Re: Floatation Tanks...John Lilly

["PageRox" <PageRox93>]

THANKYOU, Mitch!

I know of those. I think I wouldn't like it though, I think it might make the
blood rush to my head and I'd get more ding-y than I already AM! ;-)

Thanks for the clarification though! :-D

XO-Glenna

  An inversion table is a thing where you lie on a table, clamp your ankles in
some braces,
  and then the table tilts so you are sort of hanging upside down by your
ankles.  It's
  good for decompressing the vertebrae and making your back feel better.  If
there's a
  Relax the Back store or the equivalent near where you live you may be able
to go in and
  try it for free.

  What's an inversion table? Do you mean 'immersion table'? 'Inversion table'
sounds like arithmetic!

  I've never tried any of those techniques so forgive me if it IS 'inversion
table' and I'm screwy!
  (Remember in the old Warner Bros. cartoons when someone--usually Bugs' or
Daffy's rival or a secondary character--acted...well...screwy!--that a little
guy would come walking thru the cartoon, holding a sign with a drawing of a
big screw (not "THE" Big Screw---that's a different matter entirely and not
sophisticated enough for a WB cartoon, so get yer mind out of the
gutter!!....or is it m-m-me?!)
  Anyway, they'd come thru w/a sign with a picture of a big screw with a '+'
sign and a picture of a baseball. Anybody a WB fan here and remember that?!
LOL!

  I just love old WB cartoons...my ex was like Bugs Bunny, I swear. Sometime
I'll tell you the many reasons why!

  Inversion table, huh....WOTTHEHELL IS IT?!
  Thanks--I like to learn something new every day!

  PS: AND, I'm not shy to say this either:
  WHO is John Lilly? Any relation to Eli and his big drug company? (Proud
maker of Methadone, Prozac, and Valium! My, what a resume! ;-)
