Careful now. That's exactly what I did, only in the garden over a period of 2 days "Hyper-extension" was what my doctor called it, and added that he had never seen anybody do that before (I've always been able to put both hands on the floor because I'm very short-waisted). Now I can't sit in a chair without severe pain, but it's supposed to gradually heal. Oh well, at least it wasn't the DVT again, that would have been much worse.

Two days!? Did someone bring you meals? Holy cats. I usually only do it when I've had a few beers and want to show off, therefore I doubt I could do it for two days. I just could't drink that much beer w/o feeling bloated.

9/11, going into work late. Had one shoe on when CBS morning show said a plane had hit the WTC and cut to a roof camera that was too far away to see anything clearly. Sat at my desk watching the bedroom TV... with one shoe on.... for the rest of the day.

Footsie, no, it wasn't like I slept in the yard in that position, it was a crash attempt to get all the weeds pulled and the bedding plants in the ground before the unusually cool weather ended. I thought it would not be as hard on my scoliosis if I bent straight down from the waist and shuffled along that way, and it actually did not cause me any back pain at all. But by the second day my left knee wouldn't bend and all the muscles in the back of my legs felt as if somebody had inserted white-hot spikes. Since only my knee was swollen, they decided it was not DVT, thank God, just me failing to realize that I am too old to do acrobatics anymore. My doctor said it hurt just to watch me demonstrate what I was doing to cause the problem, but I didn't know it was that unusual. This pain thing really sucks, though. It never goes away and if something touches against my leg the muscles go into spasms

My brother and I burned a litter of kittens alive last week-end.

It sucked more than anything I've ever done. We finally got a good chance to burn a "burnpile" that's been accumulating on my property after being under a burn ban for months. One of the wild "outside" cats had a litter living in the pile of debris...only one came out.....it was horrible...by the time they made their presence known by one running out and the others awful meowing-screaming, it was just too late....

I think you meant to say "You don't really mean that, do you?"

To which I would have replied, "It would be better for all of us if you stuck to your medication schedule."

However, since I know you're kidding me, I won't.

I ate 13 pancakes and a full breakfast when I was three. (oh, I was a very small child, most thought I was too small for my pre-school)

I got my conditional black belt last night.

Ouch. It hurts when I move. Anything.

OK Beestie, we'll give you your black belt on ONE CONDITION:

(multiple choice)

a) You promise to do all your chores before logging on to the cellar
b) You agree to stop teasing your sister
c) You only use your powers for evil and not good
d) You refrain from saying "Hassan, CHOP!"
[/fly]
