It's configured wrong and that's bothering me...

Got two bulging discs 5 years ago (L4/L5). Have impingement on my femoral and syatic nerves.

I ride a desk for work and do hobby farming to stay active outside of work, and work part time as a first responder (EMS)

I have a cane for bad days, and meloxicam for really bad days/weeks.

Doing CPR sucks, running sucks, basically most excersises suck. I can't pick up my kids as much as I'd like, and I am having a hard time convincing my wife to let me try bull riding... doing to much gives me nerve shocks down both legs from by butt down to my heels.

But, I push through and try to stay active.

I've done physical therapy twice, both times made it worse. Tried a chiropractor, each visit would give me about 45-60 minutes of relief after the procedure.

Long car rides are about the worst. I'll be bent over almost double getting out. During isn't bad, it's the straitening out afterwards.

I've had good luck using permethrin as a bug repellant instead of a clothing treatment.

It's getting harder and harder to make things smaller, but they are making things thinner now, which means they can layer them, thus increasing density.

Just to clear the air, the objection tends to be on the grounds that certain medicines/vaccines are tested on stem cells harvested from an aborted baby. While there are other objections, this is the most common one I have run into.

If these individuals are consistent in their objections (avoid tylonel, Advil, and any other meds tested in these stem cells) Then I believe we should respect their religious convictions. But, consistentcy is key here, you can't pick and choose.

We either believe that people have the right to have different beliefs than others, or we don't. We also can't be inconsistent with that ideology. But we can absolutely challenge them when being inconsistent, i.e., if one religious symbol is allowed, any competing ones that someone desires to place must also be allowed.

Depends on the server. I rarely am over there, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't

PIA was bought out and is currently owned by an ad company.

Have you seen the old reddit foot eating thread?

It's also service specific. Air force calls it an AFSC instead of MOS.
