Help! I've Fallen.

Am I a bad person because those LifeAlert commercials make me laugh? It's not the idea that people are falling without help nearby, or that people can call the police by pressing a button on their necklace....it's the slogan that gets me every time. Every single time.

The commercials go like this...

-person falls

-they can't get up

-they remember to press the Life Alert button

- heartfelt testimonial from family member

-happy scene

- call this number!

I don't mean to be rude, but those commercials are full of hooey.........

I have it on good authority that when people (of any age) take a tumble they don't calmly/slightly overdramatically exclaim,

"Help, I've fallen and I can't get up!"

It's more of an "AHHHHHHHHHH" (shock mixed with pain)

or an "UGHHHHHHH" (horror mixed with pain)

maybe even possibly a 

"HAHAHAHAHA" (if I laugh, others will too)

and lastly, my personal favorite, the

"!*!&$**!&$^*&@$%&*@!&*^&*!^&*$^*&" (full use of personal expletive library)

And so, today, I promise to admit my problems as they come, vowing never to downplay them, assuring you that I will be honest, trustworthy and candid when explaining/blogging to you the crazy that is my life. 

Honk if you know this guy!
