It's not quite agony, but my shoulder blade hurts (right side, in the trapezius).  I put some dual action A535 on it.

  I hope it's ok to walk around smelling like a medicine cabinet.

HOT TUB !!!  That's my 'cure-all' for all aches and pains.  Plus you sleep like a baby after a nice hot tubby.

Yeah Hot tubs are good, although I don't know why I see people go from the hot tub to the pool right after. It doesn't make sense. You go to the hot tub to get out the aches, then jump into a pool where the temp is much colder and you will all of a sudden tighten up again. do'h.

They call it "Icy Hot" for a reason. lol

My agony is the degree of frustration in all things service related.  I am constantly amazed at how difficult it is to get good service...so much so, that I annoy myself for letting it be an issue.

  Today I packed 6 tons of tiles in my car while burly men sauntered by.  I couldn't help but be reminded, that if I were younger and cuter, I wouldn't have had to break a sweat.  Now I know that's a little sexist, yet in spite of being an independant person with such things, it still kinda annoyed me.  But to back it up a minute.....why aren't they asking as you are going through the checkout if you will be needing any help (instead of relying on the kindness of strangers)  You drop a thousand bucks in their pockets, and nadda.  [img onclick="selecte('eh.gif');" alt=emoticon src="vny!://www.pushupstairs.com/images/emoticon/blehnet/eh.gif" border=0]

Aw.  Was it Home Depot?  I know it was HD....HD sucks for customer service.

Mr LM nearly got in a fistfight once with the HD manager.  But I digress...

  Our neighbourhood lumberyard is #1 for customer service.

Too bad they only sell paint, lighbulbs and lumber...

 I'm in minor Agony at the  moment. I think I made a mistake on my student loan application. I think I'm okay though. Anyway woot! I'll be in debt for years!!!  

Why does every city or region have their own sushi roll? Go to a place in St. Louis, you'll see a "St. Louis roll" on the menu (its got eggs in it as meat apparently).

The man's equivalent to child birthing, stepping on your catheter while in the hospital.

Describing childbirth:

  a) pull a watermelon from your nostril

b) suddenly that long needle for epidural doesn't look so bad afterall

c) the movie 'alien' keeps playing in your head

d) all of the above and you get to swear at your spouse

by equivalent I meant in the 'most pain a man can endure at a given moment' didn't mean equal pain.
