Everybody thinks they're racing the Baja 1000 now.

Don't forget her insurance just went up quite a bit too.

HUSH!  I was really good.  You know how I like my spicy food & condiments. 

 

Why am I craving Lechon?  We ate an entire pig for Thanksgiving now I want another, all to myself!

I normally despise people dressing up pets in costume or extraneous clothing, but this is awesome.

McDowell's?

 

 

LMAO!!!!!!

 

Thanks. Glad SOMEONE got that! I got bummed out the first time I met someone who was too young to remember the 70s. Now it seems we have too many here who are too young to remember the 80s!!

So my bicycle got badly damaged when a car left the roadway and crashed into it while parked in a bike rack.  The first bike was totaled.  My bike had a front rim bent and a torn brake line.  There was hydraulic fluid on the sidewalk. 

 

It's all repairable, but the bill will come to $130.  The good news I will not be responsible for costs.  Taxpayers will foot the bill on this one as my IRS commuting benefits have not been used this year.

Honey, we're old!

Speaking of old... since when did weather fronts coming through (as in right now) start giving me headaches?

 

owwwwie

Question?  Anyone here battle sciatica?  I sprained my back last night, right after our game I tossed Mr. Fussy Pants in the air.  Next thing I know, I felt a snap, heard a crackle then a pop.  A second later, I felt what could have been 1 million knives in my lower back and legs and bam - I was the floor and so was Mr. Fussy Pants.  I've never experienced pain like that before.  I'm just glad the MFP wasn't injured or I would never forgive myself.

 

Today, I can barely move.  I can sit, but not walk very far.  I would wish this on my worst enemies!  >:D

 

I could be out of commission for a month.  This is not sexy!

 

I'm under 30 and know exactly what McDowell's is if it makes you all feel better.

 

My old moment of the day is the flirty hairstylist conversation coming around to "do you have kids ... would you ever want any." It just felt weird.

Old moment....I'm referred to as Mr. _____ by people (the sitter, people at the kids' schools, etc.), and no longer correct them.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAA.  You old fart!

I'm on Oxycodone for my back, this shit is bananas.  My insomnia is back and I'm jumpier than an Amish virgin at a prison rodeo, but at least im not in severe pain.

 

I don't know how people stay home.  I now understand why those damn whippersnapper so somethings have short attention spans.  I have the TV on, the imac on, the laptop on, the tablet on and the phone.  I'm doing work, watching movies, watching God awful judge shows and tweeting and google+'ing.  How do people sit at home and do this day after, day after, day and their brains not turn to mush????

 

What if I become addicted and end up in Betty Ford?  Ooooh, or on Celebrity Rehab?  Now I'm hungry!  Where is that spoiled nephew...I swear, good domestic help is so hard to find, especially when they are a relative!  Oh, that reminds me I'll pop in Ever After  - Cinderella Story.  that movie is awesome.  I guess I can re-watch all my favorite Mega Bitch movies  hehehehe  It's Betty Broderick, Miranda Priestly, Margo Channing & Joan Crawford time!!  Then I'll watch The Wiz.

 

Oh god...I'm losing it.  They'r egoing to send me to shady pines if I keep this up!

 

God help us all.

I am there too. Its weird to hear the teenage neighbor kids refer to me as Mister too. Or that there are several neighbors on the street younger than us.

God help us all.

You have my sympathies. I slipped a disc in my lower back when I was 16, then blew it out again when I was 20. I've had several more back blowouts since then, including one where the only way I could tolerate the pain was to mix Soma (a prescription muscle relaxer) and alcoholic beverages to knock me out. It was a dangerous move, but I was in such pain that death seemed merciful at that moment.

 

But about 10 years ago my doctor gave me some basic back exercises to do. I am supposed to do them daily, but that doesn't always happen! But I do them most days and I haven't had a back blowout since. There's some days where I've experienced discomfort, but it's usually because I've missed a few days of exercises. So I pop a couple of 220mg naproxen sodium pills, get back to doing the exercises, and I'm fine again in a couple of days.

 

If you're curious about the back exercises, I think I still have the scan of illustrations and instructions of what to do, if you (or others) are interested. Just let me know.

God help us all.

Oxy is the best thing!  I don't feel a damn thing!  But it's making me trip.  Thing 2, said they should get extra large bottle and keep it in the office, so I wont be such a tight ass bitch.  I just feel every bit of the 46 years I am.  I can only walk a few feet before discomfort sets in.  When it happened the pain was so intense, that if it had been any more painful, I would have told every secret I know for a cure!  I can't believe this happened because I tossed a 35 lb toddler in the air. 

 

I'm going to my doctor and physical therapist today, i'm supposed to start some stretching exercises there.  I just want this pain to end!

 

I just pray I don't become addicted to judge TV shows!

I can't believe this happened because I tossed a 35 lb toddler in the air. 

 

Dude, I blew out my back once just by pulling on a sock.

I blew mine out sneezing once.  It doesn't take much.

I see that.  I just hate not being productive.  I'm about to go stir cray-cray with cabin fever!  I went to bed at 4pm yesterday and just woke.  I think I took to many pills.  I don't want to end up like "Neely O'hara"!

helllo cleeeveland -- its your santacon day!

 

whos doing it? we want 2 c yr shameless pics

You folks throwing out your backs need to start lifting weights. KJP, your doc had the right idea. People don't realize how much their bodies deteriorate from a sedentary lifestyle. Strength training improves balance and joint stability.  Good for the mind and soul too.

 

It's no cure-all though. I've strained muscles in my back sneezing too! :-o

Bodies "rust" too, especially at the joints. Use 'em or lose 'em.

Honey, I sprained my back playing volleyball.  Trust I lift weights and do core exercises.  Trust this body is in excellent condition, minus this minor back incident!

Initially hurt my back doing squats, then hurt it very seriously when I was rear ended by a drunk driver.  It is easy to re-injure now if I'm not careful or unlucky, though I do lift weights, and it does help significantly.

Pinched a nerve in my neck last year while shoveling snow. The sad thing is there was maybe an inch or 2 of snow on the ground. That pinched nerve took 4 months to fully heal after rounds of physical therapy and a steady stream of muscle relaxers, anti-inflammatory and painkillers.

Ugh, you guys are scaring me....

 

 

I've fixed the name of the thread.

^ That post really started to get me worked up, but that caused my back to spasm, so now I've settled down again.

Thats what I'm on right now.  Pain killers, muscle relaxers and PT!  Not sexy.

Has anyone seen the Jackass Tribute to Ryan Dunn- I'm wondering if Johnny Knoxville's interview was in the hotel at the Arcade as it overlooks E. 4th?

Really? I guess I can see how if you just read the lyrics that you might be able to get to this view point. But every version of this song that I have ever heard is playful and coy banter. It really doesn't need to be "fixed". My personal favorite version is a live version that was on a CD that I bought in high school by Louis Armstrong and Velma Middleton. They lay it on pretty thick and that was the first time I realized what the song was about getting lucky.

How to Redeem 'Baby, It's Cold Outside': Fix the Lyrics

By Eleanor Barkhorn & Ashley Fetters

Two Atlantic staffers dissect the song's creepy factor.

Blaine and Kurt on 'Glee' (Fox); Frank Loesser and his wife and musical collaborator Lynn, who performed the song at their housewarming party (AP / Anthony Camerano); She & Him (Merge Records)

 

Earlier this week, Stephen Deusner at Salon wrote an article pointing out a troubling truth about the beloved holiday carol "Baby, It's Cold Outside": If you listen to the words, it sounds like the song is describing the run-up to a sexual assault. As Deusner writes:

 

    A woman has stopped by to visit a man, and he connives to keep her from leaving. "My answer is no," she states, but he pours on the charm: "It's up to your knees out there." His seductions become increasingly smarmy ("What's the sense of hurting my pride?") and eventually sinister. At one point she exclaims, "Say, what's in this drink?" Is he being generous with the alcohol, or has he slipped her something stronger? At this point, the Wolf and Mouse designations are redundant. It's all too clear that he's a predator and she's prey.

 

Here, we discuss whether this song can be saved....

^ It's true. Also, "Let it Snow' is a euphemism for getting high on cocaine, and 'Jingle Bells' is about masturbation.

One perk of starting your own business is that you get to say no to Xmas music.

^ugh, when I used to work at "not to be named large evil energy corporation", the Christmas/Holiday music started the week after thanksgiving over the office muzak system. I am surprised that there were not office shootings every year....Thank god for my ipod.

We never used to have it, but a customer complained this year that they didn't play it in the branch, so now, we're all holiday music all the time. I'M VERY VERY VERY MERRY!!!!!!!!!

I bet that customer is very popular with your branch employees.

Apparently in the office I'm in, a few years before I worked here, the lady that I replaced cranked Christmas music all day in her cubicle starting the day after Thanksgiving. After a few weeks of everyone complaining that it was annoying but her refusing to turn it down, one of the guys decided that as an atheist he was offended at being forced to listen to the occasional Christian Christmas song and as a result of a formal complaint to the EEO department (who by the way is within earshot and was annoyed too) no one in our office is allowed to play music without headphones. I'm quite happy with the policy.

Having an office muzak system at all makes me surprised they didn't have office shootings every month.... :shoot:

Stereotypical American response: I am going to drive an extra 20 miles to get that cheaper gas!

Filled up the motorcycle with gas this morning on the way to work. Some guy with an SUV at the pump next to me tried to make fun of me for being stupid riding in the cold. I paid $5 for a fill up. He paid $68.

 

(By the way, I'm not denying I'm stupid for riding in the cold.)
