The problem with Gluten, is that people "assume" is a real problem, for which it's not.

A very tiny percentage of the overall population has difficulties processing glutin, but the media has made it out to be an overwhelming problem.

Glutin is actually a vital source of needed fiber and people who fall for "glutin free" products are actually depriving themselves, doing more harm than good.
 

4th one down....

Panty waist pansies that sit on their cell phones while the traffic light in front of them has been green for 15 minutes!!! That's what annoyed me this morning, plus the fact it's the middle of May and the high temp is going to be in the 40's and it rains every other flipping day. I'll add more later as I think of it or as it happens.
 
Hard work if it's a four cylinder car !!!

Not really annoyed, but slightly irritated, and a little amused too.
Dragged myself into the 21st Century, and bought a GPS Sat Nav for the 'Tin Tent', so that I can get lost with confidence.
Spent an hour or so reading the 'User Manual', a small booklet with tiny text, and found out how to watch videos or TV on it, how to play games, connect to 'Bluetooth' or a PC, use Internet Explorer, listen to music on MP3 or MP 4, and a whole shed loaf of other stuff.
But can I find anything which tells me how to use the Navigation system?
Can I b*ll*cks !!!!
 
Just found out my Nephew was car-jacked last night. Two guys came to look at the car he is selling and roughed him up and took the car. Police found it later in the evening with minor damage. Thankfully he was not injured too bad.
I'd like to find the loosers and give them some minor damage, make that major damage!!!
To add insult to injury, it happened on the day after his 22nd Birthday.
 
Well...if you guys recall, three years ago I had my wreck.

In the interim, my employer decided not to bring me back and things have been a mess since then.

Today, I saw my surgeon because of problems I have been having and it's official, I am no longer employable...

My back and neck have healed as well as they can although still painful, the right foot is having problems and needs a brace.

My left collarbone never healed and moves around as it sees fit, my left shoulder is a disaster. He said that corrective surgery *may* work or might make it worse. So I'll settle for the Cortisone shots every three months to ease the pain and allow it to be functional...and this will be pretty much every three months for the rest of my life.

Kind of depressing, really.
 
Sorry to hear that Dave
 
I can fully understand how you feel Dave.
I well remember being told that the RA I have would get progressively worse over the years, and it has, which can make life miserable at times.
But, having now got used to the control drugs, and with the new meds imminent, and advent of new drugs on the horizon, at least some of the pain and discomfort can be relieved, if only to a certain level. The difficult thing to come to terms with is the lack of the mobility and physical fitness one is, or was, accustomed to - I never thought I'd be, to be blunt, a cripple at the age I am now - but once this is accepted, then it's a tad easier to accept life as it is, make allowances for any disability in everything that's done, and get on with life as best one can - particularly the enjoyment aspect, of anything that can be enjoyed, whilst it can !
It's hard, but then there are a lot of people out there who are worse off, and we could be one of them (if that makes sense?).
Keep your chin up, smile, and stick to the motto "Nil Iligitimus Carborundum" !!!
 
Sorry to hear about that Dave. Like Airframes said, it could be worse. As serious as your injuries were, the beauty of it all is that you're still here to see what adventure each new day holds.
 
The physical condition/s suck but hopefully there are no brain issues. I have a younger brother with one (or two) too many concussions and even several years after the last one he has short term memory problems, walks a bit strange and has trouble talking when tired, both connecting words and pronouncing them. A lot like a stroke victim. He has also hit max recovery.

Hang in there and best wishes.
 
Back in 1995, Ted Sismore, lead Navigator on the Shell House and other low-level, precision Mosquito attacks, told me his attitude, at the time, and since, having survived right through WW2, was that 'Every day was a bonus', and it's something I've remembered ever since.
Ted was highly decorated, and lived a long and active life, a true gentleman of the old school, so what was good enough for him, is good enough for me, and I'll admit, that attitude has helped get me through the low times.
