Well, I'm still not fired, though about a third of the company is...
Kinda happy, kinda sad.
I get the impression that unless I move my ass my entire life will be mediocre. I need to find a space ship, and fast.
I think there's something to be said for "herbal" medecine, as sweeping as that is. I'd say that, right now, at least on the shelves of Rite-Aid, it's the single largest medical scam for Joe Consumer to blow his money on.
Feeling down? No problem, try wheatgrass ginkochinacea wellness pills. Placebo anyone?
But aside from that, you've got to figure that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. All westerners do is prescribe antibiotics and painkellers, and when things get really bad, perform surgery. There's nothing in today's society that can really make a bad back good again, or give fiery strength to weakness of the loins. Oh wait... viagra. Never mind.
