I have that in my right flip off finger. Cortisone did not help. Finger stood in permanate road rage mode. Had some minor cuts done. Nothing painfully. But what is a thing to know (and that they did not tell me) is that the area just next to the cut will remain numb for in my case 2 years. Also scare tissue will emerge that give the old finger a different feel. And make very sure you keep the wound very clean. For some reason fingers infect very easely i found out. In all i could use it as it was designed after 4 weeks
But in all it is much better then before.
I think I am getting the first stages of it in my left ring finger. Every once in a while it starts ti curl and get stiff, and then it returns to normal after a bit. Only done it a few times now. We'll see. I read it is very common in people of northern European descent, and even in the United States.

Good changes are it is not limited to 1 finger. If you stretch your hand palm up and push fingers as far as you can below, you should be able to see white strands of fiber. That is what will be removed.

No, I have stenosing tenosynovitis , commonly called "trigger finger". Painful and hard to bend and straighten in the morning, but loosens up as the day goes one, but still there in the background.
Annoyed is not strong enough, horror stricken and very sad is a better description.
In a house next to my son's school, there were 3 dead and one heavily wounded because of a shooting incident. It's a family. 2 girls from my son's school and their father died while the mother apparently is in critical condition. No details yet, but they were in the process of a divorce and the guy was a police officer and had a gun.
This really pisses me off and makes me really sad. How crazy must you be when you think that killing your own little girls is a good idea? It's mind boggling.

Are you sure you live in the Netherlands?
I am so sorry to hear this though. I don't know how anyone could do something like this. Your own children????

Very sad Marcel. There are two court cases in BC right now dealing with the same sort of situation
My wife gave me a tale of woe from her "inconvenient" type store job. A homeless scruffy guy came in...grabbed a can of Red Bull and
some chips and went to a photo kiosk and plugged in his "cell phone" to charge. The police came and removed him, he wasn't arrested
as it wasn't worth it. A cell phone for the homeless? I hear these stories constantly, people don't want a hand up they want a hand out! I am
sick of Florida, the U.S.A. and the World. Anyone know where there is a portal to an "alternate universe"? Oh yeah.....he didn't pay for the Red
Bull and chips, obviously. John

That is really shocking. How someone could kill their own little girls. Don't even know what to say.

Well it varies alot by location. I live in Orange county Ca and most of the crazy stuff like that that's common in LA doesn't go on here. A little bit but nothing like LA.
If you head out to the smaller cities/ towns even less so.
If things suck where your at maybe a change of location? That's my plan in 7 years when I retire. Headed for Bishop. Most beautiful place on earth( in my opinion). Like I said it's not too bad here yet but I can see the direction it's headed.
Plus the trout to person ratio is much more favorable in Bishop
I retired from New England to here in Florida. It's much cheaper to live but the whackos are everywhere. I no
longer can do my favorite sport of fly fishing for trout. The lakes here you can't swim in, gators, venomous snakes
and flesh eating bacteria and brain eating amoebas. What a joke moving here, I did a RIP. Retired Into Poverty. I am
definitely looking at finding a way back north as this is not my way of living. It's very affordable but I am now trapped
until I can get the finances up to move. Such is life. John

That is why I just left the deep south to move back up north. Much better quality of life than living in the mosquito infested swamp.
Best thing our beloved rich Uncle did for me was exile me to Key West for 3 1/2 years to learn early in life that where "the livin' is easy, fish are jumpin' and de cotton is high" is where the flotsam and jetsam of the human and animal kingdoms pile up and competition for the scraps is most vicious.
I'm happy to spend my retirement here, where people are (mostly) civil to each other, and where the harsh winters kill or drive off the weak and the incompetent of both kingdoms. (And where Canada is a hop and a skip north if a getaway is needed.)
Come on home, misplaced yankee, let me buy you a brew.
Cheers,
Wes
I hear they're taking applications for wintering over crews in Antarctica. You could meet some of a different kind of whackos.

Woman in a van drifted off the road this morning and smashed my concrete block mailbox to bits. She ended up well into a yard up the street. Fortunately they had left that section in "natural vegetation" and the palm trees and palmettos absorbed the impact and stopped the vehicle.
The driver claimed to have swerved to avoid an animal in the road. There were no skid marks at any point.
A man from the County stopped by and told me that concrete box mailboxes were not per Code and the mailbox owner has been known to be successfully sued by the vehicle driver for not providing a more delicate object for them to crash in to.
So I'll be putting up a mailbox on a wooden post, the kind the kids like to destroy for fun.

Payday! After taking care of the bills I still have $70 left! Then my wife and daughter return from the store having racked up $750+ in purchases.
No problem. I'll just put in 25 hours overtime tomorrow to make up for it.
