Click For Summary
Turbo has sustained a severe ankle sprain, requiring the use of crutches and resulting in significant bruising and swelling. The injury occurred during a skiing incident where he avoided a child but fell hard, leading to a painful recovery process. Despite the discomfort, Turbo is managing his injury with ice and elevation, although he expresses concern about not being fully healed in time for gardening season. The community is rallying around him, sending well wishes and humorous suggestions for coping with the pain, including the use of beer and creative remedies. There are discussions about the potential need for medical attention, with some members urging him to consider an X-ray to rule out fractures, given the severity of the bruising. Turbo remains optimistic about his recovery, relying on support from neighbors and friends while navigating the challenges of his injury.

If you wake up one day, get out, touch your crotch, do a moonwalk, and then write, compose, and sell a multi-platinum album, can I have your autograph?

I mostly have to watch out for Duke. He is a big rambunctious boy, and needs to be close to me all the time. If I am re-injured he should be a prime suspect.TheStatutoryApe said:

FYI Turbo, if you have a newer phone that has a touch screen and does all that fancy stuff, you can reach PF from your phone. I do it all the time. Great way to pass the time while on the throne.

My marinara is to die for and it's home-made. Maybe I'll turn the boys and get a nice side-line...

Figured it would be better to put here than in Greg's Birthday thread.turbo-1 said:
You can always check out new music on youtube. Here's a band I was only recently introduced to that you may like, I blend of hard rock with some bluesy sounds. Not sure if it is really up to your more experienced and refined tastes.
There is a whole playlist of their music on youtube and you can find plenty of other artists there like that and just play it in the background.

Thanks, Francis and SA. That song by Clutch is a little over-the-top distortion-wise for my tastes, but I go like bluesy rock for the most part.

Turbo, have you tried Pandora as a source of music?
Here's to hoping the ankle gets better...

Thanks, Jhae. I've not used Pandora, but there are a few others I've tried. Right now, I'm listening to WKIT - the rock station owned by author Stephen King. They have an on-line presence, too. I prefer my CD carousel set to "random" for music, but this way I get some local weather and news too. Bored!jhae2.718 said:
