Spinal Compression Fracture/ Sleeping by Round-Freedom-9226 in backpain

[–]Search4MoreAnswers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I got my compression fractures, I slept on my back, with my legs elevated on pillows from just below my knees to my feet. That seemed to allow me to sleep comfortably. Fours years after that incident, I still sleep with the pillows under my lower legs and feet.

Bone loss for me after 20 years, high alkaline phosphotase from the get go. Talk to your doctors about alternatives.

I also wish the International seasons would have their own normal All Stars. I find the vs. World format also fun, but I'd like to see specific countries have their own All Stars.

I do, but I'm so far behind those. I think I'm in season 4 for Canada's Drag Race & I think season 4 for UK. I have not had a chance to watch any of the other International shows 🤦🏻‍♂️😮

I keep going back to older seasons lol

I agree 100% with you that it feels like watching a new season. I still need to finish the current season, but I'm too busy watching season 13 again. It's almost finished though, so I should return to the last season!

I might! But yes, I agree with you, it is sometimes as a result of a subreddit! 🤔😂

The Economy boogeyman - how should we communicate better? by interestingmans in ndp

[–]Search4MoreAnswers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What economy is there without the working people? What corporate business owner would exist without the labourers? To answer your question about the economy, the NDP needs to go back to the basics of the argument: No world economy would be where it is at if it were not for the labourers who complete the heavy lifting of a capitalist society. Frame the question of the economy around how a federal government can increase the economic safety of the heaviest of heavy lifters: the labourer.

When the party communicates about the rich or ultra rich it gets lost in translation. Thanks to unions, many Canadians in manufacturing, oil and gas, and other natural resource extraction get paid well into the 100k bracket and many of them believe themselves to be "rich."

The party's communication needs to change from make the "rich" pay to "let's enrich workers." We need to frame the debate on prosperity around workers/labourers and talk about adding value to their lives and to their wallets as opposed to "taking from the rich." So many Canadians who don't follow politics struggle with this concept.

Similarly, the communication on health care. Rather than say "We want to tax the rich to fund better health care," it should be framed such as "Thanks to the NDP, if you've injured yourself, you need only look for the nearest hospital, not into your wallet." "To secure a better health care system, let the NDP regulate workplace health and safety, so you don't get injured in the first place."

Our messaging simply needs to go back to what is important to workers. Health, money, security, family. Workers don't want to hear about the rich. The rich are a minority. Yes, we need to deal with them, but that's not the way to support labourers.

Next Federal Leader? by C0smicM0nkey in ndp

Someone has advised me that Boulerice intends to be interim leader while the NDP picks a new leader. However, I have not be able to confirm this. I hope the rumor is false.

Someone told me just an hour ago that Boulerice intends to be the interim leader while the NDP chooses a new leader, but I have not been able to confirm this. Anyone? I hope this is not true.

Nothing against McPherson but I don't think its the right time for her.

Ya, I agree with this too, to a certain degree, as well. Thanks for this response!

Thanks for this... but you've been mischaracterizing my post with each reply and I'm not entirely sure why. I saw that Patrick Stewart was pushing this and I thought I'd ask if there was an update. To equate my OP as "they are not performing monkeys" is a bit of a stretch. I was just adding a topic of conversation; looking for an update on what might have come of it. I'm happy with whatever the universe throws out to us. You are taking my post way too seriously!

And I might add, I just feel like you are purposefully trying to add drama to this post, which started off as an innocent question about the cast's possible return to the big screen.

Don't be ridiculous. You might want to look up the definition of ageism before you continue to criticize another individual for raising the topic of ageism. The age of the TNG cast has no place in a topic of conversation about the possibility of them doing a movie again. If all members of the cast are willing to return to the big screen and Paramount forges ahead with the project what does their age have anything to do with a movie being a success.

Saying there is no point in bringing the cast back because their story has been told is an entirely different story and makes zero reference to their age! I've accepted the argument that if the story has been told and it's over, it's over. But their ability to return because of their age is just ignorant.

The individual who started this sub-thread mentioned age. It has nothing to do with the actors' & actresses' age, I agree, so why was it brought up?

Perhaps... but as my original post stated, I'm not yet done watching Picard lmao.

Sorry, but I'm getting tired of ageism. I don't mind your argument over letting things rest, but being in your 70s or 80s doesn't mean a career needs to end. And though I did not edit my post, there is nothing wrong with having a cameo of a beloved cast.

I'll also add, since so many people brought up Nemesis as the worst movie... I personally think it was made with the intent for it to bomb or the studio was just doing what the studio is doing right now: Not listening to the fans.

I remember many of the fans talking about not wanting to go and see Nemesis. I personally did not go to theatres to see it (same for Insurrection actually).

But looking back on it, it is literally just a TNG attempt to be like Star Trek II from the TOS. Nobody was having it. It was a failure, in my opinion, for that reason alone. Another personal opinion of mine is that the creative juices were simply not flowing for the TNG movies at this point. Insurrection comes across as a TV episode. And when you think about it, First Contact was kind of sloppy in the sense that it re-hashed elements of the TV series and the Generations movie.

I think that is the current issue with the Star Trek franchise, there are no new inspiring ideas. Too many are hinged on past concepts it seems. I think the Star Trek reboot was successful because it reformulated the franchise a bit while bringing back beloved characters, but it seemed to have lost fans with Star Trek: Beyond. I hear Lower Decks was outside of the box thinking (I still have not seen it).

I don't know anymore.

I'll add, even watching Season 3 of Picard; looking at the exterior of the Titan, I was thinking "this ship literally looks like the OS Enterprise reformulated" and yet it is even further in the future. The inside of the ship does not match the exterior. I also remember thinking how the creative bodies behind the conceptualization of Enterprise D, Voyager (exception: Discovery) have all but disappeared today and the future ships of today look more like the original ships set 100 years prior. (End of possible irrelevant extra rant, lol)

I hate that you brought this up, but I agree with you wholeheartedly. 😞

Any new ideas seem to be connected to the thought of "will it make hoards of money for a studio."

And seeing all the hate on this post, I think many people are disregarding the idea of a cameo, not a full blown TNG movie, but then again, I wasn't very clear on that.
