Video Snapshot-1

Oh lordy does my back hurt – stiff as a board and aches so. I hope Someone packed enough Motrin in my lunch box.

Goodness knows what I am going to do with the personal trainer today. Perhaps it is a good opportunity to take that photo we’ve been meaning to do. I found a photo of myself from 1994. I still have the same shirt. I will wear it and get a new photo and ‘compare and contrast’ to 10 years ago. I will airbrush out today’s pained expression though.

Last week was chock full of activities; this week has nuttin. Perhaps I can finish a friend’s birthday shirt. It is covered with ants, beetles and even tarantulas. Whatever floats your boat, right?

My cold sore finally dried up and left, so if anyone wants a kiss now I can oblige. 50 cents. 75 cents for the pretty ones. And a dollar for an Urpso smack. All proceeds go to charity – The Urspo Foundation for lower back pain.

Ugh. I hate when that happens. Maybe you can sit in a super-hot tub this evening. I find that helps.

What would I get for $5?

Hope your back gets feeling better!

I know squats on the freeweight smith machines build a better buttock, but they hurt my lower back way to much. I can only do a leg press on a bench with good back support! Mention this to your trainer as advice from an older (but not always wiser) Spo-fan.

Sorry to hear about your back. Back pain is some of the worst. There seems to be nothing to do to make it better. I have found that lying on the floor with my feet on a chair will sometimes help.

Call that massage therapist again. Especially if he’s cute.

Um, do you sell Kiss Variety Packs ?

I am sorry you’re in pain, but always love to see a new pic of you on your blog. If you’re body is telling you something hurts, stop doing it. No sense hurting yourself at the gym and making things worse, trainer be damned!

Aren’t there any free KISSES? I mean, geeze….

I’m not used to having to pay for it.

Sorry you’re hurting!

I think I will pay for a smack. …a pack of smacks?

anne marie in philly

This unfortunate turn of your back is bringing out some splendid dry humor that I am certainly enjoying. Sorry it’s at your expense. but you SURE can be creative doctor.

I TOO always wanted to hire a hustler….and just TALK for a couple of hours about their lives. Maybe if we hire one together, we can split the cost, and both ask the questions, and get EVERYTHING out on the table, hah.
