Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Pasty Cline are actually my favorite country singers.
Add Hank Williams and you've got my DH's country list also.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Trust my rage
I have to get back to working, but I had to share.
It's so nice to be back home in my bed. Both of my dogs are sound asleep - the smaller one next to me on his back, the bigger one at the foot of the bed. Ellie is sound asleep next to my hip with her little hands in the air. (Joe is at work already.) It just feels so good to have everyone finally where they should be.

I'm so glad you're all together, and home, and getting settled.
Cashmere, other than hiccup girl, how was the film? Also, when I reply to your text messages via my e, do you get them?
Susan, I'm never completely sold on the COLD is superior to HEAT theory. In the immediate wake (48 hours) of an obvious injury, I've found ice to work better. In the face of a chronic sort of problem (like my own neck/shoulder), heat makes me feel better. Now whether or not it is improving things, I don't know. How does your shoulder feel after a hot shower?
I do think Plei's suggestion of swapping your mouse over to lefthanded is probably something you need to try, since you're pretty sure constant mouse use is part of your problem. At least you'll stop exacerbating it.

I love my country music, and no one will ever take it away from me. Tease me endlessly? Yes. Take it away? Nope.
Poor Susan! Sounds like you're doing all the right things, though. Cut yourself some slack. You'll get through these things. I have faith in you.
Yay, Cashmere!
ION, one of my NOLA friends has found that her house is intact, although the fridge exploded.
Well, that's better than it could have been. Although, finding an exploded fridge has to be a little disturbing.]
Stephanie, I'm crying over here. I'm just so very, very happy for you and your whole family. You are one strong chickie, and I'm so proud to know you.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
My husband loves to tease me caue despite my heavy metal leanings, when we lived in Washington state years back all I listened to was country. We moved back home and I was back to my hard rock.
I can't explain it. But I can line dance. Two step - not so much.

I can't line dance. I've always wanted to learn how, but no one would ever go with me.

Come on down - I've been wanting to hit the Saddle Rack, but never had anyone to go with.
Did I just admit to that?!?!?

Yay for Stephanie-at-home!
My sister forced me out on the floor to line dance. I agreed on the condition that she'd let me teach her West Coast Swing. Line dancing's actually kind of fun, and better for me than two-stepping, as I always want to crack up while two-stepping for some reason.
Mal and I just got caught in a thunderstorm. We hid under someone's carport until it was past, but it was right on top of us - the lightning and thunder were simultaneous, and LOUD, and all my hair was standing up. Every lightning strike, the birds would all launch themselves into the air.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My PT opines that if swelling is part of what's causing pain, DON'T HEAT. It will increase the inflammation.
Sadly, for me, it's a lot of swelling impinging on nerves. Well, it's better than having disc problems, but I like heat treatment. I admit, I cheat every now and again with the hot tub, but the PT can always tell, since my back is visibly more puffy if I hit the tub three times in the week before I see him.

ita, if the source of pain is a (non-swelling) pinched nerve, is that when heat is a beneficial treatment?
When my neck acted up a couple of years ago, my PT friend said if the deal was not a pinched nerve, I should have Scott massage me with ice, past the point of pain, and instruct him beforehand not to stop, even when I was crying and begging him to stop.
I trust my husband with my life, but I cannot imagine asking someone to cause me pain and ignore all safety words. I ignored her advice. Also, I'm pretty sure a pinched nerve is involved in my neck problems.
