    I miss running. Been thinking of rebuilding my legs to handle it again, but I know how much pain that will be

    I fell from a poorly constructed balcony when I was still in school for my military job. Boards of the railing werenailedin instead of screwed, so I was fucked from the get go. It gave way when I leaned on it and I went tumbling over with it. Twenty something foot fall to a sharp decline slope. Dislocated my left femur, which snapped the ridge of my hip, and took the full momentum fall onto my patella on the right, which exploded. That was some great fun. Doctor described the kneecap as "kibbles a bits" after the MRI.

    I'm wondering what sort of rotation you do wearing three wristwatches, two pocket watchs, and no trousers. But then maybe I don't want to know, really.

    Im glad you lived :supershock:
    Is your mobility at least better? build strength slowly to minimize amount of pain, maybe?

    I cant imagine not being able to run anymore. Had 2 knee surgeries (military doctor botched the first one... Had a corrective surgery 3 years later, but by that point my knee was pretty much done). The pain was literally the reason i had to quit running my senior year of college, but i got antsy and worked myself up to running again.

    When its cold, my knee swells now and is so painful i feel like throwing up. Doctor says i may need a knee replacement in my 30s.

    Stop! I'm sorry I asked. Some images cannot be un-envisioned.

    I broke an arm once . . . jumping down the stairs in a game of tag. Didn't get tagged but got x-rays and a cast.

    I broke my hand just recently punching the fridge. Snapped the bone right where my pinky connects to my hand. Now when I close my hand my pinky sticks up like I'm holding a cup of tea and being fancy lol.

    Not one of my finer moments.

    I did this same thing in college. If I remember right, I was drunk and upset about something I'm sure was really dumb. I didn't go to the hospital for the break, which was stupid because it healed wrong. I can still use the hand, but it has an odd knot on it now and the pinky doesn't bend right. Gets about half way and locks out. I hate my previous college self a lot.

    i got another one for today.....

    TMW the library isnt open (its our day to prepare for the upcoming week). there are signs everywhere. outside on the curb... on the doors.... facebook pages.... we havent been open on the weekends since February.

    random guy twists the lock some kind of way and comes right in.

    3 of us go up to him and say "how'd you get in? we're not open"
    guy says "oh yeah, i know, i just need to grab something really quick"

    WHAT!?!? HOW MANY TIMES HAS THIS GUY DONE THIS??? :eek:

    That moment when the dishwasher at work, which has died and been resurrected more times than all the characters in your WIP put together and which was only fitted ten months ago, decides to die again on Halloween.

    You don't want to know how many government buildings, secure facilities, and for profit research labs I've waltzed right into without missing a beat and they hardly even glance. Walking in with confidence and looking like you've always been there or were meant to be there makes it super easy to get into anywhere. Even when the buildings are key-card latched. People are always coming an going.

    Never underestimate doing something with confidence. After all, it's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to ask for permission most often.

    I saw the movie Tenet a couple of weeks ago. No spoilers, but there's a scene when one character says:

    "With a hi-vis vest and a clipboard you can get almost anywhere. Almost."

    Kind of like that Seinfeld episode where George gets away with doing nothing all day but carrying a clipboard around and looking frustrated.

    TMW when you realize it's the start of DST and you have a lot of clocks that need manual resetting, and some of them have less than intuitive ways to do it. And you further realize you have way too many clocks.

    TMW you realize that in four years, you will officially be old enough to run for the presidency of the United States.

    Too bad I'd have to be stupidly rich to even do the campaigns, though.
