BTW - I fully agree with the visualization stuff. Its one way of getting your brain to focus on doing what it does, send the messages to all the right places to make stuff heal.

Perfect! The person who I learned from visualized his mother's lips kissing the booboo and making it alllllll better! Personally, I'm partial to a spray can of 'Healing Stuff' myself.

In a more objective experiment, a population of high school students were divided into three groups. One group practiced free throws at basketball every day for one hour. One group sat and just 'thought' about shooting free throws, while the last group did nothing concerning basketball. At the end of the test period, obviously the group that practiced improved their score ratio by quite a lot. But the group that only thought about shooting baskets also improved! Not nearly as much, but enough to be statistically significant. And of course, the group that did nothing produced the same results as before the test period began. Heavy stuff..... Stitchawl |

Coffee in my cup and ice pack on my shoulder.
I'm probably the last one to learn this tip, lol, but I'll share it for those who don't know it. Fill a gallon ziplock freezer bag with 3 parts water to 1 part rubbing alcohol, double bag it, and freeze it overnight. It makes a great flexible gelpack, basically free if you have the alcohol and baggies on hand, which I did. Worth going to PT just to learn that. Better than frozen peas, even! |

Nice. We will have to try that.
2 cups of Oolong, One cup of Pu Erh and a cup of water. Off to make more tea and go to the bathroom. |

While in the bathroom the fire alarm went off. Is it bad that my priority was to get back to my desk to get my jacket, purse, inhaler, and then stop in the kitchen to finish making my tea before evacuating?

So I was in an office building once that caught fire. This was obviously NOT a drill as their was smoke filling the hallways. Me and my boss grab the servers and got out. While out side I watched people exit the building to see what the choose to save. Some had pictures, or other things that had sentimental value.
One guy came out in the last group of people, or nearly last and he was carying... you ready for this.... a cheap plastic empty in box. The kind that are like 3/$1. Building was on fire, and that was what he choose to rescue. To this day, I do not know why. Oh cause of the fire? A squirrel chewed through a power cable to the HVAC. |

Nothing serious, the deli had something set off the fire alarm. They used a fire extinguisher before the trucks got there.
If there was a hint of smoke, I would have left immediately. There was no smoke, no flame. Burnt popcorn has set off the fire alarms so it is hard to take it too seriously. Pneumonia is getting better but still there. I got to use a nebulizer for the first time in my life. Always fun with a squirming baby who thinks the hose and stuff is a toy. Round two of steroids to hopefully finish off the nastiness. I just want to be healthy by the time Christmas, and my family gets here. |

Love is a burning thing
And it makes a fiery ring Bound by wild desire I fell into a ring of fire I fell into a burning ring of fire I went down, down, down and the flames went higher And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire The ring of fire ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hbo6WhbNRsc ) Good morning, everyone! Enjoy the Ides of December! It IS safe to go to the forum today, just in case you were wondering. East India Company's "Royal Breakfast" tea in my cup, and a round of home-made flat bread (I cooked it on the bottom of an upside down wok!) spread with a mix of za'atar and olive oil to break my fast. Rainy Saturday, but thank goodness it's warmed up a bit. I was beginning to think the roads were going to start getting too cold for safe riding. 11°c out and it should get even warmer later. Quote:

You ever try to make a floor lumpy? I think I'd be thrilled with the possibility of it being softer! Japanese 'futon' aren't like the ones sold in the US. Futon translates to 'quilt.' When we visit my in-laws, they layer four futons for me...

I know about you sleeping on the futons. when you say your kit is under your bed, I would think that would make it lumpy (it looses the humour when you have to explain the joke)
