My back has been killing me lately. Not only do I have to deal with my pain I have to deal with a doubting wife who thinks it a phantom pain. I am about to get my phantom round house kick on.

Relax The General Is Here
Welcome To The Front
I started this blog, because it seems that I have to fight battles everyday. Some times they are funny and other times difficult. I hope you enjoy hearing stories from the front line of the battles I am fighting every day.
Word of the Day
Wilks
To form a fist and violently thrust it into a the face of one the dealer is in hostility with.
I wilksed Johnny when he took my bicycle.

Phrase of the Day
Never Never Land
Meaning: A utopian dreamland.
Origin
The term 'never-never land' is now usually applied with a sense of dismissiveness - used when someone is dreaming unrealistically about a utopian future.
Never Never Land is a real place though. The name was first recorded, in the late 19th century, describing the uninhabited regions of Australia - then called just 'The Never-Never'. The more remote outback regions of the Northern Territory and Queensland are still known by that name. This is as much a state of mind and a folk-memory that recalls the pre-settlement outback life with fondness as it is a precise geographical location.

here is the article that gets into phantom pain and what it stems from (labor pains after the birth would definitely constitute phantom pain). the only pain i said Recondo could get some sympathy for could be the back pain. it is the other pains that come from out of nowhere that confuse me (and him sometimes), so wouldn't it be interesting if they were phantom...
