You sure are sweet, neebee... Touching that a stranger would go out of their way to do that.
You know we have no mail in Canada, they use pigeons and hope for the best.

Whaaaaaaaat too sissy to lead!
Sorry I won't use the P word out of context where it might offended. Being a girl and all you get a get outa jail free card. Now in person my mouth is rotten.
How long have you climbed ice for, how hard do you follow without getting gripped or freaked out.?
Depending on how you answer next year you are getting on the sharp end! It will be your big post surgery come back present goal accomplishment thingy...

this thread is devoted to too much information....
so i offer you, entirely too much information, etmi.
a bowel movement has a life cycle, like every other fleeting entity.
it starts with urge,
then a desperation,
then action on the part of the carrier.
a sit ensues.
relief. free flow contents.
an unpleasant aroma.
satisfaction.
now comes the point in the life cylce
where we can warp our relation ship with the universe.
a pause in the action;
we are left sitting there, idle, but hopeful of more.
(usually it's just a fart that is blocking further entrail)
whenever we hope, the universe sees an an opportunity to
seize a smile,
so i always fool the universe with my cunning
and i hope for nothing.
i even do the cliche "i-don't-give-a-shite-whistle..."
i start reading a good climbing essay or
logging-how-to-sequence and
avert my emotional investment away from my bowels
and the universe looses interest in my torture
and wraps it's stinging tentacles around some other, more venerable victim.
now that the universe isn't looking,
the fart frees up and moves on down the pipe
opening up the passage for the last
stubborn turd.
now on empty the driver
becomes janitor and has
to clean the window to dark souls.
a swipe, another.
now wash hands.
let's get on with the damn day.

I had to stop looking at facebook all together for about a month. I just couldn't deal with it when i was stuck in a rehab bed.
Did you ask your doc for pain killer options yet??? You know oxy's aren't helping your mental state...
Sorry to hear you couldn't sleep. I had nights like that at first too.

well I'm done with Oxycontin, now taking Oxycodone 5mg, maybe 4-6 a day, out of 12 max.
I see Dr next week so will ask. I do get spurts of intense pain, but not sure if that's because I am stretching my bone or swelling or what.

Ditching Facebook was one of the best things I ever did. Really, fact, I can't stress it enough, it's not natural and goes against everything that is natural and human about us.
Now if I could just throw the tv and computer in the trash and be done with it all. Sh#t I gave up my cell phone for two years and loved every minute of it. I didn't miss it even. Bit. I only got one again after I started climbing as it drove my partners nuts!
For real at least right now for the time being I say ditch Facebook it will just f*#k with your head. It's funny us humans even when we know something is not good for us we will keep doing it. Watching what others are doing all the time, them watching you, all the subtle and not so subtly ways it f*#ks with or influences persons mind it would had otherwise. It does just stop doing it for 6 months and you will see!
I know my ways are a bit extreme for some.
Post injury I think even ST goes by the way of the birds...
I know I know you hurry and get f*#king better than would yah..

how about a funny story?
is this a good place for a funny story?
may i.
do do do do doooooo. due. duo.
never mind.
so i was working with paul,
and he heads up an ooooold black oak.
with this dead thing, right in the middle
of it's crotch, like a big f*#k you to the world,
and this guy who had stupid nra stickers all over his big truck
wanted it gone.
so paul'll do it.
i offer,
hey paul, you ok for a bit?
i'm going to kill this other offensive oak limb and i'll be back in a sec.
him: sure.
so i drag my sh#t out and hike up the hill, wrestle up this huge girth wet slimy mossy thing and get set for the strike.
the f*#king dude, with his beer and the resulting belly extruding from his waist band, is gnawing at me from the ground,
telling me how to position for the cut.
im polite, but im thinking, like,
shut the f*#k up dude. go for a hike or something.
romeo wanted juliet.
julio wanted romeo....
then paul yells out, CHUCK!
so i'm like, what?
what do you need?
i need a bigger saw.
hey man i'm already established in this tree, can you give 5 minutes to limb it down?
sure. hurry the f*#k up though, the ants are getting me.
now. being a tree guy,
and a rock guy.
i can hear the urgency in his reply.
so the f*#king guy is still gabbing over the rim of his beer,
and i'm like.
dude. shut up. i have to get this job done,
then get down to my friend paul,
who is lashed to a nest that is eating him.
he finally backs up.
i lob the limb in 2 goes
and hustle back to my buddy and give him the right saw.
linger ooonnnn. your pale blue eyes...
thought of you as my mountain top.
thought of you as my peak.....
though of you as everything,
that i've had but couldn't keep....
ooops, side track on a sunbeam..
where was i?
anyway i forgot in my haste to get back to paul,
my rope.
i left the f*#ker there, hanging from his tree,
black on black.
and then, the damn republican,
he stiffs us 20 bucks.
i guess in his school 420 rounds down to 400
f*#king hood.

facebook is a pointless exercise in vanity.
look at me and all the cool sh#t I buy, or all the cool restaurants I go to, or how amazing I am, or how much better I am than you, or how many shitty all inclusive resorts I go to a year to sit on my ass get laid and get drunk, or how amazing my life is because I have kids, or rescued dogs, or..... you get the idea.
I have taken a couple breaks but always go back. sometimes it is just fun. but I find there is so much more bragging/chest beating going on that it makes me feel bitter and pissed off. sometimes it is just too much information.
like going away for a weekend climbing and coming back to a non-stop flood of oscars bullsh#t. how do I even know people who consider watching this farce a highlight of their weekend? is this life? talking about the oscars, or some other useless, irrelevant bullshit awards show?
maybe it's just me...

i was just taking a leak
in my yard i live pretty rural
and the ups man walks up
the dog didn't even
bark he's got those little
cookies and he's like the pusher
and my guard dog is all strung out,
anyway
i apologized,
it was kinda awkward,
then i realized that we both had packages in our hand,
the only difference was that,
well they were both mail,
i don't know what the difference was,
i guess i'll find out when i open
the she package.

Anita, if it took one gnarly operation and some pain meds to realize that, you are way ahead of most people in this world. We have even given up TV (omgod!!) in this house. We do still watch movies...
If TV or the internet isn't cutting it for ya, find a good book or 3, or help Sanskara start his tasty vegan junk food business. Something. You definitely need something to keep your mind occupied during this period. btw, the leg shots look good. Seems like your coming along nicely. What length enhancement are they shooting for?

Weeg,
You're funny, and talented! I enjoy observing you via SP...
Not just your writing although at the moment that is what I most I mostly make reference to. Your home, the things you build. Pretty spectacular, you are clearly not lazy. I also enjoy your on again off again love affair with the sauce. I can relate although I abstain or death is sure to follow sooner than later. Worse than death though is the suffering of those that love me that have no say in the matter.
Anita,
You and I have the same disease. I don't relate one little bit with popular culture or much of society.
Really I belong in some artsy little hippy town but I am stuck here amongst well the type you describe so well above :(
It's tough these self imposed first world problems we wrestle with ;)

nah, I have always thought this. I lash out with nasty comments and rant-like 'updates' but no one really gets it. and if it is so bad, why not leave? I guess there are some parts of FB I enjoy, but there's too much BS to wade through to find it.
there is no cable here and net flix is too complicated. can watch movies, read, contemplate life...
I am lengthening 4cm. I am almost half way through my strut turns, so the worst of it is almost half way done. then wait for bone to consolidate and heal.
edit: I am still waiting for his samples. until then he can be a troll using a text generator for all I know!

4 cm. Facking A is right.....They're going for a sizeable chunk of the difference, but you are almost half way there. Sending good vibes/praying your way. Whichever you prefer.
Sanskara, I know your out there... If you are entheusastic (fu#k the spelling shit) about it, you should at least think about the vegan thing. It's all about the passion. I'm a 6 out of 7 day vegan.

Facebook is good if you keep it to just family and real friends. I get to see what the family and friends who have moved away are up to. I have 117 friends. some of my friends have over a thousand friends. how do you even know that many people? I should take a break from the taco, MP, neice and neclimbs.. killed my TV four years ago and only have a tracfone for a cell. no internet on the cell just for important calls.
