Just Rest
FOUND by Carol in Unknown
I found this tucked in a history of Heavy Metal music in my small town library in my conservative town. I hope this person was able to stop obsessing about skin and weight and relax a little.

At first I thought this was a prescription of some sort.

What does the first line read? Medicate the imbabilty.

I'm all for that.

"When you get tired, you scratch, so just rest."

Scratch? Eyeballs out? Skin off?

Medicating the imbability will help.

I dunno what imbability is, but it seems to be causing a lot of double posts tonight!

Is it "medication then immobility?" Always best to spell immobility before you take the medication...

I don't know what you people are talking about, but Farmer got my attention with the word "nipples".

Here's what I see...

And it looks to me like it's on the back on an envelope that delivered an (AT&T??) Rewards program come on. Were these lecture notes?

It all becomes much more clear if you read the first lines as: "Mediclete the imbabilty" because, surely, "Medicate the imbabilty" doesn't make any sense.

That said, some lotion and a slutty dress with white heel leggings would clear up all the scratching as easily as resting and not thinking about food would.

Feeling in coherent has it figured out, almost. It is short-hand for a secret language that was in use prior to texting.

I think it's some mailing from Macy's.

This Find makes me itch and feel ookey all over. (except for my nipples, which, strangely, are feeling pert and tingly.)

I wish I could drop my skin and dance around in my bones, it's well over 100ºF out there.
Medic Lite is the newest form of HMO. You phone in your symptoms and they diagnose over the phone and email you a scrip, which you fill online.

I too have discovered that introspection is bad for weight loss--fat because of food, food because of fat. You start feeling guilty aboutyour weight, so you eat to comfort yourself. Can you say "vicious circle?"

Learning to rest is so difficult. Don't just do something--stand there!

Hey, speaking of nipples, you should all go to Pandora.com and look up the song "Nipples" by Jesus H Christ and The Four Hornsmen of the Apocalypse.

It will have you singing and smiling all day.

It looks like someone with medical training. The "c" with the line above (4th line) is shorthand for "with".
+ June 18, 2009 03:01 PM +
It sort of makes sense...
—Medicate the imbability

—Stop the introspection with food to lose weight—you have to stop thinking of it by eating

—When you get tired you scratch so just rest

—Stop thinking of your skin—drop it

Joan had the most terrible rash in the history of rashes. It was so bad they called it "the imbability." She had to medicate it twice an hour. She thought about her skin a lot because it itched so much, and she needed to rest because if she didn't she'd get tired and scratch. She was also trying to lose weight, and she was trying to do this by being introspective about food. Then she thought she should just stop thinking about it by eating. Go figure...

The mystery must lie in the History of Heavy Metal Music in a conservative small town library.
