[Kzyxtalk] Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio tonight! (was) Re: Inversion Table advice wanted.

[Marco McClean]

I have one. It needs all its foam rubber parts replaced, though; they're 
all corroded away to the nub with the passage of time. I can't get rid 
of it because it's a gift. Juanita got it for me like 25 years ago; I 
have to keep it. She'll ask about it one day and I'd better not have 
lost it nor sold it for a mess of pottage.

But, Alan, you ask about whether an inversion swing can help you with 
your back problem, and I have to say: watch out. I used it in the early 
nineties to help with back pain and ended up trapped like a rat in a 
trap, hanging upside down /unable to move/ from the blinding pain, in my 
newspaper office late at night. I honestly thought I was gonna die 
there, in sight of but not in reach of the phone.

The back doctor told me later, /never use anything like that if you're 
already in pain/. And certainly ask your real doctor first; don't count 
on advice from people on the listserv who, as I read daily, claim to 
restore female fertility and dispel cancer by sacred massage and cure 
depression in a horse with homeopathic crystal perfume oil. This is your 
real body we're talking about here; all of your important plumbing and 
wiring is in there. If you can afford to see a real doctor who graduated 
in real medicine from a real medical school, that's where to get informed.


IN OTHER NEWS: I'll be in Fort Bragg for tonight's MOTA radio show. If 
you want to talk about your project, or play your new song, or 
show-and-tell about the chemtrail you caught in your hankie, you can 
drop by 325 N. Franklin, next door to the Tip Top bar after 9pm and just 
wander in. Head for the lighted room at the back and you're safe and 
warm and on the air.

The deadline to email writing to be read on MOTA is always about 5 or 
6pm the night of the show. So you've got a little while to get that 
together for tonight. Just paste your poem or essay or kvetch or sale 
item or event notice or really whatever into the body of an email, check 
that it's going to memo at mcn.org and not to the whole group, unless 
that's what you want, and press /send/.

Besides that, you can have /your own whole regular real radio show of 
your own style and devising/ on KNYO. Contact Bob Young: 
bobb at poetworld.net and introduce yourself; he'll fix you up.

Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio: Every Friday, 9pm to 4 or 5am on 
107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg, and 105.1fm KMEC-LP Ukiah*. And also there 
and anywhere else via http://knyo.org or http://kmecradio.org and if 
none of that works for you try http://TuneIn.com and look up KNYO-LP.

(There's a personnel/tech issue slowly but surely being resolved over at 
KMEC. Like last week and the week before, they might not pick up my show 
until after midnight tonight, in progress. But KNYO, for sure, from 9pm 
until I conk out.)
