Thank You Everyone
Hi everyone!It's been way too long since my last post and I plan to
get everyone completely caught up, but we first want to thank
everyone, our friends, family, work friends, neighbors, for their
kindness, e-mails, calls, well-wishes, prayers, etc. We especially
want to thank everyone for the meals and the very generous
anonymous gift from "friends" of a Super Suppers Meal and generous
gift card to Super Suppers! We have been so touched by every one's
kindness and help and generosity while I recover!For those of you

the Wood County Youth Olympics in March by the Wood County

Spinal decompression devices watch your back
Fitness stores sell a variety of spinal decompression/traction
devices -- inversion tables and ankle boots that hang you upside
down and stretch out your back -- on the promise that they help
relieve back pain, enhance general back fitness, provide deep
relaxation and maybe even slow age-related height shrinkage. The

dehydration of the soft disks that separate your vertebrae.
