Kristin, next time you pop in, did the chiro help?

He did, yes, but I'm still hurting. I'm kind of torn, because he's really, really good and makes me feel a lot better, but he's also a little woo-woo for me sometimes. You know what he made me promise to do? I mean, really promise to do, to the tune of giving me a $10 discount if I said I'd do it? Eat a serving of raw potatoes twice a day for three days. Um. I'm sure that there's a good Eastern medicine reason for this, but I can't quite seem to squelch my cynical WTF.

But he also adjusted my neck and stripped out a binch of screwed up muscles and gave me enough functionality to be able to use the arm in some limited ways, so there's a method to his woo-woo madness, I guess.

My other dilemma with him is financial. I haven't had chiropractic coverage in over a year, so I was really psyched when I saw that I had 30 free acupuncture/chiropractic visits every year...until I found out that he doesn't participate because he "doesn't like what that group is doing for the profession." Dude, I admire that you're a man of principles, but I don't like what $85 per visit is doing for my pocketbook.

In conclusion: yay chiropractor, boo arm still hurting, yay coverage, boo principles.

Would running it by them make you crazy?

I tried to ask one of them and got a non-answer type response. I forget what she said, but it didn't help.

I just feel silly. This should be easy.

Thanks, Trudes! I love that picture!

If they have to drive a few hours home afterwards, maybe 2 to 5 would be best -- that way they'd have time to get home, without getting home way late.

And you could put out lunch type food from the start, and do the cake closer to 4 p.m. (so people get a hint when it's time to start thinking out leaving).

G-C, your neice has the most adorable pouty face. Ded from the cute.

The Glamcookie niece pouts are adorable. She is such a beautiful girl, but the silly smile is my favorite: [link]

Seconded.

Heh. Our entertainment goals may well be the same. When can I get them to leave?

You notice I also emphasized the having of cake.

silly smile

Hee! She is so cute, not that I'm biased or anything. She's just starting to learn to smile for the camera.

ETA that her wee purse kills me. She is really into bags, purses, backpacks, etc. that she can stuff with toys and carry around. At one point on my last visit, she was carrying around 4 at once!

Cake having is excellent. And a good way to start saying "Party is over...hit the road". But is it odd to serve cake at 4ish when folks haven't had dinner.
