Because I’m fresh out of ideas to write about, please enjoy this My Odd Sock reboot….. Why me? is a common response when you are served a heaping helping of multiple sclerosis as a diagnosis from a doctor. Though, one can imagine a “why me?” is common to any major diagnosis, whether it be …
Thanksgiving…and everything you’ll need to stomach this day of celebrated feasting. Why not begin with the canned cranberry sauce pictured here. Mmm, don’t you just love gelatinous fruit? Does anything look more unappealing? Dog food slides out of the can looking much the lumpy same. Even the pooch won’t touch it till I mush …
You can’t make a pie if you don’t have the filling. Okay, how does that relate to multiple sclerosis, you ask? It’s a fatigue issue really. If you don’t have the energy inside, not much is getting done out. Fatigue hits me hardest on warmer days. Feels like I have concrete in my …
Granted I can’t do much, but I can do what they do. I’m talking about the flood of “intelligent personal assistants” on the market today. Amazon’s Echo & Echo Dot…Google’s Home and the Home Mini want to turn on your lights, play music, tell you the news & weather and buy crap. But …

A recent event around the My Odd Sock household brought to light another ugly reason to despise multiple sclerosis. You see, I can’t do much to help. Lending a hand is like having all thumbs. Pitching-in is more of pitching-out. Over time, I have learned it is best to back-up and stay out of …
I love pie charts. And I love pie. Though not necessarily in that order. Pie charts are a fantastic way to present useful information. Or in this case, nonsensical info relating to our beloved multiple sclerosis. Take a peek at these pie charts and maybe you will come away with a smile. Enjoy… …
Again? Seriously? Yep, I’m being too lazy to write something new. So please enjoy this repeat My Odd Sock…. “I believe that people would be alive today if there were a death penalty.” -Nancy Reagan (1921- ) Nancy’s quote really doesn’t have anything to do with my story. I just thought it was funny. A …
Because I have writer’s block, please plug your nose and enjoy this encore My Odd Sock. This is Maggie, a three-year old Cockapoo rescued from the shelter by my mother. Weighing just 11 pounds, Maggie is little pooch who gives my Mom big attention. Maggie is very social, rarely barks and only …
