Growth of PDA injuries a concern for companies
Growth of PDA injuries a concern for companies - Yahoo! News (U.S.A. Today)
P.D.A. injury is an issue for many of us. I can tell when I'm using my Palm too much. I especially get into trouble - after work, in front of the T.V. - when I get over-involved with my Solitaire games. (It's hard on the Palm batteries, too!)
How many of us have suffered from too much keyboarding? How about "mouse finger"? (Too many mouse clicks!)
Yeah, yeah. I know about all this stuff, I've had all of the above. Had tendinitis bad enough to send me to the doctor. Even more than once.
(My tendons got battered from my piano-playing as well, but that's another matter, in the distant past, and aside and separate from these new-technology issues... Before these new-technology issues even existed!)
I fend off more of these injuries with stopping before I get sore, and with giving my hands a rest. Taking Ibuprofen (sp?) when needed for its anti-inflammatory effect. Stretching and exercises for your arms and hands are very helpful. Cold therapy is good when your hands start getting sore and "throbby."
And, be sure to see your doctor if you get worse, or it doesn't go away! I found that going straight to a specialist helped me most. My family doctor just kept giving me anti-inflammatories, even a cortisone shot. Didn't do the job, not at all. I was much better off going to sports-medicine doctors, who gave me wrist braces and exercises/stretches.
I've been fine for a long time, happily. A big part of it is knowing when to stop. I continue the exercises and stretches, too.
Which reminds me, it's getting close to time to stop. ; ) Time to wrap up my computer work and go do something else. My hands are starting to "talk to me" a little, if you know what I mean, and odds are you do.

Nancy Pelosi
Bush, Pelosi to bury the hatchet - Yahoo! News (AP)
(It's good that the two of them are off to a positive start.)
Whatever your politics, however you voted, whatever your opinion of Nancy Pelosi, you have to admit that it's cool to have a woman be the Speaker of the House. An historical first.
Note that Pelosi raised five boys - handling the House shouldn't be much of a stretch for her... ; )

Massive recall of acetaminophen underway
Massive recall of acetaminophen underway - Yahoo! News (AP)
As the article says, you might want to check your medicine cabinets.
On the personal front, I'll have to ask my husband if he was busy removing these pills today (he works in a CVS pharmacy). Jeez, it's bad enough "Big Pharm" is troubled on account of the election, then this...
Forgive me - but what a pain.
Anyway, be safe, check your "generic Tylenol" made by Perrigo. Even old pills are at risk. Check the FDA links and other extra info in this linked article.

SALES & FEATURES : For Women Old Enough... : CafePress.com
SALES & FEATURES : For Women Old Enough... : CafePress.com
Oh my, what a day for a CafePress shopkeeper!
I woke up to find a CafePress announcement about a whole bunch of new colors and merchandise having been added overnight. (I had not a clue that it was coming...!)
So, while overwhelming, the news is good. These are some great additions.
New merchandise - lots for women. New "long sleeve wear." New colors.
You'll find some examples linked above in the "Sales & Features" section on the storefront of the "For Women Old Enough..." store. Take a look.
What's new, in a nutshell:
= White Women's Long Sleeve T-Shirt
= Women's Dark Long Sleeve T-Shirt, coming in Black or Brown (!)
= Men's Long Sleeve Dark T-Shirt, coming in Black (The Steve Jobs look? ; ) or in Navy
= the Men's White Long Sleeve T-Shirt, already present, now coming also in Ash Grey
= the already-present Men's Dark T-Shirt, now coming in Black, Red, (the following, italicized, is brand-new) Navy, or Khaki Green
= Women's Dark T-Shirt, at present available only in Black.
Wow. Yeah...
Look for many more additions in "Sales & Features" here and throughout the store. (I'd like to add more graphics for black/dark wear as well...).
Yes, all this is happening in my "numero uno" store (a.k.a. Music Stuff & More) as well, for you of a musical bent.
Hope you had a fun Halloween, and have a good Election. (I've already voted - I always vote.)
