No matter, the cost of the ER will be worth it in the long run if it can get him healthy.

OK, now I feel like a bit of a jerk...I guess I wasn't very sympathetic toward him, but it's hard for me to feel a lot of sympathy for this complaint (back pain) coming from him as he basically has a desk job, while I am 40 years old and work at least 6 (usually 7) days a week doing physical labor, and back pain is pretty much something I deal with every day. Unfortunately, since my job doesn't provide health insurance, going to the doctor for a little pain isn't an option.....

When I was 11, my dad was addicted to the chiropractor regularly and when I pulled something in my back playing baseball he made me go. I couldn't walk the rest of the summer that guy fucked me up so bad. If I'd just waited a few days, I'dve been fine.

The Be Good Tanyas will have a new album October 10th. Finally. Frazey Ford had a baby. That's why there was such a long break. Though really, a lot of bands go longer than three and a half years without an album. So back off.

Oh, if only that were the reason. But my dad was addicted to Dristan at one point too. And he used to write down the mileage of everywhere he went. It's been fun.

And yeah, back off. First equating Samantha Parton to Sheryl crow then saying Chinatown was worse than Blue Horse, then saying they broke up. My life's been traumatic enough. Refer to the above paragraph. My father is a recovering Dristan fiend. You take that one day at a time.

My Mom was addicted to that shit for about 10 years. And she could never admit that she had a problem.
