Today [2]

[tom982]

I lost my best friend.

I'm sorry for your loss.

106F here in the mid afternoon.
15% humidity.
A super dry heat....
{More wanted.}
Can see below to the ocean & bay.
Holiday makers frolic in the surf.
Yachts heeling to the off shore breezes.
A fine start to 2012.

If only Britain was more like that...
Meanwhile, I'm stuck here in 6C, no ocean and bay views and no sea breezes I know which of the two I'd choose!

Hello Tom,
Brrrr! That is indeed very cold weather... but could be worse!

Hi Jan,
This is nothing! This time last year we had a foot of snow and -16C. Now that was cold. But the weather's showing no signs of improvement, I'm looking out my window to see the rain going pretty much horizontally! Good old Britain.

Our first really cold day of the winter. Hell, it's only 2 months late. We've usually got a foot of snow on the ground at least, and sub-zero temps, but so far this year it's like the seasons are stuck on fall. Later this week supposed to be back about 10 degrees above freezing. I'm not complaining, spring will come soon enough, and you know what that means.....

Baseball and fishing.

Here in Florida, I am looking at mid 20's tonight. Our usual one or two days here and there. Made some Chili with jalapeno's and spices, was good , as my forehead was sweating. Sure sign of Good Chili..

Ken, Truly sorry. I have known you, and a few others, for quite a while, and consider you friends. I am really sorry about your loss.

Oh, hurt myself today too.
Today sucked.

MWRed,
What were you doing that you hurt yourself?
Take care of yourself and get better.

I have a problem with my right side sacroiliac joint.
Apparently there's not much that can be done about it at this point, until it gets so bad that I need some serious help.
I have a crooked pelvis, which from what I gather, is from issues with my hip, knee and ankle. I destroyed everything that holds my ankle together besides the bone. Was told that it would have been better if I had broke it, then they could have put it in a cast. They couldn't do anything, other than let the ligaments and tendons all reproduce/repair themselves. It didn't heal right, and I am always accidentally rolling and turning over my foot...sooner or later, i'm not going to catch myself in time, and i'm going to end up breaking it.

Kinda funny how I originally hurt my ankle.
Me, my boy, his mom, and her sister and kids were out sledding(this was roughly 12 years ago), and I jumped on a sled( round, disc shaped thing, a little too small for me to be on really) and sat on it, crossing my legs and holding on the sides. At the bottom of the hill is literally a small bump, so when you get to it, you "get a little air". I got air alright, and my foot slipped off the front of the sled, I landed on it, and it went under me and the sled. Take my word for it....it hurt.
A wrap, and "there's nothing we can do for it" was all they said, but they offered me a crutch, which I kindly told them where they could put it. I was mad.

My knees on the other hand got hurt on my first (AND LAST) time skiing. The breakaway ski's (supposed to breakaway from the boots if you wipe out) didn't breakaway.

the hip problem is actually with both hips, but mostly in one, and I have no idea why that started. I noticed it when I was about 22. it just slowly gets worse and worse, sometimes to the point to where, the way it feels, the ball of my hip will get stuck, feeling like it's almost dislocated.


I'm getting old before i'm old.

Is there any Physical Therapist around to get you back to somewhat normal.
I have a sciatic nerve problem( pain shooting down both legs) that only a steroid injection or fusion of the spine MIGHT help. So I take 2 Naprosyn and play golf anyway.
Hang in there my friend...

My first thought was that it was the nerve, but when it first got really bad, I was told that it was actually the joint, which literally "popped" and scared the crap out of me.
I am supposed to learn how to sit,walk and sleep different to try to keep it as straight as possible, but doing that is almost impossible based on my work. Usually when it flares up, or pops, it's not when i'm doing anything abnormal, like today. All I was doing was grabbing something off of a table.

I'm usually normal, but every so often, this happens.

You should see my shoes.....one of them always wears on the outside of the sole, it's kinda funny to look at. It shows just how crooked my ankle healed.
I still think they were full of crap telling me they couldn't do anything about it. I was younger and dumber then, so I didn't think to try to go elsewhere.
Live and learn I guess.

Thanks THW
Having another short week will help, giving me a long weekend to rest.

New memory card for Tab arrived in the post today, just copying my data to it now.
Not a bad day at work today either, bit of Angry Birds here and there, need to fire an email across to the Training Providers about when I start my day release stuff. Should be fun.

I should really start blogging again, when I was blogging I wasn't alot, but I think now I have the time, sort of, I'll be able to.

A shout for the Android users, preinstalled on my Tab was this Spashtop Streamer app, just checked the Market and it's not free, but it's worth it, imo.
Another one is PocketCloud. That works quite well, use both of these when I need to remote onto my servers. Would use my PC to do it, but it's busy with other stuff and stuff.

 

[MWRed]

Was better today. Didn't have much to do at work, so I took it easy.

 

[HardwareHelper]

I had a good day at my voluntary workplace. But I had to get the train home, as the bus broke down at the Railway Station.

 

[HardwareHelper]

I have just been walking our dog and I am going to my charity shop soon in Battle. My dad just had his weekly injection.

 

[MWRed]

Slacking my butt off now after a boring as hell day at work.

 

[tom982]

Another day of solid Biology revision I couldn't think of a more boring way to spend a weekend!

Hi carl ,long time no see. :D

 

[HardwareHelper]

I keep getting banned on the Seven Forums, and I do miss it.

To-day: I have been walking our dog as usual.

 

[Boohbah]

if its any consolation carl ,the 7f members mention you from time to time.

apparently you had multiple accounts so the rules meant you had to be banned. it is a shame as i grew fond of your dog over a period of time and your daily updates about her walks were fun.

i hope your dads health improves and the job situation changes for you in the future, how are your courses going ,have they got you doing any new ones. and do you still work in the charity shop?

 

[Yard Dog]

Me got dog.. LOL Hey Boohbah..
