    Don't you find the smile helps............it is better accompanied by a good dose of Dihydrocodeine I must admit.

    Exactly. Same if you live with an "invisible" disability, or chronic depression or similar. "How are you" isn't so much a question as a greeting for most people.

    I understand, Bruv, but I think when most of us ask we really want to know.

      I include myself in the "most of us". Also, when someone asks me this question and I really am not well (which is very, very rare, something which I am most grateful for), I tell them.

    It's invisible to strangers, perhaps... but not to those who care about you. Count me in.

    I work in our pain clinic almost every week and there are many who suffer. My hubby is a Chiropractor and also treats many with chronic pain. My heart goes out to all who suffer in silence. That's why we can't ever judge others when we see them parking in a handicap spot but don't look handicapped...you just don't know how they are suffering. Please take care and I wish you pain free days....if only I could send that through the mail!

    So true -- only I think of a lie as something done deliberately deceitfully or maliciously. Not just being picky, but don't like to think of you thinking of yourself as a liar. :)

    Whenever asks me how I am, I always grin and proclaim "I'm Wonderful!" It makes them wonder what I've been up to and if my joints ache and my "rotator cuffs" scream, and my fingers gnarl, well it's none of their darned business. Nor am I lying. Almost every day on the sunny side of the grass is wonderfully better than the alternative. Leslie, the Canadian, eh.
