I was there on the diet plan and it worked... every time I walked out I was lighter than when I walked in.

I used to visit Vegas regulary back in the early 80's - I must have been on the same diet plan. :rolleyes: I came out a head a few times, but at least I had the foresight to always set a limit for losing and always stuck to it - I was there to enjoy myself - not trying to get poor or rich for that matter... I had no limit on the few nights that I cam out as a winner, but there always seemed a point that I did not want to push my luck and would head out the door to keep what I had won in tact... :D

Me: "I tried to follow your directions, but when I found the house with the green tin roof, . . .

I swear, I've heard almost every one of those, but in the oil field in the San Juan Basin, it's the blue tin roof.

Then there's the one that takes you miles down the dirt road where there's a side road just past the cattle guard, you know the one, the one that goes past the cow pond and the drip tank battery? "Well, that's not where you turn".

Are you kidding me, Sarge, really???? :)

I need some advice. If you remember when I went to my prosthetist Friday before last he had me try this test socket with it only attached with fiberglass and glue instead of being attached with screws. The first step I took I ended up on the hard floor because it broke off. Well my side hurt a little on Saturday but now it hurts like I broke a rib. I don't want to get this guy in trouble with the company but I don't know what to do about it. Seems like it hurts a little worse each day. I know there isn't really anything they can do about a broken rib but let it heal but I don't know what I should do about the injury itself. I can put up with the pain but don't know if I should say anything about it to the company. I'm pretty sure I broke a rib I've had one before but I hate to get this guy in trouble. I know it will heal eventually. It's weird how it only hurt a little for the first 3 days or so then worse each day after. What do you think?
Pat, pain that's getting worse each day would dictate to me that you need to be checked. Please please don't feel any obligation to that fellow....after all, it's YOU having the pain, not him. I know you are concerned that he not get in trouble, but compare that to the trouble you're experiencing now. Not good!
With skin on bone (as you've described), that needs to be addressed, and soon...

Take care Pat, cause I love ya!!

Well we decided to pack up and get out of the snow while the roads were clear this afternoon. Spending the night in Wilkes-Barre. Getting to here today means we will be home Tuesday. Yay!
Yay! Be careful, & don't be sick! How's hubby feeling?

The directions to my friend's ranch were to go 9.3 miles past the prison, take a right on the only road there, can't get confused cause there is no left, go all the way to the end of the road, turn left into that driveway, can't get confused cause there is no right, go down the driveway past that house, cross the cattleguard, follow the tracks to the right across the pasture till you see the log house. You can't see it from the road but you can't miss it either.

Phenomenally good news, Slots. :) Way to go, Washington State Vapers! Keep vigilant though. ANTZ have a habit of infesting everything when you're unaware.

ccgranny, so great we got ya to post again! How ya been doin'? Any vapin' updates? Been a while ya know...!


Great info for @Vape? . My story is similar...

Never tire of da stories!

Seems the crud hubby has hit me last night so I feel like crap.

Well, get well, quick!


Well at first it just hurt a little bit today is the worst it has hurt since I did it.

Our stalwart Pat,

PLEASE, 'stand up' for yourself! With all you've been thru, there's no reason for you to suffer further medical incompetence!!!

Go ahead and do da 'undercover' approach. BUT, don't let anyone off da 'hook'! It's your frickin' welfare dat matters da most.

Yes, I spout off and give some unwarranted/unwanted and boisterous advice at times, BUT you, not me/we, suffer physically as a result!!! It just breaks my heart & soul to vicariously experience your turmoils.
Dammit dude, we all truly care for and love you and your bride...

Welcome back, glad to see you haven't forgotten your way here.


My wife and I went on a motorcycle run from Halfmoon Bay to Reno. Our son had recently gotten out of the Navy, so he came along with us on my other motorcycle. That evening he called up to our room to see if we were there. He said he had won $100 and wanted to put it in the room so he wouldn't spend it. He was really proud as he had them give him a $100 bill and it was the first time he had ever had one. Needless to say, he didn't want to break the bill, so for the remainder of the trip, we paid for his meals and gas because he didn't have any other money. That was the best $100 he ever won. LOL


I think you should talk with him about it. He at least, needs to know that the glue and fiberglass is not a good way to secure the socket. AND go see your doctor. Pain can cause other problems and you don't need any more problems. :2c:
Well he knows that now he was sitting right there and so was my wife. He was in a state of shock and didn't even get out of his chair at first to help me get off the floor. I didn't have anything to grab to help me get up and only one leg well 1/2 a leg.

I will call my doc tomorrow and see if I can get her to order an xray. Last time it took almost a week but that one was my own fault he should have known as soon as I put some weight on it the ankle and foot would break loose from the socket but I trusted what he said and tried to take a regular step and it just folded up under me.

Hubby is feeling somewhat better, but this crud and deep chest coughing really takes a lot out of ya. I started taking Zycam as soon as he got sick, so hopefully mine will get better faster. Still taking it, along with Mucinex. Seems to work best on me and chest congestion.

Hay! Me olde' stompin' grounds. Born n' raized in da area. :D

wow, small world! On the radio/TV they seem to pronounce it Wilkes-Barry. Bugs me when hubby says Wilkes-Bar. Geesh!

@2legsshrt, hope you can get checked out quickly. That's nothing to mess with whoever was "at fault".

Know the area well..my daughter went to Kings College......and I will say that she had already started her first day at Temple U., and then we got the mail that Kings College was ready for her.......so, that's the college from which she graduated. What a wonderful decision. Don't get me wrong, Temple U is quite a fine institution, but her dream was Kings.......
