Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 I almost blew it when I was talking to my pain dr today. He told me I was trying to do too many things at once. I have an " all or nothing " personality. -------------- It doesn't count as " going back on them " if all you do is light one and then quickly shove the lit end some place to get some idiot's attention.
