KS, that statement seems odd to me. PT will in essence strengthen the muscles and tendons. Why not try some strength training instead?

Yeah, going to pick up 2 more LED light and call it good.

Erni,
you can get LED retro fit kits for the flouescent fixtures cheaper that buying new LED fixtures. You'll have less waste than replacing.

They are basically the LED tubes, and all you do is gut the old fixture and rewire the end sockets to the incoming AC wires.

And then there's this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2...m-more-effici/

That's pretty cool. Can they ever match the durability of LEDs though? I'm hooked.

Ins. doesn't cover or recognize it. It's an OOP expense.

I thought tennis elbow was more of an over use injury. I didn't realize it was thought to be a more permanent thing by some doctors. I'll have to look into it more.

Had something I wanted to get rid of quick. I pushed it out to the curb, in the dark, hung a sign with the words "FOR SALE SE VENDE" on it and it was gone within two hours.

Thanks for the tip Bert.

Tennis elbow is a loose term. Like saying you have a cold, except more painful and takes longer to get over.

Not if the government keeps outlawing them. [Dunno]

FWIW, I'm a huge fan of LEDs and I like using them as much as possible, but there are a few things that I really want incandescent bulbs for and they are just about impossible to find. I wish we actually had free markets.
