Attack of the Giant Octopus



The dangers of living so close to the lake...

I kid, of course. These are tell tale signs of the "cupping" technique that my acupuncurist used today. It's a method of drawing blood to an area, to improve circulation and release toxins.

No, it didn't / doesn't hurt. Hopefully, it will help the pain in my butt. And you know who you are.

This is a link to a story CBS did a few years ago. Cuz someone saw Gwyneth Paltrow with similar marks. Yeah, my buddy Gwyneth.

My acupuncturist tried to talk me into that cupping business a while back. I developed a sudden need to vacuum my living room and clean the bathrooms.
But, I'll be interested to hear if this helps. Having a new source of pain of my own lately.
