I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

Hahaha Sunflowers! Yeah, it is a little weird. 

Ayn Rand is his hero.  

Yorkie - glad your nipple looks good, hopefully it will look even better when the shield comes off.

Up at 4:30 today - Steve gone to golf.

I must be the best wife - I like to see him go off with a hot breakfast as he may miss lunch - not that he would fade away if he did. Also he makes so much noise getting ready, I'd never sleep through it.

Thanks, Cherryl - haven't learned any new drinks, but a stock of nibbles ;-)

Yorkie - Yes a deeply convinced atheist, proud of it, cornerstone of her beliefs, as well as being pro abortion, not pro choice, but pro abortion.  I won't post the links to that, but they're circulating widely online.  Gonna be interesting, thank Dog for popcorn

Sunflowers, thank-you for the recommendation.  I just read an interview by him and believe I'll read at least one of his books.  I'm not opposed to woo-woo, as long as it actually helps, and I can certainly believe I've got some rage going on.  See, even my laugh looks kinda mean  .

Yorkie, mine has a "window", too.  the new one is a lot bigger than the old one - and the old one shrunk after the lift, so we'll see what I end up with.  I'm not doing the tattoing until early next year.

I've often found it funny that the conservative group is so in love with AR when so many of her ideals (other than financial) are in direct conflict with their beliefs.  But, picking in choosing is something humans always do, so I guess I'm not 'zactly surprised... 

Kam, I've been on it since December. Main SE I have had is carpal tunnel, but wearing hand braces at night fixes that. A lot of people say they get depressed, but since I'm on Effexor I can't tell. Some people talk about sleep problems but I sleep great. You definitely shouldn't be anxious. If it gets bad there are two other Als you can try. 

Garden, do they give us the "window" so we can admire their handiwork?  

WR - I always make sure I tell his golf mates

Thanks everyone for the good news on aromisan.  Sometimes not reading the headlines on BCO is a good idea and I have to remind myself people are usually posting the bad news, not the good news.   So many of my friends have those dreaded hot flashes, so nice to hear White Rabbit, that I might experience none of these if I hadn't before. Now carpal tunnel....I've had that before, yikes!!!

I've never understand the reply to those of who want to see the tax rates revert to where they were, that we should write an extra check to the IRS...maybe we should respond "and will you refuse Medicare when you turn 65?"  I just recently found out that Jim Cramer, on CNBC, pays ordinary income rates on his Capital Gains....I admire that. PR wants those rates to be zero.

Ayn Rand signed up for social security and medicare and was on both programs for six years until her death. What a hypocrite.

Blue - -haven't tried an osteo myself, but over here they are medically trained and lots swear by them. I think the treatment is more gentle than my manipulative physio.

Osteopath - a chiropractor with an MD degree - also happens to be the profession of the human being who crushed my spinal column when he "crinked" me, ala the usual chiropractor manipulation - material from disc burst and lodged in spinal column - result - loss of use of much of right leg from knee down, surgery a few days later.  FINE NOW.  SO, I don't have too much good to say about the crinking professions ;-)))  Read John Sarno - or ask GGumby about it.

Seriously - yup, the RAGE we "store" in those spasmed muscles - which then crunch down on the spine, with the yucky dics all ou bipeds have by our age.  I am fine without a LOT of discs, and holes in my spine ;-))) Nerve did regenerate after surgery, took about 3 years, 2 of them wearing a leg brace.  ;-))) 

I'd rather go thru all that again, than even THINK of voting for someone who was "inspired" by Ayn Rand

Susie, according to my docs, that line about AI being "effective" if you have SE's ain't true. I never had hot flashes when I had oomph about 25 years ago - don't have'em now.  And it's been 5 years  on Arimidex - really feel good.  Liked yoour thread in Alt Forum - I won't post ANYPLACE but here..but read some of them.

Blue- so happy you had a good Bridal Shower - best to keep knees bent, feet flat, or ROUND PILLOW behind knees ;-)

Keeps the hamstrings and lower back muscles as stretched as they can be.  Think of all those bars (pubs) which have brass rails about 6 inches off the floor in front of the bar - so when you're standing sloshing the booze, you have at least one knee bent - effectively taking strain off lower back so you can stand longer - AND DRINK MORE.  This is true.  Honest.  Also, fetal position on side, with pillow between legs to keep spine as level as possible.  Resting on the side which hurts least.  

Sun - ouch - don't like the sound of that. As to the SE's of the aromasin - I did have hot flushes when I went through meno - I'm not saying that none now means it's not working, I just like to tell myself that - helps me put up with them

I happen to be a great believer in chiropractic.  It's apples and oranges to blame chiropractic manipulations for what an osteopath does.  Chiro manipulations are geared to the nervous system.  Osteopathic manipulations are geared to the lymphatic system.  Since osteopaths have become more medically (ie) drug oriented, they do not practice their manipulation skills very often as compared to chiropractors.  For independent verification, check malpractice rates of osteopaths vs chiropractors.  Chiropractic rates are very low because there are very few cases statistically of permanent injury caused by chiropractors.
