The censor has the usual effect on a few things, such as the other name for Panasonic, Matsu****a.
And anyone who lives in S****horpe is out of luck too - as if living there isn't bad enough!
Sad to say, but censorship is a necessary evil, made necessary by a few jerks who would spoil things for others.
The rec.photo.digital newsgroup is also besieged by a few morons doing obscene posts - and while any decent newsreader program can blot out 95% with a relatively simple filter, it is annoying.

More hanging out
Another day. I'm sitting around trying to decide if I should go to the hospital or not. My back went out and I haven't decided if I want to go get loopy on morphine and pain pills or try to grit my teeth and wait it out. The only way I can get comfortable is to sit, and the computer is as good a place as any. I wish y'all had a program to fix this one!
My cat, Jack, is trying to walk on the keyboard. The other, Einstein, is waiting on the floor to be the back-up cat when Jack jumps down. It's so nice to be loved! I was thinking of trying to install a dog barking noise on here to keep them away. With my luck, they would just both climb up and try to sniff it out.
I know, I know. This is a serious site. But I am not having any computer problems and you're all a great bunch.
So, Wazzzz-up with anyone, come join me for a coffee or beer.

I know I can't mess with the back too long. I've been up yelling in pain during the night. But I kind of like my mind where it is. They'll put me on loopy drugs, and send me home to rest. I want to go to the golf course Sunday. There are priorities in life, Ya Know!!!

Oh, yeah. Never thought about the cats liking the mouse. Jack, the ****, is laying opn his back now with his legs splayed. He looks like a rumpled bag lady.

Chocolate chip cookies are good. haven't made them in ages. The kids are TOO grown. Eclaire cake has chocolate on the top. Chocolate ice cream is my favorite.
Been working on some p*l*tical stuff for Veterans. Interesting stuff. Any US vets here? I know I can't talk about it.
No rain is a good thing. We are supposed to get some Monday. I think it rains about three times a year in Arkansas. Nice, really nice.

Have you tried TENS for back pain? - a friend swears by it - well, it was actually loaned to him by the hospital ... I suspect for best effect, you have to be shown exactly where to apply it.
"Medical" TENS machines are expensive, but the same kind of circuitry, sometimes sold as dual purpose, is in many "ab toner" type devices.

I never heard of "TENS" so I'm not sure exactly what it does. I do have a full body massaging pad with heat. That seemed to help up to this point. I've been taking 800 mg Ibuprophen at a weeks. Problem is, you can only do that every 8 hours and they are only lasting for 4 to take the edge off the pain. Plus they tear up your stomach. I have decided the ER is the best way to go for now.
@janie similar to the massage pad things or like the JIM BODY 8 or electro stimulation pads for erm lazy exercisers etc lol
The ER here is great. It took about 45 minutes to get registered, be seen by a doctor, and check out. I am used to that taking at least 8 hours in New York. They gave me prescriptions for pain and muscle relaxers, and a shot of cortisone. This is the first time in weeks I have not been in agony and I even remembered how to smile right away. I don't know why I was so stubborn and held of going in the first place.
Coffee's on, biscuits piled up high. Any takers?

Pain relief with TENS (Transcutaneous Nerve Stimulation) is produced through high frequency electrical stimulation of the nerve which disrupts the pain signal so that the pain is no longer felt.
I'm not sure if the "prescription required" lark is just a put-on, in the UK, it's not essential, but it lets you get them with no VAT.
The EMS units - most basic of which is the cheap "ab toner" belt tend to operate with multiple and variable patterns - if they offer a simple pattern, they may be suitable for tens use (one WAS sold as dual function), but the mediacal tens units usually only have variable rate and intensity - when you've hit the spot, you don't want it changing rate or intensity.
A friend was loaned a TENS unit from the hospital - they were originally planning to OPERATE (disc problem, can't remember what) but it recovered itself after TENS relieved the tension. For TENS to really work, I supect you DO need to be shown the correct way to use it.
PS. I had to repair my dad's TENS unit, and despite their vain attempt at blocking out the chip identity, I recognized it as a "555 timer" (a VERY cheap chip used for oscillators/timers) driving a small transformer, the classic "shocking coil" configuration - very expensive for what it is!

I'll keep all this in mind. I have to follow up with a Doc and an MRI. I'll ask about it. I had one disc removed from my lower back in '91, and they left another herniated one alone. I have problems with it now and again.they just need to watch and make sure it doesn't get out of hand. I had a torn rotator cuff then, and they used to use some kind of electric shock therapy on it. It felt like thousands of needles going in and they had to turn it up so high it made my skin bleed.
Oh well. Making bread and sauce now and getting ready for the golf course. I'll be in and out of here awhile.
