I can barely make it to the bathroom. :frown:

Maybe the bone is pinching/rubbing a nerve. If it isn't healing right, that's a good possibility and would explain the amount of pain. You'll want that checked out soon if that's what's going on, so you don't end up with permanent nerve damage.

Just finished the pizza. My daughter was ecstatic when she saw the pizza boxes come through the door.

So am I all alone tonight?

I'll be working but online. Later, we can get drunk and fight about Ron Paul. :biggrin:

[After his interview on MTP, I see him much like Perot now: some good ideas - sometimes refreshingly radical ideas - but not Presidential material]

Sorry to hear that your arm is giving you so much trouble. You should definitely get into see a doctor soon - like right now.

I think so, I have tingling and numbness in my fingers.

Sorry guys, I need to whine.

Yep, sounds like it's pressing on a nerve. Don't wait on that. May be a nightmare to see a doctor tomorrow (you might want to wait until they're not hungover), but schedule an appointment for Wed if you can't get in tomorrow. You don't want to mess around with that...and keep your arm immobilized until you can get in...do you have something you can fashion into a makeshift sling (or even an actual sling kicking around from the original injury)? I hear Tsu is available to scan your arm tonight...bring her an appletini and maybe she'll introduce you to a nice doctor while you're at it. :biggrin: :wink:

Sorry guys, I need to whine.

Red or white? :biggrin:

Im ready for some new years kisses from beautiful women. I have on my black dress pants, white collar shirt, black silk tie, black v-neck sweater on top, black glasses, black leather watch, black belt with silver buckle, black dress shoes, grey socks, jet black hair combed back and trimmed beard, and a houndstooth fedora. Who do I get to kiss first?

PS I smell good too.

Roasted cornish hens with an apple and mandarin orange stuffing (prepared on the side, but will be served tucked under the hens), rosemary and garlic roasted baby potatoes (fresh ones, not Woollie's exploding ones from a can :smile:), and snow peas sauteed with garlic and butter. Dessert will be a flourless chocolate cake with molten center.
Yum yum! If I didn't have many more hours of work in the lab, I'd drive the 3 hours to M'town, uninvited!

Getting into an urgent care facility shouldn't be too bad tonight before the late part of the evening...that is if they have urgent care around. I think most places have them associated with the ER now. They can probably check to see if there is anything time-critical to worry about. They can also prescribe some stronger drugs.

...of course, Evo already knows the emergency medical care system intimately!

Happy New Year! It's after 1 AM here. My guests are already in bed (not sure if they're sleeping :wink: :wink:), the cat hasn't decided if she's ready to come out of hiding (she got brave for a bit and joined us at midnight, until they invaded the second floor too), and I'm not drunk...the drinks we ended up making were all so sweet that I'm on more of a sugar rush than anything, so will either be awake a while longer, or will soon crash from the sugar rush.

They made you work in the lab tonight? That's not right! There's still leftovers. Too bad, you could've come over...none of the maybe's showed up (I wasn't counting on it...for some reason, people around here can't just say "no" so say "maybe" instead, as far as I can tell).

You're not planning to drive to Chicago anytime soon, are you? :-p

Oh yeah, I am at work, so not much celebrating here, we have a bad UPS in one of our tools. That should occupy us for a few hours.

The first day of 2008 gone all ready, it is strange as we hardly have seasons any more, i was out side in shirt sleeve at 2 in the morning.

We've got plenty of snow here to mark the new year! It's been clear and slightly warm the whole time I was on vacation. Now I'm supposed to be at work, and have to deal with shoveling the snow from the driveway (needless to say, I'll be getting in late today...I'm still staring at what looks like a good 6-8 inches out there when I was expecting maybe 2 inches based on yesterday's forecast). Considering it's still snowing, and there's no evidence a plow has come through my development yet, I guess I'm not starting my work day until after lunch.
 
  • #79
We've got at least a foot of fresh snow. Luckily, my wife was able to plow through the snow bank at the end of the driveway with her Subaru Legacy, so I can take my time and let the winds die down a bit before clearing the snow away. We've already gotten more snow in the past month than we've gotten all winter for many years.

The good thing is the snow looks light and fluffy, so probably won't be too bad to drive in or shovel (though I'm still just staring at it thinking this is way more than the forecast prepared me to wake up to). It's the giant sled with rocks at the bottom that they call a road in my development that makes me nervous about heading out. That, and watching the bad drivers on the main road...they plowed the main road about a half hour ago, and it looks pretty clear, but there are either some icy patches I can't see from here, or the drivers out right now are horrendous. The snow looks like it's slowing down, so I'll just give it a little longer and hopefully only have to shovel the driveway once (keep hoping the plow will come through before I shovel so I don't have to go back out when I get home at the end of the day and clear away the mound of snow the plow always leaves at the end of the driveways).

Oslo is almost snowless.

I'm still holding out on the driveway, hoping the plow comes by for a final pass. We've gotten so much snow that they'll have to push the banks back with the wing plow, and that will fill the end of the driveway. I don't want to suit up and fire up the snow-blower twice if I can help it.

My parents/family (military) lived in Oslo (and Bergen) when I was 2-3---We have photos standing in front of that tall cylindrical statue of 'wrapped' people----They told me that it was one of the nicest places they had ever lived.

Oh, yes, the Monolith, or Phallus in the Vigeland Park.
Did your father work at Kolsås, then, in a capacity for Nato?

I'm glad they enjoyed their stay!

What?!---what an endearing name for it!


The work?---from what I've been told--I can't talk about it:rolleyes:


From all the photos they took, it looks like it was great---They told me I spoke 1/2 Norwegian and 1/2 English when we moved back to the states---at the same time----for about a year--

One thing I still have is one of those heavy (I mean HEAVY--30 lbs, maybe)--wool lined, white army winter/snow Norwegian army coats with govt. stamps/writing--oh boy, is it warm!

Murphy's law...I gave up waiting since sometimes they don't get around to plowing us until the end of the day, and shoveled the driveway so I could get it done before lunch and then grab a hot shower, a hot lunch, and deal with the ski slope between me and the exit to the development to at least spend a half day at the office today. Got done, just having a cup of hot cocoa to warm up before making the rest of lunch and wouldn't you know the plow just came through. (Ooh, but looks like he pushed the snow to the other side today! Yay! It's not all mounded in my driveway! :smile:)

Then they either worked at Huseby or Kolsås. :smile:

YAY! I managed to make mine and all threee of us (me, FB & Dr Foofer) pigged out, I must say these were the best black eyed peas I've ever made. I made a double batch of greens so the Evo Child would have some and I ate them all. :redface:

Same here. I hope this means a successful ski season there.

I always hated it when the plow would come by right after I did the driveway. That snow is so heavy and packed from the plow. Luckily my new place has plowing and shoveling included, right up to my front door. Then they apply a ton of snow melt, so it's kept clear of ice.
