Send in a complaint to corporate?
I have been in some kind of pain every day lately. My back has been hurting me the worst, in two different places. I have been doing exercise for the last few months to try to improve my condition, knowing that my years of a mostly sedentary lifestyle are starting to catch up with me. I’m doing everything I can, therapeutically, to get better.
I’m going to be 30 in March, and people keep telling me that’s not old. Then why do I feel so old? I come home at the end of every day in pain. Right now, my top fitness goal is to get to place where I can stand up without groaning. I know that’s not normal.
No, Octothorpe’s a more recently made up name for it. But even if it’s not a Hash, it is a Hashtag, not a Poundtag.
You know, it really gets fucking old.
- Argue an untenable position.
- Lose argument based on Facts.
- Accuse opponent of false and malicious motives.
- Declare your offense.
- Stomp off declaring that you’re above (your own damned lies).
Friend posts Proverbs 29:7 on his FB friend.
Idiot friend of his declares that the Federal Government has no business being in the Welfare business and should leave it to the churches, saying his church has helped build a hospital in Africa and has a ‘Care Cabinet’ for those in need.
I post that Welfare spending in 2011 was $910 billion. There are an estimated 335,000 churches in America. Even if we cut welfare by two-thirds, this means each church would have to come up with an average of $1,000,000 each. His partial hospital and care cabinet isn’t even a drop in the bucket of what they would need to kick in to replace the government.
Well, before that I also asked if he was insane, because this would leave the poor subject to the dictatorial whims of the churches upon which they were dependent.
Idiot accuses me of wanting all the churches to shut down, declares me his enemy, declares his offense, stomps off in anger declaring his superiority. :rolleyes:
Oh yeah, came back later to declare that he was there trying to teach people and I should just go somewhere else. And this was on someone elses FB page, not his own.
No it’s not normal and it’s essentially the story of my life. I’ve never gotten a complete diagnosis but I have found that physical therapy works for some of it and drugs cover most of the rest of it. At the very least, you should have your back x-rayed!
Don’t you have a really heinous commute? That can do a number on the bod.
Agrees a lot with this. You probably don’t wear your wallet in your back pocket, but if you do, stop doing this when you drive. (that was a generic tip for people who do that.)
Do what ever you need to do to make your car seat comfortable. When you are driving, you are pressing those long nerves down the back of your leg against the seat while you use the pedals. That could very easily cause back pain. I’ve heard it called Truck Driver’s Disease.
MissTake I sent you a PM about your horrible cat upsets. I wonder if you should start a IMHO thread about them. There are so many smart people here who might have good ideas, but most of them won’t see a couple of posts in a very long thread.
Cats are teh wierd. Once I got so ticked off at mine because they kept peeing on the floor outside the foster room that I changed their brand of litter. Yeah, I’m a bitch. Surprisingly enough, that was all it took to get my resident cats to stop objecting to the fosters.
Which leads me to my rant. Bill is in out of town this weekend. Which bites, because I want him in our bed. And I want him to make the coffee in the morning. He does it so much better than me.
So, no man in my bed tonight, and no cats. They have abandoned me as well.
Is anyone wondering why our cats are upstairs? Its because while I was driving home from work, I saw a losted dog on the freeway. A very frightened looking losted dog. I turned around at the next ramp and went back to get said dog.
She is a very nice dog, when I pulled over and opened the car door, she jumped right in and tried to lick me up.
No collar, no tags, but a very well behaved dog. She sits and stays when I say those words. I’ll take her to the vet tomorrow to see if she’s chipped. I really hope she is, I want her to go back to her family, and we wanted to adopt a well trained greyhound, but I’m starting to get attached. She keeps sitting at my side and putting her head on my lap.
So, my rant for tonight is about people who care enough about their pets to socialize them, have them vetted but don’t put ID on them.
One of the best things about doing rescue is returning a lost pet to their people. Please people, please mark your pets in a way that they can be returned if they are lost.
Your pet will be returned, and the people involved will be happy. If you don’t do this, we are always sad, and the pet will be adopted by someone who might not love said pet as much as you did.
I heart you, purplehorseshoe. Actually, I have, how nice of you to notice!!!
Oh fuck off and die left ankle. Did you really have to give me a nasty sprain just because I chose to wear my damned clogs while food shopping so I could actually reach the top shelves?
Ow. Ow. Owwwww!
Mine did. BCBS. Its been watered down a lot in recent years, but it had that this year. Very sorry for late response.
While it becomes moot (it was announced that a different job site will have shots available on premisis late next week) I did report it. It was explained to me though that it would probably go nowhere. Corporate will push to BCBS, who will ask for the name of specific pharmacy.
The phone call I placed to the pharmacy where this was told to me was not recorded, so there’s no proof. The two possible results are “CB must have totally misunderstood what I said. Tell him to come on down here, as now I’d just love to shove this needle in his arm”
or “This employee will be disciplined as this doesn’t represent CVS corporate policy”.
If I’d have taped the call & if I’d known a reporter to give this to, this probably would have been mid-sized story somewhere. Too late now, though.
Regular Physical Therapy & daily stretching can help a lot (its helped for me). I know this pain & its not even in the same state as fun. Please feel better?
Yes, I spend three hours a day driving, and I know it’s at least one of the causes. I bought a memory foam cushion for the car seat to hopefully minimize the impact.
We watched a movie in class yesterday, but we didn’t get to see the end of the movie because class time ran out. 
What was the movie?
That really is crap. What form did their advertised “guarantee” take? Anything you can bring into the store and shove in their faces?
Take the receipt to a different Wal-Mart and tell them the meat was spoiled or old. Problem solved.
Hey, they lie to YOU, you lie to THEM.
Well, there’s their website: http://seeforyourself.walmart.com/steak/
In the text, it says, “In fact, we’re so sure you’ll be delighted with our steaks that we back them with our 100% satisfaction guarantee.” Nothing about “Must be spoiled or old.” And in the fine print on the photo, it says “If you’re not completely satisfied with our steak, just bring back your receipt for a complete refund. No questions asked - and no need to bring back the product.”
Angry letter to the store manager, plus a CC to corporate seems to be in order.
Got caught up in the"High Noon" protests yesterday. Didn’t know they were going on when we drove through town. The state law says you have to stop your car for pedestrians in the crosswalks, not complaining about that , complaining about the protesters stepping in the crosswalks then step out. I didn’t know what the hell they were doing.
One of my relatives on Facebook has joined the anti-vaccine bandwagon because “vaccines are made from aborted fetuses”. Way to misunderstand the issue, lady.
(From what I’ve read, even the Catholic Church doesn’t have a problem with the origins of those cell lines because of all the good vaccines have done.)
Make sure that the seat is not forcing you to curve your back more than you would if sitting normally. Most seat makers design for the “standard human being”, who apparently has a shallower lumbar curve than the immense majority of women - and no ass to speak of. The part of my back that’s further forward is the lumbar curve; in many supposedly-ergonomic seats (and I don’t just mean cars), it’s the bottom of the back 
If you can’t adjust the lumbar curve until it matches yours, look into seat covers (padded, “old lady” wooden balls…).
