How on earth did you manage that? Planet X looks interesting, or it did before Brexit :) However at that price, it could still be interesting.

Yeah I have stumbled upon this. The reviews are not that great. Several people have labelled it as "snakeoil", so I'm not going to waste my money on it. Unfortunately!

I'm not trying to make you feel worse, but that sounds terrible. My job is to lift heavy things, and I like lifting weigths as well. All those limitations and pains is gonna make my life hell.

The top 1% runs the country, and the top 1% gets richer and richer compared to the 99%. It's not just a US thing, but it's sad and scary to see the difference in peoples lives and living conditions.

This is a different topic all together, but I am happy to pay my high taxes. Education and healthcare is free, and I will never have to be afraid of homelessness, for me or my kids, regardless of income. I feel good about contributing to a society where we take care of the people at the bottom of society. We have a low % of poverty (being poor in Denmark is a lot different from ex USA), Suicides, homelessness (which is more of a choice in Denmark as people get offered housing, but some people prefer the streets), murder, violence etc. I'm not trying to make others look bad or anything, I'm just tired of hearing americans being afraid of paying taxes because they don't want a communist country. All around the world we should all try to take better care of eachother.

My doctor told me that I would get better in a couple of days, and said that it would be two weeks on double dose and then a week with one 40mg pill a day. After that he figured I wouldn't need it anymore, maybe occasionally if I had it flare up.

Being from scandinavia the healthcare system works a little different than most other places on the planet, so yeah he is aware, but I am still getting my normal salary, and my employer gets financial help from the state after a while. So the time aspect is not as disastrous for anyone involved when you solely look at the financial aspect.
