Idiot Savant--w/ emphasis on idiot

“I knew a woman lovely in her bones….”

oh, no, wait, that’s the beginning of a poem….

I know a woman who quit smoking forever after three acupunture sessions.  I have also gone “under the needle” (it really doesn’t hurt that much.  Anyone who can handle getting a tatoo can easily handle acupuncture) many times for help with horrrrrrrible and agonizing menstral episodes that I’ve had since I was a teen.  My acupunture dude is also an herbalist and made me some (nasty tasting, but worth the effort) decoctions to brew for tea.  Much much much improved after several sessions.  Much.
