I haven't worked on instruments for almost 2 years now since the pain in my elbows (its very hard to play mandolin or cello anymore). Bextra worked miraculously but after I found out it was the same as the banned Vioxx I discontinued it. 6 weeks later I had an attack of High Blood Pressure that soared to 200. For about 30 hours I could hardly control it. Self hypnosis helped along with a lifetime of migraine which probably toughened up my brains vasulature.

Life is like a water balloon, squeeze it here and it bulges there...
which reminds me I am illustrating some of your (personally invented) favorite sayings from the thread that still appears on this page.

Be that as it may, here in DC we have over 5,000 extremely wounded troops warehoused at Walter Reed and elsewhere. Since shrub won't visit them I feel compelled to do a DC poster devoted to these people.
