oooh I may buy it even so! I am on the third book now...just a few chapters left...and will order the fourth today so I have it while driving down south in two weeks for our mountain bike race....so if I do...we can pass it about! I have not seen it either - my dd has and she was not impressed...but kinda hard to make a movie about vampires/werewolfs unless you are Ron Howard or Steven Speilberg....so I am not hoping for too much...loved the books though..such easy reading and print is good for these old eyes!

btw...my daughter was talking about some new book in the making that goes to the series! isnt that exciting! will try and find out what the name is and all.

Dang it. One other thing, the other day I got a brace for my elbow in the mail.  I have tennis elbow if I have not already whined about that.

Anyway, in the package was a sample of "Ibunex" a topical ibuprofen .  You can find it if you do a search for core products laboratories.  I called my pharmacy to see if topical ibuprofen exists, they said "no".  However this stuff worked !  I do not know if it is safe for the environment, or my skin or anything else, but at tihs point in my pain I COULD CARE LESS !  I used the sample and in two days feel better than I have with two rounds of physical therapy, and two cortizone shots !!!  No pain reliever has ever worked or helped (ibuprofen/aleeve/tylenol)........ but this stuff I rubbed on adn I have relief in no time !
Now it may be cow crap dipped in rat crap..........and then lightly scented........  but i just ordered a bottle of it 24.00 or two ounces .  Lots of $$ but I am so happy I am not hurting.  I'll let you know if my arm falls off or the like ! lol
I'll be the guini (sp?) pig for the group............ but so far it's wonderful (and um I am a stay at home mom, so I'm not plugging some company I work for) !lol

Offthegrid - 2009-03-04 1:06 PM have you looked into trigger points at all? They probably would be in your upper arm, shoulder or back. I'm not an expert on upper body TPs. I know it's a long shot, but *nothing else* worked for my feet, and today my left side seems about totally cleared up, and the right is doing so much better. I plan to begin (very cautiously) jogging toward the end of the month. TP are known for causing pain in joins that are often labeled tendonitis, etc. Can't hurt. (well, actually, it does, but what I guess I mean is that it can't make it worse, right?) If I get my Trigger Point book back, I can look it up for you.

thank goodness. this third one has taken me the longest to get thru! did you order the dvd? or should I?

Offthegrid - 2009-03-04 1:38 PM it's a rental in my mind. I'm not blowing $33 on it! That's almost a tire.

maxmansmom - 2009-03-04 1:20 PM

While I sit here I get the most unwanted gift a woman could ever get (sorry Dan and Scott)...... are you freaking kidding me ?  An entire week early and just a few days before my tri I get .....my period !!! DAMMIT

I missed The Biggest Loser last night .. but from the COJ thread, sounds like all I missed was frustration from viewers.

MDHillSlug - 2009-03-04 6:56 PM So much going on here today! I was busy all day hanging out with my son on the University of Maryland campus. He was there to interview for a full academic scholarship; he's already qualified for about a half ride. He's been accepted to the honor program and to a special program within the honor program. I was greatly impressed by the whole program. UMD is not his first choice, in part because it's so close to home. Hopefully he was also impressed and understands how much of a plus it is to get through college with little to no debt. He is such a smart kid and I'm so impressed that he's being recognized for it. I'm a very proud parent!

NoSit - 2009-03-04 5:18 PM You'd fit right in out here in aggie-land, Julie! I've quit noticing the hairy armpits, let alone legs! And the Birks (-enstocks, that is)! Oh boy. We're a bunch of wannabe-Berkers (that's people from Berkeley, CA). Trish
