spence 11-27-2008, 08:43 AM Use a stool!!
Stool doesn't help when it's all a throbbing. Was feeling good yesterday so I tried to skip my meds last night and am now paying for it!
This will be the first Thanksgiving I haven't cooked since I was a kid.

Growing old is a terrible thing. Never skip your meds, you'll end up paying for it. Enjoy the day regardless, be thankful you can still complain
freebie 11-27-2008, 09:49 AM staying home, then off the the bonfire after dark if I can stay awake long enough

Yea and I'm only 38 :cens:
This is one of those dumb injuries anyway. I smashed a toe and instead of resting it decided to go on a three day business trip to Charleston, SC.
That was a mistake.
All things considered, it isn't all that bad. I will heal.

Wow you complain about much as a greatly older person :biglaugh:
business must go on.

With hindsight I should have planted my ass on the couch and stayed home. It wasn't even the bad toe, it was walking on my heel for a week that strained the other side of my foot. The secondary injury is now the bigger problem!
Imagine, drop a kids skateboard helmet on your foot and a week and a 1/2 later have 5 , count 'em FIVE prescriptions and crutches :laugha:

whiplash 11-27-2008, 10:25 AM Barnstable -Falmouth Go Red Raiders!!! That's probably not PC anymore? Cotuit for dinner and tossing a few casts at Oregon - just in case....
fumifish 11-27-2008, 10:33 AM that is a big bird bro...
Turkey Day Part 1 in Winthrop with my wifes family at 1200 followed by the Ludlow traditions in Wareham at 1630. Going to be some serious weight gainage today. :btu:
Swimmer 11-27-2008, 10:40 AM Eat at my brother-in-laws new house in Manchseter-by-the-sea. Was there before it was finished. Probably walk to Singing Beach with all the kids after dinner. Lament the fact that I again am at Singing Beach with no rod in hand. Throw the football with all the nieces and nephews. Drive back down friekin 128 with all the other wackos out for the hols.
God bless everyone...............
tattoobob 11-27-2008, 11:05 AM Frank there are no fish up here anyways,
Spence sorry for your toe, I have been working for 9 hrs. a day for the last 3 weeks with a broken ankle talk about pain.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone
spence 11-27-2008, 11:28 AM Spence sorry for your toe, I have been working for 9 hrs. a day for the last 3 weeks with a broken ankle talk about pain.
Then you've got it worse than me, I can do most of my work at a desk if I need :o
I guess we should be thankful we're both working :)
-spence
tattoobob 11-27-2008, 11:44 AM We are surprisingly busy for the economy which is good for me, or we are just low balling to get the work.
The most I have to do today is make the gravy
piemma 11-27-2008, 11:49 AM Spence is 38 going on 72. He makes me feel young and I'm 61.
Jeff, sorry to hear about the mishap. Hope you, Danna and Griffie have a great day in newport. If it were Christmas I'd invite you to "The Farm" for one of the 9 bonfires I have ready to go.
Off to one of my sister-in-laws. No kids visiting this year so Jeanne and I will have a quiet dinner with her family.

BigFish 11-27-2008, 02:44 PM Its alot smaller now Peter!:yawn::sleeps:
I have to say I am quite pleased with myself this year! The true flavor of Thanksgiving to me has always been in my Dad's gravy! He just made the most delicious gravy I have ever had! After he passed away it was left to me to try to replicate it and I have tried now for 8 years......this year I nailed it! It came out over the top perfect!!! He would be proud! :jump:
