I have been having crazy back issues as of late. Probably sciatica because it travels down my leg but JEEZ I'm too young for back pain
I get it too, sometimes, can't stand up and twice I've spent the day in a wheelchair.
Been good this summer though, touch wood.
I would say go see a doctor, but I never have (not about the back).
Not much fun, is it?

ha de ha!
Not really, i've never been into dressing up animals in human fashions.
I wonder if I could get a tiny fez though?
If you Google "Penn State Squirrel" you'll find all about Sneezy, the stylish Penn State squirrel!
There is an animal-loving student at Pennsylvania State University who has befriended several of the squirrels. The squirrels are remarkably tame. She makes little hats for them and posts pictures of the squirrels in their hats! Her pictures have been picked up by newspapers all over the world!
I wonder how hard it would be to find someone to make a little tortoise sized fez for Tidgy...:p

Squirrels are weird.
Shouldn't be too difficult, i'll have a think.

One of our forum members has worked with both ostriches and emus. He says an ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain, and you can tell!
Emus, however, he says can be really sweet and easy to work with. :p

I've never encountered emus, other than a peek at the zoo, but i have spent a bit of time with ostriches.
They are, indeed, incredibly stupid, but rather amusing and curious (in both senses) animals.

I'm GREAT with blood! Though I do seem to be an exception these days, and no, back pain is awful and I hate going to the doctor on my days off haha
Yes, it's not so bad if it means a day off work.
Trouble is, i don't work.

I think women are tougher than men when it comes to illnesses and ailments, but not necessarily good if there's a lot of blood.
We learned something really interesting about both gender resilience and racial resilience when my sister was pregnant with twins.
The doctor told her that twins are almost always somewhat premature in their development, regardless of how long the pregnancy is, because of the shared nutrition and probably other reasons we don't fully understand. Obviously, when babies are premature, some have problems, but some don't. The problems in prematures babies generally involves breathing (the lungs are among the LAST organs to fully develop) and the brain (which continues to develop for another 12 years or so.)

The neonatology specialist said that neonatologists the world over have observed the same phenomena in regards to premature but otherwise healthy babies. The female babies of African descent have the LEAST likelihood of having developmental problems, if ANY. Caucasian female babies are next least likely to have problems. Baby boys of African descent tend to have more problems than either of the female groups and Caucasian boys are the most likely to have problems.
No one has a clear explanation for this, but it is apparently seen over, and over, and over again all over the world.

Happily, my sister's twin boys turned out just fine and are now bright, robust 16-year olds! :)
