"The rhyme starts with eenie, meanie, minie, mo..." came to my mind immediately. One day my kindergarten daughter & son happily said it together shocking the heck out of me. Which showed as I told them to never use that "word" again! They then looked startled and confused. I don't remember...

So true, Paco. This also goes for non-physically painful, but mentally fearful stressors.

I'm reminded of an answer a contestant on a T V game show gave to: ""What is something that can make the earth move?" She answered, "Heavy rain." :ROFLMAO:

First 3 wheel adult tricycle stollen from back of house. (Tricycle for balance reasons) I have no car and it was my FREEDOM to go to places too far to walk at any time, like take my little grandson to beach in the tricycle's back basket the days I cared for him. Basket for carrying a load of...

I feel certain about it, which prevents worrying about it.

Some medications worsen shaking/tremors. Some meds used to slow/stop it give some help, but along with awful side effects. People who take it anyway, will take another med to fix those side effects. On and on it goes.

First, I had to start using a recliner because I would develop a feeling stuffiness up in the back of my nose when lieing flat in bed and be unable to sleep, hense the recliner for sitting up. Stuffiness not so bad now, (since avoiding high histamine foods), however I developed very swollen...
