As a result, a lot of the medication doesn't work because it's my muscles that are the root cause of it. My neck is at a bit of an odd angle and I think a lot of my problems stem from an old volleyball injury in high school.<BR/><BR/>If I could, I'd go to the chiropractor once a week - that would probably help a lot. In fact, that's what my doctor told me would be a good idea. <BR/><BR/>I agree on Thanksgiving - we need a reminder more than once a year for all the blessings we have in our lives!Melissa Amateishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086267508858187716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-14212766728474582032008-11-10T11:45:00.000-07:002008-11-10T11:45:00.000-07:00I'm so sorry to hear about your headaches. If they...I'm so sorry to hear about your headaches. If they happen every couple of months, is it possible they are migraines? I got so tired of having so many headaches that first I went to an allergist (skin test showed I'm allergic to - everything, including dogs!), and allergy medication helped some of the sinus stuff. Then I went to a neurologist and she said I've got classic migraine. Now I take a generic inderal (beta blocker) every day and it's reduced the real migraines to about 1/3 to 1/4 the number I was having. It may be worth checking into. I have Relpax (ridiculously expensive, but worth it) for when a migraine does start coming. 90% of the time, it works if I catch it early enough. <BR/><BR/>Thanksgiving may just need a makeover. It would be nice if we had some kind of thanks giving celebration about 4X a year so we could think about all the things we do have to be grateful for, especially compared to most of the world. <BR/><BR/>I too protest Christmas in stores too early!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665632105920753931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-17655852304497329512008-11-10T11:40:00.000-07:002008-11-10T11:40:00.000-07:00The Indian Corn and cornstalks and pumpkin don't c...The Indian Corn and cornstalks and pumpkin don't come down until Thanksgiving!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-71453861220463437892008-11-10T11:26:00.000-07:002008-11-10T11:26:00.000-07:00Debs - I think The Tea Rose is in the first in the...Debs - I think The Tea Rose is in the first in the series, and dumb me, I didn't realize that and just plunged ahead with The Winter Rose. :-)<BR/><BR/>I usually wait at least until December 1 to put up Christmas decorations.

It's quite bothersome. I, for one, am going to try and keep it alive! Maybe I'll do a "Campaign to Save Thanksgiving" or something...heh.<BR/><BR/>Tess - No, I haven't read the other book, but just from reading the character of Fiona in The Winter Rose, I can tell it was probably a good story. :-) <BR/><BR/>Ell - Yep, a lot of changes, but I'm doing ok.
