Walk a mile

The completion of the first run through of the RSS reader was last night just before Notre Dame started to get  their ass handed to them.. Checked the final tally of how many made the initial cut and that is over twelve hundred.. That seemed high and so I guess when I say I didn't have a number in mind as to how many I wanted to have it turns out over twelve hundred was still too many.. Knowing that my Twitter is likely closer to being maxed out lets me know that there are still just too many there, so a second run through will happen soon. With the streaming player now taking a lot of what I usually read here I think I will have that in mind when I redo the RSS reader..

Now a look into my thought process: Following are pictures of a couple of devices offered by Amazon..   The first here are the Thera Cane   (green)  followed by the Body Back Buddy.. They look quite similar when you look at them.. I first saw the Thera Cane and really looked at it with quite serious interest and was sure this would be a good buy.. At the time moms back was really in bad shape hurting her from a fall she took in September and I thought if I got this thing with the idea of it being for me that maybe I could convince her to try to use it.. (she never did)  But looking at the message points they all are the same type, rounded.. But still they looked like the perfect device to do that pressure point message thing that everyone is starting to do.. Then ...

 ..the body back buddy was on the same page as one of those "if you like that you might be interested in this" type of things..  Initially I looked and thought "so what is the difference except for the second curve. But looking closer and ...

 .. The nobs that work the neck area were a HUGE plus.. My neck has developed a snapping that has generally gotten worse over the last three of four years.. With this thing I work the neck area..  When my back grabbed this past summer I used this for that as well.. Does it work??  I like to think so.. The number of  "nobs" on it isn't what got me (There are a few more)  it is the fact that they are different.. Some are pointed simulating the elbow, while the rounded ones simulate the thumb in a message..

 There is no place the BBB can't get into..    But I was thinking as I asked for it for Christmas last year, which is the better??  They both have the same good reviews on them, so it was just a matter of preference and I picked the BBB  mostly because of the number and variations of the nobs on it..

 They were nearly identical in price at around the twenty dollar range.. Strange how this year I looked at them and the price has doubled.. I was blown away.. But then you have to figure once people start to find out how good something is the demand goes way up and so does the price..
