What Passes for Impalement Nowadays. Please. A man eats a French Fry and it tears his esophagus. Is this impalement? I think not. I'm still watching I Was Impaled because I want to know what to do if I am ever impaled, besides the obvious. (Don't take it out.) I'll go up against anyone in a side by side impalement.
Physical Therapy Is Better So Now It Hurts Even More, I'm successfully stretching out now (my left arm will rise almost as high as my right) so now they've added weights. I. Hate. Weights. I would rather have the pain than the weights, I really would. The pain will make me nauseated, but I can try to distract myself. (The PT refused to give me a distracting footrub while tearing my shoulder socket.) I have no weight coping mechanisms. And, this is sad: they are only two pound weights.
Gary's Mouth is Better So Now It Hurts Even More. The day the dentist pulled out Gary's last bone spicule, she bound up his teeth in the Invisalign. Agony. His bottom teeth hurt. It's a huge production to get the trays out of his mouth, so he has made a rule that he can only eat once a day. Strangely, his migraine is beginning to fade.
Gel Nails Are Too Durable. The manicure. That's how they get you. If my toenails grow out, I still never see that little crescent of new root nail, it's too far away. The fingernail root is in your face two weeks after a manicure. You can't take the nails off because they still look great. I took a toothpick and filled in the gap with an identical color. Still Spunky and the Nails may have to take the winter off. This much beauty is too much maintenance for me.
One-Drop Review. First of all, I don't have the hand coordination to stop after one drop; usually I get four drops in the commode. I guess if I stood in front of the bowl and lifted it up to my face and squeezed the bottle at eye-level I would have better luck. Usually I use up all my luck getting into the bathroom. It has a very soapy clean scent, so if suddenly you notice how very clean your bathroom smells you'll know what's up and can give your fellow occupant a belly bump when she comes out.
Here's my complaint about One-Drop. The bottle. It is very tiny. Very discreet. AND IT HAS A TINY TOILET ON THE OUTSIDE.
This may make the Japanese giggle but I do not appreciate it.
I love weight training - although maybe it's different in PT? I've been working with a trainer for three or four years now and I definitely feel less like a pile of goo and more like a balanced human. Keep in mind, I hate exercise; but weight training has enabled me to not fall when I slip on the ice and to move heavy boxes when my boyfriend quit talking to me the day before my household move.

1) I don't have any interest in impalement. I'd watch Honey Booboo before I'd watch that, and I'd have to be restrained to watch Honey Booboo.
2) I love weight training, too. I can only use 12-pound free weights, though, because when I use anything higher, my muscles start to bulk up, without the benefit of losing any of the fat. I look bizarre enough, already.
3) Can he drink with the Invisalign trays in? I'm just curious. I'd probably behave the same way.
4) No kidding. I often go 4 weeks between manicures, and I always feel embarrassed when I show up. No one notices the growing out part but you, by the way.
5) Does that stuff go in before you sit?

Amy in StL - I cannot see ever loving the weights. It's like feeling weak and in pain, not just in pain.
Tami - 1) One is Science! HoneyBooBoo is not science.
2) 12 pounds? Incredible
3) He can drink water. Dr Pepper marinates his teeth in sugar and coffee is a non stop tooth yellowing service. He shouldnt drink either but he does.
4) I've been trying to spot it on others. I can see it.
5) Yes, or given my urgency AS I sit.

This is what I'm taking from this post: I was right about the awesomeness of the One Drop. You're welcome. (Even if that's not what you're saying ;)

Autumn - It is what I was saying.
Hot Mom - I KNOW. You should be on I Was Impaled. Did you miss a major artery by millimeters?
