I got up this morning and I've got a slight sore throat and my back is killing me! Of course living in Ms. doesn't help the weather will be in 70 then turn around and be 40% or lower so.......

Hope you are feeling better now Rogersbaby and you also Bettyrunge.

Yes a heat pad is excellent for back pain.

I looking forward to Spring also :)
