When you crack your knuckles it releases a gas which in turn makes that popping sound. It does involve articulation of the joints to some extent, so that causes wear and tear of the knuckle joints. But that wear and tear is so tiny that it probably won't affect your chances of getting arthritis. Anyway, arthritis predisposition appears to be inherited to some degree.

So if you have a family history of arthritis, pop all you want because you're screwed anyway
Not necessarily. Arthritis that is genetic involves a weakening of the ligaments that operate the joints. It can be quite mild, almost unnoticeable or it can be quite pronounced. Like cancer or heart disease, you can be genetically predisposed toward those two diseases, but never get them.

The baby "dropped" a few days ago. I'd be surprised if she lasted until after May 15th.

Just been to give blood and a guy passed out and collapsed after he had given up his portion of the old claret
I have been giving blood for years and that is the first time i have seen anyone pass out afterwards. He was ok of course,just a tad embarrassed!!
Years ago, you had to have a blood test to get married in New York State. So when my ex and I went to a doctor for the test I had blood drawn from me for the first time in my life (I was 22 then). It was a tiny little test tube's worth and I ALMOST fainted from it.
Nowadays, I have blood drawn so often that you'd swear I am junkie because of the needle marks.

Another hot and beautiful day. Best enjoy it while we can. 60 and rainy the rest of the week.
SB,
Did I hear it was in the 90's the last couple days? It's only in the high 60's here this week. Damn, I need to move to NY.
