After almost 9 years, I'm pretty tired of office celebrations. I can't tell you how many parties and/or gifts I've paid into. We do parties right here, too. We're talking lots of loot for the celebrated. Thankfully company wide parties are limited to the big ocassions only: weddings, babies, retirement. I do get jaded, however, thinking of all the money I've spent and will never see a return on my investment. Is that wrong? :D At this point, I'm probably not goign to get married, and the baby thing is a no go, so I will never be among the celebrated.


Awww you can still get married. It'll happen eventually. Kids are sticky, smelly, loud and cost a ton anyway. You're way better off burning a few hundred bucks than having to put up with all that.

I'm notoriously bad about gifts. I'm always thinking about whether or not I'm going to get back what I give or thinking about the evenness of gifts between me and my brother. It's something I try to work on but I just can't help it. Birthdays were a big one for me. My birthday is only a couple weeks after Christmas so it was always like "here's a couple extra presents" but nothing big. Then my brother's birthday in april was always much bigger. Which is like a double whammy. I'd always get jealous and then feel bad that I'm getting presents but I'm so greedy that I want more.

I'm in the same boat with work these days. When I hear about someone getting a big bonus or a promotion when I'm working my butt off too I get all jealous. I'm trying to remind myself that I'm doing just fine and I should be happy to have a job that pays the bills and still leaves me with spending and saving money. So, I just take a deep breath and focus on myself and not others. I think that's the much healthier outlook.

Well, I've got yer back when it comes to Teh Mathz (one of the trivia questions last night was 'What is (162x289)/5 + 63?') [it's 9426.6], and MsB can probably feed your other weakness at home so that it won't affect you when you're out on a mission. ;D

Yeah because it was believed that AIDS was contracted from the monkeys. Not the band but the animal. And we just wanted to deal with that issue - just a couple of points. Just changing the attitude towards AIDS from being "Eww AIDSy" to more like "Oh! Fun monkey disease"

*shrug* I've got a few reasons I can think of...the one that comes to mind is this: I doubt you'd imagine anyone going through the "fun" that you or I have had in the past couple of years...but y'know, if I'm simply a product of you imagination, I'd love to have you start imagining that our individual lives weren't as "interesting" as a Chinese curse.

Well of course everything is in our mind. I store lots of useless information in mine.

And it is "Da Bears".

Our Greenbay Packers have to face them twice each year because they are in the same division.

Da Bears beat us both times last year. We owe them bigtime this year.

to all my imaginary friends.

Morning all!

So I have a wierd ponder.... not so much guys and girls but still.........

I have back issues. Lower back. Have had this for anout 10 years now. It flares up from time to time real bad but for the most part it is just a constant dull ache.

Pain killers kinda help but I don't want to get anything more potent than over the counter stuff. Most of the time the Doc wants to give me muscle relaxers anyway and they don't help for shit.

I have done physical therapy and it really doesn't help much either.

I go to the Chiropractor but re-aligning it is useless if it just tightens up half an hour later.

It is not like I am inactive so it won't get better because I am not doing anything either. I work out almost every single day and I get up and move around and stretch throughout the day.

So I was thinking about Acupuncture and was just wondering if anyone has used it before? If so what did you think and did it help for what you needed it for?

Thanks!

kelkhil:

How strong are your abs? Are you carrying any extra weight? How consistent were you with the PT exercises, both in and out of the clinical setting?

Sorry to be all pry-ey...but, IME, the three things I listed above are very important to lower back health...and are often not as attended to as they should be. Strong abs are a significant key to lower back health as is staying trim, especially for men who tend to carry any extra weight in their abdomen. Also think about your chair and bed...both can be big contributing factors to a sore back.

Give acupuncture a try, couldn't hurt (), right? But I would also see if there is any room for improvement in the above areas.
