<\/p>\nYesterday, I didn’t need the TENS unit for my back. So I jumped in and used it on my shoulders, which have been complaining lately. A couple of hours when I got up, and then I left the pads in place and did another hour in the evening, I don’t often have the luxury to skip the back, so I wanted to get as much as I could (and it’s very awkward to place the pads for where inside the shoulder the pain is, so it makes sense to leave them in place.) I did feel much better. I also got my forms filled out and scanned for requesting to visit Virgil next Sunday. I can’t sent the email till today … but I may just have sent it a little after midnight. I also inventoried and ordered over the counter meds. And I even finished knitting a vest.<\/p>\n

\nQuote – You can\u2019t work together in a small body like the U,S. Senate as Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell have, and not get to know each other pretty well. As Biden weaves his way through a deadlocked Senate, requiring VP Kamala Harris to cast tie breaking votes, it becomes crystal clear that Biden paid a whole lot closer attention to McConnell than McConnell did to Biden.

\nQuote – “Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Pepe LePew cartoons featured bestiality, people (or ducks) getting shot in the face with a shotgun, and stalking\/sexual assault.”….\u201cWhen we were younger, we watched cartoons about a French skunk who raped female cats which was totally fine because he was heterosexual.\u201d

\nBuzzFeed News – One Bullet Can Kill, But It Takes More Than 100 People To Save A Gunshot Victim\u2019s Life<\/a>
\nQuote – More often than not in Philadelphia, it\u2019s a police officer who transports a gunshot victim to the hospital in what\u2019s called a \u201cscoop and run,\u201d which eliminates the time waiting for a paramedic. Gun violence is so prevalent that Sgt. Gregorrio Santiago said he takes part in a scoop and run nearly every day. After \u201cscooping\u201d the gunshot victim into the backseat of a cruiser, police will alert hospital workers to be ready at the entrance to immediately put the victim on a stretcher. Philadelphia\u2019s scoop-and-run program means more gunshot victims make it to the hospital alive, Santiago said.
