I don’t know what to do with myself.

Amber @AmbiePam (95623) • United States 31 Jan

Last night I didn’t sleep at all, and the previous two nights I slept only two. My back (car accident decades ago) and legs are just killing me. I really don’t know what to do with myself. I took a prescription anti-inflammatory,...

MARILYN I'm sorry you are suffering so much Amber and wish I could offer a solution to help ease the pain. Sadly I don't have any ideas other than everything you've already tried.

Found It

Jim Bauer @porwest (95308) • United States 29 Jan

Whenever my wife and I travel, or there is a large expense to put out, I like to be as creative as possible in determining how it will be paid for. 9 times out of 10, it's the stock market that comes home to deliver the goods. I...

MARILYN Glad you won the battle and got Georges Stoma site cleaned. All in all it's probably not something either of you to do or have done even though it's necessary. Hope George enjoys some outside time.
