FYI, I'm on no sleep, in some pain from my old neck/shoulder stuff that acts up, and totally stressed out from election coverage.

So.

I'll keep my posting to a minimum, unless something breaks, of course.

We'll be at the new digs building stuff (well, Mr. Laffy will build, I'll be watching in pain), so that'll ease some of the stress.

So when I don't reply, please understand that I'm taking time off.

I read everything though... except the few I miss because of high volume of replies.

@GottaLaff
Rest. We'll still be here when you get back.
@MichelleRNCHPN I know. But people don't see my toot, and keep replying as if I'm going to answer back.
@GottaLaff
I presume, the rest of us can only see the tip of the iceberg you are dealing with. I am amazed at the volume of news, information and yes, BS, you can handle in a day.

@MichelleRNCHPN LOL, thank you that's true.

And yes, it's worse than I show you guys.

@GottaLaff @MichelleRNCHPN
The first rule of social media is
The second rule of social media is

Don’t expect a reply

And if someone does

They are usually the reply guy.

As David Allen says, treat social media like a cocktail party, jump into the conversation now and then and jump out.

@schmubba @MichelleRNCHPN I disagree. It's called "social" for a reason. But your take applies too.

@GottaLaff @MichelleRNCHPN

I see what you mean.

I enjoy having multiple ways to look at things. There is merit to be had by each approach.

Kinda cool that I get to reply and be respectful of your perspective at the same time. Win win.

@schmubba Because you’re civil, friendly, and make sense. 👊🏼 @MichelleRNCHPN

@GottaLaff

I listened to some Patti Smith yesterday and it helped with the rage/stress. Have a good day.

@GottaLaff if it makes you feel better, my wife and I voted for Harris/Walz early via drop box.
@GottaLaff
Notice your pain.
Feel your pain.
But please don't judge your pain.
Let the pain pass.
@5klp471 Lol, I use that very meditation.
@GottaLaff Pamper yourself a good long while. You go through so much stressful, gross, and terrifying news. Takes a toll on mind and body. ❤️
@sandsoftime5050 That is so true. Thank you.
@GottaLaff Rest, we'll be here when you feel better.
@GottaLaff Don't reply. I just hope you feel better soon. You're the sanity in this crazy country. We need you.

@GottaLaff

Sounds bad. Take care, and hope things get better soon. ❤️

@jztusk Had it since '94, but it's bad this week.

@GottaLaff

When your body has a specific pain/injury that is old enough to drink 🙄.

@GottaLaff

Take care of yourself, my lovely friend. We are all sending you love and healing (well except maybe the reply guys, but eff those dudes!) We will be fine here until you return. 🫶🫂

@KimberlyN Hugs and thanks, Kim!
@GottaLaff Take care of yourself - get a massage if you can for the pain. I highly recommend it!
@caryn I've done everything since 1994. Nothing helps, even massages. Just heat, Advil, maybe a half a Valium

@GottaLaff @qurlyjoe

We (your awestruck and grateful readers everywhere ) send healing thoughts. And thanks…

@GottaLaff take care. No reply necessary. As others have said- there’s nothing that can’t wait. The news cycle changes so fast that you can’t catch it all (and shouldn’t)anyway. It’s too toxic. Self care first and foremost! ❤️❤️❤️
@GottaLaff Try roll-on Arnica/Tiger Balm, helps inflammation. Also I have painful sciatic issues, and roll-on Frankincense is amazing. Feel better. 💐

@bahamamama I've used everything. Nothing works but good old fashioned heat, Advil and maybe a Valium for muscle relaxation.

But thanks.

I've been dealing with this since 1994

@GottaLaff ❤️get some well deserved rest, hon

@GottaLaff you're great and I appreciate your work to help us stay informed, but no obligation to respond and definitely no deadlines on responses

Hope pain is receding and cabinet is proceeding

@lufthans Thank you! Very kind.
@GottaLaff
Robaxin is OTC in Canada. It is very effective in many cases. Worth looking into.

@GottaLaff Hope you feel better real soon❣️
@Penny_G Penny!! Thank you so much.
@GottaLaff Yikes! I had the same thing a few years back. I thought I had to get surgery, but luckily, I treated it the old-fashioned way, e.g., with PT and medication. Take care of yourself!
@normalguy Top USC surgeon told me to just do what I do, it would be worse WITH surgery.
@GottaLaff
Good luck, enjoy your much-needed rest

@zendao42 That was yesterday.

Didn't exactly rest, just took time offline.

But thanks!
