CAUTION!

Reading my ‘Stuff’ may be Habit-Forming!


It has been brought to my attention that:
Some of my Ramblings are actually Good -
Others actually SUCK!

ERGO - Read at your own RISK!

Accordingly - I Disavow any Knowledge of any Control
Over any of the ‘Crap’ that Oozes from my Feeble Mind.
That which ‘Flows’ does so - on its own Accord!

I have always Sought:
Knowledge - Learning - Challenge - Controversy -
Along with other ‘Stuff’ -

Therefore, I Read, Analyze, Pick, and Choose -
That which I tend to Believe makes some Sense to Me -
As a Result - my mental acuity, or the Lack Thereof -
Is most probably different from Yours!

Be that as it May -
I would still like to Say -
If - we are ‘Birds of a Feather’
Then - Let Us Stick Together!

OKAY?

I, like you, see all these TV Commercials -
About all those New, Wonderful, Astonishing, Fantabulous -
Medications, Drugs, Pain Relievers, Diet Plans, Regimens -
Ad Nauseum - and then - the Disclaimers -
Make me Want to PUKE!

INGEST ME!
And I will Fix Whatever Ails You!
Oh - you MAY have some Minor, Insignificant Side Effects -
Like - your Legs Fall Off - or you DIE!
BUT - Not to Worry!
I AM APPROVED BY THE EVER-LOVIN’ MUVVA - FDA!

DRINK ME!
I will make you - Slim - Beautiful - Sexy - Smart - Whatever -
Oh - you might could get Grand Mal Seizures -
Or - wind up in a Coma for the next Ten Years -
But - GEE - won’t you Look Good!
You know, like your Final Viewing!

POP ME!
Big Brother - just like a Loving Father Above -
Would not Intentionally Harm You - Would He?
NAH!

In closing, let me say This about That -
My Son, The Chiropractor -
Who - like all Good Professionals of his Ilk -
Believes in - Allowing the Body a Chance to -
HEAL ITSELF!

Between - Good Diet, Sensible Exercise, Proper Nutrition,
Proven Established Homeopathy,
And - a Large Dose of Common Sense -
With a Modicum of Drugs and/or -
Only Absolutely Necessary Surgery -
Your Body is a Pretty Good Automatic Healer!

Just this past Tuesday - After Manipulating me -
Using Isometric Stretching of Muscles and Tendons -
He Planted a Seed in my Feeble Mind -
Only Four Words - Two Sentences -

EAT LESS!
MOVE MORE!

After Pondering these Two Simple Truths -
For only Two Days -
I have Decided - CHOSEN -
To Nurture this Concept -
To Allow this Germ of an Idea to Grow!

It Works for Me!


DISCLAIMER!

I AM NOT A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL!

I Disavow any Knowledge of even Attempting
To Influence You!

Use your own God-Given Brain -
To Make your Own Conscious Decisions!

Pax Tecum!

Personal Note:

I have enjoyed the Benefits of Chiropractic Care
For Over 30 Years Now!
And Never had a Personal Physician - M.D.

On my Birthday last year was hospitalized for 3 days
The First Time in my Life at Age 68 -
WHY?
Because of Self-Medicating with too much Ibuprofen!
My White Cell Count Went Through The Roof!

OTC DRUGS CAN HARM YOU!
TOO MUCH TYLENOL CAN COOK YOUR LIVER!
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

Oh - you MAY have some Minor, Insignificant Side Effects -
Like - your Legs Fall Off - or you DIE!

My spouse and I have gotten to the point where we ignore the TV commercial's actual drug pitch, and we listen to the often numerous and truly amazing side effects which very often sound far worse than the original ailment. Needless to say, we don't take the drug.

As for chiropractors, they are unsung heroes as far as I'm concerned, and one of them saved me from years of misery. I injured my tailbone in the military (you don't want to know how) and the resulting pinched nerve in my leg brought me absolute agony - I couldn't even put my pants on without help.

The military flew me to a hospital in Germany, and the surgeon smugly told me that they would be removing part of my tailbone. He also showed me the rubber pillow that he said I would now have to carry around with me the rest of my life to sit on. I immediately refused surgery, toughed it out, and sought out a chiropractor when I got out.

After a few months of chiropractor visits, both my tailbone and my leg were again fine - and I thank God for that chiropractor every time I see a rubber butt pillow!

Eat less, move more, and read Tom's ramblings... it might be risky, but some are actually good. I like 'em all, but I wouldn't tell Tom.
