The fancy places charge big money for pedicures. Unfortunately, the polish is not the expensive part.

This image is kind of funny. 6'2" mean looking jacked guy stands on street corner, crushed Coors can in hand wearing a t-shirt that says "If you want my guns, come and get them" Studchaser: Awww, darling, you look rough. Need someone to protect you?

The biting thing sounds dicey. It's probably a good thing he hasn't come back. For DIY pedicures, try using a 40% urea foot cream for a few days and a cheese grater foot file. Your feet will be like new.

@Rod Hagen, Have you had any imaging done? It might be worthwhile if PT/home exercises aren't working. Tennis elbow can be a symptom of degenerative disc disease on the c-spine.

Looks like this protest was astroturfed. From the article: “John Saxon, a math book publisher and retired Oklahoma math teacher, and about 20 others carried signs reading "The Button's Nothin' Til the Brain's Trained" and "Beware: Premature Calculator Usage May Be Harmful to Your Child's Education."”

I love that they put on a jacket and tie for this protest.

I turn my outdoor lights on at dusk and turn them off at midnight. My neighbors know the system, and if the light doesn’t get turned on, they’ll party.

I’ll bet he’s known as “the virgin guy” on 3 different sex worker group chats.

CIA and FBI especially. And there’s always Navy Seals Team 6.

I came across this. What other untruths do people tell providers?

Happy birthday to one of the kindest posters on this board!

I didn't make up the title of the thread. 😉

Most women are drivers. So you have lots of options if you want to fuck women drivers.

I eat only flaky white fish, especially cod, sole, and Chilean sea bass. Trout tastes too fishy, even for me. 😉

Yes, but not the intimate areas you’re talking about. The nurse used topical lidocaine, and the PS who owned the clinic prescribed something (Tylenol 3?) that took the edge off the pain. This was a long time ago though.

I saw my internist, who seemed a little alarmed at the remaining swelling and numbness. There is likely some “nerve involvement.” He warned me to rest the knee and referred me to sports medicine/ortho for follow up care. The sports medicine doctor will see me next week. (Doctor Internist, if you’re reading this, you’re the best!)

I agree with you; Geffen may well have had paid sex with many porn actors, as Jarec Wentworth claimed. He gains nothing from calling attention to this possibility. Why did you choose Epstein as an example though? That guy was very careful to pick girls who would not be believed if they went to the authorities. He even had multiple fake passports ready to go.

Long COVID? Maybe.

Thanks. That’s convenient because, as a child, I only made it to basic spins. By now, all I can do is skate forward.

Thanks for this response, PK! Today I learned what “contused” means. It’s rug burned too. One ortho I saw said I need to try to avoid any activity that puts too much stress on my knee (like squats) to try to preserve the remaining cartilage. Oops! I really want to go ice skating, as life is indeed short and skating does wonders for my mood. I notice, however, that the knee is twitching now, and it’s till sensitive to the touch. And yes, I do usually land on my feet. 🐈

Agreed. My aim is to avoid a partial knee replacement for as long as possible. I see ortho/sports medicine for advice on lifestyle.

When the TSA lines get too long, I get recruited to screen passengers.

Thanks for the response. My internist is extremely thorough and quick with his Epic inbox replies. He has an extremely busy academic practice, and he’s probably slammed until New Year’s, so I’ll just wait until next week. My internist may refer me back to ortho or sports med for further advice. To answer your questions: Per the almost 2-year-old MRI, it’s all cartilage loss with some arthritis. Ligaments are apparently intact but on both sides, except “mild hyperintensity in the distal ACL, possibly focal sprain or partial tearing, otherwise the ACL is intact.” Who knows what the situation is now though. Oh, and I’m not done with the MRIs. I was sent for a new pelvic one. Those are the worst. There I am chilling in the machine, fantasizing about something, and the tech keeps keeps telling me to relax because my uneven respiratory cycle is ruining the images.

Ugh, roller skating spills really hurt. How is your shoulder feeling now? I’m going to wait. My PT doesn’t get back until late January but maybe I’ll go to someone else until then.
