Back Pain??


Its something a lot of us suffer from. It sucks. So what can we do? Apart from regular exercise and a healthy, organic diet and a good sleeping schedule, there are a few ways we can ease that back pain.

1. Stretch! One of the main causes of back pain is stress which causes muscles to tighten. Stretching the back will loosen up the muscles and relieve stress.

2. Massage! This will also help loosen up the muscles in the back and relieve stress.

3. Posture! Posture! Posture! If you are slouching in your chair it puts added stress on your spine and the muscles in the back are forced to compensate. If you can, invest in a back pad that improves posture while sitting.

4. If all else fails, don't let back pain ruin your life. Sometimes pain medication may be necessary. You can get that here. At the Online Medical Pharmacy you can order prescription medications with no prior prescription!

Nearby Volcano Mt. St. Helens is on the Rebound!


Just a short drive from Portland lies the infamous Mt. St. Helens. Thirty years ago today the volcano erupted in what remains the largest eruption in North America in recorded history. The blast and subsequent ash and lava flow destroyed hundreds of thousands of acres of forested land. 30 years later the land is making a remarkable recovery! Mother nature is at it again!

Thank You Walmart!



I read in USA Today a wonderful news release about Wal-Mart.
Apparently they have evaluated and re-vamped their donation efforts. They will now donate $2 billion worth of food to food banks over the next 5 years! Food banks are struggling right now to keep up with demand as the number of Americans on food stamps is over 38 million. Thank you Wal-Mart for trying to be a more socially-conscious corporation!
