So, I've finally gotten my financial situation to a point where I can go
back to school - yay!
I'll be studying Simulation Development (basically programming with an
emphasis on Math & Physics) at DevRy University, taking evening courses
as long as I can, and then taking online courses to finish the rest.
Classes start Monday. I've been waiting a *very* long time for this
(OK, 3 years, but dammit, it's long to me!), and my very first class
is... economics?!?!?
Oh well, I'm sure it will still be useful :)

Microeconomics or macroeconomics?
Micro is easy: If you grok how supply, demand, and price interact in a
market economy, you only need to learn things like "elasticity" and
"inferior good" and you can ace the final immediately. I CLEPed micro
when I wad doing college in the military.
Also, if you grok how supply, demand, and price interact in a market
economy, you know more about economics than just about any politician.

Sorry to hear that.
Try an alcohol rub both external and internal ;)
Q. How did you do it? If that is not a too personal question.

Internal sounds the better of the two options. My md has prescribed a
topical rub that reduces the pain from excrutiating to bearable which
means I can use all the alcohol in the house internally :-)

No idea. Slight pain on Thursday, couldn't even move on Friday. I refuse
to blame the Kat

Yeah. There isn't really a way of "resting" your back. You use it for
*everything*!

Well, yesterday I discovered a chunk of flesh missing out of my thumb.
No idea why. But it stings whenever I try to touch anything...
...no, not quite the same, is it?

400 mg ibuprofen every 4–6 hours, 1200 mg is considered the maximum daily dose.
Helped me when I put my back out.

Thanks for the sympathy, both. As Andrew says there's no way of resting
it properly.
ATM I'm typing upside down and its B****Y uncomfortable.
Ah well, at least I get a few days in bed and some TLC from the Kat

So have a noggin or two with St ;-)
As you will have guessed the chances of me being mobile in the next week
look fairly remote. If there's any change I'll mail or phone

Would you believe I was once prescribed 600mg of ibuprofen every 4-6
hours for my THUMB?
Seriously, you know how sometimes your wrists feel sore after typing a
lot? That's how my thumb felt, but it didn't let up for almost a week.
No swelling or anything, and I have no idea why. So, I checked with
the doctor, he prescribed the ibuprofen, and when I got the prescription
filled, they gave me enough 600mg pills to last 60 days.
Of course, I only needed it for 2 or 3 days, after which we kept the
pills around for my wife's headaches (she gets really bad ones, but they
aren't always migraines).

Of course, anything to pay less taxes :)
Sorry though, the next language I want to learn is Italian. I was
looking at software packages like "Rosetta Stone", but the reviews I
read made me think that a live instructor would be a better option.

Yes, I do believe it. The doses I quoted are for "over the counter" usage. A
doctor can prescribe greater doses as he sees fit.

Sounds like tendonitis or RSI. Actually I have a similar problem with my left
thumb ATM. It is really painful.

My wife says that the pink Migraleve are very good. I don't get headaches so I
don't have any personal experience.

Indeed. The Kat also holds a doctorate; unfortunately not of the medical
kind ;-) Whatever, she makes a damned fine nurse :-D
