Now I gotcha. Yes, they were actually pretty good about it considering what the JAG office was suggesting. I can’t complain a bit other than having not been able to do 20 or so. All in all, I probably couldn’t have anyway given the state of things at that point.

Chiorpractors come in all flavors, I think the better ones are as you describe and more like a physical trainer/therapy specialist.

Take care, and I’m glad it just took some candy to fix you up. A bad back is, bad.

Regards friend

….I meant that you got in and later, when the found you out, they didn’t do lots of mean-spirited things to you.

Tylenol, a.k.a., Ranger-Candy, seems to have solved the back issue.

As for the ‘beatings’ at the hands of a chiropractor you comment on, don’t know where you got that from. Mine doesn’t run a torture chamber. But then again considering the lack of a good nights sleep from a sore back, I can imagine your friend MIGHT want to get some good sleep after a ‘back-crack’.

Or maybe I’ve got a masochistic streak I was unaware of.

I don’t know about paying someone to beat the h**l out of me. I have a friend who swears by chiorpractors but stays in bed more to recover from his vists to one than from the problems he goes for.

Last but not least, if you’re going to tend your garden that way, please don’t buy one of those #%*$&& conical hats that are now hip among college kids.

Take care of your back!

IMPRESSIVE!

P.S. I blew my right knee out stepping into a badger hole on an operation. My back problems began LAST year, at the same point my rucksack rested while humping the bush until I got to the point where I rated my own jeep.

All I was doing was bending over and twisting to put a canister of chocolate back on the lower shelf in the food-store room. I’d just extracted the chocolate I needed to make a birthday cake for my mother-in-law. And when I tried to stand up……BANG!!!!! I couldn’t…..

Fortunately, it was correctable by a visit to a chiropractor. My first such ever…..

May have to visit her again. Got a bit of discomfort going on now from doing the ‘gook-squat’ while tending a gardening project my garden club maintains for the city.

I enlisted in late 1968 after signing a waiver for the cause of my 4F. There followed a more extensive medical examination which found I was still unfit for military service due to a spinal deformity. I “lost” my draft card and reported to Paris Island where I suffered no small measure of verbal abuse for not having it. I served in Vietnam from late 1969 until the late summer of 1970 when I was wounded. I was in and out of hospitals and rehab for four years, being released from limited duty to full duty in the winter of 1974.

Just after New Years in 1975 I was being considered for an assignment and when my record was being reviewed, it was determined that I was guilty of fraud on my paperwork. I had not only the medical problem the medical records from my more extensive examination had found, but a chronic pain disorder that had been diagnosed in my childhood and that I should have enumerated on my paperwork at Paris Island. This placed the Men’s Department of the US Navy in something of a quandary, one they resolved by refusing my reenlistment making errors on my record moot.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

have a nice day

Just because we want the Rolex Rebels of northern Tehran crack the Iraian regime, doesn’t mean it is good for the majority of Iranians, and they will idly stand by and accept it. Minority getting to rule the majority is what it was in Iraq (during American supported Saddam Regime), it is the case in Lebanon, and now we want it in Iran.

The quiet majority in Iran have neither access to Internet, nor Cell phones, or have time to protest in the streets under the carnival atmosphere that Western Media cheerfully broadcasts. But be advised that these are the same people that shouldered the burden of 8 yrs of war with America’s Saddam with 1 million dead, and they will do so again to protect their rights. They are fiercely nationalistic and believe in Nuclear power; after 8 years of war, they have every right to do so.

….and I mean EVERYONE is involved in the War on Terror….

….whether they like/admit to it, or not.

Exactly, too young for vietnam, too old for the war on terror. — Derek

…..not exactly.

I enlisted in 1970.

And what did YOU do during the Great Cold War, Derek?

I suspect that I was jumping C130s before your father learned how to jump a prom date.

P.S. Are ALWAYS this ’stupid’?

Wrong, No I was not too young for Vietnam and maybe too old for the war against terror and Isamofacism. Depends on your definition of old.
By the way, I have had two spinal fusions, eight shoulder surgeries and I would still be willing to go and leave my family behind to serve my country. By the way, thanks for asking, My pair is just fine and they would go with me.

What are you, a grenada veteran?
