Ever just had one of those days?

Originally posted by Evo
This is very much like what happened a few years ago, I had to spend three week in Atlanta for a Convention, so my next door lady, a few years younger than me and and had daughters my girls ages agreed to keep them. Everything seemed ok for the first days, then one night I was preparing for a presentation and my daughter called me at the hotel to let me know that they couldn't wake up the girls mother that morning, she had died during night. They were all alone in a house with a dead woman. :rolleyes:
That sucks, Evo. Plus it's macabre for those kids. But I watched my dad die right before my eyes, so I'm experienced at that. And now I have to worry about friend dying and that added to the plethora of f*cking problems in my family is starting to wear on me. I need a beer. :frown:

This was no ordinary reflex I'm talking about.
A few weeks ago I surprised myself at how good my balance was, standing on a flat floor. I realized that I could stand on one foot and move the other foot all around me and do one-leg knee bends at the same time without wobbling at all.
I don't know what kind of klutzes you're used to hanging around with, but everything you mentioned is a perfectly ordinary reflex. I'm 49 years old with arthritis all over my body and a torn tendon in my knee, and none of that stuff is any kind of special occurrence for me. I've never fallen down, including when both feet went out from under me on ice (and that happens a lot when you're walking in Alberta).

I don't know what you mean about a 'close window' button. :confused:
 
  • #4,704
Yeah, you think it's easy? Slipping on ice is nothing compared to standing up when a bus is decelerating hard and unexpectedly. Bottom line is, if you haven't tried this specific activity, well, you haven't tried it.

If you click my "This" link a few posts up it will take you to a single post alone on a page. At the bottom of that page there is a "close window" button.

I like dead silence when I am asleep. There are few places where I can get that. I can hardly ever get it here.

Cars keep rumbling over the bridge over the bay. A dull background ummm that never goes away.
 
  • #4,708
If bicycles were rumbling over the bridge over the bay, it would be pretty noises in the night by Locust Way.

I've tried it plenty. The way traffic and parking are in Calgary, I always take C-Train and buses. I was once also deliberately tripped by some idiot cowboy when I was bartending. Not only did I not fall down, but I only spilled one drink on a tray of 7 and managed to smack him in the head on the way back up. :approve:

n-thousand-and-one's the n-thousandth reply, or that's the rule that now holds sway. I used to say, it's child's play, n-thousandth beats it, every day. But no no no, says the PF C.I.A.

Danger, hey! Can you do knee-bends like I say?

Nope, with slipping on ice, you have no traction under your feet to regain balance quickly. Buses are easier than ice. And, BT, that's buses AND trains. I wrote buses OR trains because you only take one at a time. No need to second guess what I write.

I can't do knee-bends at all. That torn tendon (which I've had since I was 16) limits flexation of my left leg to about 70% of normal.

PS: Ingenious little technique you have here for racking up your post count.

Buses push and pull you unpredictably. Ice is much easier because you're never off balance anyway. If you're careful, you can run across ice pretty easily. Now, a tug of war on ice might be a different story.

Well, I'm more of a "monologue" person than a "conversation" person. We all make our own styles. :cool:

Conversations are too often just assuring one another that everyone has the same culture.

This thread is BT's home! Alot of his posts are followed by himself!
 
  • #4,736
Imagine how well you'd be able to carry on an ordinary conversation with a 17th century English merchant. You might think you'd have a lot of information to share, and that might be true (if he were willing to share), but after a while you'd realize that he believes women should be homemakers, that all your sexual innuendo offends him, that he believes in the Bible verbatim, and that he knows almost nothing about science.
 
  • #4,737
And doesn't the simple fact that all conversation is based around finding "something in common" to talk about mean something to you?

Is everything okay BT?
I usually appreciate your posts and I even like the graphics, but you are acting a little strange today. How are you doing?

Nah, he's been like this before. It's his way of trying to kill the thread.

I'm working on a sinister plan too. Since we've already had mud wrestling, I've been fantasi...er, thinking about some kind of sporting event for the male members...

As long as you're between us to mediate, it could work.

I think we need to get DocToxyn and Huckleberry as the main contenders. Shirtless, right? :biggrin:

Looks like I better get back to the treadmill and situps. I wouldn't want to be totally shown up by Doc Toxyn. What are we doing anyway?
