The doc is sending me for an MRI on Monday. She suspects nerve damage in my lower back. Not too worried about the blood, because it is common after trauma. But, as long as it is not actually broken, we can ignore nerve pain, right? Please?

I'm glad the Dr. is having you go in for additional checks, but nerve damage? Isn't that something to be concerned about? Take care and let us know.

Now that you've switched from iPad I to iPad II, can you see any difference, other than having two cameras so Jobs can spy on you no matter which way the device is facing?

Not that I would upgrade. One camera makes the device illegal for me to have at work, which is why I bought one before the new model came out. But I am curious to know if the new one is worth the upgrade.

Wish I could, but;
A) I don't like to trust my life to rental gear. 120 feet underwater is no place for second best breathing equipment.
B) I certainly can't trust my work to the type of camera kit one can rent. I don't even trust my own camera, so always bring at least two.

If it were just a 'lay-on-the-beach' vacation, drinking neon colored rum drinks with little umbrellas in them, reading my Sony 505 I could get away with just a bathing suit and a credit card. But I gotta work... At least my clients pay for the excess baggage fees!

I never had the iPad I, the iPad II was my first iPad. It's funny, when the first iPad was released, I really wasn't interested in it, as I really wanted a large-screen eink device, as I would get headaches when staring at my laptop for too long. I bought it on a whim, as I knew that I could return it within two weeks if I didn't like it. I ended up really enjoying it. I really like the "speed" of the iPad when reading PDFs, and now I'm glad that I opted for a device with an LCD screen. Also, I do like having colour. I do use the camera's for Skype quite frequently, so I'm glad that I bought the iPad II rather than the iPad I. Other than that, I don't think that I really do anything on it that would warrant an upgrade if I had already owned the iPad I. I do like the thinner form factor of the iPad II better, though, and the white bezel.

You mob and and all you fancy schmancy iPad and stuff. What was wrong with this?

Ok, SS's post confused me, then Stitchawl's second post really confused me. Why, you ask? Because I read that first message as "Packing my gear for my trip to MINNESOTA" Uff-da!

DUDE! I read your posts after this, definitely get this taken care of! Nothing is more debilitating than back issues. Ok, getting your head chopped off is, and so is losing a few limbs, but ...you get my point, right? GO THEE!

Reading "golf simplified" on my Kindle.. thousands of public domain books on google books.. great to transfer over to the kindle

dreams · 05-13-2011, 02:17 AM

I'm making coffee, deciding not to do the dishes, wondering where I stashed the emergency chocolate, and reading threads.

FlorenceArt · 05-13-2011, 02:41 AM

Trying to start my work day. Not succeding very much.

Pah, golf is already simple.

1. Place ball on tee
2. Hit ball
3. Hear splash
4. Fail to find ball in lake
5. Return to 1. above

That's how I play the game anyway.

Right now waiting for my co-workers to finish their meeting so that we can go to lunch. I'm hungry!

Work that includes scuba diving and taking photos and paid excess baggage fees? I hope I would have a job like yours

There are regular chocolate and emergency chocolate?

To me, any kind of chocolate requires specially speedy treating

Boy or girl kittens? If girls, keep them from removing their stitch(es) for at least 1 day.
Kittens bounce back fast!

One of each. Vet says she might need a protective collar, depending on how she reacts to the stitches.
