    yes, actually I had it looked at at the hospital when we were in there the with the baby. I walked in without too much trouble, figured if I propped up over night maybe it’ll feel better by morning. Woke me up at about 3 o’clock in the morning it hurts so bad, so I figured well I’ll just walk down to the ER and get someone to check it out. I stood up and promptly fell down. I couldn’t walk 2 steps on it. so, I very nearly handed my man card in, and actually got one of the maternity ward nurses to push me down to the ER in a wheelchair:confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused::confused: she was about hysterical, and told me I won the award of being her very first male patient:( got an x-ray, they said it isn’t broken just a very severe sprain. They put a wrap on it, but the irony of the situation is that, although this is a hospital, where they’re supposed to alleviate, sickness and suffering, they would not give me something as simple as Tylenol. They gave me a prescription for pain medicine, and I had to wait until morning when the pharmacy half a mile away opened up and walked all the way down to the out of the hospital, half a mile across the parking lot to my wife’s van, and drive myself to the pharmacy, then hickle my way in there for Tylenol and to fill my other prescription. I bought a set of crutches in there too, I used them at the hospital, haven’t since we got home. Crutches are suicide on an icy driveway!

    That’s pretty much what they look like when the jack on a boat trailer fails and the boat falls on it and pins you in the driveway until the kids and other half come to the rescue as well

    5 gallon bucket of ice for an hour and a couple shots of Crown and you’ll be ready to do the chores

    Typically go out searching for ELIZABETH immediately after completing all sets, and emptying the box.

    It is freaking cold.

    Not a cloud in the sky, so I'm going to let The Orb work on it for a minute.

    The Orb has lost its capacity to make heat in the Ho but a shoveling event must occur soon after breakfast and then a possible rhinoceros visitation and then we simulate a golf event

    That looks similar to mine when I tore my achilles tendon.

    Well I went in this morning and worked the dock. Put in 64 hrs this week so it was time to treat myself. Plus my 4 year told me I never take her to Waffle House, and the gauntlet had been thrown down.
