Ugh, sounds like what I went through last year. I hope she has fewer issues with infection than I did.My wife joined an adult soccer league for the first time in about 10 years, now that our kids are older and we're starting to get our time back. Keep in mind my wife is in great shape. She exercises a lot, doing bootcamp and running. First game: complete rupture of the ACL, and a torn meniscus. She had surgery 2 weeks ago, and was completely immobile for a couple of days, and she'll be on crutches for a while. Says she's never playing soccer again, which is kind of sad, since before this break, she played since she was old enough to walk.
I have “never load remote images” turned on in my email just to avoid this kind of web beacon BS.I complained to my boss about the 0x0 image and he said that it wasn't fair and really more of a flaw with the system so if I can prove to IT that that's how it works (shouldn't be hard) I don't have to watch the video.
So you're saying you missed your chance to politely refuse salad dressing by using your surgery as an excuse?My grandfather is clearly trying to kill us. All of his salad dressing expired mid 2017 but he serves it anyway. Also he still steadfastly refuses to get any broadband internet.
Oh no I definitely did that.So you're saying you missed your chance to politely refuse salad dressing by using your surgery as an excuse?
None yet. The surgery was laparoscopic, and they only made 5 small holes, Externally, she's fine. In fact, she's 2 weeks ahead of schedule on physical therapy, they say.Ugh, sounds like what I went through last year. I hope she has fewer issues with infection than I did.
Grumble grumble.
Somehow, I think this news story is relevant to @GasBandit 's current situation:

Well fuck you, you baby millenial.Any younger readers would not be familiar with such dark times while the rest of us will remember only being able to go online at home, school or the notorious internet cafés we had available out there.
"I don't plan on keeping it. Oh, hey, you wanna come over for dinner next week?"Some PETA cultist got into my friend's head and has made her feel like she's committing a crime for getting a bunny. -_-
More "I can't believe I've spent my whole life having pets and never questioned if it was wrong." I feel like I'm talking to a wall; she's got this nonsense stuck in her mind now and until she backs away from it, there's not going to be any helping her."I don't plan on keeping it. Oh, hey, you wanna come over for dinner next week?"
Absolutely. While cats and dogs are most common, a lot of pets would be prey animals in the wild. Her rabbit has over a decade life expectancy right now as a pet. I promise that's better than any wild rabbit in the world.It's ridiculous to think that having a pet is wrong. I'm hoping to get reincarnated as a housecat. If I woke up as a bunny, I'd be utterly relieved to be somebody's pet instead of constantly on the lookout against foxes.
Life in the wild is short and brutal, and we're doing good by keeping pets away from that horrour.
Didn't I mention I got a new job? Yeah, it's babysitting 24 children and 18 teens. Quite the challenge, honestly.Yeah, absolutely, the way we treat our pets might be immoral.
BTW, are you taking over @stienman's duties while he's away? Your posts seem to be getting longer and more informative.
I'm sure there's a website that can have someone bike over and deliver it to your door. I mean, we have them over here.Sam's Club is refusing to ship protein shakes to me anymore, I have to drive all the way over there and pick them up like some kind of plebian.
I'm picturing a cyclist traversing a sprawling town, baking under the Texas sun as he makes maybe 1 delivery an hour.I'm sure there's a website that can have someone bike over and deliver it to your door. I mean, we have them over here.
Probably not for ~5 bucks though, which was the cost of shipping.I'm sure there's a website that can have someone bike over and deliver it to your door. I mean, we have them over here.
