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!

Post-Run Tip of the Day

By Stephanie -
This is a tip for those who might run where giant swarms of gnats sometimes loiter by the side of the road. This tip stems from a run on the Mayan Riviera in Mexico, but I've encountered swarms of gnats in Virginia and Kentucky as well. After your run, always stop and look in a mirror before going into public. Otherwise, you might actually complete a transaction at the resort store and greet five people before realizing you have up to 15 gnats stuck to your face and neck.
