tommyrot, if you can get a recommendation for a reputable chiropractor near you, that's what I'd recommend. I've had my jaw out of alignment (not actually dislocated, I think) in the past and my chiropractor would pop it back in. It hurt a bit to do that but it also hurt to not have it in alignment. So like a lot of my medical conditions, it would choosing short-term pain to avoid worse long-term pain.

Speaking of which, I've spent a lot of the last 3 days in bed due to RSI pain. I'm still hurting but the staying in bed in a room full of moving boxes is making my depression worse so cross your fingers that I can manage to get dressed and out in the world today without completely giving up as I have before.

mac and I are going to bible camp. Yay!?

I know I have to go, and he actually wants me to go, I don't so much want to go, but I want him to go to camps at some point. Hopefully this one experiment will be enough to convince him that he could do one next summer without me. This is less than 24 hours at the camp, just one night there. Still, I may be in charge of a cabin of 3rd and 4th grade girls. And I bet they don't allow alcohol.

You'll never know until you ask the girls.

OTOH, Xanax is completely permittable. In fact, recommended.

OH! I do have my big stress pills, I could take those.

ita, keep it up. you're on my wedding party list now, and I have just the hoop skirt, hat and parasol combo to fit you.

It is amazing how people try to rip you off and think that you won't notice because it's a small amount. I requested some documentation from my mortgage lender, and they said it would cost $10 (highway robbery, but I digress). I get my statement, and it says that I owe "other charges" of $13.78. I call and ask where the $3.78 comes from, and no one can tell me! Plus, she couldn't just waive it, she had to get an override. A lot of people would have just paid it, but I am a cheap SOB (and I hate my mortgage company and don't want to give them a dime more than I have to).

thanks! i just hope it looks as good ON.

It looks like it would be very flattering on a lot of different shapes.

I am also not buying any more tea until I have worked my way through the variety in my cabinets. Use it or trash it. Sitting in the cabinet forever is silly. And yet...

I'm doing the same thing. I know some of the tea in my cupboard is 4+ years old. Though I did slip up and buy some Duchess Grey at TJ's over the weekend.

To make up for that, I think I will have a cup right now.

I've never been in a wedding, except my sister's, in which I symbolized the West, jangled some wind chimes, and smudged the Unitarian minister with sage. Also wore my own clothes.

I've been in three weddings, one of them my brother's. I was happy to do it every time, but if I was asked again I would hope it was a more casual thing. Or that bridesmaid wear had evolved since the early '90s.

Know what niggling charge I really resented? A cable company who not only charged you rental on the cable box (standard enough, I suppose), but also a separate rental fee on the remote to control it.
