On my back, start off slow and they get easier over time as your abdominal muscles strengthen.

100% this! When I was around 35, I got a herniated L5/S1; it was debilitating. I have a desk job, and years of bad posture and zero core strength caught up to me. I would get shooting pains where I had to grab something to steady myself to stand.

My doctor prescribed Dilaudid, a pretty powerful hydromorphone. I have addiction issues in my family and did not take any—and I'm really glad I didn't. I've seen friends have to go to rehab for similar 'doctor-prescribed' opiates.

What helped me was exercise. First, just holding a doorway and kicking my legs backward to loosen up the area. Then leg lifts while lying down—one at a time at first, then both at the same time. Then pushups and situps. Then a gym routine of lifting heavy weights and cardio on a reclined bike where I also incorporate lighter 15 lb barbells.

I'm 47 now, in the best shape of my life with no back pain. Treat the root cause, not the symptoms!

Also don't let the water come to a boil with the egg in it. Put eggs directly into boiling water.

Did the R&D result in any significant reduction?

Now add a "Chatty Cathy" / "Leave me the fuck alone, don't worry I'll still give you a tip as long as we don't have to talk" option.

I think it puts panic into the general public and pressure onto the elevator companies to come back to the bargaining table. If anything I have more respect for elevator workers now, they keep shit moving.

No kidding, this wouldn't affect just my building it would affect all of BC and the Yukon. The elevators were still working this morning and we got this message: "The strike has been averted as negotiations for elevator workers across B.C. are ongoing to establish a new collective agreement."

My office just sent out a message saying the elevator union workers are going on strike tomorrow and all elevators will be shut down.
