We couldn't stop rubbing, spreading it from one kid to the next, one eye to the next. Came back round to me twice before the under-eyelid ointment goop worked. So have you watched any Star Trek Discovery? I like it. Fortunately I binge watched it during a free trial period so it didn't cost me anything. I think any new account gets the same deal.Tunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930237104692982421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-20265326520172148092020-09-15T19:10:30.959-07:002020-09-15T19:10:30.959-07:00And they didn't need a laptop to remember you ...And they didn't need a laptop to remember you and your ailments!OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-25090682326554921602020-09-15T19:03:45.972-07:002020-09-15T19:03:45.972-07:00(Don McCollor)...Ten minutes, two stitches hold ga...(Don McCollor)...Ten minutes, two stitches hold gauze over for 5 minutes (by my watch, he approved of that) to stop bleeding (I did worry when he said S--T partway through - turned out sty slipped out of forceps)...Hard to find a doctor now older than I am.

For someone like me whom a normal massage therapist is just an annoying visit to someone playing an expensive game of 'I'm barely touching you' rolfing is the way to go. I told one massagist to just get a ballpeen hammer and wail away, as what she was attempting to do was annoying her, me and my wallet.<br /><br />I have... thick skin. Literally thick skin. And my muscles live in a constant state of tension. One poor lady, a good friend, spent about 3 hours on my back one day. Finally got it all nice and loose. I sat up, shook myself, and the shoulders went tense all over again.<br /><br />Now... I've secretly wanted a Turkish massage. Big meh ripping out your muscle groups, tossing them on an anvil, beating them flat, slapping them back on, and then settling them back in by throwing me around the room. Ah... Heaven. <br /><br />(And, yes, after a day of being beaten by sticks, I was usually more lose and comfortable than a day at the keyboard...)Beanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15293778848879361153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-84458419518221295792020-09-15T08:29:04.551-07:002020-09-15T08:29:04.551-07:00I am taking it easy and one day at a time.

No fun atoll. <br /><br />Those crafty Asians have all kinds of herbs and massages for fixing what ails, I wonder if the fetching Mrs. might have an idea of what to do. Mix a little of John's suggestions for a Raquel Welch outfit and some strong arm Korean Kung Fu workover, and I bet your eye would snap out of it from terror if nothing else.<br /><br />I watched a guy get a "Swedish" type massage at school once (not x-rated, thank you). From a Finnish farm girl. And she was grabbing internal organs through his back, I swear. Made my eyes water, and I just about lost control of my bowels... I thought she was gonna kill him before it was all said and done. He NEVER asked that blue eyed beauty for a massage again. I was plainly afraid of her after that healthy interaction....
