Keep a sieve on this, and later keep a cloth on the sieve so that it gets moistened with the warm fumes coming from the medicated solution.

I have suffered from chronic back pain for three years now. I am 31, not overweight, and did not have an injury! I had disc replacement surgury on L4-5 about a year and a half ago with no success. Discography shows that the L5-S1 is not healthy and may be the cause of continued pain. In the past few months I have developed left leg pain and numbness with very bad hip pain as well. This stabbing in my left side (on the back) has just happened and is just aweful when I wake up in the morning. No position helps! Is this a muscle? I can locate it straight away with my left hand reaching back and it hurts to the touch. Any ideas?

My friend told me some stories, it is said that if you keep saying for fun this girl or that girl is your wife, sooner or later she will become your wife, is this an urban legend or myth or is this for real??

I downloaded the iStat Pro widget today, and I looked at the battery health section. It read that my battery health is at 97% after 230 cycles. I’ve had it since June ‘08, so I was wondering if that was a good battery health considering its age and cycles.
What else can I do to improve my battery health, or keep it at a good percent, over the years? Any suggestions?
