ow ow ow

Well, crap. Forget about lugging around 50 pound bags of salt from now on. It didn't seem to be a big deal at the time but now, some hours later, the friggin' tennis elbow has flared up and my arm hurts from wrist to shoulder.

Age just sucks some days.

Will need to have DS3 carry the spitted chickkie out to the grill for me as I don't think I can lift even that little 5 pound weight. Argh. $#)%$(#!&@!)%_#)%#)($!(*@!(*!$&)$#%

Replace "salt" with "ice maker" and you have my life last weekend. And they say we're the most highly evolved of the species. HA! Hope you're feeling better.

Things just fall apart, don't they?

Hope your capsaicin and lidocaine stuff works, too.

Yeah - with the brain being the first to go.

You might be able to use the zostrix on your elbows. I'd try a small bit first just to be sure. I'm used to capsaicin because I've been using it on my back for years. Regardless, I've not built up the tolerance they claim one builds up. Maybe I'm too sensitive, though. - eileen

I have noticed my brain seems to be floppy a lot of the time. Rats.

Will see if I can find some zostrix. Darned thing is all swelled up and hot. Will try ice for a little while, too.


Stop the Spying!

About Me

A hobby cook from the Midwest. Experiments, thoughts, new recipes, maybe even a photo or two... You noticed the pouting little girl with the words superimposed over her face? Growing up in the 60s and 70s the refrain of "there are starving children in [insert current poverty-stricken nation] that would love to have such... etc etc etc." I don't know that anyone actually believed all that but the image of a starving foreign child, holding out a bowl in hopes of being gifted with boiled tongue or green tomato pie, was pretty powerful. I do recall the kind of trouble kids would inevitably be in if they dared to say what most of us thought: "Well, then, send this stuff right on over to those poor, starving [insert country] kids." I don't usually post other people's photos, just my own. If you want to borrow or use one of my photos, I would appreciate your asking first. I usually don't mind but do hate having my work attributed to someone else. By the way, I found the photo of that pouting girl on the web with no attribution. If it's yours? We'll deal, ok? Thanks.
