Minnes, I have respect for the postal carriers in my neighborhood, in that I see what sorts of weather conditions they expereience to deliver the mail each day. I offer them some warm shelter and some hot coffee each winter, so we stay on friendly terms. At times, the backlog is in the central processing centers across Canada. It happens here as well, but the only thing I get of importance via the mail anymore are bills, and they can take their time getting to me. Still, I pay them online, where speed is to my advantage.

Hi guys!...I'm back from a gruelling exorcism that made the walls shake and my head turn around a full 360 degrees. The demon has been purged from me and it's so good to be just me again.
I've left the macnutt side in the Michael Moore post earlier and haven't been bothered since, so all looks to be well.
Hope you all had a great day...and we'll see you for coffee tomorrow morning at the clubhouse

Dr.G. · May 6th, 2003, 09:05 PM

Welcome home, Peter. There shall be coffee and fresh bagels waiting for you in the Cafe Chez Marc tommorrow morning. Until then and there...paix, mon ami.

The great troubles in the world should be solved by the partaking of bagels
I dont know how much I can type anymore, my arms and hands are in a lot of pain the last couple of days, maybe it some sort of repetetive stress pains.

Minnes, yes, bagels are part of the category of food I call "Jewish soul food".

I have osteoarthritis, and I have found that taking Glucosomine and Chondroiton (sp?) work wonders for my joints. I can't say if this would be of any benefit for your pain, but it is worth a shot if the alternative is expensive medications or constant pain. If it works, it will work prior to the end of the first bottle. I get my at Shoppers Drug Mart, and use their Life brand, which is the cheapest and most effective for my pain. Just a thought.

Dr, thanks for the prescription, but for some reason all my pain went away over night! Go figure.
My friend takes some sort of supplement for his joints, I ll get his opinion too.
Hmm, I wonder if it was the weather?
I just poured a cold rain on monday and I was walking around in it, so maybe that caused it.

Minnes, I have to admit that your pain must have been caused by my foolish mistake. I realized that I had promised Kosh to use my famous voodoo doll, which helped the Rangers beat the Devils in game 6 and 7 of the semi-finals in 1994. I had the doll out, which my wife and son also wanted to utilize, and so, I had 'My pins" clearly marked. However, for some reason, I wrote instead of "My pins", "Mi nnes". I can't explain it, but when I discovered this error, I immediately took the pins out. Thus, your instant relief. However, if the pain does return, consider glucosomine and chondroiton (sp?). Sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused you.

Peter Scharman · May 7th, 2003, 01:14 PM

Dr.G, did you by chance also mislabel the butt of the doll as "Pet-er" instead of "Pat here"? I've had a real pain in the butt lately that magically dissapeared yesterday. Maybe the exorcism was the actual remedy, now that I think about it. [img]tongue.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/lmao.gif[/img]

Sorry, Peter, but the pins were in the hands and wrists only. Maybe in your case it was devine intervention?

A beautifuly sunny day here in St.John's. I have spent most of the day in the garden since I have to start teaching spring semester on Monday. I always feels at peace when I am working the warm soil of spring once again. Paix.

Peter, LOL!!! Pain in the butt removed yesterday!

Dr. G., good luck with the start of Spring semester on Monday. No rest for the wicked as they say.

Hope all are well...
