here's the deal yo. I am in pain these days. I have "posture related tension" that flares it's ugly head from time to time and ohmy is now a time. I'm so tense, trying not to be tense. Rhett came home to find me sprawled, motionless on the couch this evening, and dragged my aching body out and around town to loosen me up... we found our way to an eclectic little bar called Rontoms. I spotted a pile of board games, and in particular a chess board, and let out a squeal. Oh Chess. Oooh the memories. I grew up playing it with my sibs. Dad had us thinking 10, 11, 12 .. 20 moves out, all while sitting silently, concentrating at that grid of black and white squares filled with the royalty of Kings and Queens and Knights and Rooks and Bishops. Strategic Thinking 101, that's what the chess board was for us. Rhett was a sport. He played, though it's not his game and he didn't want to, and I cleared his pieces one by one till he was down to his big poor King and two little pawns and then.. Check Mate baby. Momentary though it was, there's nothing like victory to ease a little pain. ;)

Ugh. I kind of have the same thing. I got a new chair and some monitor raiser things and it's helped a lot. It forces me to sit better at work.
I wish I was better at chess!
There's this iPhone chess game that I play with my sister. She thinks I'm some master at chess bc I win more games than I should... But really, I hand the phone off to Chris and me plays for me.
Hope you're feeling better!
:( no beueno. Pain is the worst...but a good man definitely helps.
Sorry about the pain. Chess is an intelligent man (er, woman)'s game. :)
I have the same thing happen every few months. Horrible, no? I think ice cream, laughter, and a heating pad go a long way. Oh yeah and that weird cream that is freezing on your skin but smells like wintergreen.
Nothing like a few fun games to make you feel better :)
That sucks that you experience that kind of pain :( I have back pain every so often and it just sucks the freakin' life out of me. I think it's sweet that Rhett was so thoughtful to try to get you up and loose. A little competition is always good for a distraction :)

I want to learn to play chess SO BADLY!! I am horrible at it though. I have no idea how the strategy works.
Hope you're feeling better.
I need to learn how to play chess. I tried in high school and I just wasn't very good. I'm too impatient.
Tell that man to give you some sexual healing! That fixes everything, either that or a massage. If he won't I will (oh boy!) and you can teach me how to play chess.

I cannot play chess. I have no clue about it. Don't hate me. But I saw this chess game on a table once and the lady said don't touch it, its decoration. so that's what i think of when i think of chess. it sure is pretty.
