I admit it ...
I like bobble heads and have started collecting them. So far, I have an Emmitt Smith, a Dirk Novitski and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

Lens, you are too funny!
I didn't think you were talking about someone with a nerve disorder! I swear I'm LOL at that comment!

Well
I should clarify. I'm talking about head-wiggling as a mannerism, not as a result of a nerve disorder. The people I'm talking about usually like to rub their hands together, too, while they're wiggling their heads, like my grade 8 math teacher... Fascinating to watch...

And then there are the real, live bobble-heads. You know those people whose heads wiggle while they're talking to you? Makes you want to get them in a head-lock, or something....lol

Of course, some of the athletes and celebrities that have their own bobble-heads really have heads that big, so maybe the concept isn't quite so ridiculous.

Actually, some bobble heads are amazingly life-like.
And they make a great Christmas gift, too.

If I may say anything about the person who have really provoked you is that, he is a nice guy. I suspect he just wants to appear sensational. PLease don't follow him down that route. He has also left me some two days ago somthing I never expected. However, I have chosen to ignore and do nonetheless read his post and leave comments. PLease do not be angry. We all have enough problems to allow somebody add more. Stay well and God Bless.

Bobble heads and clowns, Young Miss. Both need to be eradicated.
When I saw Stephen King's "It" I thought it was a documentary. God knows what would happen if I happened to see walking, talking, evil laughing bobble heads. I'd probably wind up sitting in the corner of a padded motel room sucking my thumb.

But Spiffie,
Bobble heads are so keeeyuute. I remember them from back in high school. They get a really nice hoppin an' a boppin going when about ten of them are on the back shelf of a low rider that has been so dropped that it has almost no springs. Ever see the one with the skull head and the electric light eyeballs? I just don't know if I could go on without them.
I was thinking about inventing some that do every variety of sex imaginable while boinging. I mean BJs, gay sex, straight sex, osculating, fornicating, hand jobs, tongue jobs...the whole works. That would be a true collector's item for Ebay riches. Good idea, huh?

I hear ya loud and clear, JJ, and couldn't agree more.
Now, back to the subject of this post, how about doing the same thing for the inventors of bobble heads and other mentioned creepy things? I think along the same terms of the insurance people is appropriate, yes?

Spiff,
Good to hear that about the MRI. X-rays are pretty much worthless for soft tissue diagnosis. MRIs don't always pick it up real well either, but there is at least some chance of detecting a problem.
The health insurance situation in this country really needs to be turned upside down, shaken, kicked, beaten, have fat wallets shoved up a few asses, and insurance company executives welded into their Mercedes with thousands of tropical ants. Then, after untreated patients' families roll them in cactus and beat them with sticks, send them to hospitals and tell them ''Sorry. Not covered. Self-infliction clause on page 69 of your policy.'' jj

JJ, my love,
I appreciate the advice. And no, I haven't picked anything up over 5 pounds lately. I've learned my lesson. Besides, Doc won't let me. He practically follows me around asking, "what are ya doing? Where are you going?"
But, I DID get semi good news today!!! I went to my Dr. for a "follow up" visit and in a nutshell, I told him that I know it's not he is not the reason I have been denied an MRI. He assured me it certainly wasn't. SO, he gave me a referral to an orthopedic doctor who will again, take x-rays, but will also order an MRI and I'll most certainly GET IT!!! Woo Hoo!!! FINALLY!!

Spiff,
K, I'll see if I can keep them away from you, but they are taking over the world. It's really a case of being in a mind-bobbling situation.
I was just reading a couple of your blogs I missed. Is your back getting any better? I sure hope so. If you pick up another case of dog food get some kind of setup where you can do it while hanging by your knees. Traction works a lot better than compression when you have disk problems, which is what it sounds like you have. Just be real careful. Weather changes from summer to winter always seem to be the worst time. Barometric change is probably the main cause. Mostly just stay real careful with anything that affects your back. jj

Dearest spiffie,
Haven't you heard about why they call those things bobble-heads? The nuveau rich guy who invented them did it as a joke. He said, ''Well, they're for bubble-heads, let's call them bobble-heads.'' It caught on like a bubble in a hurricane.
We really should let that group of people have their fun. It helps keep them da-fuk away from the rest of us. Their heads are growing? Well, isn't that natural for a bubble-head? jj
