Soulstation1 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 For the past few weeks I must wake up 6 times every night while sleeping and I normally get around 6-7 hours of sleep Nevermind the totally messed up dreams I'm having every night Probably TMI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 That's something I'm thankful for - I still get the same (relatively) blissful sleep. Doesn't hurt that a doctor would probably find my clinically depressed which explains my inability to get my ass out of bed in the morning.

If you need a reason to get out of bed maybe you can pick up tennis again. Edited June 2, 2009 by rockefeller center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need a reason to get out of bed maybe you can pick up tennis again. I wish I could but since the end of last year I have had a right shoulder that regularly barks at me, particularly for all over-hand activity. I think that I may have injured the rotator cuff when I helped my wife move a pallet of bricks to the backyard, at least that was the most noteworthy physical activity that occurred before this pain developed. But unless it goes away, my tennis career is over, and while this is the time of year I think about looking for a softball league, I'd be worthless there too.

Your mention of over-hand activity sounds similar to a condition I had some years ago -- what they call frozen shoulder. It lasted about a month to 6 weeks, but only because I went to rehab to fix it. Range motion exercises and some other treatments involving electrical stimulation. Without the treatments, it could have lasted as long as what you're describing, but I was assured it would eventually clear up on it's own over time. As I understand it, the condition arises when some fiber-like material in the shoulder socket basically seizes up and hardens, making even the lifting of your arm over your shoulder quite painful. I couldn't start a lawn mower, for example, because I could not pull my arm back that far. I would wake up in the night literally screaming in pain because I'd rolled over on my arm. Freaked my (then-) wife out. Not fun for either of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also notice it if put my arm across my chest, then lift it toward my left shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Had the same thing myself about a year/year-and-a-half ago on the LH side. Total agony, I couldn't put any weight on the left arm or shoulder. It took about 3-4 months to clear up. For the first few months I kept waking up half-way through the night, every night, in intense pain. Makes me cringe even thinking about it !

Soulstation1 Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) I sold one candle to my barber's wife and she has a area in the back of the shop for the ladies We talked about her selling them in the shop The major problem at the shop is there is pieces of hair everywhere Not really sure I can sell for less than $7 or $8 each I am into them for around $4 per candle I make 2.candles at a time it takes the same amount of time to make 1 or 2 candles So making just one candle would increase the amount costs per candle Much more if I buy 10 lbs of wax instead of the 50 lbs box which is over $90 including shipping for 50 lbs The shipping is almost as much as the wax itself Someone is selling soy wax in town but it is not 100 percent soy wax, it is a soy wax blend Also on this batch I had to buy all the supplies except wax Wax pitcher Paper Core Wicks Metal posts for wicks Scents Mason Jars Edited June 10, 2009 by Soulstation1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soulstation1 Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) Somehow someway I have got to get my car running A friend said he might be able to get a starter installed for me I need to pump in about $2000 into the car I bet after I get the starter installed my timing belt will go out on me I expect the worst things these days Edited June 11, 2009 by Soulstation1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 I'll be honest; I'm just not a car person. I don't think I've ever spent $2000 on a car. A motorcycle, yes, but not a car. Damn...I just realized what a strange SOB that makes me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Don't feel alone. Most I ever spent on a car was 500. I spent 17, 000 on a motorcycle last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
