My Spine is crooked
Category: health
All the intense couch side laptop use is making the top of my spine crooked and making me shorter. I really need t get this sorted out as soon as possible as it is the source of all my headaches. I realize that the first step is refusing to work on the laptop when not sitting at a desk. I am just too tall to sit on the couch and compute. The other thing that helps is going to the gym. Something that I do not do enough of anymore. I have pretty much gone once in the last 3 months because (e:terry) refuses to go with me.

Does anyone know of a good chiropracter that could help me with the spine situation? I am pretty much in serious pain at this point.

On another note, I took today off because of the massive headache I have rearding this issue and thought that it would be a great day to deal with healthcare issues. Considering, I have had health insurance for over a year now, it is quite ridiculous I haven't used it yet.

I scheduled my first dentist appointment since 1998 at The Craig Mueller dentist office down the street from me on linwood. It is the same place that Nameless Bitch went to to have her tooth extracted. I am hoping there will be no extraction required on my visit.

In 1997 I had all my metal fillings (12 of them) removed and replaced with porcelin ones. I had to go to canada to have this done because the american dentist refused to take them out.

I had them removed because they are supposed to be bad for you.

They told me those ones had a lifespan of only 5-10 years so it seems like it has to be time to have them fixed. It was so nice to never have that shocking feeling when metal got in your mouth that used to happen all the time when I had the amalgam fillings.

teres works for a spine doctor and there is a chiropractor in the office too. It is like the buffalo spine and neck center or something. It is on Essjay in williamsville

There is nothing wrong with computing on the couch you just need something higher then your lap like maybe a TV Dinner tray or something like that, that is easy to move. Another idea (but I can't think of anything high enough at your house) is to stand up and have the computer beneth you. Or you could always try laying down on the couch as you type but that might be just as awkward. I think the most important part is that you arn't bending in a weird way and that you mix up how your body postion is realitve to the laptop.

Paul, Zach's uncle is a chiropractor in Dunkirk. Kind of a drive, I know, but he is really good. Dr. Mark Kutner. I wouldn't give my name, though, he'll probably charge you more, tee hee!

Car Crash
Category: accidents
My parents got into a car accident last night. I am glad they are ok. My mother has some bruising and is in a lot of pain but in general they seem healthy. Some guy went through a red light and smashed into them. Luckily it totaled the front end of the car but missed hitting the driver side door because otherwise my dad would have been in bad condition.

It's so crazy how an accident can happen at any time to anyone.

The mice got into a bag of chickpea flower and mixed it with nutmeg.

oh crap, glad they're ok!! Did they end up at ECMC?

Wow,I'm glad for you and them. You hate to see and hear about stuff like that. Fate is a odd thing. It sounds like those "Safe happens" commercials from Volkswagon

This psychologists office is so tiny and weird.

The roadhouse tastes good. I love eating peanuts and thorwing them on the floor.

I hate this kind of salad. It consists of iceberg lettuce and doesn't taste very good. The steak and shrimp were delicious.

Nikon s7c Wireless Post
Category: nikon
This post was sent directly from a Nikon s7c camera.

I still love my camera. It is truly amazing. I cannot wait to hear back from Nikon. I had got an out of office reply when I wrote that email to them the other day. It said that the contact I wrote to would be out of the office until Monday.

I think maybe the weather people at the news should be required to look out the window. The weather woman on channel 4 said today was cloudy without much sun but if you look outside it is a completely blue sky and I am writing this sitting in the sun.

Last night I started to get fat. I mean I started to try and fatten up. At work they are starting a contest to lose weight but if I am to play I have to gain weight. The goal is to alter your body weight by 10%. I don't think I could do it so I might not even try but I also never thought I could be 150 when I was 135 and now that has happend. I guess everyone puts in $100 in the pool and then those that make their goal split the proceeds. I would have to gain 15 lbs. Which is just about impossible. I cannot imagine being 165. I think it would take lots of gym and protein powder.

I decided to kick that off at Wendy's where I had a spicy chicken sandwich combo plus a side of a junior bacon cheeseburger.

Elmwood Village or Elmwood Ghetto
Category: elmwood
I was just watching the television news and they had a story about a woman who parked her car outside the coop filled with donated presents for underprivileged children. While she was in the store, the car was broken into and the donations were stolen. I find it unbelievable that someone could carry out such a robbery right on elmwood. Did nobody see it or say anything?
metalpeter - 12/16/06 18:15
I didn't see the story but it is verry easy to break into a car and not have anyone know you are breaking into it. All you have to do is give the person enough time inside somewhare so that no one sees them and you enter the car at the same time. If you really want to pull it off pull keys out of you hand and then try all the doors and if any of them are open you are in. You can't break a window and expect to get away if anyone is walking but if no one is to close you could get away with it. I don't know if the person who stole the stuff was poor or not. But Elmwood is a great place for poor people to go cause there are a lot of people and that makes it good for handouts. There are also times when There is no one on Elmwood at all and it is kinda like a ghost town.
