A Birthday Rant

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45940) • United States 30 Jul 07

What do you use WD 40 for?

Heather Echola @GardenGerty (160665) • United States 9 Jan 07

I have heard for years that it is beneficial to apply to sore joints. Have you had any experience with it, in this way? I understand it is made with fish oil.

beachcomber07 Seems to me that they would want to do that surgery on a younger person. You are right now is when you need them to work not when you are old enough to retire anyway. I would try to find a different doctor if it was me. Good luck.

sudden drop in temperature

perrygunight @perrygunight (555) • United States 3 Apr 07

Has a sudden drop in temperature from summery to freezing ever made you get aches and pains all over? I usually get them in my knees, but this time my hands, fingers, and feet are aching, and I've had short bits of pain in arms...

body aches

beachcomber07 The pain is caused by the change in the weather. I ache all over when it happens and have learned that a hot beth helps and I also take over the counter pain meds that help. When my hands hurt I put them in real warm water and that helps.

beachcomber07 He gets his bath and is clean and that is the important part and you don't have a fight on your hands. Sometimes you just have to do things the way the kids want to.
