The problem is that many with Pain issues that could be resolved by Acupuncture could also be on Blood Thinners,such as I am, and therefore I cannot use Acupuncture, unfortunately.

Yes, I believe that I understand how you feel as I live with Constant Neuropathic pain on a daily basis, throw in some Arthritis too.

My advice is to keep your mind as busy as possible..blog and believe that you can conquer what seems impossible to conquer..and never give up.

All my Best ;-)

The "O" campaign had better start getting as Vicious as the McCain campaign, which is still being run by Rove et al.
They need to take off the Kid Gloves and go for the Throat and that includes letting 527's do the most nasty stuff.
That also includes having both the Clintons going on full throttle attack, or else we will not be winning this election.

When you are out in Public, at a Gas Station, at a Restaurant, in a line at a Store.. be Vocal and level as many diatribes as you can, I've already started. Use your voice, use your Mouth, I'm serious!
I'm already seeing too many McCain bumperstickers in the San Fran BayArea. And they don't have the name "Palin" on them out here.

Oh yes it can be done. I've seen seen 12 Presidential Elections  in my lifetime and voted in 8 of those. Anything can happen & will.
I stick with John all the way through till all is said and done.
Obama is not acceptable.

Thanks for the Diary Amy!

Thanks for this wonderful Diary benny ;-)
Love that B & W Pic of you two.

My Mom turned 80 this year and now has to go through Bankruptcy, she lives in subsidized housing in the Chicago Burbs and cannot get all her perscrption meds because of the Medicade Part D rules & regs. She says it was a ripoff.
Thanks to GWB & the Gop she now votes Democratic on a regular basis. She was always an Indie.
Mom's are great, but of course an only child like me would automatically say that.LOL.
 Even though she had a College Degree she stayed at home and helped nurture & educate me. That was her choice in life, that was her "career".
Bless the Mom's out there!!
Cheers,Ed

Lets see, first it was the Gay Basher McClurkin, now Obama basically praises Reagan (and yes I've seen the video 5 times and I don't buy the spin that it is not praise) and now Markos calls John an Ass & a Weasel. Disgusting. Ronald Reagan (whom Markos voted for twice) was a Freaking Nightmare. I lived through that Era of Hell. Any Democrat saying anything positive about Racist Anti-Gay Ronnie should be chided for that and be called the Weasel.
As much as I'm not fond of everything Bill Clinton did he saved this Country from completely going down the Tubes and Obama dissing him in that video is also disgusting.

End of Rant. Thanks for listening.

The only "fanatacism" I see is that coming from some of the "Obama Girl" candidate's supporters.
Now that was embarassingly scary and a real turnoff.

If John Edwards had been our candidate in 2004 instead of the "Inevitable" John Kerry, the last election would have ended more favorably for us. Of course if Al Gore had gone with his Second choice for VP instead of listening to the DLC we wouldn't have had Joe Traitor Lieberman as a VP Candidate, and maybe we would have had a Gore/Edwards Presidency.
Fanatics no, Realists yes.
I see only one electable Progressive for the Democratic Party and that is John Edwards.

Wonderful Diary sirius! Thanks for braving the Snow & Ice in New Hampshire, and all your hard work there and on this Diary.
Happy to hear Gov. Chet Culver-D's wife has endorsed John. I contributed to his successful campaign in 2006.
I still remember the days when his Dad was in the House then Senate.

Great news Roundup Cosbo. So, even the Rethug Pundits fear an Edwards Candidacy. Been saying that myself for a while now. Would be great to have some pulling power at the Top of the Ticket next year to help us secure more Congressional & Senate Seats and keep the ones we picked up in 2006.

Great work on this EENR, sirius ;-)
I have relatives in NH that I think are potential Edwards voters. I'm going to be chatting with them before the Primary there.

Hey anne, nice to see you ;-)

some People Do believe this, I don't. Hate & Violence produce the same result: Hate & Violence.
