LA, CA Questions, Complaints and Anything Else... Episode IV: A New Thread

My complaint for the day:

I may have broken a toe. I'm clumsy. I freely admit it. Yesterday I stubbed the left "ring" toe (is there a non-hand-referential toe nomenclature?) on my desk chair. I was about to go to my riding lesson, so I put on my boots, drove, tacked up, walked, trotted, cantered, de-tacked (?), drove home, removed boots, and the poor toe was looking black and purple. Sorry, I know that's gross, but...

In my experience little is done for broken toes or fingers but binding them to a buddy appendage and waiting it out. So this I am doing.

Complaint #2:

The UPS guy is supposed to come today with my Skywalker Ranch wine. The package left Van Nuys at 6 a.m. I live in Studio City. It's well after noon. This is the second time this week I've been stuck home waiting for a package from that Van Nuys UPS hub. It's probably because I'm a residential delivery -- and not a business one -- that I've been granted such low priority. Feh.

My toe would like that wine, but soon.

JediBith, feelin' cranky

 

Was that pic taken at "Lemmings?" Ah, the side dishes...mmmmmmmmm

No! Better!!!

 

I've never been to Lemmings but the location of the picture is very good. Oh man! I hope my wine comes in today also! I'm so excited!

Sorry about your toe, JB. You should have it looked at. My sister once broke her pinky finger and we thought she merely sprained it. We told her to stop being a baby. Well, she went to the doctor a couple of days later and the doctor had to rebreak it to reset it. It's never straightened out. She was about 5 when it happened. Sorry about ending a previous sentence with a preposition.

 

Where is Lemmings?

 

Jay: "Lemmings" is a joke...it's really Flemings, in San Diego. I referenced it originally in this thread.

Sorry to all...it's an in joke of the worst sort!

 

Crud. Miss clumsy just stubbed toe #2. Someone please help!

 

We need to send someone to protect you from yourself, JB.

 

JB you need to slow down, you move to fast, you got to make the moment last...
Anyway sorry about your toes. You are going to need protective shoes.

 

RE: JB's pharkled phalanges: you pretty much got it right. Tape it to the next toe toward the big toe, but don't tape too tight or the thing will heal crooked. It'll hurt alot, but after you tape it, make sure the bone is straight. The only way to do that is to feel around through the bruising and find out for yourself. The age old adage: "Then don't push on it, stupid!" doesn't apply in this case.

RE: Protective footwear. I'v efound that standard Navy "Flight Deck" boots are quite simply the most comfortable steel-toed shoes ever. Then you'll only have to worry about scuffing the shine off your boot on a wall or a curb, not mummifying your "foot fingers".

 

Aww, poor JB.

I broke my finger once. It hurt. It was my middle finger, though, which was really amusing when it came time to do the x-rays.

 

heehee, thats funny nabooprincess. i bet the doctor chuckled a bit.

ooo sorry about the ote JB... at least you didn't get food poisoning

 

My pinkie broke once--a frisbee hit it! I had a splint.

My sis has broken 2 toes, and all they did was that "buddy toe" thing mentioned before.

 

I've never broken a bone (knocks on wood) so besides my sister's finger I have no experience with broken limbs. Mr. DH has broken his nose before (afterwards he broke his best friend's arm - his best friend broke his nose - boys!) and my padawan almost broke an arm but that's it.

Sorry if it sounds insensitive but I find quadriplegic jokes super funny. I was listening to KROQ and Ralph said a bunch of them. I apologize to anyone out there if I have offended you with this odd post but I find them amusing.

this is actually a delayed complaint!!!!
Yesterday as i was leaving work, as i'm driving down the street ready to make a turn, this guy in a grey Infinty G35, coupe, darts out in front me..while talking on the phone and cuts me off!!!! and he keeps going as if nothing...like i wasn't even there..
(naturally i ckecked the licence plates to see if it belonged to anyone i knew)

I tell you, if you're gonna drive that kind of vehicle you better show some consideration for other dirvers...

Hey, i'm just happy it's friday!!!! woo hoo!

 

Damn Infiniti drivers.
It wasn't me was it? I didn't even go home yesterday, I went to the Dodgers game after work... and I don't remember talking on the phone until late evening.

I have flipped off people I know though while driving. It's embarrassing.

 

You know you can get a ticket to a Dodger game, for less than is cost to park there?

 

Yeah, those Infiniti drivers can be so inconsiderate! Man! They also suffer from roadrage so be careful.

I'm too poor to afford one of those and to be honest I don't know how people can talk and drive a manual transmission at the same time.
