About 8 years ago, I went to a paperhanger's workshop up in Springfield, MA. I drove 3 hours to Dulles Int'l, flew into Hartford, CT and rented a car to get me from Hartford to Springfield. It was more party than workshop and I ended up going out with my guys, one of whom was the designated driver (good thing, too :)). Anyway, they got me back to my hotel at 4:11am. I remember this because I was thinking, "CRAP! I have to get up in 2 hours, so I can return the rental car and make my plane."

As an aside, I have a fear of locking my keys in my car. I have a key ring that clips to my purse.

So, back to the story. I got 2 hours sleep. Woke up in agony. I mean, with each step I took, I had to stop and put my eyeballs back in...I was that hungover.

Got to the airport, returned the car, made my flight. Miserable seat on the plane. It was crowded and I was in the center seat.

We were cruising over New York City, and it occurred to me....I had turned in my car keys with the rental car keys. I had put them on my key ring with all the other keys. I suddenly had this terrible conversation in my head, "Honey? Hi. Yes, I had a good time. Umm, would you mind driving three hours up to Dulles and unlock my car?"

After hyperventilating for a bit, I remembered I had a spare set of car keys in a little pocket in my purse. Which was also a good thing because it took the rental car company 2 weeks to get my keys back to me.

I don't think I've been that hungover since. But damn, I have fun with those guys.

Lmbo!! That was the best story ever! I do admit I had a blast! I got home from 2 nights of partying around 5am on Sunday morning. Luckily I was off on Sunday but I was still exhausted on Monday! I'm thinking maybe ill have to lay off of the tequila at the reception...Maybe! The weddings in 2 weeks & I know that'll be a blast too! Her mom loves to do everything really over the top & for as much as I've spent in bridesmaids expenses ill be taking full advantage of that open bar! Lol! And no worries...I have a designated driver! I figure ill party it up since it'll probably be quite a while before I party again!!

Actually I was thinking that maybe holding the chisels too tight, I have a deathgrip on those things lol.
That would prob do it. Do you have ibuprofen or anything you can take before you go to bed. I'd really get a wrist brace and start wearing it. Maybe Stormy will be back with other/better advice.

Oh, I did see on Dr. Oz one time, he said to stretch that out, you place your hands together, palm to palm, like your praying. Forearms in a horizontal position, and pushing your palms together, move your hands (still touching)downward, and as you do it your elbows will slightly move up. He said to do it off and on whenever you are on the computer for long periods to stretch that out.

But see what Stormy says. She may say not to do that if you're really inflamed.

No sweetie, you don't need one, they are just easier for a lot of us if we do a lot of texting or typing on our phones, you see the small tip, the rubber tip, that is what you type with and for me and some others it's actually a lot faster. Also, when you have gloves on in the winter, if you have a stylus you don't have to take your gloves off ;)
Well KISS MY GRITS, I had no idea such a device existed...like I said, I'm slow...:laugh::laugh:

.....if you don't understand..."kiss my grits"....I cannot help....you're too young to understand.:lol::lol::lol:

Great story! I've only been severely drunk/hung over maybe 3 times in my life and just don't feel the need to ever do it again. I am pretty much the one that takes care of all my drunk friends/family members and I quite like being in the position to do so.

I used to do "other" stuff back in my day but now I like being in complete control of my thoughts and actions.
