Being in a goofy mood last night, my mind took some very strange turns on it’s path to sleep. I began thinking about this funny rheumatoid arthritis (RA) page someone linked on the DailyStrength forums. You’ve seen this type of article before, “You know you have/are ** when”. Then I started thinking about the “Love Connection” and all those cheesy dating shows I watched as a kid. How would these shows have gone if they introduced people based on their medical issues? (please note that I am not Tina!)
My love connection
Chuck Woolery: She’s a 28 year old RA patient who enjoys range of motion exercises, chatting on health related forums, and wearing pajamas every day. Let’s meet Tina!
Tina slowly walks across the stage wearing Pjs, slippers, and carrying a heating pad. She inexplicably has giant 80′s hair.Chuck Woolery: Let’s hear a little about yourself, Tina!
Tina: Well, Chuck… My turn-offs include long walks in the park, child-proof packaging, and shoes. My turn-ons include long massages, anything with big handles, and Vicotin. My ideal man would be very strong… strong enough that he could lift me out of the bathtub if I got stuck in there. Ideally he’d be a Rheumatologist or a family doctor, but I’d settle for someone with a good health insurance plan. He’d have to have his drivers license so he could be my chauffeur, and a car that’s easy to get in and out of.
You get the point. How would you be introduced? It’s something to think about if you’re laying in bed tonight with the Love Connection theme song running through your head…

1993 Love Connection: I picked this clip because it has the intro, I didn’t watch the rest. If I can’t sleep tonight, I know I’ll have that stupid theme song in my head….
Great inigsht. Relieved I’m on the same side as you.
