Herring wrote:Feeling a little philosophical tonight and was wondering if there is a member here who doesn't have chronic back pain? When I was a kid I decided I would NEVER have back pain. Bad move on my part.100 years ago there was no time for this foolishness, Ppl had to be out milking cows and cutting wood and growing gardens and cleaning the outhouse. So why are we the way we are? Any ideas out there? I tell young ppl now that they really should never ever decide what they don't want to be like in their elders. I used to love one grandma but I never wanted to have her teeth because they were crumbling out of her mouth so it looked. Guess who sees crackle looking glazing on her teeth now and also feels rough edges on teeth that feels like the edges are crumbling away. Now I know I need to get this taken care of but with a monthly trip between MI and GA and the litigation standing on dad's estate, the deal of everyday life, not knowing when hubby will get a day in the area to visit, how the heck can I find the right time and dentist to get this taken care of. Also does anyone out there have any guidelines for finding a dentist who won't break your neck during treatment? Last dental work nearly killed me. I am OK in the chair dentists never bothered me at all as far as fear factor is involved. It's the aftermath of the pressure on my neck and jaw that's the killer. So do I go in and tell the dentist how I want him to practice his field? I don't know any other way to do it and then there is the arrogance of anyone who is called doctor in the way of things too. Sorry to be so philosophical tonight but I get this way sometimes. And I always ask lots of questions, I have a whole draft box full of them that I didn't send yet. : ?

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 , I didn't do the things you did at that young an age but I did work like a dog from the time I was 16. And also, very active in high school activities and hurt myself many times. My Mom always said that you hurt yourself when your young, it will come back when you are older. Boy was she right. Although I hurt my back in a boating accident 14 yrs. ago. The rest of the body has just fallen apart. Wonder what things will be like when I am 80, lol. donna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Country folks almost always had a " hired man " and a " hired girl. " Mothers, living in towns, very frequently had a " hired girl " to help with the house, yard and garden work load. In my neck of the woods, having " hired help " was the norm until the early 1960's. People had bad backs and left the hard labour to the hired help anytime they could. They also worked until they dropped. 100 years ago, the life expectancy of a woman with children was 40 some years. We've come a long way baby :-) > I tell young ppl now that they really should never ever decide what they don't want to be like in their elders. LOL. I remember looking at my slim Mum's shapely legs, complete with cellulite and spider veins, and thinking " When I'm 50, I'll never look like that. " Bwahahahahahahaha -- Lyndi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2004 Report Share Posted November 6, 2004 I swore I would never be like my abusive mother, and I thank God, I wasn't. When she'd say something, I'd think " when I'm older, I won't do that, Instead, I'll do this. " and I did, and have 7 wonderful children as a result. Funny how I became a better parent because of one who had a lot of problems. ----- Original Message ----- From: Herring I tell young ppl now that they really should never ever decide what they don't want to be like in their elders.
