Great advice! Walking bone on bone grinds it down and it just gets worse with time. I waited 3y after my injury and was sorry. I'm thrilled with...

You continue to refuse known and well-documented treatment for problems. The fact that you refuse and prefer the suffering never ceases to amaze me.

You have known for quite some time you need knee replacements. Ignoring those can create most of the other issues with your hips and back. And...

Fly. We cannot put a hold on life because idiots will not negotiate. You could be waiting forever more...........

Every Note Played. An excellent read.

Date of purchase on my monthly grid. We pay bills in full monthly-no debt so it's not like we need to "save up" to pay. It just makes life easier....

I'm ready for a change and new/exciting possibilities with a new company.

You know yourself best.:) Sounds like for you, the key is to keep going as you have committed to here.

EJ: Here's a new tactic. Pick up an item. Will you use it? If yes, where will you look for it? Take it there immediately. If you won't use it,...
