Random Thought Of The Day

[Powerstroke Cowboy]

I am a Teamster whose wife has MS. I like the idea that I can keep my much needed private insurance without being told to get in the back of the line for the help she needs.

Does your wife have the relapsing form of MS?

If billionaires are going to run this Country, I want the ones in there that are going to make me better off, and that is not the ones that are currently in there!

When 45 was in there last time, we did pretty well, so let's hope it happens again. We cannot continuously keep our borders open while giving everyone who crosses illegally free stuff ... it is just not sustainable and has to change, or we are done.

My school taxes have rocketed, and I don't live anywhere close to a border. School tax alone on a 3-bedroom ranch is over $8,800 per year. Half the HS does not speak English, and we have special food programs and washers & dryers (not part of any home economic program) so they can wash their clothes. Some classes the teacher first says everything in English, then in Spanish, so if a kid is in school for 6 hours, they only get 3 hours of learning. This is insane! And I have not even mentioned the kitty litter boxes in the restrooms!!!

I think the folks in charge of this State are on drugs! Time for change!

That might be true, but this is the first time in my life that I've seen people happy to see it.

Randy you might need to go read a book or 10, since the 1911 antitrust case against Standard Oil the Government has been run by the Club. Social Media is the only difference, well that and Media with an agenda. Social programs in this County have to be paid for by someone, those someone’s get to make the rules… You (myself as well) are not in the club, they all high 5 and eat bacon wrapped shrimp with each other after the theatrics they portray “representing us” is over.

Does your wife have the relapsing form of MS?

Yes, she has RRMS. Currently controlled for the most part with a daily pill, but I can tell when it's not right. If she gets sick and has to take an antibiotic she has to not take her MS meds until she finishes the antibiotic. Motor skills are noticeably affected.

I periodically combat sciatic nerve pain. They wanted to take a disc out of my back 4 years ago and I told them to fly a kite. I do an exercise routine almost every morning that usually keeps things in check, but lately I've been suffering. Have been going crazy wondering why nothing I do to get rid of the pain is working ... then I remember, I had a physical late last month.

I always say "no" to any vaccines (covid, flu, etc.) but my Doc convinced me that I should get the pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine, that it was very effective and had very few side effects. Well, I just got done researching the side effects and they include fatigue, muscle pain and joint pain!

Boy do I feel stupid for getting that darn thing, it is ruining my hunting season. I'm scared to go into the woods half the time because I will be hobbling in no time! Hope this crap does not last long. If anyone has any advice on this, please let me know.

Every single class action lawsuit case starts with “If you have been affected by the FDA approved….”

Sadly, we can no longer trust the medical community.

I can only relate to my own experience. My story would go back 45 years, so I won't get into that.
25 years ago a MRI showed 3 bulged discs causing sciatic nerve pain. I went to a yoga class and found the back of my legs were too tight causing my pelvis to tilt. A tilted pelvis will put your spine out of alignment.
A test would be to bend forward at the hip, keeping your knees and back as straight as you can. You can support your upper body by putting your hands on your knees or a chair. Relax into this stretch as forcing it will hurt you.
If they are too tight you can find a video that suits you for leg and pelvic stretches.
I haven't had the pain in my butt or leg since.

Part of my exercise routine includes stretching (toe touches), but I have noticed that I have been a bit "stiff" in this department recently, so your advice is likely right on.

I also received advice from a relative that stretches must be held for at least 30 seconds to be effective, so I will combine his advice with yours and work on it ... will see if it helps. Thanks.

The key is to keep your back as straight as you can and bend on the hips.

 

[MustangMike]

Another of my exercises (after doing knees to chest) is to stay laying on my back and bring both legs straight up. I'm thinking that provides a similar stretch.

 

[stretch5881]

The stretch that will release the German Shepard clamped on your butt cheek is this one. The only thing that I do differently is have my forward foot farther in front. I will never let my knee go ahead of my toes.

Since leaving the military the only vaccine I have gotten was a Yellow Fever vaccine because I was going to Nigeria.

Every year in the military I had to get a flu shot and every year I got the flu. After leaving the military in 2009, I have not had the flu once. And for 12 years I worked in DC, so I rode the metro and cram packed commuter busses, and so you would figure I would have picked up something along the way...but nope.
