    Actually I just crushed my left ankle by rolling it, which rearranged some bones and broke some others. So now there's a metal bar and some pins in there to hold things in place. I 've been mostly lurking because it's hard to hold my lapttop under the circumstances. Not having any real pain so...

    Thanks for the concern. smiley

    Oh, how horrible!  Is the hardware permanent, or just there to help you heal correctly?  In any case, I hope recovery is quick and complete!  I'm glad there's no real pain.  I assume that is because of some "aid".

    Dana

    Thanks Dana. Yes the hardware is as pemanent as I am, but it's all fine except that the ankle swells a bit. Time and careful exercise is supposed to take care of that so thumbs up and fingers crossed which makes it hard to type, but waddya gonna do?

    Well, here's hoping that not as much time as expected, does the trick!  Maybe you should try voice command for posting.  That way, you can keep your fingers crossed!   laugh

    Complaint: I'm feeling anxious and down in the dumps for apparently no real reason.

    I remember audio modems.  The fast ones were a zippy 9.6kbaud.  Modems squealed at the beginning of a connection because the bandwidth was so small that the bits rubbed the rust off of the inside of the pipe and screamed in pain until the way was clear again.indecision

    You can tell by the squeals of the trolls, if you visit enough forum threads!

    I remember audio modems.  The fast ones were a zippy 96kbaud.  Modems squealed at the beginning of a connection because the bandwidth was so small that the bits rubbed the rust off of the inside of the pipe and screamed in pain until the way was clear again.indecision

    The last one I had was a US Robotics 56K voice modem.  It was fast.  But nowhere near broadband!  I've since turned it in to the recycling program at Staples, along with a few other extinct or dead items.  I have a few more things to bring there soon, including one or two spent ink cartridges.

    Have you recently been bitten by a zombie?

    Sometimes feeling anxious and down in the dumps is a sign of zombification... Especially if you were hanging out at a radioactive dump site...

    Have you also been craving human flesh...?

    Luckily there is help...

    Zombalta can help...

    I’m not good at consoling people on injuries, health issues, losses, personal problems... actually pretty much everything, but the other day I found out a friend of mine broke his collarbone in five place when he was hit by a car... its probably not much help, but I’ll offer this thought I shared with him...

    With all that hardware they used on you, this could be your first step towards becoming a cyborg...

    This is a good time to get in on the bottom floor of cyborgdom... recently that Adam Savage guy from Myth Busters built a working Ironman Suit... it’s bulletproof and can fly... sorta... it can hover a few feet off the ground... With advances in battery technology and brain transplants, in a couple of years you could go full cyborg...

    Neat hu?

    How much fun would that be... flying around zapping your enemies with lasers, or fighting crime and injustice as an immortal cyborg?

    I’m just putting that out there in case you haven’t considered it yet.

    Anyway... feel better.

    Maybe. Do they leave small, hard lumps on the skin that itches like a beeyatch?

     

  • TSasha SmithTSasha Smith Posts: 27,451

    What happens if a zombie kisses you on the mouth?  Not a peck kind of kiss but maybe a slobbery one?

    Really? Are you sure about that? Because I've read Dracula, and it says that vampires bite your neck. Munching on a foot, which is where the biggest bite is, seems more like something a zombie would do!

    Complaint:  My brain has turned to mush.  Error in my previous post.blush  I meant 9.6kbaud not 96.  I go way back!  When I was working at the Kennedy Space Center back in the early '70s our lab was outfitted with two 9.6kbaud AT&T modems that occupied a good sized section of a standard 19 inch wide equipment rack.  They were way faster than commercial modems available at the time and oodles more expensive.  AT&T had to come in every month and tweak the signal waveforms so that they were the proper shape to make it through the specially run phone lines from the Launch Control Center, three miles to the space center's weather station where my computers had sent computer screen captures to the corresponding modem and display device that the weatherman used to watch the distribution of the atmospheric electric field intensity over the space center.  Back then 9.6kbaud was blazing fast!

    Um - wasn't that meant to be 19 inch, not 18? We had 19 inch equipment racks for the Radars, Radio Links, Satellite Telecom equipment, no-break power, etc. (American (partly WW-II suff), British, Japanese, European equipment) never heard of 18.

    If I was alive in the 70s I was in my previous life. I was either a post hippy disco chick who threw out all her bras or possibly a sailor on a merchant ship on the great lakes.

    Also I'm 97% done on this render and I think I accidently scaled down the brunette's head.

    It is sunny outside and mostly cloudy.  It is cloudy enough to be sprinking which is not good for my notebook or iPad.  I wonder where my ride is.  I rather not pack up quite yet as I want to write some.

    I've been working on the 1st page of a story for days. Everytime I come back to it I start rewriting it from the beginning... I should scrap everything and start over because right now I'm stuck in a groundhog day of story writing.

    Why didn't I buy more shoes for my Genesis 3 girls during the recent sales?
