Sounds pretty cool - I've never been there - is it hot there right now? (and I don't mean the women) 
Following pulling a muscle in the lower right side of my back on August 28, my hip and right leg have not stopped hurting. I was sick today after taking too much hydrocodone and wondering whether to have myself checked for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome or just screw the whole thing. Extremely tired of it.
If it keeps up another day, do check in. While I can understand the feeling, I think I speak for all of us when I say we'd rather you didn't screw the whole thing.
Tomorrow is my (real) birthday! (Not the pretend one I sometimes claim to, which happens to be the day I strained my back!) I am scheduled for acupuncture, which I have never had, at noon. If it doesn't work I resign myself to ignominy and death.
Acupuncture has a good record for that kind of pain. I hope it works for you. Stay with us, please.
Wishing you a Happy Birthday and many healing vibes.
Happy birthday have a great day
I wasn't very nice to my coworker today. I was just frustrated that she clocked out early and left me alone because of circumstances that couldn't be helped. Sometimes instead of reacting negatively, I just won't say anything to avoid conflict. Then she keeps repeating herself because she thinks I didn't hear her or she's looking for approval.
Just do something nice for her tomorrow - it'll make you feel better and make it right with the universe. co-workers are like pesky family members. My co-worker is almost 80. She wont' retire - she looks amazing - you'd never think she's over 70. I have to bite my tongue all the time. But I love her. Somebody drag me out of my office if I'm still working at 80 though. I want to retire by 52. I've got so many things I want to do besides work.
I didn't notice the date was passed by the time I replied.You'll make it next September 19th.
Sadly I let West's birthday go by without comment.
Did you make it this year [U]CoriSCapnSkip[/U] ?
Anyway, submitted for your approval, as Rod Serling used to say.
I've never been to the Wayne Mansion. Wayne has an extensive library. He also has a bat cave under his house. That was an urban myth that George Reeves jumped out of a window because he thought he was Superman. Reeves was an actor. I did read somewhere that he did end up thinking he was Superman. I met Adam West and got his autograph. I also saw the original Batmobile when it toured around shopping malls around 1980. When I was a boy of about five or six, I used to walk around the street with a Batman mask on and a Batman costume. I don't where the costume anymore.

I actually did not but was in Walla Walla Tuesday and noticed a bat symbol on Whitman Tower and wondered if it had been there all year or was just put up recently.
For me, this is personal to write about but maybe I will take a chance. This time in September many years ago my father passed away.
On the 29th September everything changed for me, his death chattered my world and I feel this empty space in my chest that never stops hurting, an ache that just doesn't stop. Yes, he was my father but he was my best friend, my mentor, my confidante too. He meant more to me than I can explain, he was such a good listener and always seemed to know the right thing to say and more importantly, when to say nothing -- just listen. He lives on through my daughters. My youngest has his height and his eyes, my oldest has that edge to her personality -- the attribute you respect in one who says little but when she does you listen.
I hope he rests peacefully. He was a great Dad. And I thank him for all he taught me.
I took a chance writing this but you are good people and thought you would understand. For me, it needed to be said and I cannot think of any other place I would rather write it. And you know, it must be the right thing to do because the tears are streaming down my face and the relief of saying it just feels better.
It may be only 7 am but I think I need to go for a walk now.
Thanks for reading, thanks for listening and most of all thanks to each and every one of you for just being you. I am so lucky to have met you, and its a privilege to call you my friends.

(((Sandy))) Lovely tribute to your dad.
The loss of a parent, especially one who was such an important and close part of ones life tugs at the heart with each passing anniversary. Fill that empty space with every positive memory there is from your life with your dad. Fill it with joyful times. Think about all the skills he gave to you to raise your children with love. KNow he watches over and still guides you in many ways. May that walk ease some of your pain. Feel the hugs of this Ka_Tet. Know we are here-- always.
My heart aches for you too. I know this pain. I know this longing to talk to them. The split second when you think, I need to call _______ and realize they aren't there to answer anymore. It is an anxious gnawing creature that overwhelms a person.
Richard Chizmar of Cemetery Dance back in 2009? 2010? wrote this beautiful piece about loss and grieving after he lost his father -- I wish I could find it again to share with you.
Honor your dad by living your best life, working hard, playing hard, laughing, loving and giving out to the world the energy you want back.
Beautifully written. Such great things about your dad.
