If I had to have surgery on my ankle, would anyone care
or would they want to shoot me in the head?

Redstone rocks!

4. Why do you have to have surgery?
Did you hurt your foot?

(these are supposed to be caring questions. My therapist has helped me phrase them).

5. No surgery needed here
as of now anyway...just an oblique reference to one of the Barbaro threads in GD.

6. I'd shoot you in the ankle to take your mind off the surgery.

10. I hate guns. They're only good for stopping unprocessed food.

I hope you're not going into surgery, but if so :hug:!

14. Perish the thought, KitchenWitch....
Even if Barbaro can never run in another race due to his ankle injury, he will be worth big money in stud fees down the pike. He can breed new super horses and for that reason alone is valuable. Aside from the fact he is one beautiful piece of horseflesh.

18. Distasteful even as a joke, isn't it? You and I may not share dietary
preferences, but we have other stuff in common. And with our pal FLV as well.

16. Why, KW, aren't you a peach. Thank you.
Sorry; I like a good fight as much as the next guy, but I just can't abide disruption just for the sake of being rude. It's kind of juvenile.

Fortunately, there are a lot more people at DU like you and all the other good folks than there are like my unmentionable adversary. He's beneath contempt, and not worth giving any more attention to.

22. I've had surgery on my ankle....I would really care.
What seems to be the problem?

3 breaks, torn damn near every ligament, and a partial reconstruction here....

23. Oh nothing really
I was making an oblique reference to someone trolling the GD thread about Barbaro (the Kentucky Derby winner) and his ankle surgery. Someone over there was basically saying "Who cares about the damn horse!" and a lot of folks found it offensive (including myself).

28. Ohhhh.......
I've been away from the board all day sanding, priming, painting, sanding, painting an outdoor garden bench.

And cooking dinner.

If we lived closer that is. But I would care. Surely I would. :hug:
