awww penny! sorry to hear yer toe is broke....broken toes suck - they can't really DO anything for them!!! rest up-sit outside-have a drink-whatever it takes!!

dropped my van off this morning and got my rental one (long story short they had to call 5 different sites to find a van) I should have my van back in the beginning of June

got lots of plans for the long weekend - now if anything gets done, its another story

 

[roseprincess]

yankee penny- sorry about your big toe
Prayers and PD for your big toe to heal
I think the other word you are talking about is plantar fascitis?
I have plantar fascitis(sp) of both feet. I have these expensive inserts in my gym shoes- the inserts have lasted 13yrs so far- got them from the foot dr.

Hope everyone else is doing well!

My kids have a musical program at school they are in tonight. DH is going to videotape and I use the camera.

Have a good day everyone.

FRACTURED LEFT BIG TOE

Ouch! As a veteran of a fractured big left toe (yup, exactly the same ) the one thing I can tell you is be sure to wear supportive shoes. I know that no one wants to do this in the summertime but I really caused more damage by not listening to the ER doctor's orders. I wore deck shoes to the ER and he specifically told me not to wear them or sandals but I didn't listen. I ended up having heel problems in my left foot that are still with me. I know it's a PITA to have to wear sneakers or shoes like them but do it anyway.

I hope you feel better soon.

Anyway, I got lucky today with the jury duty. I had been through voir dire last week and had been assigned to one case this morning and another tomorrow afternoon. When we entered the courtroom this morning the judge told us that our services were not needed and that service for this particular case was completed.

I sure hope the same thing happens with tomorrow afternoon's case!!

Akdar, I hope your jury duty goes well too and that you won't have to serve.

yankeepenny - sorry to hear hope it starts to feel better soon....know it hurts like heck.

I fractured my right foot (got stitches in my big toe) by dropping a 2 liter bottle of Pepsi on it ; never saw so much blood. ER staff told me they get them all the time (while they tried not to laugh). Ortho surgeon they called in said he came in on a toe-truck .

Got a feeling PTs in the cards & maybe cortisone shots (or Crocs, lots of Cros) if it's plantar faciitis....Good luck!

i'm a committee woman in our County; wonder if it's what saved me from jury duty all these years? Kudos to those who willing serve.

YIKES yankeepenny! that is awful!

You will be in our thoughts and prayers!

I am the ONLY person in the world who had fun at jury duty. Grant it, it was years ago - but i had a blast. I was in group one and was assigned immediately after voir dire so i did not wait long. It lasted 3 days and had to do with a traffic accident. I was so excited because i was elected to be the jury foreman (or forewoman in this case). So when the judge asked the jury "how do you find the defendant", i took a deep breath all excited to say "we, the jury, find the defendant NOT GUILTY" When the judge cuts me off and says - "ma'am just hand us the paper please"! LOL!

Too many episodes of law and order i guess. he he


It did, howeve, make me really nervous to learn the what the average juror's intelligence level is - at least here in atlanta. NOW that was scary.

I did jury duty many years ago - one and only time. We heard a case about a young man who had gotten a DUI. The state's case was overwhelming against the defendant, so we found guilty. After the judge read the verdict, the defending attorney asked for the jury to be polled and the defendant's girlfriend started sobbing and sobbing. Come to find out, this was like his 3rd DUI and he lost his license forever and did a little jail time.

Some time later, months. . maybe even a year or two, I read an article in the newspaper about a young man who had been killed by a hit and run driver while he was walking down the side of the road. Yep, it was the young man we had found guilty of DUI. I always wondered if the hit and run driver was drunk, but to my knowledge, they never found him. And I've never been called up for jury duty since (knocking wood!).

On a more upbeat note, we are going to Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri for the holiday weekend. Anyone else love this place?

GOOD MORNING, SUNSHINES!!!

I have been up all night as well. Ready to watch The Shield, shower, then hit the hay I guess. Anyone else into The Shield this year? It's one of our favorite shows.

And, can anyone talk about the Heroes finale with me? Why did the bomb have to go off? Was Nate not good until Linderman ... you know (don't want to risk a spoiler).

keisha, 30 days, I'm jealous. I have 136.

 

[macraven]

So, then, tell me... do you like Ronnie better with the beard or without the beard? I'm of the "with the beard" camp!

 

[macraven]

[AlexandNessa]

I am really on a roll being confusing today! I loved the beard! I was disappointed he shaved it.

Anyway, it is a good season this year, isn't it? I suppose I should go watch last night's episode. After I unload our friggin dishwasher .....

 

[macraven]
