RE: OT: Doing what you are told

[Guest guest]

Gotta tell about my hubby.

Some years ago we were presented with the most expensive " free " meal we

ever had. Dropped our name into a bucket at a restaurant. We were warned.

The sign did say that we'd have to listen to a chiropractic presentation.

So what. The meal was free. HA!

To make a long story stort we dropped a large bundle at that chiropractor's

office for treatment. Good chiropractors. Fair price. No complaints there.

But we bought two of the orthopedic pillows. One for each of us. The

presenter had said that the high was for sleeping on your back and the low

side for sleeping on your side. Okay. Fine.

Problem is I have very little neck. So it it much more comfortable for me, a

side sleeper, to sleep on the low side.

My husband ranted and raved at me for the longest time because I did not

follow instructions.

I did follow instructions. The instructions that my body gave me when it

told me I was far more comfortable with the low side of the pillow under my

neck.

If he sees something advertised on TV, especially if it's on an infomercial,

he KNOWS that it's the greatest gift to humankind. It's only on threat of

death (from me) that he has refrained from selling the family jewels to buy

the junk!

With people like him in the world is it any wonder that they fall for all

the misinformation about healthy eating, etc.?
