Yep, that is how it is for me sometimes.. A litte weird I always thought. Mom
could never understand what I meant with things like that until she got
fibromyalgia very late in life (I think she was just over 70).. then suddenly,
that changed (bg).

>> You mean you wouldn't let me walk barefoot on your counters or table?

> Your feet are probably cleaner than the cat's.

I sure hope so Lol.. but I'm definitely more clumsy than a cat :)

>> Yeah, I'm the same way really.. I mean these are cat feet! Lol We know

> Then they lick their feet.

Well, you know what?  I think Dogs are worse.. but lets not get into that Lol

Right, ok.. makes sense now.

I'd read a number of articles about the few studies done (2 I believe, and
neither study included a control, nor a placebo.. certainly not a
double-blind..

Yes, I know.. and we know how successful some of those are..

I've talked to Marilyn twice since she got home, and so far she's still feeling
better than before she left for Mexico.   I can only hope that continues -
would be such a trip :)

Oh, btw, Ron and I forgot that when you were here, we wanted to play some music
from a group we'd come upon when we were trying to encourage Eoin to continue
his music lessons.. maybe I did mention them to you?  The Piano Guys..Steven
Sharp Nelson (cello) and Jon Schmidt (pianist).  Ron wonders if you have heard
any of their music.. and your opinion.  Since we're not so musically inclined
(ok, I play piano and also drums (well, long time ago for the drums), but not
like Jon Schmidt hahaha), we were curious about your reaction?

Just go to youtube and search for the pianoguys.. you should see their videos..

:)

Take care,
Janis
