a person’s life.
Brain chemistry is involved,
but the exact mechanisms are not completely
understood. Genes have a major role too. Bipolar
disorder runs in families.
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Please
explain the proper care of a person who contracts
shingles. Is it contagious? My doctor didn’t
want me in his office. Other doctors say
it’s not contagious.
I received the drug Famvir at
the start. Now I take Lyrica and Percocet. I am
miserable. How long is recovery? I have a mild
case. I pity anyone with a difficult case. --
E.B.
ANSWER: When the shingles rash
is brand-new and consists of many small,
fluid-filled blisters, virus is present in those
blisters. You do realize that shingles is the
reawakened chickenpox virus that lives in the
body from the time of infection to the time of
death.
You don’t have shingles
now. You have the dreadful shingles complication
-- postherpetic neuralgia. It’s pain coming
from the nerve that the shingles virus traveled
down on its journey to the skin. You are getting
the appropriate medicines. The pain is usually
gone in months, but it can linger for years.
