Living With Fire Marshal Bill (AKA Metaphor Much?)

Laugh at what scares you; it will only make you stronger. Let me show you something…

For those of you unfamiliar with Fire Marshall Bill, let’s get you up to speed. A long time ago, George Bush Sr. was president, JLo was a "Fly Girl" and Jamie Foxx showed us the only way to snap on the show “In Living Color"- the show where everyone was equally kind. Jim Carrey was also a member of the cast. Out of his many characters my favorite is Fire Marshall Bill.

Fire Marshall Bill could easily pass for a Scleroderma patient with his bird like features. His burn scars are very similar to the facial tightening caused by that disease. I like to call it the free facelift and nose job, similar to a gift with purchase, but I digress. Fire Marshall Bill would share his vast knowledge of fire safety with anyone who would listen and always absolutely free.

What does this have to do with Scleroderma or any autoimmune disease? Watch this video of Fire Marshall Bill, and then continue reading.

Now, imagine some cells in your body with teeny tiny Fire Marshal Bill faces and even tinier bottles of lighter fluid messing with mitochondria and lighting cell walls on fire without prejudice. Cells creating mass chaos and destruction all in the name of safety. Damn those confused cells of an autoimmune disease! Okay, calm down. Flare ups will happen. So when we can’t get the match out of Fire Marshall Bill’s hand, we just have to ride it out and then find ourselves a hot firefighter with a blanket and some coco. Remember to get some rest. One needs to keep a close eye on that bull in a china shop with flame-throwing hooves.
