Bingo: Thank you. As far as I know, Pru is not addicted. But you can just never tell with kittens.

Schliessfach: Was your curvy “spinde” your favorite part BEFORE you got dropped on your head or after? Because it does make a difference.

If you can do upside-down letters, I take my hat off to you and admit defeat. I should really think of a name for mine—we are just that intimate. I was dropped on my head too but even before that I was born with a curvy spinde. It was my favorite part.

I hope you are feeling better and Pru is not addict to the ten units:)

Jen: Hmmm. Is this neighbor boy available? We have some noisy dogs in our neighborhood. Yes, I’m always grateful when I receive an award, but there are many, many other bloggers out there who deserve recognition. Let’s recognize them!

Patty: YES! I totally wore a Milwaukee brace for four years. I was never told about the trigeminal nerve, but then I have no history of herpes zoster (EW!), so hopefully I’m OK. Thanks for the warning.

Another post on this subject, but I saw you have scoliosis as well–I had surgery for it when I was in my teens. Did you do the brace as a child? Mine could attract the fuzzy television stations: “Move a little to the right, we want to watch The Snorks!”

And mine warns not to place it ‘on or near the trigeminal nerve if you have a history of herpes zoster induced trigeminal neuralgia.’

So uh…don’t do that if you have that, okay? We worry about you.

We have a neighbor boy we test things like that on. As a test patient we learned that even though the dog does not react to the barking collar it is still sending off a powerful charge and the neighbor boy will never bark again.

Thanks for listing the many blogs you listed. They are all great blogs and worthy of an award. Also, thanks for not giving me one since I rebel against them as much as you, though I am completely flattered, and somewhat perplexed, when I do get one.

natural: HA! I knew it. And kudos to your observational powers. Yes, I pride myself on always trying to use the exact spelling of whatever name is provided, no matter how kooky the style may be. If you can do upside-down letters, I take my hat off to you and admit defeat. Ah, yes. I remember when Advil used to work for me. I hope it continues to work, along with your TENS. dcr: Uh oh. And here I don't even know what a Cylon is! Is it a Star Trek thing? Honestly, I don't think my spine really glows, but then I've never looked at it in the dark. JC: Oh, but it is very pleasant! Pru may not think so, but I do. And thank you. It was a nice award to receive.

Well, thanks so much for getting zap so I don’t have to. It doesn’t sound pleasant. Congrats on the new award, well deserved.

OMG. You’re a Cylon! Shouldn’t have put up a picture of your red glowing spine and no one would ever have known. Okay, no one else but me noticed anyway, but now the word is out. You’ve been exposed as a toaster!

But now your Vicodin comment makes sense…

oh, sorry about your back sister. if you have to take pills and the TENS, that must be bad. i do have days of relief and don’t have to pop pills often. advil works for me.
