I know of whom you speak. I saw the thread, but resisted temptation.
BTW, great news re: Nana! And a classic line from your wife!

~If~ I were nervous to participate in flamewars, the religion wars here are the last place I would venture.... In fact, if you have argued on the woman/marriage bashing threads and in the religion wars, there aren't too many paths you should fear to tread rosie!
Well, if you put it that way....
But really, even on those threads, I kinda hang on the edges. Some of them get really brutal!
But the worst was that one pitbull thread. That was pretty horrible.
Nana update...I caught the wife on her way home from class and she filled me in. Bad news isn't quite what I thought.
The doctor said her hip is fine. She doesn't need the walker, can walk with a cane. She should basically be back to where she was before this happened.
Better news is that the terrorpists are gone. The nasty terrorpist had written out a list for the doctor, that included things like "continue to use walker."
Wife threw the list away and yelled to Nana from the other room, "She's not a doctor and she doesn't even know you didn't break your hip." Nana was quiet for a while, but she later agreed.
Nana has agreed that the walkers can go back to the ~attic~.
She also got a cortisone shot for problem with her thumb. That usually lasts about 2 years.
The bad news is that her shoulder doesn't look good. One has already been replaced. But the doctor said he couldn't see the socket. Nana doesn't know that part, but just that she has an appointment to see the "shoulder man" after the first of the year. That ~might~ require surgery. But we're working on convincing Nana it won't until we really know.
And here's my favorite part of the day. On the way home wife said to Nana:
"Mom, if you become a cripple, I will take care of you for the rest of your life. BUT, if you MAKE yourself a cripple, I'll put you in a home."
Nana laughed. But she got it.
Thanks for all the continued prayers and for tolerating my rantings.
Corin wouldn't have gotten very far without his friends.
I actually posted on a he-who-must-not-pick-his-nose-lest-his-head-cave-in thread this morning...

You know, Liam Neeson was mentioned on that thread, then Rosie comes (back?) over here and posts his picture.
I'm just sayin...
What thread?
I'm just teasin' ya...it was a booger-fer-brains thread...
Oh...that thread.
I don't wanna know if Liam Neeson's a leftist, k? ;-)
Not the same one, unfortunately...Bean is a very common name around here.
Ah well...
Christmas before last, the Guild adopted the pilots on an aircraft carrier that was stationed in the Persian Gulf area. I think it was the Teddy Roosevelt. I made almost a dozen silky scarves for the fliers, and some stockings to put them in! That was fun cause I got some obviously feminine fabrics, but got some foulards and small paisleys which were very masculine.
Heh.... I didn't see that one or I might have been tempted!
It took me a minute to find it.... you've been on a lot of threads today that I might be tempted to call exploding-booger-head threads ;~D
Actually they don't look that great in pictures, but when they're place on the set up they look pretty good. Paul bought some like that a couple of years ago to dress up a Warhammer battlefield set up.
Valerie sure is a GRITS!
LOL! Indeed! When we used to go camping up near Squam Lake in NH, there was a grocery store in the little town that we passed through on the way, called "Bob's Supermarket". We always called it "Bob's Pretty Good Grocery", which is one of only a couple of thing we remember from listening to "A Prairie Home Companion" before Garrison Keillor went off the liberal deep end.
Yeah, but I don't like the folks Heifer sold my name to. Or the fact that Ed Assner is in their most recent mailing...and some other lib I can't recall.
I got a solicitation for the "Carter Presidential Center" yesterday.
'Course it came along side my Christmas card from The White House.
Yes and I'm currently yelling at people over on a Virginia thread. But I gotta go.
Tonite is "Preview Night." Our first paying audience, but still at a discount in case we have a major disaster.
See y'all later.
