Opinions Wanted

I think I've found my new career.  I know what I want to do with the rest of my life.  I want to become a Professional Focus Group Participant.  What a great way to make a living.  Going to meetings and sharing your opinion.  Can you think of a better way to make money?  I participated in my first tonight.  I "worked" for 90 minutes, sharing my opinion on a website and got paid $50 for my efforts.  Where else can you get paid for telling someone what you think??  If there's one thing I became proficient at in my 25 years on the Force, its attending meetings!  So that's the easy part.  And tonight I didn't have to know how to create a website, or how to do anything technical.  I just had to have an opinion...and you know what they say... opinions are like assholes...everyone's got one!!  And I like to share mine whenever asked...especially when I'm being paid!!   And yeaaaaa, sometimes even when I'm not ;)

WHAT I LEARNED TODAY:  Even a 50 year old body can benefit from physio...  I really thought that I would have seen my last physiotherapist last March when I had "shoulder issues".  Imagine my surprise when that same issue reared it's ugly head again a few weeks back.  How could I suffer any strain injuries when I'm not even working??  How can one hurt themselves doing NOTHING??  Oh well, after several visits, I didn't think I was going to respond at all  the treatment.  I didn't seem to be making an progress at all...and the only thing that's changed since March is...I'm another year older now.   I have very mixed feelings about the usefulness of this type of therapy anyway... and now that I have limited medical coverage, my tolerance for any long drawn out treatment plans is even less.  But, today I am pleased to say, I'm finally seeing results.  Another couple of appointments and I expect I'll be good as new...okay, okay, good as old...but good none the less!!
