Oh man. In undergrad I had a Thermodynamics professor who used the DRAFT VERSION of his textbook to teach with. It was completely unedited and he expected us to catch any errors. He was also like 80 years old, doddering, hard of hearing, forgetful, didn’t give us a syllabus until halfway through the semester… It’s the only class in undergrad that I got less than a B in. Years later I still resent him lol

I just love your work. This is beautiful!

We are all just prisoners here

Not the Beatles?

Anything else is badness 10000

Yup - I went to Temple University and the whole sidewalk from the train station to campus was lined with these. The leaves are beautiful but the berries are just horrendous. We called them shitberries. It was really hard to avoid them and sometimes you’d step on one, and end up apologizing the rest of the day because that stench sticks around.

I think they got rid of those trees. The students now don’t know what they’re missing out on!

I had to really watch these positional restrictions for the first four weeks. After that I could ease back into a more full range of motion, but only to my comfort level (in other words, I couldn’t push anything and had to take it slooooowly). No running or jumping for the first 12 weeks. But now I can pretty much do anything I want. I do still have pain sometimes if I sleep in a weird position or if I go too hard in the gym, but more or less I’m back to normal. Certainly I’m better than before surgery!

My problem was called a femoroacetabular impingement, which is a congenital overgrowth of bone at the neck of the femur. It limited my range of motion (e.g., squatting was difficult) and led to a torn labrum (hip cartilage). The surgery was to sew the labrum back together and pin it down, and shave down the bone overgrowth. They did it all arthroscopically. I’m really glad I had it done, even though recovery was frustrating!

I talked a little more about recovery here if you’re interested.

Yeah I had hip surgery in March and these restrictions sucked. They were important but soooo hard to comply with, especially with sleeping. But even harder was not being able to lean forward while sitting - I could have no less than 90° between my legs and my trunk.

…what do you think teetotaler means?

I’d call it a radius, not a ratio, but yep.

I would absolutely:

• Get rid of anxiety (assuming there’s some genetic component to this - seems like all the women in my family have it)
• Change my eye color from hazel (mixed green & brown) to full green
• Add about 5 inches of height (I’m only 5’0")
• Add gills to my sides that deploy at will when under water, but otherwise are hidden
• Fix that annoying “it went down the wrong pipe” design flaw
• Add a nictitating membrane to help fix my dry eyes
• Wings? Maybe!

OK, smarty, go to a party

I’m 42 and it’s hit or miss whether I get carded. A delivery guy was delivering my dog’s prescription and asked me if I was “at least 21”…I was like buddy I’m double that!

Because they are yum?

Don’t you wish your orchid was hot like me

Agreed, this helps but it isn’t a real solve

TV, not a movie, but Spike from BTVS. I mean, come on!

Wow…I’m not sure anyone could beat Dana Scully in my book.

Charisma Carpenter could come close though!
