they think neck relief might also mitigate the migraines somewhat, right?
It's a hope. But, honestly, the neck and shoulder pain is constant, so it going away will be worth it all by its lonesome.
Easy Bake. Flop-a-palooza. Woosh. Pop. I don't skulk.

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

It feels weird to be all, "yay, disease!"Yes, indeed. Especially becuase it's a disease or disease process which there is a clear and effective treatment path for.
(When I had 'frozen shoulder' it was an incredible relief to be told that even if we didn't do anything, it would most likely clear up on its own within a year. That didn't make it hurt any less at the moment, but sure made it more bearable and less scarey.)

I just like to tell the story. "My friend was nervous about her Catholic parents because she's a lesbian, but then her sister went and married an old black Muslim!!" Good times.
Hah! I love that someone is telling this story. That cracks me up.
It feels weird to be all, "yay, disease!" but I'm glad this gives them something they can try.
This! So...yay! And fingers further crossed!!!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
We almost had intertubes 100 years ago!
The Dec. 16, 1908 NYT reports on what might have been a close call: a proposal for the U.S. government to purchase, install and operate pneumatic tubes for the purpose of delivering mail and other goods:
"That it is not feasible and desirable at the present time for the Government to purchase, to install, or to operate pneumatic tubes," is one of the most important conclusions reached by a commission appointed by the Postmaster General to inquire into the feasibility and desirability of the purchase and operation by the Government of pneumatic tubes in the cities where the service is now installed...
...
One wonders what our communication system would be like if the government had undertaken a large scale, nation-wide, pneumatic tube system for mail delivery. It seems there was at least a small possibility that we might actually have had a system of "intertubes."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Oh my goodness-- I would love a pneumatic tube system!

Adam Walsh's murder is finally solved. Interesting quote at the end of the article:
What it also did, said Mount Holyoke College sociologist and criminologist Richard Moran, is make children and adults alike exponentially more afraid.
"He ended up really producing a generation of cautious and afraid kids who view all adults and strangers as a threat to them and it made parents extremely paranoid about the safety of their children," Moran said.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Many held the view if someone is meant to be with you, then they should know what you want without you telling them.
I can't be alone in thinking that people who hold this view earn every bit of frustration and unhappiness it brings them, can I?

Someone made a joke about making sure we have our badges with us because the Secret Service is here, and now I suspect it wasn't a joke after all.
