Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Jessica,

I am not looking for an argument, but a discussion: I thought there was some medical evidence to support acupuncture. No? Really? WTF.

It works on Beau like gangbusters. I cannot believe that's all psychosomatic. I mean, maybe it is, but damn that would be amazing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The store I was working at this morning had donuts, it didn't occur to me until know that they may have been for Mardi Gras.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Happy Mardi Gras! I am eating a banana pecan muffin.

FWIW, I know people who've gotten acupuncture on their horses, and swear by the results. Totally anecdotal of course, but enough to make me go 'Huh.'

My sister got acupuncture on/for her St. Bernard. Not sure it made any difference, frankly. There's no real way that needles & nerve endings can stop aging.

hip deep in pie

So I intended to get pancakes when I left the house and ended up with Pad Thai. That's close, right?

And who are all these people in the mall on a Tuesday afternoon??

Ann, that's a ferret.

Our cat Teddy loved acupuncture. Made him melt into a relaxed puddle of tuxie. I think it may have slowed the kidney failure down a bit, but I can't say for sure.

Marie tolerates it, but she's still around more than 2 years after losing the feeding tube. Whether it's the meds, the herbal med, the acupuncture, or all 3, I can't say.

What I can say is, it doesn't hurt.
