I've just had an opportunity to chat with Áine, who wants you all to know she is doing a tad better, in this wise: she can now sit in her wheelchair without screaming. She actually made a couple of jokes and was willing to laugh without collapsing in tears/

Now, to what does she owe this remarkable improvement? Her report is that the thing that "turned her around", so to speak, was taking off her knickers. She said exlicitly that she was wearing her NEW nightgown and NO knickers. For one thing this makes it significantly easier to handle the consequences of drinking a lot of water, as instructed.

The conversation of course immediately centered on this interest phenomenological item, and we wondered whether the removal of knickers was a systemic enabler, in some way that has hitherto been roundly missed by medical science, or whether it was particular to back and muscular problems.

I am incluned to support the former theory, since it seems that for most poeple ninety per cent of well being is centered around those parts of the nervous systems to which knickers appertain. If they (kncikers) act as an arbitrary barrier to the normal and natural interaction of these parts of the nervous system with symbiotic elements in the environment, it would make sense that removing such a barrier would facilitate nature's own healing processes, so to speak...

However, her statement should be examined carefully for indications of system-wide applicability.

The Goddess reports, "Ever since I have taken off my knickers, I have been feeling b etter!! And, I have a witness!!"

This is extremely gratifying since it lends an atmosphere of objectivity and measurability to the report.

She goes on, "In fact, since I have taken off my knickers, Hubby and I are both feeling better! " (No further explanation was offered on this anomalous observation).

" So I would say, from my experience, that knickerlessness is the "way to go", pardon the expression."

I would appreciate any scientific observations available from Catters with similar experiences as to the systemic impact of knickerlessness and whether it is a local or global facilitation of relief of affect.

What do you think??

Regards,

Amos

Amos, sorry mate but the thought of the Red head GG from Texas going "commando" is, possibly, just a tad more than Flesh and blood, and an overstrained imagination can handle!!.and do we get a pic in next years calender? but why the Excessive Hydrotherapy???? doesnt she know what fish do in water?!?!?

I'm sure the bearded red suited gentleman of the North has been misnamed for years. Is he not Saint Knickerless? Maybe that is the reason for his cheerfulness and gift giving propensity.

I am glad she is feeling B. Etter. I hope Mr. Etter is enjoying it as well.

Since we are speaking delicately of unmentionables, may I mention something indelicately which may be related (however loosely). There are certain operations one simply cannot perform effectively for oneself when one's back is out, without the aid of a long-handled brush. The nice people at Rubbermaid have created one you can purchase confidently and without embarrassment, and they have been so kind as to label it as a Refrigerator Coil brush so that no one will be the wiser. Wise consumers will call ahead to be sure the local hardware store has not stocked an inappropriate substitute, and settle for only the Real Thing.

I suppose some will prefer to purchase it online:

G156-12 Refrigerator Coil Brush, listed (with photo) under Housewares Cleaning, Scrub Brushes.

This amazing and versatile brush can be bent to any shape one desires, and I do encourage the use of one's imagination when contemplating same. For best use it is recommended to run the brush under hot tap water BEFORE USE to flex those bristles, but of course this is strictly optional.

An adapted purse-size model is available from me, for private purchase.

Micca, you are simply incorrigible, and anyone imagining they could corrugate you should give it up right now!!

Now, Wyzzy wouldn't a simple Toilet Brush with Container Stand serve? Or am I missing the point here?

She'll be delighted she has stirred up such a spirited debate on the scientific aspects of the question as soon as that starts to be the case....

No!!! It will NOT serve! Do you want DETAILS or will you take my word for this ONE THING??????

LOL! Aw I miss you, Big Guy!

Going 'commando' is actually the only way to be when recovering from surgery... it isn't the dropping them that's the problem, it's the raising them afterwards that catches you in those awkward places, especially after a caesearean....

Well, I've never had a back spasm or injury as serious as this one, but when my back muscles act up, pressure from clothing does tend to interfere with the attempt to relax them. Thus, I'm not surprised that dropping the drawers promotes healing in Áine's case.

Thanks for filling us in, Amos.

Congratulations Aine and welcome to the Breezy Bottom Club. I quit wearing u-trou and socks a long time ago........Actually, it started when my back was bad and before I had the laminectomy. After that operation, I could have gone back, but once the parts were dangling and airing out, there was just no way to return. Every now and then "propriety," of which I have very little, demands that one wear socks and/or underwear, but I try to avoid it like the plague. No matter what style of underwear or how they fit, the damn things are alwyas causing some kind of bind on my gonads or wedged up my ass and I just don't feature it!

On a slightly different story line, I called Connie the other day to check on some things for this weekend. One of the great things about portable phones is you can be almost anywhere, so I sat down on the crapper and proceeded to take a dump. Now, I'm talking to Connie and it sounds like she's in a cave or something and after a couple minutes, I asked, "Where the hell are you? In a cave or something?" She laughed and sheepishly said she was in the shower. So I told her what I was up to and we both had a laugh.....A nice "family" moment, however she thought she was a lot better off in a bathroom 35 miles away!

Oh how sweet, a family dump..... Spaw, why do you think cordless were invented?

Going 'commando' in trousers is OK, but skirts?? There's always those unexpected breezes that get right up your nose..... as it were.... ever worn a kilt Spaw??

Call me insecure, but I do like an nice snug bum. That's why you'll never see me wearing one of those black lace cheesecutters, or (to drag it back to music) just a thong at thigh height.

And to link to another thread - you know you are fat, when you fill the legs of you french knickers!

Geez, Susan.

27 inches long and 1½ in diameter? I do like the yellow handle.

OK I've had back problems for years. I've got my knickers off and I'm standing facing the screen.

Now what do I do?

Mrs P once told me my voice is much clearer when I'm deshabillé. I've no idea what she was talking about.

rr, you bend the brush section to suit your individual situation-- customized, see? Angle, length, amount of curvature-- hey, like Emeril says, "happy, happy, happy!".

If you are using the onscreen version I suppose (and now it's a music thread) then you just Back Up and Push.

Sheeshe. Earth people-- gotta love 'em!
