My thumbs are killing me!
Sore thumbs after spending hours on a hand-held e-mail device? Sounds like a case of “BlackBerry Thumb” — but help is at hand.
The Hyatt hotel chain found so many of their business travelers were complaining of hand and arm discomfort that they have introduced a special “BlackBerry Balm” hand massage at most of their North American spas.
The 30-minute massage, that costs about $30, begins with heat treatment and uses a “BlackBerry Balm.” It “focuses on counteracting tension on various hand and arm muscles, specifically in the thumbs and overworked wrists,” according to a Hyatt statement.
Do you think this might be the ultimate “massage” excuse for [ex] Pastor Haggard?
What kind of bullshit is this. Blackberries are annoying and useless little devices ansd not worth posting about. Now bring back articles about evangelists so we can do the important thing… dogpile on religious whackjobs.

Stop whining… this is a hybrid article… Let’s discuss Haggard… ;o)

Yeah, gimme the shutdown of Jesus Camp. It’s been reported, and people ought to know. Besides, Haggard is, eh….. was involved 😉
C’mon – haven’t you picked on the guy enough – you didn’t have to connect a completely unrelated article to bash him more.
Just one more ailment for bogus workman’s comp and disability claims.

OK.
Peace.
Let’s talk thumbs and “BlackBerry Balm” 😀
Often those who rejoice about another’s misfortune are trying to feel better about their own miserable lives.

Wow…
The ocean is deep. And blue…..
Although I give you that reading some headlines while in the line to pay at the supermarket makes good entertainment.
Like most dichos, syngie, yours invites as much laughter as any other straight line. But, don’t worry. I shan’t wax existential other than to invite the perpetually superstitious to lecture us on how “being a xhristian, he’s already forgiven!” 🙂
And here I thought Haggard’s palm would have hurt more than his thumb…
Remind me not to ever stay at the Hyatt. Apparently they cater to whiny business travelers. The walls may be soundproof, but you’re bound to run into them in the hallway, and I’ve got better things to do than hear them complain about “Blackberry Thumb.”
Holiday Inn’s business customers are a bit tougher.
the real question is: How can NTP benefit from this?
