Well, it’s good that your surgeon is conservative, but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten very blasé about having my body sliced up, especially if they let me watch on a big video screen. I really like a nice cortisone shot, too. You are allotted approximately three per joint per lifetime, so I wouldn’t be afraid to…

You are a genius!

I did a few months of acupuncture 2x/week for chronic pain. Went to a highly recommended R.N. turned acupuncturist. Zero results :(

Super insightful and some LOLs too! Everything a person could want in a post. Thanks!

I did a year of acupuncture for migraine headaches and it didn’t do anything :/

No, I never ever got bruises from them trying to find the right spot! From my experience they stick the needle in with a very light touch and give it a little twist, which feels like a little shock but it’s fine. Your provider is either very inexperienced or really bad at this.

I’ve never had shoulder issues but acupuncture has worked wonders (as in, I don’t believe it’ll work and it does) at relieving pain from my chronic tendinitis in my ankles. It was also the only pain relief I had available when a herniated disc appeared in my lower back and I felt I was being stabbed all the time - I…

“Budweiser? I don’t smoke that cheap shit!”

This is insane. They know this is going to happen. Set up a few tents with beds and equipment and lots of fans, and send the kids there to triage. If their vitals are fine, give them some water and a bedpan and call their parents. If they need an IV or more attention, send them off to the ED. There is absolutely no…

It is illegal though. The city recognizes that a loud, parked ice cream truck is a nuisance. He can play his song to drum up business all he wants as long as he keeps moving. When he stops to make some sales, it’s supposed to go off. When he needs more customers, he moves on. These are the rules the ice cream truck…

I actually hate the ice cream truck in my town, because it drives down my street full speed, playing the damn song, without stopping. I don’t know where it does stop, but ain’t anywhere near my house. So I’m stuck with Pavlovian desire for ice cream, and I can’t buy it.

Seems to me the KKKeebler Elf would not be above a little hardball to make sure he doesn’t get thrown overboard. Presumably he has enough shit to hold over Trump’s head to keep himself safe for now.

He likes children who aren’t subpoenaed.

This is some inspirational internet!

Grad school I went to had a specialized masters in medical sciences specifically for students wishing to enhance their credentials. It’s actually been pretty successful in helping to get them admission into med school.

Im 31 and all this support is reigniting my desire to get into pathology. Stop confusing me, I thought I had my shit figured out!

I hope so, but I’m not yet convinced.

“No need to seize the last word; I’ll assume it was something clever.”

LOVE.

Naaaah. A bullet in the head was too good for those guys. Really. As she says, they killed a pregnant woman and slaughtered their host’s guests.

I think if Sansa were a true weakness he wouldn’t have pimped her out to a Kibbles and Bits.
