Clicking on that link takes you the question section, not to your entries. I suggest that if you want advice on a goal from others who have achieved it, make your question specific. I used to think drinking coffee was the same as drinking water because it contains it, but it’s not. Neither is drinking beer, unfortunately.

I do hope your spinal situation improves. I go to a chiropractor and he’s helped me a lot.

I seem to get this a lot in general irl anyways.

My point was not “oh no, the question didn’t link to my entry”, my point was “gee, the question box was so teeny tiny that I didn’t feel I had a lot of room to be specific”.

You just finely illustrated the other nuances of my post where readers miss the subtleties I failed to make blunt because they are reading rather quickly to begin with.

Or maybe again, it’s what people tell me—that I am inclined to begin in the middle of a thought, even the middle of a sentence, and work out to the ends :P
