True enough, you often leave me gasping.

Fun fact: a man of 40 should have sex once every two weeks, a woman of 40 . . . once every three.

Even(good thing I am not 40)Odds
I'm going to be the lone dissenting voice on the board. I tried acupuncture and herbs to cure my snoring. They did not work. I tried them for several months. Looking back, I can see that I was having too much sex for the remedies to work.

Please note

I will not be attending any zombie pub crawls.

I will not be watching any "kitschy-fun" zombie movies, or attending any events related to same.

I will not be going to this place for drinks:

I disagree. I having the sex daily, if not more often, and also do acupuncture, which is working wonders-8 months ago I was a cripple not able to get around better than Tiny Tim and today I can walk again, almost as smoothly as Jesus across holy water. And a do a mean Samba, some spicy Salsa and a bit of bachata.

I am going to be a zombie coyote for one of my Halloween fetes but I chose that costume prior to having knowledge of the movie. Just a fan of zombie coyotes. Serious.ly.

Not the lone dissenting voice, although I haven't tried it myself, I am highly skpetical that there is anything other than placebo effect going on. But clearly I am talking out of my ass.

If you've never tried it, and you don't have any information to base your opinion on, what is the point of even posting?

I've used it to treat chronic back pain that my doctors couldn't diagnose or treat (aside from writing me scrips for painkillers, and I really don't need a 5 vicodin/day habit, thank you very much) and it worked. I have quite a few friends who used it to treat endometriosis and infertility and it worked. I also have one friend who tried acupuncture to treat her panic attacks, and it didn't work. Obviously I can't rule out the placebo effect, but if the placebo effect gets you pregnant when years of traditional fertility treatment didn't work, then what's the harm?

The pleasing "clickety-clack, clickety-clack" of the keys as he types. He finds it soothing.

Confidential to Adder -- in the time it took you to post the above, you could have done some research and had at least something on which to base your ass-talking. For example, using the "Google" search engine (www.google.com) and the search terms "acupunture" and "placebo," I quickly came up with these articles:

http://www.livescience.com/health/09...e-placebo.html (inserting needles in the wrong place just as effective in relieving headaches as inserting them in the correct place)

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...1112194913.htm (placebo acupuncture more effective at increasing pregancy rate than actual acupuncture)

My point was not that they are unfuckable, but that after you fuck loons you then have to deal with them. There are guys out there willing to do that, but I ain't one of them.
