I love Weeds, Dexter, Californication, Brotherhood, Nurse Jackie, The Tudors.
Weeds is Showtime, as is Dexter and Nurse Jackie.
Weeds is absolutely hilarious. So is Dexter. You need to grab Dexter from Season 1 and figure out what made Dexter this way. The season that just started is already an exciting heart stopper.
I am sorry you are in pain Cindy-Lou. I just went through a three to four week bout and got two SI joint injections yesterday. I am hoping for relief soon as I understand all about pain sucking big time.
Hang in there.

Well, it is Monday morning.....thank God. And thank you for all the encouragement. I really do appreciate it. :thumpup: My appt. w/ my pain management doctor is at 8:45 a.m., this morning, so I will keep you all abreast of how it goes, and if we can come up with some solution to give me more pain relief. I have become "an official chair sitter" which I cannot stand.Maybe the doc can offer me plan B, a life worth living, with manageable pain.
