Driving on the shoulder

[The Valkyrie]

I prefer driving on the legs.

That way they can't escape.

Me too, but sometimes your body says, "fuck you".

I see your aversion to spending money on a doctor visit has caused you to spend money on home remedies. Aren't you concerned that some of your cash is going to end up in the pockets of the Big Ineffectual Guesswork Treatment industry?

Not about home remedies, it is about price gouging. FYI I am not rich. I have to stretch what my mother left me for a minimum of 8 years to reach social security. You tell me what business does a hospital have charging anyone 20k for a mere two days stay, for my last time unrelated to this. If I went to the doctor every time I felt bad I'd be broke. I've struggled long before my mom passed away, and I am not about to give that money to some corporate goons. 

If I  bite the bullet and go now, I pay more, and that means I have less to live on to reach social security. 

FYI, this was NOT the first time I had this same shoulder pain. It happened to me last year as well. It was a bitch for almost a week, but I got out of it time and patience.

But you ARE giving your money to corporate goons. Every time you buy anything - from a stick of gum to a house - a percentage goes to corporations.

If you don't like that, I suggest you pick out a nice, comfortable cave and hermitize yourself.

Having to buy things is part of life always, thanks for the update.

Excluding proper medical care, apparently. 

If your justification for not seeing a doctor about your shoulder is that you don’t want your money to go to ‘corporate goons’, why don’t you use that justification to quit smoking? The cases seem very similar - on one hand, you’re endangering your health and well-being so your money won’t go to a corporation. On the other hand, you’re actively GIVING your money to a corporation whose entire existence is geared around endangering your health and well-being.

It’s almost as if you haven’t really thought this through.

Uh, uh, "oopsie." You seem to be mistakenly expecting Brian to make sense.

I haven't spent time listening to you.

FYI smoking, drinking, any addiction you want to point out is not a class issue.

Where the fuck did THAT come from? I never said addiction was a class issue, I was simply pointing out what seems to be a whopping great inconsistency in how you justify your expenditures.

Shoulder is clearing up today. Still a slight tinge, but I am far more mobile now. Just have to avoid sleeping on that shoulder and it should clear up like it did last year when the same thing happened.

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Glad to hear you’re on the mend.
