Good Morning, everyone.

"Happiness does not exist as an isolated quality, nor does it conform to a single fixed pattern. Happiness is something that breathes and lives in the relationships between one person and another."

Muth , the above applies only in good healthy relationships that have substance , infatuation based unions often seem to bring happiness at first but have no substance which causes them to disintegrate fairly rapidly .

There is a TON of those types of relationships in the World today because a huge number of people don't know and really don't even try to make an effort to understand past failures in this area.

What happens ? They continue to repeat the same patterns that have disappointed them time and again and they end up living a very unfulfilled life because of it.

A shame actually .

Not at all

G'news is the wife actually ate half of hers and half the potato.. all she could manage, but better than in the last 10 days. And she needs the protein for her platelets, which are really low.

Very glad to hear that she is starting to feel better. I can't imagine how tough it must be for you hear or see anything that even hints that she might be getting sick given everything she is going through. People often forget or don't realize how tough these things are on the spouses too.

I watch helplessly as my wife almost died from internal bleeding after an ectopic pregnancy. The doctors said that if we she had gotten there even 5 minutes later they might not have been able to save her because almost all of the blood in her body had collected in her abdomen and she had to have 2 blood transfusions and they had to remove the affected tube.

I'm seeing that as the membership increases, so does the influx of asshats.

I have noticed that as well. I have bumped into a couple of them and the last time decided to simply leave it alone because I was tired of dealing with them.

Unfortunately it did... wife fell twice and cracked the back of her head pretty good on frozen ground next to the sidewalk she was on. Glad that it wasn't the concrete or she'd probably have more than a big knot on the back of her head.

I have not woken her up yet, but I suspect she is going to be using some of my pain meds today for her back because of landing pretty hard on her butt two times in rapid succession.

We are both glad that it wasn't me though because it would have greatly accelerated the time to my next inevitable back surgery since I have several more degenerating disks in my spine.

You may want to consider getting her checked out for a possible concussion.

Ok @VH fan , in regards to my "Fart Box" comment. I was merely using a term that I heard years ago prior to my call to ministry that I found hilarious. Contrary to popular belief....Evangelists and members of Holy Orders are human. We do not patter about mumbling prayers and adorning ourselves with holy demeanors. I have several Priest associates that in the confines of their offices...are known to utter epithets and the occasional "Shit" and "Fuck"...several have tattoos even!! As much as we would love to be as Christ-like as possible...the fundamental fact of things is...we are frail and full of human faults. I live life fully, but find myself beset by matters that get in the way of spiritual life....I do not regret any of those things...they are what make me who I am. Currently I also find myself in an emotional state that I'm still trying to make sense of. The truth is...I am failing in that I am trying to make sense of something that belongs to the heart...which is not concerned with logic or reason. What makes me so effective as a tertiary minister, is that I can relate, and am relateable to the common person....as opposed to some frocked hypocrite that is only concerned with being "proper" and above everyone else. In conclusion...I do not feel compelled to justify my words or actions, as that would imply that I am a slave to my own ego. I only do this so as to shed some light on my own humanity...a humanity which is as much a gift, as my effort towards holiness.

Missed this completely and just saw it , let me just say that i am extremely shocked , and i mean extremely here , that of all people, you actually could not tell my comments regarding what i had completely and purposely took out of context including some fabrication on my part was worth an explanation ?

I just cannot believe that , i really can't . When i said we truly do not understand each others , what i thought was extremely obvious humor , i think thats an understatement . At least with that post in particular , if i had to pick one post out of every post that i ever wrote going back to when i even joined , that post was easily the most obvious of all that i was clearly just F ing with you.

You imo , are clearly trying to make me look the fool ( which i am not saying i'm not at times ) but it's not from that post i do know that .

Stop taking everything so seriously and lighten up , and you think i'm overly analytical , please

It's always somebody who ends up taking something serious when they have been told countless times not to that makes these so called (joke filled and completely senseless threads just not worth it).

If anybody likes to to talk down to people, best you pick someone else because i am not the one you want to try that nonsense on.

Thats all , and please, i don't want to discuss this further , it's over.

In case you can't tell if this is serious or not , it's serious , just a fwiw.

Thanks for the well wishes folks. Our daughter's car uses one of those keyless starting systems and the battery in her fob had died so she had to use her real key to open the car and then there is a slot in the glovebox to put it in so that you can start the car when the fob battery is dead.

Her key got stuck in the slot so we had to go up to her school so that I could figure out how bad it was. Well after discovering that she had pushed the actual key into a small hole in the back of slot that was actually meant to grip the back of the key after it was reinserted into the fob, meaning that the entire fob with the key reinserted into it goes into the slot... I was able to get it out but it took some work because my long nose pliers could just barely reach it because she had it pushed in so far.

After visiting with her and her roomate for a bit just before we left she realized that she left her phone in our daughter's dorm room so I was sitting in the car with our son and watched her fall from the car. It was like watching it in slo-mo. Fortunately a senior nursing student saw everything and checked her out to make sure she didn't have a concussion.

Fast forward 20 minutes before posting... she woke up and has a headache. The back of her head is tender and her butt hurts. Fortunately the back pain is in her upper back and shoulder so hopefully that means she didn't injure her lower back, but it can take a couple of days for a disk injury to start to impact you.

Gave some of my back beds and sent her back to bed.

Good morning all you gloriously strange and unique people.

Right now I'm responding at a level proportional to my interest in the topic.

That being said, we all know what can happen when I miss the meds for my mood disorder a couple of days in a row, so we'll see how long I can contain myself... even on the meds...

Hey peeps. Doc said I have plantar whoziwhatsis, not Achilles tendonitis. Ice, aleve and exercises. Plus he almost proudly announced that he doesn't write prescriptions for anything. I feel bad for all his patients that were in the waiting room, Poor little old ladies hobbling around in pain. Jerk.

IMI, I hope she feels better soon! Keep a good eye on her and maybe take her to the doctor. Head injuries aren't to be messed with.

If Wikipedia is to be trusted:
First-line conservative approaches include rest, heat, ice, calf-strengthening exercises, techniques to stretch the calf muscles, achilles tendon, and plantar fascia, weight reduction in the overweight or obese, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin or ibuprofen.

Um... that sucks... because tendonitis would have been easier. Planar Faciitis is far harder to treat. Is only effectively treated with very specific exercises and you really have to keep doing them forever. Wife suffers from this and if she stops doing her exercises for a bit it sucks for her.

One thing that will help in the short term is to lay down on the floor and have someone push your toes back to stretch the tendons that go across the bottom of your foot and then massage the arch gently while it is under tension. This helps give my wife some relief when it is really bad.

Definitely pay attention during PT and then keep doing them as a routine moving forward.

I shall be kissing zero gingers today!
And for that I am grateful
My feeble soul would not survive another go round with another ginger.
Love em from a distance for sure. But keep my distance indeed.

Relax @VH fan you are a good chap and I like you. I just worry because you seem to spend a great deal of time explaining yourself and what you really mean. I fully believe in levity.....however it should not replace sincerity entirely. I'm not trying to tell you how to live your life....but when a person projects a demeanor of sincerity...then tend to be taken seriously. It bears repeating that I do in fact think you are a pleasant fellow.

Are you calling me a glutton for punishment?!?!?!?!?!?

I agree wholeheartedly. Have I mentioned I come from "The Shit Family"? My father always extolled the benefits of a good bowel movement. And when he did he put his arms up in the air like he was the pope.

If she hit her head that hard, you need to wake her up every hour to make sure she dont stay a sleep..

Wife almost bled to death?? Glad you did get there in time!
