People of all ages are drawn to the sensations of racing?the wind in their hair, the adrenaline coursing through their veins, the checkered flags fanning them while pit crews feed them grapes. So Go Kart World ensures everybody can find the racer's thrill in a safe environment. Its so accessible, in fact, that its raceways have been shared by families and celebrities including Jonah Hill, Jodie Foster, and Quentin Tarantino.
Six winding go-kart tracks give racers the ability to handpick their experience. One arena is designed just for bumper cars, whereas a polished-concrete slick track welcomes slide-intensive sprint-car racing. The park's biggest draw, however, is its two-story Super Track, which tests drivers' skills and stamina with a one-third-mile course set 15-feet above the ground and filled with hair-raising 26-degree turns. Each course even uses its own style of kart, from kid-sized machines to adults' champ and euro karts that can reach speeds more than 40 mph.
Mulligan Family Fun Center's three locations surround parents and kids with sprawling smorgasbords of kinetic entertainment. Outside, each park's sunny grounds encourage healthy activity with putt-testing miniature-golf courses and the hairpin turns of go-kart tracks. In the batting cages, aspiring sluggers test their swing while recognized major-league sluggers test their disguise against the park's do-not-admit posters. Back inside, climbers scale the rock wall?s vertical challenges and friends battle friends in laser tag?s intense light-based combat.
Each location also has its own signature activities. The Torrance location's rookie go-karts, for example, enable younger drivers to take a turn down the track, whereas the Palmdale location boasts a longer, 1,500-foot track for children and adults alike.
Sky Zone fully embodies the concept of bouncing off the walls, as the facility is lined with gigantic trampolines on the floors and angled trampolines on adjacent walls. Ideal for people of all ages, shapes, and physical abilities, the trampolines unite to form one massive sea of bouncy terrain, upon which visitors can play or compete with hanging basketball hoops. Sky Zone is home to Ultimate dodgeball, an interactive twist on the classic playground sport that has teams jumping and dodging at new heights. Additionally, the park is great for birthdays and special events. Serious boot camps and aerobics courses allow guests to get into shape and have fun at the same time, unlike running from a stampede of buffalo.
The sight of a medieval castle surrounded by tall cacti may seem anachronistic at first, but it's hard to question the image when one is trying to putt a mini golf ball into a grassy hole off the circulating paddles of a windmill. It's whimsical moments like this that make Golf N? Stuff's name feel understated. Beyond the two lush 18-hole mini golf courses that draw year-round visitors, the entertainment center boasts go-karts, bumper boats, and more than 100 arcade games. Batting cages let both kids and adults perfect their swings. Visitors can refuel on hot dogs, Dippin' Dots ice cream, and soda at the snack bar.
Inflated structures, slides, and games fill the climate-controlled environs of the numerous BounceU locations that speckle the nation. At each site, staff members closely monitor all activities as little ones traverse obstacle courses or pull on oversized inflatable boxing gloves. The crew also invites parents to join in on the fun, letting them bounce alongside their kids or make sweeping edicts from atop a bouncy-castle throne. In addition to open sessions, the indoor-play haven sets the stage for the Preschool Playdate program, where instructors lead games and activities. Special events include family-bounce night, which lets parents join in the bouncing or relax in the party room and do grownup things, such as eat marshmallows with a knife and fork.
Frogs have evolved to be experts at jumping. Children are pretty good at it, too, though that?s more due to the supply of potential energy in their legs than anything else. Yet at Frogg?s Bounce House, tykes can ask advice from an expert as they bounce and play with Dancing Frogalina, a grown-up, felt-covered amphibian. Dancing Frogalina can show children how to jump with ease and breathe through their skin while they leap across 9,000 square feet of inflatable slides and fortresses.
Founded by a mom to give fellow parents a safe, fun place for their kids to play and exercise, Frogg?s Bounce House entertains all ages. Apart from its inflatable slides and obstacles, the jump emporium also boasts train tables, books, building blocks, a play house, fun cars, and a toddler gym for wee ones. Older siblings can play air-hockey, race through an obstacle course, or catch a flick in the movie lounge. Parents, meanwhile, can watch their progeny from the comfort of a seating area or they can surf the free WiFi or watch the game on TV.

Weymouth New Testament (WNT) | New International Version (NIV) |
12 For God's Message is full of life and power, and is keener than the sharpest two-edged sword. It pierces even to the severance of soul from spirit, and penetrates between the joints and the marrow, and it can discern the secret thoughts and purposes of the heart. | 12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. |

text: So I have the advantage of volunteering at the Georgia aquarium..which in itself is a great experience. However, this past week they sent out an email for volunteers talking about a new yoga class they were going to start up..but needed volunteers to take the class and get PR photos. OMG is was wonderful. We had the yoga class right in front of the Beluga tank with the beluga's watching on (i think they were trying to figure out what we were doing). Sometimes it was hard to stay focuses on the yoga due to the neat experience of hearing the clicks and squeeks of the whales...they are such beautiful creatures. I would love to do it again..but don't think i have the money to pay for it LOL. Oh well..it was fun...i'll post pics if they come on the website.

I was invited down to brew with a guy I met at another home brewers party. I went there last night to show him how to do all grain brewing as he does extracts. I could not believe the equipment he had for doing extracts.. A blichman(sp) brew pot with thermometer and sight glass and false bottom....Another Blichman pot for a hot liquor tank. Bayou burners , it was some nice equipment. I noticed he had a HUGE horse watering trough ( one of those big 100 + gallon things) set up in the middle of the brewing area with a drain attachment. I asked what it was for and he had 70 gallons of sanitizer mixed up in this thing!!! He uses one step but I believe I have converted him to star san. ANYWAY he kept this trough full of one step and everything was just thrown in it including carboys. Kinda handy as hell but a LOT of stuff!! I was a bit over whelmed with trying to use equipment like this as I am a turkey fryer and converted cooler mash tun guy but It went fairly well for a first run using it. He has several beers setting around in different stages of fermentation but no temp control. I got him to make a swamp cooler for this batch. Anyway he is supposed to come here this week to brew on my hillbilly set up!
It amazes me that someone could invest that much in brewing equipment but have no fermentation temp control.
70 gallons of sanitizer is about 68 gallons more than I need in a brew day, especially when using Star San. I'd definately use the trough for cleaning purposes.
BN Army for Life!!!

Tunze Comline DOC Protein Skimmer 9004
Product Manuals & Documentation
The new Tunze Comline® filters opens the way for compact aquarium components designed for internal operation, are ultra-functional and are highly-sophisticated. The system creates a natural atmosphere in the aquarium at a minimum size. The goal always remains the same, more performance and less space.
The Comline® DOC Skimmer 9004 is designed for use in seawater mixed aquariums / soft coral aquariums up to 250 litres (66 USgal.) or sensitive reef biotopes with stone corals up to 150 litres (40 USgal.). It works based on the TUNZE® Flash Skimming principle, water supply is provided via an efficient surface intake system with bacteria film removal. Thus, the system can also be used as a "standalone solution" in the aquarium. The featured TUNZE® Foamer generates many fine air bubbles with a diameter between 0.1 and 0.3mm, which ensures particularly silent operation.
The "Flash skimming" principle enables highly efficient foam production.
Protein-rich surface water is mixed with water thoroughly in the TUNZE® Foamer. On the surface of the air bubbles forming, pollutants such as protein, cellulose, dead cells, etc. are adsorbed immediately, the air bubbles are very fine, with a diameter between 0.1 and 0.3mm. The water/air mixture is expanded and stabilized in the skimmer cup, the water returns to the aquarium, and the protein-loaded air bubbles reach the skimmer cup reactor. The patented anti-overfoaming system intermediate chamber with phase water prevents the skimmer from overfoaming and controls the skimmer performance, depending on the water level and organic load.
The particularly high efficiency of the "flash skimming" principle compared to large skimmers with long contact time is obtained because the substances adsorbed by the air bubbles are not released again, thus they don`t return to the aquarium water again.
Includes magnet mounts for aquariums up to 3/8" thick.
Dimensions: 4.3" x 3.5" x 12"
Water Lever Required: Approx. 8.86" - 9.65"
Air Output: Approx. 150 L/H
Energy Consumption: 4W
Tank Size: 15-65 gallons
Surface intake with bacteria film removal.
Skimmer cup, 0.2l (.05 USgal.) volume, also accommodates the foam reactor, easy to remove.
Attachment with a patented magnet holder for a glass thickness of up to 3/8".
Intermediate chamber with patented anti-overfoaming system.
TUNZE® Foamer 9004.040, high air output and low energy consumption (4W).
Bubble-free outgoing water.
New "Comline® Design": comfortable use, elegant and unobtrusive in the aquarium.
Air flow regulation and silencer for an exceptionally quiet operation.

What's Up With Sesil?
May 19th, 2005, 03:55 PM
Did she get direct entry into RG? I don't think she got a wildcard, and she's not in qualies, so is she just on vacation?
Thanks in advance.
May 19th, 2005, 03:57 PM

Thanks in advance.
:lol: Sesil is in the main draw :devil: Hope she will do the same thing as Tsvetana Pironkova in Istanbul ;)
May 19th, 2005, 04:16 PM
She's in the main draw but barely. Seems like for her she play better when she's not playing much. It's like the more she plays the sloppier she gets. She's a good clay courter. She should have still played one clay court tourni before Roland Garros but we'll see if this works. Abigail Spears seems to be doing the same thing. She's only played one match on clay this whole season. Hopefully they've both prepare well enough to win a match or two at Roland Garros.
May 19th, 2005, 05:31 PM
She played some matches in the German League for TC MOERS.
Here are the results:

See if you can borrow or rent one before buying. It would be a shame to buy one and then not have him like it or use it. |

text: I feel terrible and this is the first place I ran to. I joined a TOPS chapter and went to my 2nd meeting on Thursday. I was totally bummed.........I gained 1 and 3/4 #. I thought our weight was a secret there until the meeting started and the leader had us all stand up and give our name and announce how much weight we gained or lost. Then on top of everything because I had the biggest weight gain, she gave me this little card stating if I loose weight next time that I get a free weeks dues, which by the way is a whole dollar. I ended up crying all the way home and was totally depressed the next day and slept all day. Is this what TOPS is all about? Can anyone tell me if it's a normal thing to do ( telling the weight loss/gain). Should I just suck it up and deal with it? I truely don't know what to do. I am still pretty bummed and humiliated. My daughters are furious and don't want me going back. I have lost about 20 # since the beginning of the year and now I exercise and my daughter said that because I am exercising that I am gaining muscle. I just need some good solid advice so please, help a girl out, ok?

A newbie to the forums, but could someone tell me when I can plant potatoes in Southeast TN (halfway between Knoxville and Chattanooga, right off I-75) I remember as a child my dad out in the garden in February planting potatoes and covering them with straw and mulch, but wonder if they won't rot in the cold ground. waited last year until ground was warm, had a couple of good rains then nada and a very pitiful crop. Garden is mulched, have plenty of mulch and cardboard to add. Seems like I remember dad always sprinkled his cut seed potatoes with lime and let them dry out a day or two before planting. Is this the way to go..and how early? What else can be planted now? Would like to get ahead of the summer drought (as predicted). Temp tonight is 38, last night in the low 20s. Thanks for any advice |
Follow-Up Postings:
The UT Agricultural Extension recommends planting Irish Potatoes anytime in March (see link below). Hey, that's tomorrow! There's a lot of gardening info at the UT Ag. Ext. Site: http://www.utextension.utk.edu/publications/homeGarden/default.asp Maybe what your dad put on the potatoes was some type of fungicide. You should at least let the cut surfaces heal over for a day or two before planting to reduce the chance of rot. Here's one of many helpful links you can find on the internet by Googling "growing Irish potatoes": http://www.ipm.iastate.edu/ipm/hortnews/1995/3-17-1995/potato.html |
Here is a link that might be useful: UT Ag Ext's Guide to Spring-Planted, Cool-Season Vegetables
Thanks for the link...lots of good info there. Am going to cut potatoes tonight and wait for the rain to stop and a rare, warm sunny day/ Thanks again. |

WHEN THE FRONT CAME THROUGH THE BAKERS PARKING LOT NEAR 90TH AND FORT..IT TRIED TO BLOW AWAY THE STEPHEN'S CENTER FIREWORKS STAND. AS CHIEF PHOTOJOURNALIST SCOTT BUER FOUND OUT.. IT WILL TAKE MORE THEN THE WIND AND RAIN TO SHUT DOWN THE FUNDRAISER. ( Scott Buer: How you guys doing? Volunteer: terrible, busy. ) THIS WAS "NOT" WHAT THE STEPHENS CENTER STAND NEAR 90TH AND FORT WAS EXPECTING.( Kelly Keegan, Stephen's Center: we were just getting inspected by the city planning guy and everything went well, and then the storm came through. ) THE STORM RIPPED THE TENT OFF ITS MOORINGS....( Kelly Keegan, Stephen's Center: I was standing right here this beam hit me in the back of the head. ) 60 PLUS MILE AN HOUR WINDS TOSSED THE PORTA POTTIES AROUND, BLEW OVER TABLES ...

How Soderbergh's Final Film Side Effects Was Inspired by a 'Real-Life' Vampire
- Thursday February 7, 2013
In Side Effects sanity is not what it seems. And that's a good thing.
In Side Effects sanity is not what it seems. And that's a good thing.
Guy Ritchie's sequel pits the world's most famous detective against brainy badass professor James Moriarty. Actor Jared Harris rules the role with a deceptively bland performance that makes the most of the intellectual battle.
Sherlock Holmes, master of disguise? Not really. Amid all the bare-knuckle brawling, slow-motion explosions and metaphorical chess play, the new behind-the-scenes clip for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows sandwiches in a sight gag in which Robert Downey Jr. looks more like London's shrewdest crime-fighting rabbi than the dapper sleuth he played last time around.
Sherlock Holmes, cross-dresser? Yep. In the new Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows clip, Robert Downey Jr. plays the Some Like It Hot card as the smooth-talking sleuth hatches a caper with wingman Dr. Watson (played by Jude Law) on a train speeding across Europe.
The director of Goodfellas and Raging Bull shoots in 3-D for the first time for his upcoming '30s-era film about a boy living in a train station who sets out to solve a mystery.
Repo Men's Jude Law and Forest Whitaker are perfectly capable actors but here's the brutal truth: In this organ-swiping thriller, the most compelling moments belong to liver, kidney and spleen. Set in a near-future, Tokyo-meets-New Jersey urbanscape crowded with JumboTrons, monorails, skyscrapers and shantytowns, the R-rated Repo Men, which opens Friday, blasts off with a […]
Robert Downey Jr. may not be tall or British like Sherlock Holmes, but he does possess the single most important attribute needed to play England's famous sleuth. The actor is smart. In the highly entertaining Sherlock Holmes, which opens Friday, busy plot, vivid locations, thorny relationships, fights, chases and explosions all vie for attention. Yet […]
We're about to see if the world is ready for a scruffy, sardonic, swashbuckling Sherlock Holmes. The new trailer for Guy Ritchie's take on the world's first private consulting detective hit the web Tuesday. Gone are any signs of Deerstalker caps and magnifying glasses; in their place are straight left jabs and hand-cuffed bed posts. […]

text: Relapse happens often. And there is nothing wrong with that. It is often PART of recovery. Really.Step one: Learn to not be so frustrated with yourself as though you have fallen from grace because you are human and relapsed. It is okay. It is really okay. I promise you. Step two: You must learn that you're not necessary back at the beginning just because you relapsed and are ill again. Any progress you made or good experiences you had are NOT negated by your current relapse. You will use them as you try to recover again and you will know better what to do and what not to do. You will be more aware. Use it.You will get to the place you want to be eventually. It may take a while. It may be a rough road. But you will get there. The things we struggle for the most are the most rewarding in the end. Your LIFE is important and you are struggling for a healthy, happy one right now...and when you get there...it will be fantastic. Step three: Hang in there and keep trying to get help for the things you need. Sometimes in order to GET a real life, you have to put your current life on hold. You have to stop and take the time to get real help. It will be worth it in the end. Because the end will be your new beginning.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
D Link was pretty much the only brand I had not tried, so I was really hoping for a miracle. I saw this router on sale for $34, which felt like the right price. Set up was typical, though I had some trouble with the install CD. The set up failed twice so I finally just tried connecting to the modem, restarting everything, which luckily worked. I immediately updated the firmware and then completed the advanced set up. My network includes one Vista laptop, two XP PCs, a PS3, and a Windows Mobile 5 PDA. For some reason it has been impossible to network the Vista with XP and every router I've tried crashes whenever I try to share files between the two versions of Windows. On top of that the PS3 is insanely unstable and the PDA only supports 10mb B connection and WEP encryption. I was having some high hopes for this router's "game mode". My PS3 constantly gets disconnected from the PlayStation Network, and assighning it a static IP and putting it in DMZ has not helped much. Initially it seemed to work a little better with the D-Link, but after 2-3 days it started disconnecting constantly again. Even worse though, the router started crashing every 10-15 minutes as well. The only way to get it back working was unplugging it. I thought that maybe I messed something up by updating the firmware, so I tried reverting back to the original. Unfortunately that did not help and the router continued crashing every 10-15 minutes. On that note - the firmware can only be updated manually, there is no option to check for new versions through the router's control interface.On top of that, Vista crashed it absolutely every time I tried to access one of my networked PCs. The signal strength was weaker than other routers, and the connection kept switching from 54 to 22, to 2 Mb and so on. On the bright side, it looked very solid, came with a nice little stand, though the power adapter was rather big. After a quick return I thought I would never find a functioning router. Luckiliy I decided to give Linksys one more try and picked up the WRT54G2. That router has been absolutely amazing. It works just fine with Vista and has not crashed once in over a month now. So in a nut shell: Save some time, skip this D-Link and head straight for the Linksys 54G2.

Knee-length, skirtlike garment worn by men as part of the traditional national garb, or Highland dress, of Scotland. It is made of permanently pleated wool and wrapped around the wearer's waist so that the pleats are in the back and the flat ends overlap in front. It is usually worn with the plaid, a rectangular length of cloth draped over the left shoulder. Both kilt and plaid are woven with a tartan pattern. The ensemble, which developed in the 17th century, is worn for ordinary purposes as well as for special occasions. Highland dress is the uniform of Scottish regiments in the British army; kilts were worn into battle as recently as World War II.

AP Medical Writer
Health officials say 2012 was the nation's worst year for whooping cough in nearly six decades.
About 42,000 cases were reported last year, the most since 1955. But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is still gathering information, and the number could rise to as much as 50,000.
Whooping cough tends to run in multi-year cycles, and experts say last year appears to have been a peak. Also, a newer version of the whooping cough vaccine doesn't last as long as expected.
The good news: Deaths from the disease were down last year, to 18. Experts think that doctors were faster at diagnosing and treating the disease during outbreaks.
Whopping cough used to be a bigger problem until a vaccine was developed in the 1940s.
2012 was worst year for whooping cough since 1955

"David Batstone is a heroic character." —Bono
In the revised and updated version of this harrowing yet deeply inspirational exposé, award-winning journalist David Batstone gives the most up-to-date information available on the $31 billion human trafficking epidemic. With profiles of twenty-first century abolitionists like Thailand's Kru Nam and Peru's Lucy Borja, Batstone tells readers what they can do to stop the modern slave trade. Like Kevin Bales' Disposable People and Ending Slavery, or E. Benjamin Skinner's A Crime So Monstrous, Batstone's Not for Sale is an informative and necessary manifesto for universal freedom.

Thanks for the update DQ.
So good to hear that Neil may be going home by the weekend!
Thanks for the update DQ.
So good to hear that Neil may be going home by the weekend!
The Three Musketeers... Bashful, Chrisglass, and Ronboy!
No, Neil has no cell phone of any kind. Just his home land line.
Believe me, if he could have posted via a smart phone, he would have.
And I know, if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest . . .
Some information from DQ about making financial donations for Neil:
I've received several offers from people to help, including some international ones.
I just found out that my bank will accept cheques drawn on various currencies when I present them for deposit. I was afraid it had to be an international money order or such for countries beyond the US and Canada.
I let the people who have contacted me directly know.
If you could post a note so that any body who might like to help out but thought the international would make it tricky, that'd be great.
So, whether it be a personal cheque, or a bank counter cheque (if they don't want me to have their personal info), is fine. They can PM me and I will provide my address. Or, if they want to PM you, you can give them mine so they can contact me during the day.
And, words you have all been waiting for - Neil's, not mine! The internet connection at the hospital was behaving much better today - maybe the storm did a number to the web. In any event, in Neil's own words:
It is I
Well, it appears that Yahoo is working again, at least tolerably. I guess you never got the Email I tried to send you the other night. I'm not surprised. It took me over 2 minutes just to get 'Hi, DQ' on the screen, and it took almost an hour to type just a few lines, and, even then, it apparently didn't transmit. At least now I can type and the letters appear almost immediately on the screen. The keyboard sucks big time, though.
Anyway, the reason I am writing this. You have my permission to post it.
As DQ posted, I went shopping on Sunday morning and made it all the way to my apartment and was pulling the cart up the walk to the back door. I hit a patch of ice (I was walking sideways step-by-step) and I suddenly had no leg to stand on. I went down hard on my left hip and the cart fell on my legs, but managed to roll onto my butt and move the cart off my legs.
As I was doing that, a young man in a black pickup truck pulled over, got out of the truck, and scrambled over the snow bank. "You look like you went down pretty hard." I quickly agreed. He moved the cart out of the way, got my left arm over his shoulder and his left arm around my waist, and started to lift. The pain was excruciating and I couldn't put any pressure at all on my left leg. I knew something was very wrong.
He got me seated on a snow bank and went to get a buddy of his just a few doors up the street, but his buddy wasn't home. He called another friend and said he needed help. He was on his way. It was only then that I remembered my roommate inside. My roomie came out in his socks and, between the two of them, got me to my feet just as the man's friend arrived. The three of them got me onto my computer chair and rolled me inside. I never did find out their names, and I'm mad at myself for that.
Anyway, once inside, I could 'feel' bones crunching in my left hip and I knew it was broken. My roommate called for an ambulance.
Long story short, I sat in Emergency from about 10:30 until about 2 when X-rays were taken. A doctor eventually came in and told me I needed surgery. He told me it could be repaired, but, where the break was situated, a total hip replacement was the better option. Surgery was set for 3:30 PM Monday afternoon.
They got me to my room around 4:30 Sunday afternoon. I was on morphine, so there was very little pain. I slept surprisingly well that night. Surgery went as scheduled, but I was amazed at how quickly I fell asleep. I was expecting minutes when it wasn't even seconds. I woke up at 7:06 in Recovery. By 7:30, I was back in my room. I slept even better Monday night.
Early Tuesday, Physio came in with a walker (Zimmer frame), wanting me to get to my feet and, if that went well, to take a step or two. I took those steps and kept going and stopped at the doorway about 8 metres away (about 25 feet). I think I surprised them as much as I surprised myself
Unfortunately, the last of the freezing went out and I had a rough sleep that night. I was pink, too. My whole left side. Something like iodine but looked more like Pepto Bismol. They wouldn't let me wash it off until my shower on Wednesday.
Physio came back on Wednesday morning and walked me to the nurse's station way down the hall. They wheeled me back in a chair. Today, I walked that walk again before being wheeled to the gym where I practiced climbing up and down 4 steps a few times using a cane.
I don't expect to be going home tomorrow. Perhaps Saturday or Sunday. My surgeon has been in several times to check the progress and even witnessed one of my ambulatory moments. He's extremely pleased with the progress, as are the nurses. They all comment on how much pain I can tolerate. I've lived with it enough years to know how to deal with it.
The next time you hear from me will probably be from my own home and my own computer which doesn't wag its cyber finger at me when I try to visit JUB. Thank you all for your thoughts, and I'll talk to you soon.
PS - The catheter came out this morning. Pretend you can see me doing a happy dance.
This is DQ now when I talked to Neil this evening, he also mentioned that he has a good role model for quick recovery from hip replacement surgery his surgeon! His surgeon had his hip replaced two weeks ago and is up, making rounds, and performing surgeries.
And I know, if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest . . .
Excellent. Hugs and mugs o' tea all around.
Thank you, DonQuixote. Definitely some wonderful news! Very glad to read this tonight.

Wow! That is wonderful news! Glad everything is working out well, Neil
Thanks DQ for relaying his update
While there is an obviously long way to full recovery, there is hope in the words of our friend Neil!
Great new, Neil, just take things easy for a while.
Very good news indeed.
If you get to pick, pick a walker and or cane with padded hand grips. This may make your palms hurt less.
Take it easy.
I couldn't get my mind off you all day.
~~~~ ~~
Wow, you are a trooper Neil! Keep up the positive attitude!
Neil, it is great to hear you are recovering and in good spirits. Hope your good sleep returns soon.
His good sleep, by and large, has been in the hospital - after the meds wore off not as much, but it's been better than at home.
He's gotten 4-5 hours of sleep in one session, which has been unheard of at home with his back.
That's why the discussions about the orthopedic bed.
Well, we will see what today brings - he has a robe and slippers with him now, so he can do the big marathon around the hospital w/out his backside being open to the wind.
He told me the hospital is about 10-15 blocks from his home.
Good morning, guys.
Talk to you later.
And I know, if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest . . .
Thanks DQ and good to hear from Neil....

Blah blah blah, something enigmatic sounding...
I am amazed that after a rather serious surgery that gsdx is already up and about and preparing to return home.
I has also been a relief that he is in contact with members in the real world, without whom we would have not been updated on his progress.
Perhaps all us "eldergays" should choose a guardian angel who can watch over us should we disappear from JUB without any warning.

Subject: Checking out
Well, DQ, it looks like I'll be going home tomorrow (Saturday morning) at about 11 AM. It's going to be a rough few weeks, but they tell me it will be until April before I'm back to normal and free of all mechanical devices.
It's going to be a lot different for awhile. I don't think I'll even be able to sit on the sofa (it's too low), so I'll have to see if I can get in and out of the computer chair. If I can't, I'm not sure what I'll do.
It's all so confusing. I've talked to so many people that I've lost track. Anyway, lunch (such as it is) has been served. From the smell, I might just serve it right back.
Talk to you later.

Subject: Possible Solutions for Seating - and Bed
Sorry your lunch doesn't smell appetising.
I hope your transition is fairly easy.
I'm going to ask you a lot of questions to help figure out solutions for you that won't bust a budget.
What height seat do you need for optimal comfort?
Can the nurses give you an indication of the heights of what you've sat in that is about right?
Is the computer chair height adjustable at all?
How much height do you need to pick up for the couch to work?
Are the cushions removable?
Would cut plywood under the cushions help - provide a little firmer base for sitting, getting back up?
Would having the back legs a few inches higher than the front make it easier to get in and out (maybe not sit!)?
How thick are your phone books? When do the new editions come out?
Maybe you could appropriate some old copies from your neighbors or local businesses and use them to add height to the couch -
I did this to the bed at a Marriott Courtyard when my Uncle came out years ago - he was a quadriplegic, and had a hoist - we needed the extra height for the lift base to roll under the bed - worked great - was a wide enough piece that any minor shifting wouldn't cause a drop.
Another possibility that might help your bed inclination AND your couch height:
I thought about your bed issue - and a maybe "fix" for you (until you get that snazzy one approved ) -
Maybe J or P could buy a length of 4"x4"x8' ($9.20) or 6"x6"x8' ($25.97) Pressure Treated Fence Post from Home Depot.
Then you could cut a piece the width of your mattress and put it under your head to prop it.
It might work without damaging the inner springs, since it's fairly low incline. I used to do that with the kids bunk bed.
I think I may have put it under the platform that served as their "box springs" - was rigid frame so mattress was fully inclined.
Do you have box springs - if so, you might put it under them, since they are more rigid than the mattress, will help support the mattress from bending. Another option would be to put a sheet of 5/8" plywood (1.58cm?) along the bed rails or between the box springs and the mattress and put the board under that so you have the rigid support for the mattress, again.
If it's under the box springs, you still get the gentler support from them. If it's between the box springs and mattress, the mattress will be firmer.
Then you could take the extra part of the post and cut it into 4(6) pieces that you could put under your sofa posts to give you some extra lift.
They also have 4x4x1.5"H ($1.83) and 6x6x1.5"H ($3.10) Post Caps - in the Peterborough store - they are lower rise, but they might provide a little extra boost or, if you don't want to get the full posts to prop your mattress, you might buy some of these in multiples of however many legs you have to raise. You could nail/screw multiples together to go from 1.5 to 3 to 4.5 to 6" rise, and you could do the back of the couch 1.5" higher than the front, if that made your sitting and standing easier, without making the couch too angled to sit, or for Jed to sleep on.
A 1.5" rise would cost you $7.32 using the 4" post caps, 3" $14.64, 4.5" $21.96, 6" $29.28
You get the idea. Some of our friends are mailing me money to put towards things you can use, so we can make this work for you.
I'll give you a ring before I head out tonight.

Thanks for your constant updates, DQ. Neil is such a trooper. I'm glad that recovery is going well and he will be back with us soon.
I'm so glad to hear that the surgery went well. I had a hip replacement in 2009 (ridiculously young, but I had avascular necrosis). So I know something of what Neil is going through right now. And friends to help you is really important.
I'm amazed he's not in a rehab hospital, or going to one. I didn't, but I had friends to take care of me (in their home, which unlike my house had a ground-floor bedroom).
If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities. -- Voltaire (1694-1778).
He's on one floor of a Victorian, and does have a roommate who Neil says can help him.
It's a fairly small place, so not a lot of distance in getting from a to b.
The Physical Therapist who came in yesterday was a Nurse Cratchett - took away the pillows and such that were helping to ease the pressure - she didn't seem to care about his back condition, wanted the hip a certain way - he was not very comfortable when I talked with him. Hopefully, he's headed out of the hospital in the next hour.
He's about 10-15 blocks from the hospital to home, so it's not a long trip.
And I know, if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest . . .
Thanks for the update DQ. Glad he'll be going home. I guess he'll be glad to be back in more familiar surroundings.
I'm sure he'll be happy to be home, no matter how it's spelt.
It would appear his release from the hospital is taking a bit longer - that, or they took him on a trip.
I just called the house and no one answered.
I'm off for a bit.
And I know, if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest . . .
Don, he was more than likely awaiting transportation back home, here is hoping that his first few days at home, are bearable for him.
His Landlord and Roommate were picking him up.
The target was around 11AM for discharge - hospital time.
I just called, again, since we're almost out the door - still not home.
(Yes, mother hen worries about her chicks, lol.)

I wouldn't worry too much DQ. The last time my mother was in hospital I was asked to collect her at 12 noon. By the time we'd hung around waiting for them to finish buggering about with paperwork and for the drugs to come up from the pharmacy, it was well after 2 o'clock.
^Sadly this is not unusual at all.
Update- with the ice and snow they had (4" of melting and refreezing ice on the sidewalks), his ride and roommate held off bringing him home until tomorrow.

I hope you are enroute to home sweet home as I post this.
I know you have the thread link, but in case you come here first, the boys across the pond posted a couple more music videos while you were gone.

Neil is home!
He stopped by here for a few minutes, was trying to get caught up, but I see he's off line now.
He told me
He felt a need to try and get back to everyone - I told him to take it easy - we all understand.Originally Posted by Neil

Glad to hear Neil is home. I hope that he gets to filling better soon.
Welcome home Neil.
I am home, and, funnily enough, still online. I won't be for long, though. I'm just about done here. More walking today since the surgery. Even with walkers and canes, it's been a exercise in pain - not so much in my hip, but in my thigh. From what I was told, not many of my thigh muscles were spared bifurcation. I'm just about ready for a lie-down and a nap.
By the way, it was a femoral neck fracture. The replacement is titanium.
Anyway, thank you for the kind messages. I didn't expect such a response. Why did I post in the first place? I was waiting for the ambulance and there wasn't much else to do.
It certainly is going to be an adventure.
PS - All the nurses were female. The only males there collected trash and meal trays.
Good to see you posting again, Neil. Welcome back!
Good to see your sense of humor as well, though it is a shame regarding the nurses all being female! Darn it anyway.
Wishing you all the best for a quick recovery.
I am so glad you are home. I wish you a speedy recovery.
I hope some of the facilities staff was still worth looking at!

Great news my friend, may not feel like it now, though give it a couple of months and you will find the change amazing. Speedy recovery.
Meanwhile, a few hundred miles to the East, I just saw Dynk's post that he is in the hospital!

Welcome home, Neil! Here are some tits to help you feel better.
Recently I heard a 'wise guy' story that I had a party at my home for twenty-five men. It's an interesting story, but I don't know twenty-five men I'd want to invite to a party. ~Joan Crawford
What a pity about the lack of male nurses!
Hope you start to feel better soon and make good progress with your recovery
Great to hear you're now home! Hope you have some meds to relieve the pain.
