Wrist pain from typing

Dave Farquhar — Sun, 15 Jul 2018 11:00:32 +0000

I’ve had a long history with wrist pain from typing, brought on by carpal tunnel syndrome or repetitive stress injury. People sometimes as me to elaborate, so I’ll elaborate on beating carpal tunnel. I was able to beat it without

My sons and the chiropractor

Dave Farquhar — Fri, 10 Jul 2015 11:00:06 +0000

I take my sons to the chiropractor once a month. Their fame precedes them, and for good reason. The chiropractor uses a spring-loaded device called an activator to manipulate the bones. My youngest son thinks the activator tickles. Each time

And now I think it’s time for a new doctor

I’m sick. I’ve been sick for about three weeks. Not major major–I’ve only missed a day of work–but it’s irritating. And it’s been three weeks. A cold lasts about 10 days. So I asked my wife to see if I

How the Republican Party is losing me

Dave Farquhar — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 02:24:15 +0000

I tend to lean to the right. For as long as I understood what it meant to be conservative or liberal, Republican or Democrat, I called myself a conservative Republican. In college, I wrote a newspaper column for 3 1/2 years brashly titled "No Left Turns."

In last year's primary, I voted for Ron Paul for a couple of reasons. One, a lot of things he said made sense. Two, at least he sincerely believed in the things he said that didn't make sense. And three, he's a doctor. When Ron Paul predictably didn't get the nomination, I voted against John McCain and for a Democrat, Barack Obama. The main reason was health care.

Why I quit my job

Dave Farquhar — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 01:18:21 +0000

Today, some 10 years and 11 months since the last time I did it, I left a job on my own terms. I called my boss, asked to see him, and walked to his office with a single-page letter in hand.

It's not something I'm especially good at, and, being a fixer by nature, it's not something I'm usually inclined to do. And while there are several things about this job that I won't miss at all, my main reason for leaving is health care.

Where does faith come from?

Following closely on the heels of the question of how to pray, people often ask me where faith comes from, and where they can get more of it.

When bad things happen to good people…

Dave Farquhar — Mon, 29 Oct 2001 14:07:58 +0000

When bad things happen to good people. A couple of weeks ago, I got e-mail from a friend I'll just call by her nickname, Hammer. Hammer moved to upstate New York this summer, after having lived in a small Illinois town outside of St. Louis her whole life. Hammer e-mails her friends a lot, and she's probably the wordiest and most vocal person I know, myself included. Hammer told me (and others) about a longime friend who'd been going to our church for the past six months, who wanted to join our small group, but didn't know any of us.
