Hi LB, We were posting at pretty much the same time! I can't read your post right now. Got to get ready to leave but I will later.

ALL

LB...I'm so sorry about your nephew if he's going back to drinking.  I'm guessing it's to no avail to make anyone give up anything they're addicted to...He's 32 and your brother can't make him stop if he doesn't want to for himself...I'm sure he's probably threatened to kick him out, but how do you do that, especially to a son or daughter??. If he doesn't work, he won't be able to buy the liquor.  I'm also sure your brother isn't buying it for him.  Very difficult situation, I'm sure.

Did you get your brakes today?

Paulie..My chiropractor is thinking if the problem doesn't go away, it may be a lymph gland infection or virus in my neck to which I'd need an antibiotic  The thing is, somedays it doesn't feel as bad as others.

LB, Very sad about your nephew .. frustrating for you and your family wanting the best for him. The fact you were speaking with him after his mother's death shows him you were trying to help. He has to recognize the situations he's using as a crutch and excuse to justify his drinking. And he has to want to stop to help himself. I hope for his sake and your family's sake he reaches that point some day. I just said a prayer for him.

jicaji, Thanks for explaining your chiropractor's suggestion for blood work. It's worth a try and if so to an infection then an antibiotic healing is worth it for sure to be rid of it. I'm very glad that terrible pain is gone for you.

Gracie's hockey game was lots of fun and enjoyment watching her today. This is her 3rd year playing. She's really good. She scored twice too. When the action would really get moving on the ice and I lost sight of her or # on her jersey all I had to do was look for her blonde pony tail below her helmet. She's the only girl on the team. Lol

I decided not to go to cabin tomorrow. I had a long post explaining more last night but after I posted it I realized I had been rambling on about things so deleted it for a shorter version. Shorter is better. 

After all of the above normal temps we had here last month March so far is below normal temps. Geesh it's cold!

Well I hope you're both cozied in warm and relaxing.

Oops. Had to come back. Forgot the quote. #3

[paulie]

Good Morning,

LB, I didn't know you were a hockey fan.  Your watching intervention shows exhibits that you care and want to help.

About the rents being lowered. I saw a segment about it on GMA. It said nationally but did not mention specific states.
I wish you didn't have the pressure and worry about staying or finding a new place.

Hi jicaji

Yes I like hockey dont watch it though on tv. LOL I have been to a few games. They are fun to watch 
On local news today NYC rents are going up again this year. Average rent in city about $4000. meadan $5200?  No sign of them lowering either. But thats the city but I am sure NJ isnt any better  sigh 

Well I got a 3% raise whichgoes on in my next pay check but rent goes up about 6-9% each year so already in  the whole.  Fingers crossed.  I'll know in april 

[paulie]

Hi LB, Gotcha about hockey games.  Geesh to NYC rents but understandable. Good luck this April. Yes fingers crossed for you.

Good Morning,

LB and jicaji, How's your weather considering the storm prediction? Sounds like it could be a doozy if it hits your area.

[LBLNJ0668]

Hello It snowed all day pretty to watch but thank god didnt stck to the roads. Only a coating on grass, I cant believe next week is spring.  I bought a pillow for legs/knees its suppose to help with sciatica. I hope it works I ahve been waiting for months to get it. I finally had  some extra money to get it

[paulie]

LB, Good news about your weather and extra good news about the pillow you got for yourself. Very good! I help you begin to feel relief tonight.

[LBLNJ0668]

The knee pillow is comfortable but didnt work my morning getting out of bed/shower.   I also go the body pillow will see how that works. waiting to use that it says takes 48 hours to fluff up to max  I walked copper afyer wrk today and it was so hard to walk, witht he scitica maybe itn was shoes I was wearing.  I just give up   I feel like a 100 year old just put me in a wheel chair but that wont work either  It hursts when I sit too long sorry just so tired and ittitable  I give up

[jicaji]

LB...The pillow is supposed to work well.  Hope it does for you.  I was thinking of getting a special neck pillow.

I forgot next week is Spring...YAAY

Spent the weekend with my daughter in MA for her birthday.  Happily the weather worked out well THIS weekend and we didn't have to wait until next.

Paulie....We didn't get hit much at all from the storm, other than some really gusty winds and snow showers/rain intermittently.\

No more bluebird sightings....But we have a very large bag of mealworms.

SED....Have a good rest of the week.  Food shopping tomorrow.

Hi 

LB, Give your sciatica pillow a few nights to work at relieving pain and discomfort .. days and evening too when sitting. It takes a bit of time for the nerve and surrounding areas to relax and feel relief.
I don't know what instructions came with it but here's what I did for sciatica and it's been gone for about a week. (Knock of wood)

I used a round/straight neck pillow to place under my hip on side of sciatica when sitting and sleeping. When sleeping I was very careful not to lay or roll over on the sciatica side. Trust me you'll wake up if you do lay on that side. It took a few days but I felt the pain begin to subside until gone. I still don't lay on that side just to be sure. A heating pad worked awesome too. Give it some time to begin feeling relief. You just have to be careful not putting pressure on sciatica side. As as you know walking does help it and pain it sends to knee.

Also very true wearing the correct shoes are important. Have good arch support in your shoes to align your spine. Buy some arch supports to insert into your shoes. They do help.

jicaji, Good to 'see' you and really glad you enjoyed your weekend with your daughter AND the weather cooperated. 

I think you getting a neck pillow is a good idea. There's different shapes. I've used one for years. I've bought some that I didn't like too. I found it's a trial and error process till you find the one that's comfy for you. Suggestion .. when you find the one you like get an extra one or two to use in the future. I wish I had. The one I use is old but I refuse to give it up lol and can't find another like it.

Good you didn't get much from the storm.

Oh boy!!! Next week is Spring!! Yes YAAY!!

Bummer to no more Bluebirds for you. Regarding the very large bag of mealworms ....that's a Murphy's Law!!
Suggestion .. Robins love eating mealworms .. squirrels too lol as do Sparrows. I found that out with my mealworms for Bluebirds.

You have a good rest of the week too.

I'm going to say SED now because without looking I'm thinking my post is loooong. 

#2 true. Life is about Balance  and  #3 very true.
