I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The NIH did an extensive peer-reviewed study that showed that chiropractic was more effective for low back pain than traditional medicine.

According to this page, what they've found is that spinal manipulation (which included chiropractic and other approaches) is as effective as traditional medicine; though none of them are very effective. [link]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My BiL was looking into training to become a chiropractor for a while, but when he was told that part of it was letting other prospective chiropractors practice on him he bailed on that idea.

I'm sorry, msbelle. I wish you could have come out with me this evening. I've been so NORMAL. I worked 40 hours this week and then went to happy hour. Ordinary = freakin' awesome. And listened to music that made me want to cry for reasons that would take longer to explain than the songs last, but that's just me. And, hey, did not actually cry, so. A good night.

I am intrigued by and curious about the amazing rectangle.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh msbelle, please vent away! The overwhelming neediness is so hard, especially when your own needs aren't being met. I wish you lived closer, I would happily hang with you.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ugh msbelle, please vent away!

What Burrell said.

YAY for a good night and a week of Normal for -t though!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

There's always money in a banana stand. Especially if it sells Tex-Mex food.

Looks like it is actually spring out there. AAAACHOOO!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yesterday there were kids playing with a basketball in the street, and last night there was a party at the house across the street until 3am.

It's officially spring.

It's been spring here, which makes me sad. I'd like a little more winter. Or at least more rain.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Went to a chiropractor back in '99 for neck/upper back pain. Seemed pretty helpful, though I can't say if it was the adjustments or the exercises he had me do that worked. Insurance only covered a certain number of visits, so I stopped going. I don't know if that would be helpful for my current neck/shoulder/upper back problems, as that seems to be more muscle based.
