Aside from back rubbers and elbows to the head, sexual harassment, et al... anyone who's too 'touchy-feely' gives me the creeps. Speaking of 'the creeps', I just went through a windy NOAA Tornado Watch - one touched down about 15 minutes away from here. They say it has passed, but, our daytime high of 74 degrees F went down to 70 in an hour... I had to take out each dog, one at a time, on the training collar we have. Weather doesn't bother our female, but, our male hates bad weather. May this week be stress-free, and glorious for everyone - on Wednesday, I get to pick up my fiancee at the airport. Super-duper! Peace & Love, everyone - LW

Dude... there was this one time when I was standing in a queue at a gas station when someone behind me tickled the back of my neck with their fingernails.

Turned out to be my (then) wife's friend from the apartment complex we lived in at the time.

That was her greeting? It was far too intimate for me and I stayed far away from that woman every chance I could from then on.

Fortunately, we moved to another part of town shortly thereafter.

... seriously, it kind of creeped me out, like she was a predator coming in for the kill.
 
Someone creeped me out at Kroger today, they asked me how I was doing and if I remembered them. Playing along I said 'hi...and you're?' And they said they remembered me from the doctor's office. That's odd since I haven't been to a doctor since I was 15 years old, and don't believe in doctors today.

Proselytizing probably.

I've had similar things happening in the UK, at supermarkets, malls, in the street. Stranger comes up, asks how you're doing, makes out that he/she knows you, you play along, then they're going on about how Jesus saved their life.....OK ...the doctor's surgery thing is just a standard spiel they might use. After all many people do go to doctors.

I've seen enough doctors...because I have to have a full medical every year, not because I want to, but because the govt. insists on it.

Doesn't anyone know the distinction between pedal and peddle anymore?
A peddler - one who peddles - is either the old Yankee type that sold everything from thread to hardware from his cart, or a snake-oil salesman.

Someone who rides a mountain bike like the proverbial bat, uses a PEDAL. He/she pedals it.

I see a lot peddle (machines use a pedal) in sewing fora, but now it's starting to turn up in blogs and headlines.
Bamboo bike recharges mobile devices, external batteries by peddling. Headline from Science Daily

What's the bike selling?

Even if you don't believe in them, they still exist. :p

But I'm with you, I make every excuse not to go to the doctor unless I absolutely have to. My last physical was in 2009. I've been back since then for an ulcer problem and for an ear infection. Before that, the only time that I required a doctor's service was when I took the tip of my thumb off with a table saw.
 
The last physical I had was for high school sports back in the sixties. I did go to the doctor a couple of decades ago to have a rip in my arm stitched. It's not that I have anything against the medical profession, I just have managed to stay healthy.
 
I agree
no need to fix what aint broke...
plus...it's a mind over matter thing
Don't know...therefor....it doesn't exist....
on a side note,,,I DONT WANT TO LIVE TO BE 100...plus
so of course I will!! My boys tease me I'll be an earth worm looking thingy cuz I don't want to live to a ripe old age!!


I'm not afraid of death
or anything reasonable for that matter
but bridges??? now thats a different story:/
