Looks like it's starting to get infected.

BTB, wasn't somebody hocking ear clips for the same thing a few years back?

I had one of those many years ago to quit smoking. Didn't work for me but it sure did hurt.

I just checked this idiot dog my daughter brought home and sure enough, his staples have fallen out - by now his brain must be somewhere around his ankles.

Staple your butt to one of these things for 45 minutes a day. It will work a lot better.

What a Crock of S***..... While acupuncture is good for many things.... I have yet to see it work for appetite suppression or smoking cessation.

Because, yet again, no one wants to hear, "Eat less and exercise more."

People will pay cash money for ANYTHING, as long as it's the easy way out.
