Now it is the shoulder

Absolutely unbelievable....when my hands were still in bandages from thumb surgery, I picked up a latex stretch band that had been around for years and while carrying it from room to room, I wrapped it around my shoulders and pulled it tight in front of my arms and was thinking that maybe I would start doing some resistance band exercising if I kept it near the desk. The next day I felt sore in the upper arm and when I went to the thumb doctor for post op follow-up app't I asked him about the area where I was having the pain my upper shoulder.
Weeeeeellllll...it got worse every day and worse and worse...even tho I was 'babying' it.
I have since been to the shoulder specialist in P'cola and then had a MRI yesterday here in Gulf Shores. I didn't even ask how much it is going to cost me, I have been in agony.

I pick up the MRI results on Monday on CD to take w/ me on Thurs (I think it is, got to look it up) back to the shoulder doctor. I suppose I will have to have surgery, it hurts that bad.

Now here is the amazing part...MY BODY GOT MAGNETIZED OR SOMETHING,....
the Imaging Center where I got the MRI is right behind W-M so I ran into the store for a couple of items. I went in the garden center entrance, as I always do and set the doorway alarms off. The manager of that dept just happened to be standing nearby, I said "Roger, how come I am setting off the alarm, ?" His reply "it is probably your cell phone'..wrong...it was my BODY !!!

When I exited, I set it off again and they wanted to see my receipt (Roger, who knows me wasn't around), and no matter what I did, the alarm went off. I had on no metal, no watch (still in purse from MRI), no earrings, etc...and I pushed the cart w/ my purse in it on thru the doorway, and still every time I moved back and forth the alarm went on-off-on-off. The W-M employees were amazed.

So you know that stuff about magnets curing your ills? Magnets in your shoes or blanket, etc... well, I should be damn near perfect now.

Color Change Paint Job

Image
I spotted another car with one of those awesome paint jobs that change colors are you drive past. I used to see one with a different set of hues parked in from of a local vinyl liner pool company here in Gulf Shores. This is what I'd like on my VW Thing, but I want coral and peach shades so it look like a woman's fingernail polish rack at the nail salon. Anyone know anything about this type of paint job ? What is it called ? What's it cost. Where do you go to get it ?

Class distinctions and social networking sites

Interesting read: An excerpt: A month ago, the military banned MySpace but not Facebook. This was a very interesting move because the division in the military reflects the division in high schools. Soldiers are on MySpace; officers are on Facebook. Facebook is extremely popular in the military, but it's not the SNS of choice for 18-year old soldiers, a group that is primarily from poorer, less educated communities. They are using MySpace. The officers, many of whom have already received college training, are using Facebook. The military ban appears to replicate the class divisions that exist throughout the military. I can't help but wonder if the reason for this goes beyond the purported concerns that those in the military are leaking information or spending too much time online or soaking up too much bandwidth with their MySpace usage.

Is It Just ME?

Two odd phrases keep popping up in print that just seem weird to me. Here is one: "I am absolutely appalled that another computer containing the personal information of veterans has gone missing ," said Sen. Rick Santorum, a Pennsylvania Republican. Why not say "is missing" ? Doesn't "has gone" imply some action on the part of the computer? And our local newspaper recently had headlines that said: "City looks to buy land on Ft. Morgan Road" Is "looks to buy" an accepted English phrase for "considers" or similar? Maybe it is, but both of those phrases sound rather like Granny Clampett to me. Your opinion?
