Itch Tip of the Day

By -
If you happen to be wearing a cast, and you have an itch, take the pen cap off before you scratch, lest the cap come off and get stuck where you can't find it!

Ugggh!! Can you imagine having a body cast like that?! Due to said itching, claustrophobia, and not being able to move, I would probably want to be heavily sedated for as long as I'd have to wear it!! I guess I was really lucky when I broke my back a few years ago, not having to wear any sort of brace or cast!

Instead of a pen, you could use a long knitting needle or crochet hook. That would get farther under the cast area without the risk of losing a cap.

Not quite sure what anonymous is saying. Translation, anyone? Oh, and I have permission to tell the body cast story. A good friend of mine, who will remain anonymous, had to be in a body cast, and one day (as was typical) her mother was washing her hair in the tub. So, there she was, leaned back and her mom went to answer the phone. Upon doing this, her little brother took advantage of the situation, and punched her in the nose, BREAKING IT! I just would have cracked up to see that play out! OK, that is not NEARLY as funny on blogger as it is in real life!

So the friend in your story was SarSat, but the indecipherable comment was not. Am I understanding your correctly Jay?

Yes...I was in a body cast for 9 months...and no Pete...I wasn't "anonymous" who posted the weird comment! The worst part of the whole experience was that I had to ride the short bus to school because the regular size bus wouldn't fit down our circle. I was the only person on the bus that could talk...so the bus driver brought me a pop every day because I kept her company! As a kid...I never thought I would laugh at that situation...but it's hilarious to me now! Ask me about it someday...or Jay...he likes to tell the stories!

"Decisions, Decisions" Tip of the Day

By CGrim -
Guys, I know we have a hard time deciding on things. Whether it's between sausage or canadian bacon, Ford or Chevy, holy matrimony or lifelong bachelorhood , Arsenal or Manchester United, Legos or Lincoln Logs. I admit, sometimes we get stuck, astounded by the vast array of options in front of us, afraid to commit to any one of them, for fear of offending the pepperoni. But gentlemen, it's time we committed! Or as Shakespeare said, in a completely unrelated context , "Once more unto the breach, dear friends!" So without further ado, I'd like to present you with the solutions to the quandaries introduced above: 1) Canadian bacon does have an exotic reputation going for it. After all, it's international! You can almost envision those stoic bacon miners, the wild and free men of the great white north, delving deep into the earth in pursuit of that elusive vein of canadian bacon ore! Sadly, and I don't mean to disillusion anyone, but it's reall

Sonny's Tip of the Day

By -
It is a great day for Nicholasville, KY (aka. "Our Town"). They are getting their first Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q . It's a great place to get ribs and other tasty goodness. One such item as their patented bucket of sweet tea. Now Sonny's is from Florida, and that's way farther south then Kentucky and they're a bit better at making their sweet tea then Applebee's. So you gotta be prepared for some sugary goodness. The problem comes when you haven't eaten since the night before and you're really thirsty. You have to resist the urge to drink 64 ounces on an empty stomach. If you don't heed this advice you could find yourself making a weird "Hacuspufffl" sound. Which can only be described as a hick-up/burp/sneeze/I-threw-up-a-little-bit-in-my-mouth combination. So resist the urge, just take a little sip of their delicious sweet tea and then wait for your ribs, your stomach will thank you for it.
