Just one quick bitch ...

I still have a sore neck. I am going to the chiropractor next Thursday but still I am surprised my neck has hurt for this long.

Can you tolerate GA giving you a neck massage?  (I forget how physical you guys said you actually DO get, sorry, but it's actually a serious question, seeing as I can't fly to Australia to help you out.)

Aww, that's nice of you to say that.

GA's touch is too light. Which is irritating because I wouldn't mind a proper neck massage. I am glad to be going to the chiropractor anyway because I can feel that one of the vertebra has moved to one side. I have also been taking anti-inflammatories hoping the pain will settle down. It has, a little bit.

I hope the chiropractor helps. I have had mixed results at "choir practice" (slang name for a chiropractor, over here), but sometimes nothing else works.

I have an old injury to my trapezius muscles that causes a couple of my cervical vertebra to get out of alignment sometimes. I can always get them back in place myself, though, after some painful stretches. I can certainly sympathize.

Massage is best done firm almost too hard of a grip.  A too light touch is not good.  I know, I'v had some training in massage.  You have to be able to "listen" to the person your massaging.  And I'v found most people like a technique that is borderline painful in force. 

Man oh man, I can just hear all those dirty thoughts and filthy minds going overtime thinking of quips to add to my post!

Tommy Johnson Jr's 4.812 in qualifying at Memphis, bumped John's 4.818 for the #3 qualifying spot.

This stoped us from having our first 1,2,3 quailfying effort this year. 

....but we did get the #1, #2 and #4 spots.

Thanks Dawg and ozy.

Being generally tense is not a good thing. I worry a lot and so I am tense without really knowing. Then I get depressed about being in pain and what got me there in the first place. A vicious circle but I am trying to help myself.

Well, a quasi-quip:  Whether or not a massage should have a light or firm touch also depends on the intent, doesn't it?  What if you don't want the person to relax?
