Of course you do, greens. Maybe y'all can start one. That would be fun to watch. Hahahaha i kid.
There is better but many people don't find it.
No, he doesn't need to be lonely, he needs to learn to correct what he did wrong.
Kid has a toy, stops giving a fuck about it. Mom says, you never cared about this toy, I'm giving it to the kid next door who wants it. All of a sudden, kid can't LIVE without the toy. It's SO UNFAIR his mom gave it to that kid. He HAS to get it back. So he can not play with it again because he doesn't give a shit about it, it's just that it belongs to him and therefore no one else should have it.
Standard child psychology. You train kids out of this.
No one said he should be lonely.
I like what Bowie said (the toy thing) and will leave it at that.
I just feel the need to disagree with this. It's true that playing house doesn't necessarily mean you're basically married, but it doesn't necessarily NOT mean it, either. You can be committed forever without a piece of paper. That said, obviously Boogie was not basically married...
Yeah, maybe counseling is an option?
They're still bare boobs with paint on them.
Oh, I know, I'm just saying why it was not. Just think of anything that your boss might be like 'what the fuck' if they come behind you when you open something, such as mine did when I flipped to this page, and then don't post it.
Went to the pain management doc today (have had back pain since my early twenties, nothing helps, it sucks, etc.) Im getting injections on Tuesday for it and I know Im being negative but in my mind Im just thinking "another attempt thats just going to fail" and Im just SICK of being in pain. Im (relatively) young and (try to be) active and I just dont want to deal with this crap anymore. I dont want to mask the pain with pills, I dont want to take ten minutes getting out of bed in the am because I cant move, I just dont want to deal with this anymore. Ugh and I dont want to whine about being in pain anymore either. Gross, this whole post just made me want to slap myself for being such a friggin whiner. But yeah, had to vent.
This is true unless you have something like arthritis.
Are you getting cortisone injections? What are they? Also ask your doctor about seeing a dietician and what exercises are good for you. Those two things can make a huge difference when it comes to chronic discomfort.
He mentioned he did see some evidence of arthritis, as well as two herniated discs. He said one was pretty bad, looked as if I had some trauma such as an accident but honestly, I can not think of anything I have ever done to my back. No car accidents, nothing that sticks out. Hmm.
I'll be getting cortisone injections and I believe a nerve block as well (if I have my info correct, I did write it all down but I don't have it in front of me) I did ask about exercises and I actually have been getting into yoga which is surprising as I've never been into "relaxing, breathing" type exercise, was always way too hyper. It definitely has been great for me, though. There are a few poses that I know to stay away from and I just go slow, do what I can.
I didn't even think to ask about seeing a dietician. I'm going to put it on my list of things to ask him though!
I have a back issue too, but opposite.
I had scoliosis surgery in Nov 2008(over 4 years ago, two rods in my back), I was told after a year I could bend and lift however much weight I wanted to, but just couldn't twist for obvious reasons. After my spine fused I wouldn't need to worry about my rods at all because muscle protected it if something ever did happen. The rods aren't needed, but it's a bigger surgery to take them out.
Anyways, ever since my surgery my parents have been super overprotected 'you can't do this, you can't do that' when my doctor clearly said I could rock climb, sky dive, zip line, dead lift, run, ride a bike, etc.
I applied for an El Centro Rad Tech program 2 years after my surgery and when I mentioned my scoliosis surgery(how I got interested in x-ray), they told me that they once had a girl with cerebral palsy and that she couldn't lift or do anything and had to drop out, so I should probably find a new career path. I was compared to a girl with cerebral palsy, all because I have two rods in my upper back.
Anyways, I moved on and now I'm at a different college for the same program that I am more than capable of doing.
I bought a bike, so I could start raising my endurance and I was yelled at about how I couldn't ride a bike because I simply have two rods in my back. I've been riding for 2 years now PERFECTLY CAPABLE, even with falling off at high speeds. I've bruised my legs way more than even putting a scratch on my back.
I was told I'd fall off while rock climbing and become paralyzed, I absolutely won't be able to lift more than ten pounds, and I wouldn't be able to reach up and stop the zip lining cable because I have two rods.
Well you know what, I've done all of that, many times. Perfectly fine. I can even deadlift over 100 pounds with absolutely no pain to my back.
And now I am moved out and live by myself, I feel as though I can do anything I want to, BECAUSE I'M CAPABLE NOT DISABLED.
I signed up to go skydiving for this weekend and unfortunately they had to reschedule me and I was near my mom, so she heard the conversation.
I pretty much got ganged up on by my mom, my dad, my grandma, my grandpa and other family members telling me how I am not capable of doing it. I asked why my brother, cousin and aunt could do it and are encouraged to do it, but I'm not. My grandma simply said, "Because you have two rods in your back, you're disabled. They are perfectly normal".
I'm so sick of my family not supporting me, I'm not disabled, I'm capable of doing everything except twisting. I especially hate the people that ask "Do you park in handicap" when I talk about the rods. No, I don't. It's been over 4 years, my god. My back is okay.
I live by myself, I'm moved out. I should be able to do what I want.
More people die/get injured driving than they do skydiving. Holy shit, am I not allowed to drive?
I understand there are risks, but why is everyone else allowed to take those risk, but me? I'm just expected to lay in bed all day like a vegetable because of the rods? ugh.
katerss, i have a teammate who's got the rods in her back. she's shy about her scars but she's not shy on the rink. and we play full-contact roller derby. her family was opposed at first but five years later with no injuries to her back, they've nothing bad to say to her about it.
