We are looking into a different provider.

*groans* why oh why is it so god damn easy to put your back out, yet so painful?! Seriously, sitting in my chair eating breakfast, twisted a little bit to type on the laptop, and BAM! Insta-pain.

That wouldn't be so bad, normally, I'd just spend the rest of the day in bed. But NOOOO! I have to have a final exam on this morning. So that's probably ~2-3 hours in stupidly uncomfortable chairs doing a stupid exam.

*grumble*

Narcotics are the best way to deal with the problem, but if that's not an option, try a couple grams of magnesium - preferably the chelated form like magnesium citrate, gluconate, aspartate, etc. These are absorbed much more easily than magnesium salts like magnesium sulfate or chloride. It is essential for muscle relaxation and virtually everyone is deficient. IIRC, the RDA (now DV) is around 800mg. Unless you consume a huge number of calories each day and your diet includes lots of nuts and organ meats (hey, focus - you know what I mean), then you are not getting enough (tell me about it - but that's another story).

Just don't take it all at once. Too much of anything can stress your kidneys.

I used to work with someone who was worried that her heart was beating too fast. I gave her some magnesium and a few hours later she was better. That's just one anecdote, so here is some more reliable information.

This assumes that the problem is a muscle spasm - which seems likely since I've had the same thing happen to me and I know that was the reason. Now I take magnesium religiously, but for a completely different reason. It turns out that if you have gall stones, it will prevent them from being symptomatic - well, there is a correlation anyway and it definitely works for me.

So what he's saying is chug a bottle of Milk of Magnesia.

well, its not morning, but this is where I have been talking about my ongoing mouse infestation, so . . . .

I think I finally got the last one. Normally I review the tape in the morning but even at 20x, 12 hours is a long time. So me, the gf and one of the cats are watching (get a life? I don't understand ) and the mouse has gnawed all the way down to the concrete where the bait bars where but he's still going for that last morsel. Finally he decides to check out the spring trap with the peanut butter on it. Now, these traps aren't that sensitive. They have a bait scented trigger - hard to explain. The point is they don't trip easily. So to improve my odds, I figured I would put the trap on an angle and maybe throw the little rodent off a little. So the spring bar end is resting on the ledge and the bait end is resting on a 2x4 over one of the windows.

The mouse climbs up over the spring and starts chowing down on the peanut butter. We can't believe it. The mouse goes away, comes back and starts eating from the bait end. Now everyone, and especially the cat, are seriously po'd. He leaves and comes back for thirds. I was a little heavy handed with the peanut butter. This time its from the spring end again. I guess he was running out of peanut butter because he finally crawls up so his entire body is resting on the trigger. We're about to hyperventilate at this point because WTF does he have to do to trip this friggin' trap? Jump up and down on trigger while singing karaoke? I mean come the **** on!!! I can't take it anymore and start to fast forward and we see that the trap fell off the ledge. The crowd goes wild. We back it up for the slo-mo, end-zone boogie replay. Yup, the trap is finally sprung.

BUT, it only gets him by the legs and he's still trying to make a run for it. Eventually it falls behind the box it landed on. I think at that point it died of fright but not before digging its little claws into something. It took a couple of tugs but I finally got him lose and into a bucket of water - just in case he was playing possum.

If I don't see any more over the next couple nights - especially with a couple of the cold nights we've had - I think I can assume I plugged their access hole and have captured them all. I can only hope I was able to do so before they were able to call for reinforcements.

First off you must be feeding your cats too much food. Starve them for a few days and they will get their lazy arses to work. Second, regular mouse trap with a little bit of peanut butter spread over the trigger like putting on TIM. They then have to work a little harder to get the peanut butter and Wham, there goes their neck.

not quite, thats a laxative but would defiantly get him out of the exam

[fart_plume]

Hey only one plume to a room!!!!

[D_A]

I thought is was for heartburn.

[fart_plume]

magnesium, postasium are but two of the electrolyte minerals your body needs to properly pass nerve singals to the muscles. without them the muscles cramp...........

Both have been declawed and we don't let them go into the basement.

I did spread it like I would TIM

Next time I'm going with the old fashioned type that has a metal trigger. You can't breathe on those without having them go off - kind of like when you were 15.

mix Cotton ball pieces in with the peanut butter then stuff that mix into the holder of the trap, it makes them have to pull and tug on the bait to get it out and then Wham!!!!

Tripod mounted microwave emitter...just put a motion detector trigger on that bad boy and turn any mouse in the basement to popcorn.

[Sparky]

Morning. No coffee today for now, seems my stomach was a bit off or something and it was a bit grumpy when having breakfast. Doesn't feel upset or anything, just felt like it didn't want anything.

[Kayin]

Payday, now to throw all that money away...

On bills.
