Now that its been successful for a while is there any chance a physical therapist could give you a less rigorous regime? That some sort of healing has happened?

As long as we're whining -- I went to slaughter the Lutherans in my kitchen and my hot water is out. Feh.

I have tried cutting it a few times. If it is a typing day, I end up in agony by the end of day.

On non-typing days (or days I type less than an hour and a half) I can get away with a much milder 45 minute routine.

Maybe the PT could design something shorter though?

Certainly worth asking.

I completely understand your need to vent, Typo Boy. That's a lot of serious effort to be able to do something you want to do, it deserves acknowldegement. And, sometimes it helps to just kick the universe for its nasty trick before going back to business as usual.

Daniel, does your Cuz A. know he is moving out, and B. have a definite place to go?

Yes, and sort-of.

Here's how it all lays out as of right now. He gets about $200 from the state to pay for his housing and utilities. He does not give this to me, and uses it for spending money.

The state has a plan called Section 8 (heh) housing, where you can stay in an apartment for 30% of your monthly income. So basically Steve would only have to pay $60/month for low income housing. But, he whines, he'd have to pay for things like the electricity and gas and a phone. He "Wouldn't have any gas money" for his truck, and he can't abide by that.

His solution comes in the form of a dirt-floor shed on the land of his friend Ed's farm. It has electricity and there's running water, and did I mention the dirt floor? Steve plans to live out of his truck there for a few months. He's leaving all of his stuff at my house, except for his clothes and toiletry for now.

God knows if it has a toilet, even.

So yes, Steve will be gone, his crap wont.

Basically he's three steps and an education from writing a manifesto.

Or maybe because it's Brian's world and we're all living in it.

So true, so true.

He thinks so. Yeah, DSJ, I've always gotten a private laugh out of the fact that Klinger's psych discharge and low-income housing are the same.

Hi! If you would like to know what my life is like, just watch Monsoon Wedding. The end.

P-C, I just found this on IMDB:

A story set in the modern upper-middle class of India, where telecommunications and a western lifestyle mix with old traditions, like the arranged wedding young Aditi accepts when she ends the affair with a married TV producer. The groom is an Indian living in Texas

Tell, please. Is there news we should know?
