Onomatopoeia
Oh, for sure.
Even though there are numerous easy to switch to, more private, robust, platform agnostic, and synchronizing apps out there.
It’s arguable that even Telegram is more private than SMS.
I’m mostly willing to use whatever someone has, provided it’s not one of the great offenders like WhatsApp. While I don’t care for Signal (mostly becuase it doesn’t have desktop sync, yet), I’ll happily use it with anyone who has it. Or Teleguard, Telegram, XMPP (my preferred), etc.
First, let’s clarify that when docs say a joint is arthritic, they usually mean it’s showing signs of significant inflammation (osteoarthritis), which is a very different thing than Rheumatoid Arthritis - RA is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system is degrading normal tissue. If you haven’t been diagnosed with RA, then they’re referring to OA, or inflammation.
All of us have some osteoarthritis as we age, I we probably have varying levels of OA in different joints at any given time.
There’s a phrase “motion is the lotion” - meaning keeping active is key to preventing joint issues.
Joints don’t like inactivity, I’d guess largely because cartilage isn’t vascular (it lacks a blood supply), so requires a different mechanism to keep it hydrated and fed. That occurs via motion: the action of moving a joint, applying pressure and releasing pressure, moves synovial fluid through cartilage, keeping it hydrated and flexible.
So keep moving.
Lol, love it.
Woodstock as usual, yelling at Snoopy. He’s a red shirt - I’m going to assume he’s a TNG or later red shirt…or just being Scotty on ToS.
