My back hurts so bad...I really feel for those who must live with Chronic long term pain. God bless them.
Lay on your back on the floor.
Pull one knee up and put gentle pressure on it pulling towards your chest but don't strain it at all, be sure to leave your other leg out straight.
Count to 10 and then switch legs.
Do this 10 times for each side, 20 times total.
You should be able to gradually pull each knee closer to your chest by the time you are done.

Sounds simple, but it really does help for most problems.

Get the jack... trust me..
Oh, I believe you.
I did the living room with a dead man.
I did the whole house with a dead man.
I did the bedroom like that to but I was a sick old dude. I'm younger than that now.
I'm not in the business but don't wanna rent one.
Figured I could do wallboard art after the job..but wanna sell this house ...no spare room..so..guess I'll rent the thing

Did I mention candied ginger slices to you?
Yes, I did.
In the morning, I suggest you get some. Which vertebrae did you pinch?

I would try to find someone to help me hang it. Another human BUT if thats not possible the Home depot rents a nice model for cheap or you can buy a china deluxe from harbor freight for about 200bucks http://www.harborfreight.com/drywall-panel-hoist-69379.html and if my old ceiling had popcorn on it i would spray it down lightly with water in a pesticide pump sprayer, wait 20 minutes for saturation, and scrape it off. Then you can see what needs to be fixed OR you can retexture with a more modern look...Something like a Stomp texture that will cover a multitude of Sins http://www.all-wall.com/Categories/...6YTFi1Ei_yzlm8b86yUYYIGDVmTcOOf9EcaAg8V8P8HAQ and here it is in action...
Hey, just found this..working my way backwards..
Yeah, I do great slapdown, my ex father in law almost hired me to do his mansion once but no..
and I don't have popcorn.
I was thinking of throwing up some new board and popcorning it to get it done quick rather
than do a number on my shoulders slapping mud up.
20 years ago..fine but now I need to save my body for all my young girlfriends...
Same with the dead man. No sweat back then but now I wanna be precise with no problem or crack freak
helping me do it.
Other humans? WTF, Dave. I live in Miami. I'm the only human left here. Fucking pesky critters those other humans...sensitive bunch of apes

That's the very one I was going to get when the bedroom ceiling came down four years ago.
I started to pull all the wet board down when the ladder and I had a disagreement.
By the time I was able again I found a similar jack at Home Depot for only $150
I figured since I'd have to pay tax anyway I'd buy it at HD but then storage came to mind.

I opted for hiring a crack freak from down the street to hoist the boards up with a 2 by deadman
while I worked the driver.
Back when, i did the whole house myself, sometimes using a deadman but sometimes just holding a sheet up with one hand.
But...I'm nicer to myself now.
I'll either let the next guy worry about it or
I'll rent a jack.

Some new vendor trying to build their post count before they start posting up their advertising messages.

Hate it when they are in the nonsense stage and reported it.
Oh, I see. Damn. I've been used. I'm going to have to stop being nice to strangers.

Yeah, he/she/it has been running around all night posting nonsense in threads all over the place. Annoying.

Anyway... couple of years ago, before my last back surgery, we were doing a lot of painting around the house and I bought a scaffold to make it easier for me to stand up higher than being on the step of a ladder. It's been one of the best purchases I've ever made. It not only works for painting inside, but cleaning dust from high shelf things we have around our great room, staining the porch, and acting as a portable workbench out in the garage :)

With a jack on it, I could see it being used for drywall too... not that I will EVER hang drywall myself though...

Drywall on ceilings is not my favorite thing to do. I can slap down pretty but my shoulders remind me for weeks.
But ya gotta do what ya gotta do, especially in our wonderful economy..

Ya, scaffold would be so nice, not having to go up down ladder..man!
Those jacks reach all the way up to a standard height ceiling. My problem is storage.
This house has no garage, one of the reasons I want to move.
Otherwise I would have bought a jack before..but the scaffold is something to consider for future reference.
I thought of getting another ladder and a plank..

Good morning:)

Molly Brown was on board the Titanic when it tragically sunk in 1912. Although she knew the ship was taking on water, she shouted to a panic-stricken fellow passenger: "There's no danger. It simply can't go down, because I'm on it and I'm unsinkable." Her bantering words, which rang out with the determination never to be defeated and never to give in to despair are said to have given courage to her fellow passengers. Those who stand up at a crucial moment demonstrate genuine greatness.

And then the ship sank anyway and good old Molly drowned.

Wow. What an inspirational story! Good Molly Brown Morning!
