»» the sort of stuff that chiropractors do, except they are also real doctors and aren't going to tell you that aligning your spine will cure your cancer or other such bullsh*t.
—Conservative Crank

Don't want to argue medical approaches, but, I would never recommend a regular chiro. I do recommend upper cervical adjustment (if you need it) as done by Dr Brooks in Tulsa. Simple, gentle, effective, and, once it "takes," permanently effective, or at least it was for our many family members who have been to him.

Mrs Webworker had this (NUCCA) recommended to her by her med pro sister ("nurse" doesn't quite cover it). Went first to a quack who was trained by Brooks (we later discover) but "Christ" revealed to him a better way... thank Christ that jerk did no lasting damage to her. After that, we found the real deal. A lifetime of migraines (the Mrs's; I had other probs) eradicated forever convinced me.

Carol: NUCCA - it's the sound Curly the Stooge made while doing that thing with his fingers.

It's a specific, specialized type of chiropracty, much despised by many regular chiro docs because it actually works, and m/l permanently, which makes the regular chiros and their next-appointment industry look even worse than their already poor reputation.

Involves the gentle (hardly feel it) re-seating of the Atlas bone, the "free-floating" top vertabra that holds up the head, to a position where it is not pressing on the spinal cord. A tiny action with a universe of relief. If you needed it.

I should put all this on a web page so I can just say, look here. Sorry for the lecture length.

Take all recommendations at your own risk; I am not worth suing.

Four a.m. I wake, know it's early, roll over to go back to sleep, when...

A huge coyote howl goes up. We have woods or river on three sides, hear them all the time. Maybe out was just the quiet of the hour, but they sounded closer than I've ever heard them, sounded like a whole lot of them, and a really lot (rough estimates) of pups. Went on for quite a while.

Naturally, when Defender Dog woke to the ruckus, he began running around the house barking. Even pawed at the door, which he usually never does.

From bed, I just told him what a good dog he is. Don't usually encourage the barking, but I'm glad to let the coyotes know he's here. Dog finally settled back on his bed, but kept barking with practically every breath, until it became a quiet little arf, then finally stopped. Good dog.

So, if the coyotes are thriving, I'm wondering if maybe I ought to start thinking about maybe arming up. What do you think? I'm not speaking metaphorically. But I could be.

I wonder how many comments in a row I can make right now.

And how many it would take to get banhammered.

And whether I can reach that number alone...

Since I posted half an hour ago, I've read the first 500 posts on the thread and have seen 6 new comments.

Any grand highlights? I only read some of the 300s before zoning out last night.

hi.

Carol, a NUCCA-certified upper cervical adjustment might help. Best such Dr in the world is in Tulsa, but there are others. If I've suggested this before, apologies. Milady & I both were greatly aided by this, she having decades of pain ended, so I try to pay that forward.

FTR NB: I am not a doctor but I have played one on teevee. Okay, not really even that.

I never could find the kitty in the top picture.

Also, what were that ONT provision, perzackly?

Or was provisional a "typo"? Provision, perversion, tomato, staccato...

I should get out of my cell and go do things. Quick! Someone start a fascinating blog-burning discussion so I can sit around some more, reading, instead.

Sitting here looking at an article on CNS, c/o Drudge, saying Hairy Reed lying that he lied about those hurt by Obamacare being liars.

Someone should write a book about the Democretin deceptions, something like Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them. If some Dem hasn't already used that title in a fit of self-projection...

There wasn't much for a blind man to do but beg in those days. Josiah, at least, had a good high-traffic spot near the healing pool.

Blind from birth, Josiah didn't complain about his lot. Could be worse. At least he didn't have leprosy.

One day, Josiah overheard some strangers talking nearby, one saying he proposed to use Josiah. Suddenly, there was mud on his eyelids. WTF, thought Josiah? That's spit!

He got up, stumbled down the steps to the pool, washed off the mud, and discovered he could, for the first time in his life, see!

He didn't ask for it. He didn't know who his benefactor had been. He didn't even know what to do, so, at first, he went back to his usual begging spot, but folks pretty quickly took note that the old blind guy could see. Word got around, and the authorities heard about it.

And he gave great testimony.

MwnP, I've asked before, too, after fatfingering an ad link. Somehow I doubt merely clicking through could profit much, but I really have no idea how it works, so I can make up whatever.

D'ja ever think about all the hits Ace must be getting when folks are waiting for the morning thread? Not that I have compulsive reloading syndrome or anything...

pitch, porch, always start the day with an error, so you don't spend the day wondering when you're first going to f up.

Also, that new car? Spill a coke on the seats and take a ball peen to the body. Saves worry.

Okay, I'll let you go out, but please don't stand on the pitch and bark.

He must have understood me. 'cause he went 'way out in the yard to bark.

Good dog.

It's almost morning on the middle of America.

How ya doin'? 'Excuse me... now he's barking on the porch.
