When It Rains

Had a crappy day? Think your only friend is the dog? Got fired? Someone piss in your Wheaties? Just need to blow off some steam and rant? Here's the place to do it. No judgement, maybe some sympathy, possibly some advice... but definitely a safe place to go off on the world.

And you're going for a brand with good support. Smart!

I had back troubles in my early 20's. One incident like you are describing--laid out for 4 days. After that I started seeing an Osteopath, and had a series of manipulative therapy. I started feeling better right away and after diligiently doing floor exercises he prescribed for a couple year, I have had minimal trouble since.

Hey.... the boots are Clarks... both are excellent in the way of support! I don’t wear heels any more (well... nothing over about an inch and a half) because of foot issues. But I swear, all I did was let the dogs in that night!

And CM... yes... snail mail... welcome to Tri-Care... LOL

Too many shoes? What does that mean? Does not compute.

I'm living with another datapoint and Ms. Gethen has just given her response.

Lacking opposing evidence I stand by my hypothesis.

I do like girls.

Does that mean I'm a lesbian trapped in the body of a heterosexual male? :confused:
