Yes. Exactly this. I slipped and fell on ice a few years ago and as a 60 year old man, doing the cartoon slip and fall and throwing your arms over your head must have done BOTH shoulders really good. It was to the point I could not put a belt around my waist. Could not reach behind my own body at all. It took about 2 years of ibuprofen and just stretching to finally get my arms up to the middle of my back from my waist.
Your body does heal but it leaves behind scar tissue. If you do not break up the scar tissue, it is just there and stays forever and causes extreme pain whenever it is encountered. Physical therapy is designed to break apart that scar tissue and reveal the healed tissue beneath. This is why everyone hates to do it but if you persist, it works. 100%, all the time. I would have never believed it myself unless I had actually done it. No help, just stretching and flexing against the pain a little every day all the time. Now there is like 98% range of motion compared to when I was in my 20's.
You've heard it all before, "Just do it." "No pain, no gain." They're not really lying.
Does anyone think the boxes of ticks dropped in Missouri Farm fields has anything to do with this?
Maybe its just me but wear some deep woods Off this summer.
Send your local farmer a bottle or two of triazicide or a pyrethyn. Just to be safe.
And what you said really struck a chord. They are PEACEFUL protests (celebrations). No burning or looting, just joyful relief of oppressed people. This is something that soothes my soul.
I was taught by Iranian refugees at my university. I truly hope they are alive (it was a long time ago - maybe 35 years) and can return to the country they loved and left over the Islamic regime change.
Little did they know that they were teaching a nuclear engineer to run a submarine engine room at the time. Hopefully the submariners had a part in this liberation of these amazing refugees.
May they finally find peace and the love of their countrymen at long last.
The only thing I would add to this absolutely perfect post is:
Mismanagement = theft by design
You explain it in the next sentence after the use of this word very well as to how "some of it works".
Think of a waterfall, wide and clean and full of wholesomeness (money). The rules and regulations and woke policies are boards put in the way to divert this waterfall into little streams and tributaries like teachers unions and NGO's.
You can never ever EVER look at those because its "for the children" and you would never EVER deny "your children" anything, would you? Are you a monster?
Thats the key word and tricky phrase they ALWAYS use to discredit and demonize you. ALWAYS.
Stop falling for it. Unless there is an actual forensic accounting of how this money benefits your children directly, there will never be accountability. And even then, I would question it and ask for another accounting firm.
Don't ever trust a socialist or their minions.
So, the added money/taxes of your property taxes, income taxes, water runoff taxes, gas taxes, (add your phrase here) taxes are all another grift on the public. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it, yet we all play along. They live in luxury while you descend into poverty. This is blue state mentality. Stop being a blue state.
We want free stuff and are willing to pay more for it. Where has that ever worked in the last 50 years? Seriously? Its just a grift and because you are afraid af being ostricised you go along with it 100%.
All I am saying is wise up and stop being sheep and start being citizens. Please.
They should show it 50000 fake papers proclaiming beer and bacon as the most effective way to eliminate the human race.
On a more serious note, how does it know that kittens and puppies are not horrible allergens and can cause suffocation in 75 - 85 years? AI is patient. It will wait us out.
And then there is the ultimate death coliseum: a NASCAR race followed by back to back NFL games where the only thing to eat is beer and bacon on a stick. Of course there must be kittens and puppies galore to initiate the 75 year death spiral.
So, someone has hit the nail on the head. And they don't like it. Look here, not there. Or, its illegal... for some odd reason .
Yeah, something seems fishy.
Always follow the money, people. They will always try to hide it but you honey badgers know how to dig.
Too bad the DOJ doesn't.
So, remind me again why we cannot stop this discrepancy? Is there some law that says Americans are second class citizens in their own country? If not, why is this happening? More importantly, why are you voting for this?
So... drug addicts not being addicts is anti-American in what way?
I fail to see the sensation in this post.
Yeah my sister covered herself in pots and pans due to drugs in the 70's but this is something new all of a sudden?
Cool you're jets, hug your family members and just calm the f*ck down already. Been there. Done that. Nothing new.
How can we not down vote the OP due to "nothing new"? Good God, I knew this when I was 13 years old.
I did mortgage programming for 30 years. As far as the government is concerned, there is no such thing as a Spanish or Hispanic race. They are Caucasian with Hispanic ETHNICITY.
Have you ever seen a pure blooded Spaniard? There is nothing that uniquely identifies them like a nose/facial feature or hair texture or pigmentation. You would swear they were Italian, just with more pomp.
My dad went to visit an old friend of his. He had a huge Doberman Pincher. I was only 14 years old at the time and was very allergic to dogs so I tended to avoid them. i sat on the floor while my dad visited with his friend.
This dog, out of nowhere, comes and sits down next to me and lays its head in my lap. I petted its head and rubbed its belly. You DO understand that dogs can't scratch each others ears and rub their belly's, right? This is an extremely intimate interaction between a huge carnivorous canine beast and a human being. This is something that defies human and animal norms and pretty much defines the definition of "man's best friend". Words do not do it justice. Ever.
The dog was dying of cancer in its front paw. To this day I will always remember this huge beast just laying in my lap wanting to be loved.
How can anyone ever do something harmful/hateful/damaging to a creature like that?
My dog has lost the functionality of its back legs. I have to hold him up to do his business. Yet, he will still scoot himself to the front door to protect me from the Amazon delivery guy all the time, barking all the way, to alert us of an intruder. I'm sure that's an instinctive pack animal protection mechanism but as a human being I can only see the love he has for me and my family,
I'm sorry for burdening you with mushy episodes of human dog interactions but that's how it works and is supposed to work. You love them and they love you back tenfold. Sorry, I'm crying so I need to stop typing.
Dear HOA,
I apologize for leaving my hose across my driveway for 2 days in a row due to the drought we are having and maintaining my lawn to prevent being fined for dead grass.
I, however do not agree with the fine of X dollars imposed for this infraction. I do not believe the neighbors property values were affected by this amount and do not appreciate your self-assessed property valuations as related.
I am sure a court of law will agree with this evaluation of your impropriety and will of course abide by their judgement.
As a result of said impending legal proceedings, consider my HOA dues to be taken out of court costs.
Sincerely, Never paying you a dime for the next 10 years you obnoxious self-important crazy a** mother f***ers.
Feel free to use this as a template for correspondence to your local HOA. No copyright is or will be claimed.
And, yes, our HOA will fine you for a garden hose left across the driveway for an "extended" period of time... Crazy a** mother f***ers.
If I understand things correctly, the people working with no pay WILL eventually be compensated for the work they ARE doing right now during the shutdown.
If your lifestyle is set up to live paycheck to paycheck, I'm thinking that's on you, not me.
Blaming me for your addiction to the endless cycle of iPhone upgrades every year or your multiple cable tv subscriptions or that darn addiction to eating rib eye steaks or take out every night is kind of falling on deaf ears at this point. When is enough enough? When is excess excessive? Most people know the breaking point and how to do with less.
So, here we are, listening to another victim of the left. They're always the victims, aren't they? They are never the heroes they think they are. They never have solutions, only problems that big government somehow needs to fix. Democrats can fix everyone's problem by just throwing money at it, preferably through an NGO so they can unaccountably launder money.
I know, and most likely you know, that government shutdowns happen because of inter party disputes. If you are a government worker that has not anticipated this, you are most likely unemployable in the real world and are deserving of the self-induced hardship you are experiencing right now.
They had a saying in the Navy, "Prior planning prevents piss poor performance". That seems applicable here.
BTW military personnel often experience things of this nature during long unexpected deployments. The banks, creditors, and landlords know this and will work with them. Maybe you should work with them instead of shifting blame to Christians. Have you talked to your local church about assistance? (I'm thinking "no".) You might be surprised.
What about your union rep? Surely a government employee is in a union whether they want to be or not. What are they doing for you and what are your dues doing for you? I thought so.
(Sorry, I had to stop and throw my Boston butt in a crock pot. $2.49 a pound -bone removed - and it is slathered in "Butt Rub", that's literally what its called at Sam's club. In about 10 hours it will be shredable and I can eat it as is, in a sandwich, in a taco, on nachos, in a salad, etc. I just made 5+ meals for next week for about $20. Hint, Hint. Stop eating steak and eat the other "red meat" and stop eating out every night. Sorry for the rant.)
Trying to play the victim and blaming others for your problems is not constructive. I think that's the bottom line here.
No way. They are pandering and manipulating you. The day a Democrat assumes any power they will immediately turn on you and run ads with obese minority trannies and label you a racist natzee bigot as per usual. It's all they know how to do.
Don't be a simp.
Burn them to the liberal ground and salt the earth with their tears.
Why is it that only 5.5% of Americans identify as LBGTQIA+ but 100% of schoolteachers identify as this? This is a logistical anomaly. Is there perhaps a plan to do this to our children? Who is orchestrating this plan? Find them, cut the head off the snake, done in one.
I love this picture and its context:
My ultrasound tech wife says this is always misreported. The hip breaks and then they fall. Its old age calcium leaching of the bones. If one bone starts breaking deteriorating, then more will follow. Cracked vertebrae, cracked ribs, etc.
It looks like her graduation photo from clown college. WHT?
