My neck fucking hurts. Either this is my PT's fault, or mine for not icing enough and soon enough.
The blame game doesn't seem to make the pain go away.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Why do I click on ita's links?!
IOW, photoshop.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm going to hate myself for asking this. Why ice vs. heat? I hate ice. It hurts.

Ice reduces inflammation. Most of these pains boil down to caused-by-inflammation or caused-by-tightness. Heat is for the tightness, ice is for the inflammation.
With migraines, I understand it can go either way. My neck needs more ice. I'll take a pack to bed and try not to cry of it.

CSI: So it's Buffy227? That's creepy in a fancreepy sort of way.
And George Eads seems to have lost the dead furry thing oh his face. Thank dude.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Poor ita. I wish your body would let up on you a little.
Hee. That originally said "would stop being mean to you", but I changed it, and didn't erase the me in mean. Really not a freudian slip, I promise.

Damn. Given the lack of help from heat, I should try the ice. Which, on my neck, is cringe-making. But so are the nightly headaches. Damn.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Second, Why is Rachel McAdams doing the monochrome thing? Is monochrome even the word I mean? Her hair's all blonde and her skin is all tan, and it's just no good. She looks like a hundred other actresses like that.
We've been bemoaning that. She's very very cute as a brunette on Slings and Arrows.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Timelies! I seem to have Flexeril hangover, which doesn't seem fair. However, it is above freezing for the first time this week here, so I've at least got one thing to be positive about. Oh, and also... it's Friday! So while I'm too logy to get up and cheer, I can at least listlessly waggle my head side to side....

Ann, that's a ferret.
From the overnights:
You missed the part where it only goes off if it's 37 fricking degrees!
Ice can stick around even after it's warmed up. It was 35 when we left the house this morning, and the roads were pretty icy.
