It’s absolutely hilarious that you have so much knowledge of Highlights. And it’s even funnier that I know exactly to what you’re referring. I have to wonder how The Timbertoes are getting along. How many things are wrong with this picture?

Thanks for the wonderful advice, though, I have to admit, I think I’ll go with Moonbeam on this one.

Red - Welcome!

Damn! Why must testicles be so involved in Chiropractics?!

I do hope you recover soon. Back pain is a bitch, which I know far too well.

Resonances: I have had trouble finding keyboard time lately too, thus I have fallen behind on the many blogs I like to read and comment on. If only my job allowed me to just sit at my desk and read blogs all day, instead of running about figuring out why so-and-so can’t print, or where what’s his name’s file was actually saved, etc.

My daughter had appendicitis twice! As a 6 year old we’d thought it was flu, but it was perionitis- her appendix had perforated and then closed back up. The surgeon wanted to clear up the peritonitis and put in drains, not cut into her healed up appendix. So he left it in. 10 years later … it finally came out.

I HATE when some asshole KID traces in the hidden pictures in HIGHLIGHTS with marker or crayon or whatever so it ruins it for anyone else who grabs that magazine. And I was really hoping for an update from you on Goofus and Gallant.

I have some advice too, though moonbeam’s sounds better, I admit. Get a 40 pound golden codpiece to hang off the right side of your body. Felt covered of course. Wear it all day for 3 months.

I’ve never before been to a masseuse, I guess I never had an excuse to treat myself. But now? Woo hoo!!! I love having a bad back! I hope I don’t heal before I get to go.

…I’m going to go lift something heavy without bending my knees!

Pam - I’ll chalk you up on the side of intelligent people who are pro-chiropractic… such a split issue. As I’ve said, I’m not entirely sure where I stand on the issue myself… All I know is that I’m too poor to go thrice a week.

Though with a back like mine three times a week for at least a couple months is necessary. It sure makes it worthwhile having fewer backaches and faster recoveries when I do.

xoxoxo

I think you’re giving me too much credit for bravery though… The only reason I made the suggestion to Nimish was because he more-or-less asked.

Romi - Oh good! I’m glad I didn’t defraud you.

Allison - I’ve only opened a People magazine a couple times, and it’s not the publication itself that I have a hard time with. I think it’s the fact that after the mid-90’s, I had no idea who anyone was anymore… and the few celebrities I did know were now considered elderly.

To tell the truth, I can’t be sure how I did on the point system… I did a once-over with a calculator, but with all those plus & minus signs & cancellations, I’m not sure my figures are correct.

Rosie’s healing fast really quickly: me on the other hand—not so much.

Nimish - I think you’re quite right… in internet-land, the original verbiage behind the acronym hardly matters anymore. “LOL” is it’s own word now, and you may do with it as you please.

Greg - I’m not so sure about the teabagging… I think he might charge me for the visit, and it’s probably not covered by my insurance.

I’ve not given up hope for my body yet, but I don’t think this is the course I’m going to take. I’ve just, this Monday, switched doctors; I have an appointment with the new guy soon, and will see what he thinks about the whole debacle.

Sam - Welcome Sam! You can lurk as much as you like, though I love comments,and greatly appreciate them. Chiropractors are a very controversial group, aren’t they?

I too have a love/hate relationship with chiropractors. It all seems so shady. But yet, I feel so much better after following through with treatment. I wonder why I don’t trust them?

And your point system is awesome!!!

So are you going to do it? The work, I mean, not the teabagging.
