    Tourette’s is more than just vocal and physical ticks. It ebbs and flows and manifests itself along with numerous other disorders particularly ADHD, OCD and anxiety. Prescription medications that deal with the Tourette ticks can exacerbate the other disorders and vice versa. More recently there are however some fairly effective cognitive and rehab therapies that psychologists and speech pathologists can work on with some patients. Tourette and its associated disorders can be a debilitating disability for some but not necessarily for others.

    I've had good results with physical therapy. Maybe that could be considered chiropracty lite?

    When I was in my 30's, I went to a physician that did spinal adjustments, and they worked. He had me cross my arms while laying on his flat padded table, and then pretty much jumped with all his weight on my crossed arms. My back would pop like a series of popping buttons, but I felt better when he'd do it. And, he would sometimes do it for free, given I was a poor grad student. He wasn't a chiropractic, but he was a D.O. Don't think Osteopaths have been part of this discussion yet. They are legal in Oregon, I think there's a university here somewhere that churns out D.O.s
    He was a very bright guy, and I could tell by his practice that he was getting insanely rich. Go figure I guess.

    Nice. So about 1 out of 10 adults in the country work for the government.

    The rest of us work for the government until late sometime in April.

    It might be hard to imagine such ignorant, bigoted condescension, if TNCR didn't grow up around it.

    Sick burn.

    According to The Denver Gazette, the men cited discounts on the sticker prices, and Kohl's coupons they had, to bring the items down below the threshold for felony theft in Colorado, which is $2,000.

    The documented value of the items stolen was $2,094.98, the district attorney's office said.

    With Kohl’s Cash the actual value was likely somewhere around $60.

    Probably about the same.
    Can’t say I pay much attention to it. 🤷‍♂️

    One of the greatest and most wonderful parts of hearing a choral ensemble is hearing so many different and unique voices coming together. But there is also a unique beauty in hearing a single voice singing different parts in harmony with itself.

    I think a lot of Democrats are frustrated with teh illegal immigration, so this would seem make sense for President Biden to negotiate on this subject.

    There’s a comedy sketch in that exchange.

    I bring my own cloth bags when I go grocery shopping. In part because of past enlightening exchanges with minimum wage staff such as you had.

    That, and I only shop at Wal-Mart once a year to buy 10% cleaning vinegar to flush through my hot water on demand tank. It’s usually $1.50 or more cheaper there for a 2 litre jug than other stores nearby.
