Sunday Morning Talking Heads

.

I did a real stupid thing last night.  I attempted to move a television set from one room to another.

It was dumb for two reasons: a) the damn thing weighed at least 7000 lb. and b)  I have a history of lower back pain.  The painkillers haven’t kicked in yet so if you see anything in my posts today resembling this – $&!(#$!!* – you’ll know why.  Or if you don’t see any posts today, you’ll also know why.

The hot topic for the Sunday morning talking heads will no doubt be THE story of the century, the New York mosque and the end of life in America as you all know it should it be built.  Let us know if you hear anything else of note.

Happy Sunday. Open thread.

$&!(#$!!*!&

    I hope you get over your back pain soon Mario. A chiropractor once told me that we are very poorly designed for walking erect and would have fewer back problems if we walked on our knuckles like the great apes. Of course we would be in danger of being mistaken for republicans if we did that.

    Get better soon Mario!

  3. Ty. I’ve got some electrical gizmo thingy attached to my lower back at the moment. I doubt it’ll help but it’s keeping Debbie happy who is convinced it’s the fix. If that fails, she’s got some voodoo cure ready to go that involves a candle and blood from a freshly slaughtered lamb.

    Whatever. I’m content watching Rounders for the 100th time and letting the Aleve work it’s magic.

    Charlie I couldn’t have said it better!

    Lower back pain may be relieved by laying on the floor with your knees propped up by a sofa or something level to rest your legs up to ease the pressure off of your lower back. As often as possible, 20-30 minutes at a time should bring relief within a day or so. Breathe in and out of your nose and consciously relax your shoulders and back. Hope this helps, it has helped me many times.

    I have gotten relief many times by laying on the floor with something, like a rolled up Sunday newspaper, under the small of my back. We will either cure you or cripple you for life Mario!

    lol. Thank you, charlie. I’m going to go try missjustice’s move but not sure how long I can hold out looking up at the ceiling fixture.
